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.

I love this box. I can fit four large seat cushions, four back cushions and multiple throw pillows with room to spare! This will make me cushions last so much longer since they're not being exposed to the elements. My only comment is that the "white" box is not really white.

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.

Purchased to store pool chemicals and pool toys. Was very easy to assemble. Overall, it seems pretty sturdy. I like the two hinge pistons on the lid so that it's easy to open and close. Can't beat the price for a deck box this size. My only concern is that there are voids/gaps in between the lid and base, which means mice or snakes could get inside. If that happens, I will have to find a different deck box!

I have been disappointed in some keter garage storage units we bought several years ago! We saw these deck boxes at SAMS and decided to take a chance on the quality. Got the boxes home and they were very easy to assemble no cracks, splits, or wrapped pieces. The boxes are very large and all our patio furniture cushions fit in two boxes. They are very sturdy and water tight.

Bought one for my daughter in November. She loved it! Bought her a second one in December. After they had the box mostly assembled, they noticed several of the panels are cracked. No problem, Sam's takes returns and MANDATES you return the product. My daughter had to build a GIANT BOX out of multiple other cardboard boxes to return the giant deck box. She is several months pregnant with other young children and had to take the children's car seats and vehicle seats out of her van so she can haul this box to Fed Ex. But it's oversized. So now multiple calls to Sam's to try and figure out how we can ship this broken deck box back to Sam's Club who insists on getting the product back before they will issue a refund. When you call customer service, you get people from other countries. I understand policies because some consumers take advantage of retailers, but this is BEYOND RIDICULOUS! CHECK ALL PANELS CAREFULLY before building your deck box! I intended this to be a nice Christmas gift, not a nightmare for my loved ones!

Box is good size and a good value. However the screws that hold the box together are short and thread into plastic, which pull out easily. The latch for the lid uses the same screws and pulled out during a high wind, which tore the lid off (also held into place with short screws) and we lost 3 of our patio furniture cushions. Might be OK for a sheltered area, but not out in the open.

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.

Shopper

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.
