It was actually very easy to assemble with following directions step by step. Love the locking assembly instead of tons of screws. we had a number of extra screws and they were quality screws. Seems tough and strong . We are impressed and happy with it Quite large and lid jacks work great. Considering ordering another if l can figure if. I need it.

It’s broke

The product didn't come with an instruction. I had to look up an instruction online for similar product(I think it was java) from the brand's website to build the product. Overall,it is very easy to assemble. A lot of plastic holes and edges are not cut completely so I had to use utility knife to trim and make a hole in order to "clip" the product together. Watch for any sharp edges as the plastic is not trimmed

Bought last May 2019 for pool equipment and deck chairs. Last week I noticed two cracks on the lid face. The cracks line up with the metal brace on the inside of the lid. I would not recommend this product. I have not called Sams or Keter just don't want the runaround. Should have stayed with Rubbermaid.

I bought this deck box last year and when I opened it up this year I was met by wasp. I have found several wasp nest attached to pillows stored in the deck box. Along with other bugs. Warning the box is not tight and be careful when entering it. I need to find a Wasp repellant to put in the box.

This is a decent storage box. Sturdy enough, but not "rugged" so you wouldn't want to have a lot of weight pushing on the insides of the box, or i think the sides might bow out. You could not sit on it, but you could use for serving table space, and it is more than tall enough for that. Perfect for storing pool floats, life jackets, etc. The 230 gallon is tall, so if you're short, you may not be able to reach into the bottom of the. It is 100% water proof in the rain, as it has been through several very heavy downpours, and it has stayed dry inside, so you could store beach towels in it with no problem. It is light and easy to move around. One person can easily drag it (it's too bulky to lift for one person, two can do it very easily.) The black definitely gets HOT in the sun, but that is to be expected. This is a BIG box so be sure you have a place in mind for it. I would suggest somewhere at the back of your space and out of the way. We moved it 3 times before settling on a final spot becuase it was so big and just captivated the space. I should probably give this 5 stars becasue it suits our use perfectly, but I'm giving it 4 just because it is a little bit "not-rugged" -- I don't want to say flimsy, because it it not flimsy, it's pretty sturdy, just... ...not rugged! As far as the assembly, it was easy to put together if you are a practical person and can use the instructions as a guide. Be careful with the screws and using a power drill, it is easy to strip the threading of the plastic that they screw into.

We got our first box about 3 years ago, but found it hard to find more. The box arrived damaged and missing instructions. It was assembled using the first one as a guide because we didn't receive a reply from customer assistance. Within 2 weeks the price jumped $20.when we wanted another one. Other retailers are significantly higher than Sam's Club.

This deck box is well engineered, easy to assemble, and results in massive/sturdy storage. Only issue was a missing lid end cap (LM) -- only 3 of the 4 were in the sealed bag. Other than that, Keter should be commended for a job well done. Although the color is brown, it seems closer to black when out in the sun.

These are attractive, large outdoor or indoor storage bins of relatively strong molded plastic with metal reinforcement at the stress points, easy to assemble and lockable to the point it would deter small hands but easily compromised by larger hands. Sams Club offers these at significant discount over other merchants, some being offered at over twice the price.

I wanted to declutter my shed. Purchased this deck box to store pool floats, pool and yard toys in. It is so roomy and lots of space for storing large and small items. It was so easy to put together! After reading some of the reviews I was a little apprehensive. It took two of us roughly 30 minutes. It came with instructions and nothing was missing. I'm hoping to get many years of use from it.
