I absolutely love this deck box! I was able to fit my 14' x 14' Easy Up canopy and frame, horseshoes, washer board game, lawn darts, chair cushions and chair and grill covers all in this box. It's awesome!

the front and back panel tabs do not align with the bottom tab slots. the unit cannot be built. it must be trashed or returned. like a good citizen I recycled the corroguted which will make return a problem.

This was a great purchase for us to get some things out of the garage so maybe we can finally get a car in! The hardest part of putting this together was popping out the inserts on the bottom panel and they come out pretty easy. After that it was a "snap" to put together. The screws for the top hinges got hidden in the box and we used other ones but found them when we took the box apart for recycle. We were amazed at how big the box was and how much it holds. We don't want an ugly shed and this fit the bill perfectly and looks great on the deck!

I have historically been a real fan of Rubbermaid and their products. The quality and sealability of the products I really appreciated. I bought this box for my dad's birthday and was immediately disappointed. The sides don't seal together, nor does the base. They just sit in place together and it is not strong or ridged. Because of this the lid won't sit flush, thus allowing water and bugs into the bin. Even when lid is held down the lid seems warped. I am quite disappointed that Rubbermaid would put their name on an inferior product.

We have own the XL version deck box for 7 years. We were so pleased with the rubbermaid deck box product when we needed another this spring we bought the large size one shown here. Takes a bit of force to pop all the sides into the grooves. Never had it fall apart. The older box did have the lid straps break over last summer and this spring.

It was very easy to put together. A very sturdy product. I bought it with the intention of storing tires as I have no garage and only a small shed. If the box is just a little bigger (27 inches tall and deep), I will be able to store 2 sets of tires. Alas, I can only store one set of 15" tires.

This is a nice storage box. Far from water proof. It is a nice size and will hold numerous patio accessories. Not close to the same quality of the old Rubbermaid products. It appears they have have adopted the philosophy price is more important than quality. Rubbermaid use to be a world class company with best in market products. I can't get over the assembly process for this chest. It is necessary to take a hammer and screw driver, per instructions, and beat our eight plugs in the base of the chest. This takes at least 20 minutes and should have been performed during the manufacturing process. Additionally, there is no pre-drilling where the holes to attach the straps (cheap) which are needed to be mounted to prevent the top from falling backwards.

I do not own this particular deck storage unit, however, my good friends do. I'd like to help clarify why some of you have given this product less than 5 stars. I believe the issue those of you have with a collapsing unit and holding it together with bungee cords is that you have the bottom or base section upside down, the smooth side should be on the inside bottom of your unit. Once you flip the base to reverse of how you have assembled it, it will lock in place perfectly and you'll have a very solid storage unit. Good Luck to you all and enjoy your product.

I have been looking around for about 5 months for a storage box to place on my patio. I wanted to use it mainly to store my propane tanks when not in use. I have searched all the home improvement stores with no luck. They only had ones that were tall, short, long, etc. I searched online and found this one and i am very satisfied. I had it in use less then a week from the time i oredered it to the time i assembled it. Very easy to assemble. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Thanks Rubbermaid.

I have the same issue as other users, the display model at the store shows perfectly closed, 'water resistant' in a way. The one I bought, sealed in box, is clearly not. I bought this for my BBQ equipment, it seems like tons of critters will be getting in through the large gaps.....
