This bench took me at least two people to build. It would have taken us an hour had it not been for a mistake we made (we overlooked a step), but the instructions are clear and simple. This is not material that you can easily make a mistake with and go back and adjust so I would caution buyers to build when they are focused and attentive to detail IF you are not accustomed to DIY projects. The bench's color is true to the picture. The quality is not excellent, but its definitely what I would consider average to above average for my current needs. We have an olive tree that hits our small front porch heavily with leaves and so we needed a material that could withstand the harsh rays of the FL sun (even under shade) and the black stains that come from the olive tree's falling leaves. This material does a great job holding up to these elements and gives us storage space for our small porch to hide outdoor material we don't want lying around outside unorganized. And it also has a lock to keep everything secure.

We saw this bench in Sams near us but we had the car and no room to haul it home. We ordered it on line and it took forever to arrive, as there was an issue on the website. The bench kit we received is not the same on from the store. It was part way put together before we realized it.

Pieces were broken and don't secure. No instructions included. Absolute waste of my money. I bought a brown one from Amazon a few years ago that I was trying to replace because my drunken friend put a huge crack in the seat, and it was perfect. Tried this brand because I wanted to use Walmarts Affirm for finance, what a waste of money. I am going to have to rebuy it from Amazon (same one as last time) because I can't even put this one together. I bought the Keter Eden 70 Gallon Storage Bench Deck Box from Amazon with absolutely 0 issues, so I recommend that one instead. That is also the one I have to now go buy.

Nice bench with storage. Easy to assemble. Went to the Sams store in Corpus Christi and was told they didn't have any put together, come back some other day. Not friendly at all. Got online and had it delivered. Had it put together within 30 minutes.

I purchased this to use on our pontoon boat at the lake. It is just the right size and will hold cushions and life jackets easily. I didn't give it 5 stars only because the darn thing is very frustrating to assemble..Previous reviewers said to allow 3-1/2 hours to put the first one together..they weren't just tootin. It took just over 3 hours for my husband and I BOTH trying to decipher the instructions and find where the parts clicked together. I will say that the finished bench looks very nice and we were proud of ourselves for mastering the assembly process with our marriage still intact.

Holds a ton of stuff! Just bought a house with pool and needed to store paddle board, puppy life jackets, balls, floater barbells, small cooler for drinks, filtered water jug, large citronella candle & even cushion (when it rains)...it all fits with even a little room to spare! Couldn’t be happier! I even snapped/screwed it together all by myself in about 30-45 min...was a liiiiitle tired at the end, but worth it :) bought a month ago, and have had it outside in hard rain 8-10 days and seems to keep it out of bin fairly well ... not airtight, but good enough not to fill w/water or get musty.

I was a little disheartened that the instructions were in pictures only (no text), but it was actually very easy to put together. The pics were very helpful! Also, this is a perfect solution for storing my garden boots, shoes, etc. on my back porch. I wanted something stylish, yet well-made. This is perfect!

Was fairly easy to put together although it was only based on photo's. Seems pretty sturdy. Using it on our deck for extra storage and seating. Hope it doesn't fade with the sun. Also hope that it is water resistant as I would like to store some outdoor pillows. Looks nice when it is assembled.

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.

Ordered this for a small space on my patio, to store cushions and also for additional seating. I love it and it serves both purposes very well! It does require assembly which was easier for the man in my life than for me; took about 20 min. To assemble
