Seems like a good product, missing all 4 interior brackets and 2 corner plugs. 1 Corner support broken but did not affect assembly. Overall, it's great for storage and Keter was responsive to parts request, although their parts website does not have the 230 Gallon loaded yet, so you cannot get parts via a parts request, you have to talk to customer service, which was great, just took awhile listening to music to get to the great customer service.

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.

Original shipment was damaged. Sams sent a replacement which was done in a very timely manner. We have put the deckbox together & feel that we will be very satisfied. We wanted a really large deckbox to store our patio furniture cushions in. This one will be perfect for that.

I bought this as a gift for my son. He really likes it. It was very easy to assemble and he can store all sorts of yard things that are wanted to be close at hand. With a teenager and a preschooler, everything from basketballs to small bikes go in there.

We ordered this online. When we took it out of the box, there were a few places inside that were broken but they won't show and aren't going to affect the appearance or function. The face of the lid however was bent and warped where the locking mechanism should go. This was definitely noticeable but still functional. My husband took a heat gun and softened the plastic so we could clamp a straight edge to remould it and it's okay now. It's a nice, big sturdy box though!

If you have a lot of light weight items this is a deck box for you. The instructions were fairly easy to follow. (The detailed pictures helped). Pieces are plainly marked. The deck box went together in a few minutes (no missing parts-yea!) and could be done by 1 person except for a couple of steps. But then I am a petite person and the box length is the same as my height. All you need is a screw driver and gloves (protect from the metal pieces) but I used a small rubber mallet to help me lightly tap the panels and pieces together. No brute strength needed. For the money, I am disappointed in the density/strength of the panels. If it weren’t for the end and corner reinforcement pieces I would have returned it. Without them the box is flimsy. The bottom piece could really be strengthened. Instructions state it will hold 165 lbs (??) It states it is all weather, lockable but you can’t sit on it. It has a limited 2 year warranty.

Relatively easy to put together and decent materials. Pieces are embossed with part number which is very handy. Love that the door stays up with the pistons. We store cushions, cover, and extra chairs in ours. Reasonable price compared to others on the market.

Purchased this hoping to protect brand new outdoor furniture cushions from mice and other rodents. However, it apparently has enough gaps in the box at the bottom and it certainly has at the top under the lid for rodents to get in. Ruined brand new cushions. Not a box I would recommend.

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.

We bought 3 of these and have had them for 3 years now and they are the best we have owned. We have pool and patio cushions in them all winter long they have been dry and unharmed every year we take them out. We have 2 large ones and 1 medium one and we are buying another 230 gallon to hold pool chemicals.
