I love this box and the 165 gallon box made by Keter. However, the hinge mechanism on our 230 gallon box we purchased on 7/27/21 didn’t open and close smoothly (unlike the 165 gallon box), which has caused the plastic top to crack on both sides. It is still useable (for now), but the top will have to be replaced at some point in the future.

Box is good size and a good value. However the screws that hold the box together are short and thread into plastic, which pull out easily. The latch for the lid uses the same screws and pulled out during a high wind, which tore the lid off (also held into place with short screws) and we lost 3 of our patio furniture cushions. Might be OK for a sheltered area, but not out in the open.

I ordered this online and picked up at my favorite Sam's location. The reason I purchased was to convert it into a dog house. The instructions aren't great. You have to figure it out like a puzzle. Once assembled, it's pretty sturdy. My husband cut out an opening on one side. We are happy with our purchase and so are the dogs. They didn't waste any time getting inside to get out of the cold, rainy weather.

Bought one for my daughter in November. She loved it! Bought her a second one in December. After they had the box mostly assembled, they noticed several of the panels are cracked. No problem, Sam's takes returns and MANDATES you return the product. My daughter had to build a GIANT BOX out of multiple other cardboard boxes to return the giant deck box. She is several months pregnant with other young children and had to take the children's car seats and vehicle seats out of her van so she can haul this box to Fed Ex. But it's oversized. So now multiple calls to Sam's to try and figure out how we can ship this broken deck box back to Sam's Club who insists on getting the product back before they will issue a refund. When you call customer service, you get people from other countries. I understand policies because some consumers take advantage of retailers, but this is BEYOND RIDICULOUS! CHECK ALL PANELS CAREFULLY before building your deck box! I intended this to be a nice Christmas gift, not a nightmare for my loved ones!

I love this box. I can fit four large seat cushions, four back cushions and multiple throw pillows with room to spare! This will make me cushions last so much longer since they're not being exposed to the elements. My only comment is that the "white" box is not really white.

The first question everyone asks is, how sturdy is it? If you want something that feels like it was built with 2x4s and 3/4 inch plywood, you will be disappointed. If what you want is something that has rigid sides and can be drug across the deck, I expect you will be satisfied for many years. I just assembled mine and could not be happier, especially for the price. The engineering is good, the instructions and labels are great, and the packing was secure. Mine will be on the deck, but I could see this box being used by the pool or even on a large pontoon boat. The only caution I would offer is to pick it up in the store rather than have it shipped. It is not heavy, but is large. Based upon the condition of some of the boxes in the store, I can see that this does not always ship well.

This deck box is well engineered, easy to assemble, and results in massive/sturdy storage. Only issue was a missing lid end cap (LM) -- only 3 of the 4 were in the sealed bag. Other than that, Keter should be commended for a job well done. Although the color is brown, it seems closer to black when out in the sun.

Bought two of these for storage. They ended up bigger than I thought (Even knowing the size and measurements). This ended up in a different area then I wanted but I am not upset. Plenty of space for pool toys, Folding chairs, and many other things. Setup was pretty easy. Just make sure you align the right holes and look at the pics close. These are very easy to build. Once you do one you can have it built (If you use a drill for screws set on a low break point) you can build this in ten minutes. First build took me 15 with my wife handing me parts. Word of advice: Make sure one side either the left or right is slightly higher to allow water to flow off the side. Not a big problem but helps with pools of water. So when you level the ground, have the side be higher than the other unlike with most where you angle the back to allow run off to happen easier.

We put it together after dinner. Very easy to assemble - just follow the pictures. I like that the letters coordinating the pieces are actually stamped into the pieces - no stickers to come off and lose or forget to take off. The deck box is quite large - a little bigger than we expected, but it is already almost full! We have stored the cushions for the outdoor furniture, the dog's toys and water bowl, a small step stool, broom and more! Very pleased with the quality.

It was actually very easy to assemble with following directions step by step. Love the locking assembly instead of tons of screws. we had a number of extra screws and they were quality screws. Seems tough and strong . We are impressed and happy with it Quite large and lid jacks work great. Considering ordering another if l can figure if. I need it.
