[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It turned out being a sturdy piece, but I didn't think that at first. I definitely wouldn't pay full price for it because of the “unfinished” (see last picture) parts you have to cut off and they didn't send enough screws, but luckily we have some. It has a latch on the seat/lid that you can add a lock if there was something in it you didn't want anyone to get into. I think it will look nice around a pool.

We’ve been looking for a while to replace older worn out storage containers in our yard to pull a look together and luckily came across this manufacturer. Great look, size and color plus easy to put together. Has a 2 year warranty and we’re in Nevada so I’ll be checking in if it tolerates the sun well. So far so good. Best purchase ever.

I was fortunate enough to save a few bucks by buying it at Sam's auctions. I needed somewhere to store some of my gardening equipment. It's not waterproof, so store items you don't mind if they get a little wet in driving rain. Otherwise it stays dry in there. $100+tax, I might think twice about getting it.

I seen this at Sam's Club and before I could even purchase one somebody bought the last one. So I got on the website bought it and had it at my house within the week. Very easy to assemble the only tool that you need is a Phillips head screwdriver. I seen that people gave it a back review but I think that's just because they did assemble it properly I give it 5 stars.

Assembly went well by following directions. Sturdy enough to accomodate two 200 lb. adults. Plenty of storage under seat for cushions, furniture covers, tools, etc. with ability to lock. Not sure if material is resin or plastic, but it doesn't matter as it meets my needs.

Its water proof- not too taxing to assemble- and has a nice roomy storage area. Can’t beat it for money spent. This one replaced one I bought about 7-8 years ago. A tree fell on it during a storm. I couldn’t find a better replacement for price. Does exactly what I need. A bench and storage.

Package arrived on time -- which was great. However, upon opening the box -- we discovered there were no installation instructions. Had to look up via Google and the first set I found were not in English and the instruction booklet was in A4 format so when you printed it was far too small to read even if it had been in English. Continued searching and ultimately did find the instructions in English -- however, format was still A4 so it took a while to reformat to print in a readable form. Therefore, the process was significantly more difficult than it should have been. The overall product is very nice but the process should have been much simpler.

I wanted someplace to store my garden decor, and some extra seating if necessary. This works for that. It seems sturdy and well made, although the assembly instructions left much to be desired, but there are vids on youtube that can help you with assembling. I am not wild about the color; it'd have been perfect for me if it came in grey.

The bench is almost perfect. The back could have been designed a little different. I ordered it online. Pretty easy to assemble. There were only two minor issues. The middle of the top edge of the back was slightly bulging. Because of that it wouldn’t stay snapped in place. I just took some gorilla tape to hold it down. Also I only got 16 screws vice 17. It wasn’t worth calling the customer service. The bench is more than functional for me.

This bench holds all the chemicals necessary for my hot tub. It looks much nicer than bottles all over the patio. Be prepared to spend about three hours in assembly. If you were to do a second one it would take about 30 minutes. The instructions are difficult to comprehend.
