We bought two to use on the deck for our above ground pool. We are very pleased with them. They will hold several big noodles- they just bend on the end. I have a little clasp to hold the lid down. We also tied them down since we live on a farm in the panhandle of Texas. We lost the deck box to a 67 mph wind, even though a big heavy cement block was on it. The wind has blown into the 40's with these benches and they have done fine. The storage in them is great, but the best thing is how comfortable they are. People love sitting on them.

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.

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.

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.

I really like the appearance, weight, and size of this bench. I have not been able to store anything in it though because my children like to lay in the there with a fan and watch iPad. I'm sure is will get used by me some day but for now they will enjoy it.

VERY hard to put together - the instructions aren't worth two cents. Finally got it together - a few things off kilter but is fine. Love the looks of it. Haven't had it over winter, so we'll see if it keeps things dry. We have two other Keter benches and they are fabulous and keep things dry all winter.

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.

Finally got this put together after blundering thru the directions for assembly. Not as sturdy as anticipated or shown, but it matches our large Keter storage box. Servicable, but as Seniors this was a bit difficult to put together. Just realize it's plastic...resin-schmedgin HaHa! Won't trust it for extra patio seating...just more storage...

I love this bench! It’s sturdy and supports a lot of weight. However, it’s definitely a two person build, it was missing a set of bolts needed to build, and sams club altered the delivery date multiple times with no notice... just I’d wonder where it was and tracked it and see the date had changed. That was very frustrating and poor customer service to say the least. Overall I recommend this bench, but be prepared for a few hiccups at the beginning.
