Slide & lock features make lifetime 116 storage bench super easy to put together. If your looking to not move around and storing light weight like blankets, don't even need to bother with the hardware. The lid & floor planks are sturdy, but heavy items can bow the long front and back sides if placed improperly. Manual states bench is not water proof, so don't throw it in a pool. :) The color is more accurate on the lifetime website.2 boxes fit beautifully in an L shape on a standard 5'x8' with railing / half of patio.

Just received my deck box and followed easy to read instructions. Last item was to install the second gas shock which I found had a manufactures defect. Called the 1-800 number and the tech support gentlemen Diante quickly and professionally helped get a replacement part ordered.

This box is extremely sturdy and well made. After 2 years of South FL humidity, the pistons rusted. I contacted the company with photo evidence and they sent replacement parts very quickly. Overall, very pleased with the deck box and Lifetime customer service!

When I bought this storage deck box for "OUTSIDE" use (as labeled) I expected the materials and hardware to be sustainable for outside conditions. Little did I know that under a years time while under a covered patio that my outside storage deck box has rusted hardware. The best that Lifetime could do is send replacement hardware for their own hardware that was apparently not fit for outdoor conditions. The fun awaits as I get to disassemble the box only to put on hardware that may or may not be sustainable over time. Come on Lifetime...live up to your name and invest better in your customers and your parts. Your name (brand) definitely doesn't speak to your products.

Purchased through Costco. Takes a bit longer to build that I initially thought, but the result is very solid construction. There was a piece that did not fit properly upon construction, however, customer service at Lifetime was very helpful and took care of the issue with one call.

I have only had this for a few weeks so I can't say how it will hold up yet but it seems sturdy. It was somewhat easy to put together although the list of tools in the instructions was a little off. It has stayed dry inside. So far, I'm happy with this product.

Sturdy well sized box. This was easier to assemble than I thought it would be. The finished product has ample storage space. The lid closes easily and is secure. I like the arms on the lid that prevent it from slamming shut. It fits easily on my deck. The instructions were somewhat hard to follow. I downloaded the BILT app which made the assembly relatively simple. The price is good for this product.

116 gallon deck box is exactly what I needed to store deck supplies. However, there is a problem that has supposedly been resolved (USO-14217889). Hunter placed the order on 7/28/2020. To date I have not received the gas cylinders. Please advise the method of transportation for these.

This box exceeds our expectations - just what we needed for tools and garden chairs when we down-sized from a big home with garage to an apartment. Assembly instructions are meticulous and easy to follow and the result is attractive and functional and it takes more than I had hoped to fit in (I would illustrate that with a photograph, if it were not pouring with rain!). One minor part was a bit slack and customer service in USA replaced that immediately, although I had purchased the box from a supplier in the UK. Impressive all round.

We've had our Outdoor Storage Deck Box for nearly two years now. It's used to store cushions for our outdoor furniture. Our cushions continue to look brand new when stored in the deck box. The positive locking top keeps items dry in the winter and the two wall construction keeps the inside temperature constant during the hot summers. The exterior finish of the box keeps it looking brand new as well. Will be buying another to keep pool toys,towels, and accessories safe during the off season. Would not hesitate to recommend this Deck Box!
