Actually this review is for 165 gal, but could not Sam's site to accept it. 1. Follow directions to the t. Don't try to short cut or "better way" it. If where there is a lot of water, place on bricks or wood and remember not just on corners! If you top "warps" place a small block of wood in middle of top between to and front with weight on ends... should straighten out (plus, it is not a $1000 box, that is at West Marine. I may have to pick up another one... I think these can be the basis of a number of things...

Great deck box and very spacious. It is extremely lightweight, however. The wind picked ours up and tossed it across our yard and halfway into a field. Things inside were lost or broken and the box was completely shattered. If you’re looking for storage in a beautiful and clean box - this is it. But if you need something more hardy you might want to look elsewhere. I would only recommend this if it is completely anchored down and impossible to blow away.

We have two large (230 gallon) and one of the smaller (165 gallon) containers, an are lookin to purchase an additional 230 gallon container. We have had them for a couple of years, and, to this point they've served their purpose for us. All three containers are stored outside & have been durable & remained completely functional. The assembly was easy.

Arrived with some pieces broken from product. They didn't interfere with the functioning of the product, but they were broken off on arrival. Also, one important screw missing from the packaging. Expect a product that is not broken and without missing pieces. Decent for the money, but as noted above. Will see if it holds its value.

This is such a great find!! We had to assemble and when we opened the box I thought “oh no” but it was actually easy to put together. It is very large and holds all of our pool stuff easily. It was less expensive and larger than every other storage container we looked at.

we bought this item before we moved from Georgia to Maine a few yrs ago and never opened it today we unboxed it and found no instructions and missing a few pieces so i do like the size of the box it seams sturdy enough for the things we need to store but unhappy with the missing corner pieces and latch assembly not sure where they went but not in the box..

No directions. How hard is it to add the directions or a link, something???

Nice, sturdy when all together. It will hold a Lot of your items easily.

missing a hinge

No instructions on how to build it, and a couple parts are deformed.
