I bought 2 of these for the deck thinking that i would be able to store water sensitive items in them. Boy Was I wrong. Water leaks into both of them. I tried to seal it with a rubber caulking seal, but it still is leaking, so I have no idea how the water is getting in. Otherwise as a bench, these are great and hopefully do hold up to the elements here in Kansas.

I assembled it and had minor problems. One piece was cracked but it was at a pressure point and didn't really show so I kept assembling. The instructions are all in drawings (pretty much) and I'm a visual learner, so it worked for me. I like the look of it and the colors are what I like. I'm sure I'll have it filled with junk I don't need to keep in NO TIME!

This is an excellent bench and storage to use at the end of the driveway for deliveries to be put in or to simply sit and talk to a neighbor. I put a bright red tag on the front and the delivery people simply lift it up and put it in. fits 90%of our deliveries and then is hidden from the public.

The bench appears to be made out of solid materials and looked nice enough. It's relatively easy to assemble. However, the instructions have no words and I did not follow them closely enough. Long story short, I incorrectly assembled one part which prevented further assembly down the line and the bench broke in the process. I mostly blame myself, but the bench is now in a landfill somewhere....

The bench is nice but the front panel does not fit into the side panels well. It is hard to get the metal bar to go into the side. Everything is so tight in the front, the panel bows out some and the lid does not close proper. I had the same issue with both benches I bought. I ended up putting 2 screws in the front to get the lid to close better. The one front panel cracked and the Mfg. is suppose to be sending a replacement and I hope to be able to take it apart to replace it but we will see when it comes.

It wasn't as hard to put together as I thought it would be, except when I miss read instructions. I purchased the gray and black one and it really looks nice. Seems sturdy and storage is almost perfect for my needs. The only problem I'm having is water is leaking in because the seat/lid is warped. I have not yet tried to contact manufacturer.

Very nice looking, sturdy bench for a great price. We will use it at our cottage for storage but it’s also comfortable enough to sit on. Putting it together was pretty easy using the digital directions. (Better explanation than paper ones). Very happy with it!

Bought this about a month ago and picked up at the store but had to opt for assembling myself since otherwise wouldn't fit in vehicle. Directions were clear and easy to follow and was put together in about an hour. My only concern is that the hinge for the seat/storage area is just plastic snap in place and expect it will wear out quickly. Also given the flimsy hinge, the option of locking it is kind of pointless.

This storange bench seemed a bit flimsy until I finished assembling it. Once complete, I sat on it for awhile, enjoying to nice weather with my dog and cat. However, my bench arrived with a little damage and defect. Neither seems to affect the overall stability or appearance of the bench, but it is frustrating when you spend money on something like this.

When I opened the box I was scared but the instructions where pictures, so I decided to try. Not bad at all, you just have to make sute you have your right and left sides correctly. The numbers are hard to see. Overall nice bench. Seems sturdy. We are using it to store pool chemicals next to the pool and the kids will have a place to sit.
