The box was pretty easy to assemble; took less than an hr; one of the gas shocks for the lid hinge would not attach at one end, but they sent a new pair within a week of my call. The new one went on easily. Looks very nice and is sturdy enough for my 2 grown sons to sit on. It holds 8 chair cushions (24" sq) + 2 lumbar pillows and a bag of bird seed. I will contact Sam's though because I paid $139.98 < 2 weeks ago & now it is shown at $119.

Seems to be doing pretty good outside on my patio. It rained sideways last week and in had dried water spots on it the next morning. I opened it and it was dry inside. That's all I can ask for. Does its job. Not too difficult to put together. Download the BLT app and follow the instructions there. I'm happy with it.

I bought this because my wife and I patio furniture on both sides of our house, a large Deck and a large patio. Since we updated the cushions we have been putting them in large bags and bringing the into the garage. I have looked at several different storage bins but nothing impressed me. I have bought several Liftetime product over the years, large storage shed, and a yard cart, and I couldn't be happier with the quality and how they serve the purpose. So because a I am a satisfied customer I invested in the Lifetime storage box. I receive the storage box one morning, and immediatly put it together. very easy to follow directions, very quick installation and I could tell by the quallity and how it fit together I made a great choice. Now all the cushions for both patios are placed in the storage box and they are now now cut off from the element. I keep it outside on the deck because it looks good andI know its going to keep everything dry. Two days after placing the box on the deck we had high winds and a lot of rain, so it got the toughest test right away, and it kept everything dry, not one drop. We could not be happier.

This is so utilitarian for many storage items. We bought it to store kindling on our front porch. It keeps the porch looking tidy and will keep the wood dry. The instructions were easy to understand and all of the parts were provided. Very pleased with this purchase.

Bought this product about two years ago. Holding up pretty well except for the gas springs. The pieces that connect the gas springs to the box and lid are made from plastic. Over time the force of the kid opening causes the gas spring to strip the threads in the connects causing them to fall out. The lid becomes non-operative. The two connectors at each end of the gas springs need to be made with metal.

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.

Some assembly is required but it is totally worth it. This is a high quality box. A drill is required but I don't recommend using a power driver unless it has a setting to reduce torque. The box is made of plastic so with enough force the screw can strip the plastic. The lid is strengthened with metal pieces for the locking mechanism and installation of struts. This makes for a very good product. Ours has not leaked after enduring a couple heavy rains.

I purchased this after seeing the “jumbo” size at my local Sam’s Club. I was looking for a new tack box to put outside my horse’s stall. Needed something bigger, but not so long that it would cover up part of his door or the stall next to his (this the jumbo was way too long). This box is PERFECT! I love that it’s tall - the amount of stuff it holds is awesome. My boyfriend built me some shelving and dividers that I’ve put in it for organization. I also LOVE the way it looks. The brown wood-like finish fits in perfectly at the barn, but at literally 1/10th the cost of a real wooden trunk - plus the upkeep with a plastic one like this is so much easier. The wood-like finish doesn’t look cheap at all - it looked exactly like it does in the photos. The easy open lid is also great because I don’t have to lean the lid back on his stall door when it’s slid open, which causes issue when I am opening and closing it when a tack trunk lid is leaning on it. All of my friends at the barn have commented how much they love my new “tack trunk” and are asking where I got it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND - multi-purpose, and beautiful to look at. Very classy.

I just received and assembled this unit. It looks good and seems to be exactly what it is supposed to be. So I should give it 5 stars but I cannot. 8 of the large screws used to mount metal pieces to the plastic box could not be used because the holes in the flat metal pieces are too small (or the screws are too large, you decide). If someone at Lifetime is reading this review they are the 4 DRF screws needed to mount the hinge to the side of the box and the 4 DRG screws used to mount the metal stiffener across the front of the box, I had to find my own smaller flat head, coarse thread screws. to complete the job. That was a time consuming annoyance but the real problem is I am worried that the smaller screws will not last, I fear I will be forced to partially disassemble the box, drill out the 8 holes and hope the original screws "bite" in the smaller holes. I do not understand how something like this happens. Doesn't anyone pull a unit off the assembly line once in a while and try assembling it? The 3 other sizes of self tapping screws and nuts and bolts are in the same blister pack and they worked fine. So it seems unlikely to be a "one off" error. For mow it is built and in use. We will see if it lasts.

Package arrived in a timely manner. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. However, needed tools were not exactly correct, I had to purchase additional tools to assemble this. Screws/bolts were metric, not standard. Once assembled, it is very sturdy. Very large capacity. Glad that it is a Lifetime brand. Good quality.
