I bought two of these because it was a great buy. Unfortunately, turns out, not worth the purchase. First, parts were missing. I called Keter's customer service number, it took two requests and 3 weeks to get part. We were excited to finally put them outside. Looks great, thus 2 stars. However, seat cushions stored inside were wet after rain, UGH! Need to return them, not worth taking a chance of possible mildew growth on my cushions.

My only complaint about this bench is that it is not water-tight (I knew this when purchased). I opened it yesterday to find 2 inches of rain water inside. My husband will drill a few holes in the bottom and that should take care of it. Otherwise, this was easy to put together and the instructions were easy to understand. My husband put it together by himself.

A little hard to assemble, not all the parts fit as well as they should. The directions are not as clear as they should be for some of the steps. Still cant get the arm rest 100% snapped into place, keeps popping up, but afraid to use too much pressure as it may damage the piece. It seems to be fairly watertight. Kept under a two foot overhand on the deck but we have had a few heavy rains and wind. I did put the chair pads in plastic bags inside the seat but there was no water on the bags and the inside bottom was dry. We use a snap hook to keep the lid down, strongly suggest using something to keep the lid from flying up in the wind.

Nice optional seating for our patio and under seat storage for our bird feed. Solid and sturdy. Assembly could have been simplified at the factory. Bench wasn't difficult to put together, but there was so much that could have been done in-factory to make things easier, without affecting shipping design. Sam's price was much better than other online retailers, but no one likes the increased cost of shipping, especially when this item could very easily be picked up at the local store. Over all, satisfied with purchase.

Bench was easy to setup took about 20-30 minutes. Lightweight however it holds two people that love food too much very well without sagging or any damage. Storage is a plus we keep our lawn tractor, 100' of hose and BBQ instruments in the box. Haven't tested the winter months in Montana but right now we are very happy with the product.

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.

Bought this so I could have a comfortable seat when my grandkids are in the backyard playing. Easy to assemble but would recommend a flat surface and two people. Took about 30 min to complete assembly and no left over parts. This bench comes with a hasp that you can lock up the items but I removed it since anything stored is easily replaced. Although it might help out during high winds to be able to secure it.

The plastic is cheap, but just thick enough to be duable enough bench. It wasn't cut exactly the way it was supposed to, so we had to use a knife to cut some places during assembly. Not really the safest way to go but easier than taking it back. We assembled it in 40 degree weather which I don't reccomend because the plastic doesn't bend as well. Because of the less than desirable quality of plastic and the flawed cut by the machine it broke in several places during assembly but we were able to make it work anyway. All in all, I guess I can say you get what you pay for. If you want a hassle free assembly, spend more money on a higher quality storage bench.

Easy to assemble, built solid & engineered with re-inforced panels & supports. So far it's been rain proof. We'll have to see if it holds up to -35 below & blowing snow. My guess is that snow finds its way into the smallest cracks! We love the look of the bench & really like the extra storage space!

Easy to build with just one person. I needed something for my kids toys that seem to gravitate to the front lawn. Now there is no excuse not to put away things. If using for out door cushions measure them first. Will hold small to medium ones, but large will be tight.
