Instructions looked pretty basic...easy to follow pictures. Until the parts didn't fit together! Simple plug should go into hole and twist to lock. First plug, no problem. Second plug, an hour wasted trying to make it fit into hole that was not cut out properly. Then all was good until trying to attach back rest onto bench. No amount of force would get it into position. Called Keter, because it looked to be defective. Was told I could return deckbox to store...or go online and request new part. The deckbox bench was just what I wanted...at least in the picture. Finished product was not. May end up returning...if I can get access to a truck!

Wife bought this to store some pool supplies. Everything was going together with minor difficulty until we reached assembling the sides of the box. The procedure calls for snapping the sides into the partially assembled box. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get the two plastic bonds to match in the holes. The holes were off and would not line up. We managed to get one in after an hour of frustration. The last one refused to go in. It took another hour and half to finally get it in the hole. This bench is about as cheap as they come. Do not buy this crap!! Two stars is very generous because it does look on.

It took a bit to putc together. Didn't realize it was plastic.

it was broken due to wind. Terrible quality

Some parts did not fit together as instructed and required minor modification. Takes patience and 2 people to assemble. Looks great and functions well after assembled.

Not one bit sorry we bought this. There's waterproof storage and the seat is reasonably comfortable. You can't just throw it together, but the directions were very clear and easy to follow. Just don't try to rush through it.

I purchase this and put in together and found a crack arm so I tried the internet first many times and never could get thru. loading please wait it said so then I called them only to hear the amount of trouble I would have to go thru paperwork picture's and on. the next time I will just return it

Was apprehensive about difficult assembly and broken pieces mentioned in other reviews but no pieces were missing and assembly was fine when instructions are followed. Package leaves much to be desired as carton was a mess and even had foot prints on it. Luckily it was all there and it turned out to be sturdy.

As some of the other reviewers mentioned, there was a missing part. Since were are mainly using it for storage, we decided to put it together without the part, leaving the back part a bit flimsy. Although the directions are confusing, all parts are clearly marked and you can use common sense to put them together. Some don't quite fit right and we needed to use full body weight to get them to snap together. Overall, it meets its purpose and looks decent.

I bought the large Keter Patio Storage bench about a month ago. It was put together very carefully in the way the instructions were given. It has been in the open area on the patio since it was assembled and it is working perfectly for what it was meant for. We have had number really heavy storms in the past four weeks and this storage bench has not leaked one drop. I am 100% percent satisfied with the product. Even better than I expected it to be!! I am searching for another (smaller) Keter storage box now.
