It does not fit tightly together ... especially at the upper side corners. We purchased a ratcheted strap to tighten/firm it up. The plastic attachment lid rods and lid straps are way too weak. We are going to replace both using metal rods and chains.

Perfect size. I needed a 2nd outdoor storage box to keep my swing cushions away from the squirrels. they absolutely shredded my old ones. I'm 66 years old and was able to out this together myself. I have seen other reviews where they say it falls apart. It does lock together though. Connect the front and back panels to the floor of the box. Hold them straight and. parallel to each other and the sides slide in from the top and lock into place. Granted I had to sit in a chair and use ny knees to hold the front and back upright but I was able to do it I slso used a mallet to gently guide things in place. If you are not handy a 2nd person would help.

Had first bought a slighter smaller cheaper deck box from a different company, it was very flimsy. I returned that and purchased this instead. Very impressed, its sturdy and much more weatherproof. Needed something to store our pool and accessories in, and it's very large. It also needed to be able to handle a South Dakota winter, which I think it will hold up just fine. Very happy

This a great deck box. More than enough room for our chair cushions, umbrella, and bar-b-cue supplies. It was easy to assemble. The only problem was after we put it together we realize there is a whole knocked in the top. May have happened in shipping, I don't know but we weren't taking it back apart. So my husband just filled the whole with silacone. But over all it is a GREAT box!

I just purchased this item. It is a good size for my needs. It does take 2 people to put it together but it was not difficult to do. I live in harsh winters and it will be located under a porch and I will see how durable it really is after this season. It will be used for garden items.

My husband hates the construction of this container. He was quite angry about it. The plastic dowel pin that goes in the hinge does not fit. He states he has to make his own wooden dowel to get it to work. I like the size and color, but I didn't try to put it together.

I will never buy another Rubbermaid item that needs to be assembled again. This items called for a whole bunch of plastic flashing tabs to be tapped out before assembly. 3 came out easy...the rest were painfully difficult. That process took 30 minutes. Once the tabs were out the rest went together in 15 minutes. It is nice looking, roomy and sturdy once put together.

We had just purchased cushions for four chairs and a very long bench and we could not find anything large enough in which to store them. I found the XL Deck Box with Seat online and ordered it. Easy to put together and everything fit! We love it! Our grandchildren love to sit on it and I know that our cushions will stay dry!

These are really nice! I didn't know it would be so big put together but that's the size I was looking for. Hubby had it together in no time, nice and sturdy, Lid stays up, follow the instructions and it's simple! Love it, store bird seed, garden tools and everything in between in it, money well spent, looks very nice also!

It was easy to put together after reading the directions and liked that you could put a lock on it but if someone really wanted to steal the box or something in it I don't think it would be hard to do after knowing how the box is put together. I would suggest using silicone sealant if you wanted to bond the pieces together better.
