Step 1.4 says “insert tabs at the bottom of the panel into the slots in the floor panel. You should hear the tabs snap into place.” This was impossible. No matter how hard I pushed, the tabs would not engage. After over an hour of trying progressively more aggressive techniques, I finally gave up, put the piece of junk back in its box and returned it. Thanks for wasting my Saturday.

I bought this for outdoor storage of patio cushions and a few gardening supplies. My son assembled it for me today without a hiccup. Took him a little under an hour. He found the directions to be clear and all the parts and pieces were there. He was impressed with how well made it seemed and said I had made a good purchase. It holds 4 chair cushions, 2 decorator pillows and my gardening supplies with room to spare! I think it will hold my beach chair, too!

just like the other reviews, the assembly was ridiculous. Needed to drill my own holes, walls don't line up. After 4 hour assembly, the lid does not shut properly. I'm sure lifetime will say, "I'm sorry you had difficulty, send pictures." In the end, its just a piece of crap product.

This deck box is made of tough materials; is of excellent quality, and it looks great on my outdoor deck. It also required a solid five hours to assemble and required many tools, to include a power drill. But the hard work was worth it because I know personally how strong this box is. It was engineered well, but there are some typos and missing information in the instructions. I believe that the amount of work needed to assemble the box allowed for stronger materials at a good price, so it was worth the effort. I am very pleased.

Just the right size for the deck. Purchased at lumber yard for great price. Followed the directions and went together in less than 2 hours and wasn't in a hurry. Quality is great. Used drill to start all fasterns then finished with hand tools as to not over tighten anything. All parts fit together without issue. Again follow the direction and all should go well. GREAT PRODUCT...

Two stars deducted: one for poor instructions and one for extremely poor customer support. You may discover that the four screws attaching the metal support bar require a 10 mm metric socket. You may find that you will need an impact driver for those screws. If you contact customer support you may find the person who responds can’t tell you the size of the screws. Lifetime does not recommend using an impact driver, but appears to use one in their video and admits so, and good luck assembling the box without one. The box itself is nice except as a short person I find it difficult to reach the lid to close it. A minor detail. I do NOT recommend it. I noticed there is no way to uncheck that in making this review.

We live on an acre and we have lots of garden hoses to reach all parts of the yard. Every fall when we drain out the water and roll our hoses we always have the dilemma of where to store them. Last year they were taking up valuable space in my garage, but this year they will be stored in this storage box.

I bought this storage box thinking it would be perfect for our deck....as my husband was putting it together he realized that 3 hinges were missing. So when I called the company to get the missing parts they stated that the parts were backordered and I wouldn't receive them for 2 MONTHS! Obviously they sold this product knowing the parts were missing. Very upset customer. I do like the look of the storage box but wanted to use it now not in 2 months.

The storage box arrived in a flat cardboard carton. The instructions were easy to follow and it only took my husband and me a couple of hours to totally put it together. It looks GREAT!!! It provides wonderful storage and is easy to get in and out of!!!

It looks really sturdy and it’s a great size. It does make a really loud sound when closing and wears trying to figure out what’s. It quite right. There are several screws that screws into spots that didn’t have predrilled holes and even ended up sticking out oddly. Those instructions shud also have explained and spelled that out when they only said, “don’t tighten fully,” it would have made a huge difference. The cover was slightly damaged but we assembled it anyway and hope to get a lot of good use from it., regardless. I don’t think itye time and effort to replace it would have been worth the effort.
