I have looked at these for over a year, finally decided to buy two. So glad I did! They hold a decent volume, can seat someone up to 286 pounds, and look nice as end tables for my front porch. I have tennis elbow and carpal tunnel and I easily assembled each unit alone in under 5 minutes. I can see myself buying one or two more when we remodel our back deck. They aren't heirloom furniture, but for the price, they are perfect for storage and extra seating if needed.

This is a very nice storage box BUT the instructions are awful! It's very hard to take apart if you don't put it together correctly! Which I did not! It about killed my 10yo grandsons hands and mine trying to get it apart after we mistakenly put the 4 sides together and couldn't get the bottom in! You have to put the bottom inside the 2 end pieces with handles up first, then the front/back pieces and then click it all together and then add the top on. We finally got it all together and it's very nice but wish the instructions were more clear! It shouldn't have been as difficult as it was to assemble! That's why only 3 stars! It's really a 5 star box, if it had better assembly instructions and seems very sturdy and nice quality!

Material is plastic but sturdy. All the pieces snap together easily. It's definitely a one person job putting together. Interior storage can handle about 44 lbs. The exterior lid and structure can handle weight of about 286 lbs. So it can be a good single person seat or a good seat for a couple of toddlers. The lid is lockable with a small padlock (sold separately, of course). Directions are easy to follow. Hinges are plastic and snap in place. Just put two together in about 15 minutes. Can't speak to durability, but I'm really kind of glad I didn't put too much value on the negative comments. The box is weather resistant, not weatherproof, or waterproof. So store items accordingly. I got lucky and got them on sale, so yea me.

This box was a great value since hose tee boxes can cost more than double and are built cheaply. I returned a more expensive reel to Home Depot and bought this. Assembly was as easy as anything I’ve put together, no tools and no screws or bolts. I cut a small hole in the back to slide my hose in and it’s way better than a reel that doesn’t work most of the time. After a 100ft hose I still have room for the sprinkler and watering can. Doubles as an extra seat too! Couldn’t be more pleased!

I bought and had difficulty trying to put together as it shows arrows indicating it slides together when, in actuality, it must be fitted (difficult to see where it needs to fit together which is why it took 2 of us: one to hold and one to seat it and snap in place). Then, we got to the lid and the two hinge covers are missing. Called the store (as when I purchased they were down to one and I wanted more and said I would take the one and the display but told me they had 64 due in so wouldn't be selling the display and to check back) and asked if I could come in and get a hinge from one they have there and they said they were out of stock and did not know when there would be any in. I asked about the display and found out it was sold. So much for me picking up the other eight. Not good business practice and I still need the hinges. Hopefully, I'll get some help and can improve my review. Although I do not understand why Sam's Club does not have someone to answer questions submitted rather than have other customers do so.

It felt sturdy at first, but it kept getting blown over by the wind. Eventually the plastic "hinge" holding the lid on broke. I was disappointed it didn't even last one season! I've had the 230 gallon size for three years now and my children have been in and out of it and its still holding up great.

Love it!

Bought two, both lids cracked within days. The lid design is a huge FAIL

East to assemble. Missing Parts. Called several times to replace two hinge covers. Never buy anything from them again

Wish everything was as easy as this to assemble...took all of 3 minutes...this is an excellent way to store your water hoses..
