I was able to assemble the item by myself and as a female it was easy to follow the directions and the pieces are not heavy. The instructions are easy to follow. I purchased this size because smaller ones were going for around the same price. I am able to fit everything from my patio in it (Cushions)

I bought this a week ago, the deck box arrived in a big box that had been opened and tapped a few time. When I opened the box the Deck box had 3 broken pieces. I am not able to take the box to federal express. the customer service agent set up a pick for 8:00 am this morning, and I am still waiting, I will never order anything from Sam's Club again, I am so frustrated with this.

At first, I was really pleased with this outdoor storage box. The size was perfect for our needs, and it seemed to keep everything inside dry, even through rain. However, my experience didn't hold up over time. After less than two years of use, the box lid cracked and broke. Given that it's marketed as weather- and UV-resistant resin, I expected it to last significantly longer. Unfortunately, it just didn't hold up to normal outdoor conditions. I would only recommend it if you're looking for a short-term solution rather than something built to last.

Ok I’ve had mine now for over 2 years. I got lucky and got it on sale in July I believe it was And I did that by reading reviews and noticing dates so I paid like 119.99 for mine. I am disabled but had no prob putting it together by myself. What I use it most for is Actualy a work table/bench, as it’s very tall so I can work on a lot on the top of it plus store a lot inside in fact I considered getting one for my autistic son cause he likes confined places and would love it in his room to get inside with his iPad and just chill once the white comes back in stock I will be doing that for sure. It looks exactly the same as it did when I got it and I don’t have a covered porch so it gets direct sunlight from about noon til dark. The lid opens and closes super easy with the pistons is absolutely water proof. I do find a lot of spider webs and spiders but the bottom has a small gap at the seam. May try some spray foam for that. I did try spraying flex seal but it just ran through the gap. My deck boards are not as close together as they should be so I’m sure it’s spiders entering from under the porch into the bottom other than that I hear most people don’t have that problem. That would be my only complaint. I also have the small deck box 2 actually same brown color by keter and love those too use them for my automatic pool vacuums and as side tables or seats. And I have the medium one that looks more like a bench but doesn’t have the back on it like some do. It doesn’t lock like this one and the small 30 gallon. Keter changed their warranty policy while back they will only add it if the item is registered within certain time frame so best to handle that. I missed out on drill and driver lifetime warranty from rigid cause I was not aware it had to be registered within 90 days to obtain that coverage so hope this helps someone. But I’m not thinking warranty would ever be necessary for this deck box it’s so sturdy and again in direct sun light and not a fade or warp from me working on the lid for various projects such as sanding and painting

I bought 2 of these. Both had deformed side panels that I had to reform with a blow dryer, both were missing parts. You can only deal with Keter customer service via email for parts. If I was not 2 hours away I would return these to Sams Club. It ticks me off to wait for parts for a new item and these boxes aren't cheap. I saw reviews from others that have purchased these and parts were missing, I should have listened. I hope Keter ships these parts out quick or Sam's Club will be my part supplier. Very disappointed. Don't be like me, find another product.

I recommend the following: 1 - Use a power drill screwdriver with a No.2 Philips bit to assemble it. Set it for a torque (autostop) of "1" or "2" and drive a screw in until the drill reaches full torque and "tap-tap-taps." Then check the tightness with a hand-held Phillips screwdriver. If it is good and tight, keep that setting. If too loose, increase the torque to "3." You will be screwing in a lot of 1" black screws, and you want them all equally tight and fully seated. 2 - When the plastic sides and bottom are assembled, there will still be a small gap where the edges come together, maybe just enough to slip a piece of paper into. It's enough that maybe spiders, ants, etc. could make an entry. Also, it would allow driving rain, or a lawn sprinkler, to put water into the box and that could lead to mildew or mold. So I bought a tube of silicone sealant and ran a bead all around the edges on the inside, sealing the box watertight (I think it would float now). 3 - While the top has a decent overlap over the sides, I wanted a more weather/watertight/insect proof seal between the bottom box and the top lid. So I bought a roll of 1/2 inch wide, 1/8 inch thick self-adhesive backed foam insulation and applied it all around the top of the box. Now the lid closes and seals with no gap whatsoever. 4 - The floor of the box is not strong enough for firewood or other heavy items, unless you support the bottom -- under the center -- with shims. It's great for seat cushions, pool floaties, beach balls, etc. 5 - The lid likes to be lifted straight up, from the center, and lowered straight down. The hydraulic lift tubes that help lift the lid and hold it when it is up are located at the rear left and right edges of the box, and don't want to be twisted. 6 - Last comment: Position it where it will not be sitting in standing water.

Corner post at bottom interior had a small piece (about 1/2 inch) broken/cut off, and underside of lid had a small crack. The former merely enlarged the gap at the bottom corner of the box, while the latter seemed that it would have no affect on performance as it was the cover and would not be supporting the contents.

This storage box is big! We fit a bunch of outdoor furniture cushions in it as well as a few suitcases, etc. It was very easy to assemble and I think it's strong enough for what it's meant to do - keep stuff dry and out of the elements. It's too big and too weak to sit on. I think it should hold up a few years - for the price, I think it's well worth it. Do note that a few little pieces broke off during shipping - nothing big, but due to it's size, I guess that happens.

It's big! Easy to assemble. With 1 person I had it assembled in less than 30 minutes. Instructions easy to follow. I'm using it for storage inside so can't tell you how it holds up outside. Although solid it's not super heavy. I feel the wind could potentially move it outside if it was strong enough. I love the top has lift assist so once you start to open it, it does the rest.

I purchased the Keter 250 gal deck box and it was super easy to put together and the directions were excellent. The reason I gave my review 4 stars instead of 5 is because of a few broken pieces, namely 1 corner was severely cracked and the back panel was split. I still put it together and will fix the broken pieces with waterproof glue. Looking back I should have purchased it in-store and picked out a box that had no dents or rips. Oh well, sometimes pickup works and sometimes it doesn't.
