Bought the Lifetime Outdoor Storage Deck Box (130 gal) Model#60040 almost 10 years ago and it still sits in our back yard on the water year round in the sun and snow down at the Jersey Shore..still looks new...that said we just bought another one...Lifetime is the best!! Corbin from customer service is a true gentleman...

I usually love my Lifetime products. The box works great as expected. I do have a small dent in a side panel (likely from shipping), and I also have some scratches on the lid (likely from the hinges/bolts/screws sliding around during shipping). Not a deal breaker. The biggest issue I had was when I was I was connecting the latch system. The back and side are placed onto the bottom with a tab the inserts and slides. However, a gap existed about 1/4 inch on the back piece. This made the back 1/4 higher that the right side. The latch mechanism was now about 1/4 of an inch higher and the bolt holes did not align. I eventually had to place the box on an uneven ground to twist the box enough to get the bolts through the proper holes. I am concerned over time the bolt will pull through the plastic on the side. Other than that, the construction of the box was easy. The lid fits tightly down. Overall I am satisfied (perhaps if I bought it in the store, instead of having it shipped, the other issues would have been fixed).

We had bought one of these years ago. It was a very sturdy deck box that did not leak so we thought we would buy another one. When we got it home and assembled it, we noticed that the new box is not quite as sturdy as the older one. This one does not have the metal brackets in the corners to keep the sides together. There is a screw you insert instead--not near as sturdy and you cannot put quite as much cushions in this one because it causes it to bulge out. Sure wish they would quit making things today cheaper and always trying to find ways to increase their profit margin. It should be about quality and that is what consumers deserve. Somewhat disappointed because we loved the older one.

When the DIY finally gets put together you have a super storage box. Unfortunately, the putting it together leaves me unsettled. I usually can figure out how to assemble most items but this one was horrendous. I even went to the internet demo and still could not figure our how to get the two long sides into the holes and "slide them" into a locked position. After several tries I resorted to a rubber mallet and had to bang the ends in order to get them to move. In the demo the technician must have had some type of "grease" to make it look that easy. Once I got them into place the rest was simply following the printed directions. If you don't mind the initial frustrations, you might get the deck box you want.

This is a Great quality very large storage bin for outdoor patios. We thoroughly enjoy this hefty storage bin. However, we found that it was not as easy to construct as many reviews had indicated; It definitely takes two people to put this together. Having said all that, it is Not extremely complicated/confusing to build either. Highly recommend this outdoor storage bin.

Shopped in stores and online for a deck box to put outside by the pool. This one was the best priced and size for my purposes. It was also well made and sturdier than the others I looked at in the same price range. After we got it home and put it together, which was fairly easy, we were very happy with the choice we made. The top has a controlled spring hinge (gas I think) that works very well and you can lock it with a pad lock if you want.

We ordered this to put on our new deck. I'll be honest...even though we knew the measurements, it's really big and roomy!!! Almost too big! But it's perfect for what we need-a place to put things when the weather is bad. The instructions were confusing at first because there were only pictures for most of the steps, but we were able to put it together in about a half hour. It's sturdy and will hopefully last for years. Be warned-it says you can use it for extra seating, but the limit is 250 pounds and the thing is big enough to easily seat two adults. But to keep the weight limit, an adult and a kid would be about it. It's also large enough to use as a serving area...throw on a tablecloth and set out your food. I think this was an excellent purchase and would buy it again!

Some difficulty getting the slots to line up when putting the front and back into the base plate. You can mess up the locking dogs if you force it. Also a plug wasn't completely removed from one slot on both units (got 2 of them), and two holes in the plastic needed enlarging. Nothing major, just needed to be careful during assembly. Once assembled it is a great unit. Was pleasantly surprised that the lid had gas shocks to control lid opening/closing.

I bought a deck box about 3 years ago. My house is right by the ocean and gets sea spray during storms. The hinges rusted out on the box which was not unexpected. When I contacted the company to try to buy new hinges I explained the situation. They just replaced them for free no questions asked. This was unexpected and I was very pleased.

Price is good, quality of pieces that snap together is bad, not easy to slide panels in slots due to bad quality of tabs, tabs not formed properly make it hard to slide and end up deforming.... was very frustrating....other then that it’s a good size box
