purchased one storage bench. It was difficult to assemble. Many of the connecting parts were misshaped and had to be forcefully put together. After I put it next to my shed door I thought it looked cute and decided I would pick up another for the other side of the door. That night it rained and the box held a few inches of water. I had to drill holes in the bottom for drainage. After a few days in the sun the seat warped and wont close correctly. Glad I didn't get back to get another one. Even though it was a good price it's not worth it. Will not purchase Keter products again.

DAMAGE

We bought this storage bench last May, and didn't put it together for a couple months. It has been in our back yard, sheltered from much of the elements, and seemed like the perfect outdoor storage/seating option. However, this spring we noticed the seat was sitting at an odd angle, and when we opened it up, one side of the base was broken and the entire thing was full of water from recent rains!! It didn't even make it a year, so we are very disappointed in this product. (we have two of the large regular Keter storage boxes - 96 gallon, and they are still holding up well!)

We picked this for storage and seating at pool. Excellent bench but, instructions are just pictures and the only word used is "click". All parts are marked with letters and there are about 20 Phillips head screws. About halfway through the assembly things went bad. After trying to logically and forcefully try to get the side arm panels on, I was stumped! Decided to disassemble it and start over. Pay particular attention to placement of the 2 steel rails. 2nd try and found I had one turned wrong way. Success! Electric screwdriver is a big help. Bench is very sturdy and comfortable for 2 adults with room for a child in between. Plan on purchasing more. Again, take your time and study the pictures. Also, the right side is the side when you are looking at it from the front, not when seated.

This is, without a doubt, the worst product I have ever assembled or purchased. The directions are only images so it is up to you to get the correct angle. Parts would not fit together, so one section I had to break a piece of to get the metal rail to fit, and the back rest broke in 2 places as I was trying to push it into place. It holds things for storage but I don't even trust sitting on the bench, since I am a big guy.

Love this bench!! It's beautiful and looks great in person. It's plenty big for two people to sit. I love the curved arm rests. It's really sturdy (which I was kind of surprised by after putting together). The storage area is plenty big for some outdoor stuff, pillows, etc. that I don't want to get hit with weather 24/7. Putting together was quite a chore - some of the plastic was tough to piece together, but all in all, it was so worth it. Just to note - it is more of a gray/brown so would go well with both color schemes!

I own two Keter products. This was the third item I’ve purchased. The previous two were easy to assemble; nevertheless, this purchase was a disappointment. Assembly began smoothly, but I quickly noticed I was missing parts. When I looked closer and cross referenced the manual, I counted 13 missing parts. Some of which should have two identical pieces. If you take that into account, the amount of missing parts is over 20. Disappointing, especially when this was intended as a gift for a family member.

Keter storage

This bench...I don't know where to begin with this bench. Once I opened it and pieces were already broken off of it, I was a bit weary. Then while building it and realizing that about a third of the instructions are "Click click click" I suspected that I would be right on how bad this bench is. Almost nothing "click click clicked" together correctly, the lock couldn't be put in as it immediately broke off, and I'm pretty sure at one point it had me screwing in screws that literally did NOTHING for the structure, stability...really anything. I'm pretty positive this project took about ten years off of my life. Save yourself time, money, and hassle. Don't buy this.

We will be returning this item. The pieces wouldn’t go together. Junk...
