Suncast used to be a great brand and built excellent products as my still strong 9 year old 90 gallon deck box will attest. This new Suncast box I purchased is not the same at all, very poor quality plastics, poor architecture lacking rigidity and strength and not rain resistant either. Within the first two days of using it in 78 degree weather, one 190 pound man after sitting on it for a short period of time, the box side bent on the front just below the first horizontal seam and the vertical seams and stress cracked the plastic across the length of the unit. Keep in mind the box was meant also as a seat but it can not support a person, at least in warm weather. I have ordered a new box, different brand, for only $50 more which I know is stronger based on my neighbors experience. The sides also don't seal very well and our Oregon downpours allow water to leak in at the side seams and puddle in the bottom getting stuff wet. Best advice, just pass on this unit. Now I do plan to return this and hope WalMart won't give me a hard time.

Simply stated... it holds all of our needed outdoor furniture stuff. It has rained several days and all of our seat coushins were dry. Very secure box. The lid is extra heavy. You can sit on lid. It looks like the picture. Very strudy and easy to install...just snap together the pieces. You will like this deck box. Great price!! You won't be disappointed...PS a couple of our neighbors plan on ordering this deck box after inspecting ours!!!

Site to Store was good (25 mins start to finish). Assembly was easy (10 mins). Only problem is that the lid doesn't want to stay closed. Would be nice if it had a latch that kept it closed. I drilled a hole in the lid so that I could use plastic zip ties to keep it closed.

Easy to assemble. My two granddaughters (4 and 7) unexpectedly tested it's sturdiness by both jumping on the seat after assembly and it didn't budge or sides give...both weight maybe a total of 100 pounds. I sat on it at 280 pounds with the older and it was good. Make sure the area you're putting it on is level. Mine wasn't and the lid would not line up right. Once I leveled it within reason the lid lined up pretty good. No tools needed. Holds the cover for my 17 ft boat, gas cans, power washer, two single seat lawn chairs and I still have a little room left. The tray allows me a few smaller items to boot. All in all, I'm satisfied, it more than did the job I bought it for now it'll be a wait and see if the Northern Wisconsin winters will cause cracking or how will it hold up to snow piling up on it? I plan on putting a tarp over the top to help keep the fine snow from filtering in. Doesn't look like it'll keep a hard wind driven rain completely out but so far so good for the downpours. No side handles so it's not that easy to move once loaded. No bad to move when empty.

I could not put it together. I am pretty smart, but had to have my brother-in-law come help me. It was missing a bolt so now I have to figure that out. The ad says it is a seat, but I do not recommend an adult sitting on it. Maybe a kid, but it does not seem strong enough for an adult. If I had a choice, I would return it. Still might.

I spent way to much time researching to find the deck box that was the right size (big), sturdy (sit on if needed), and not expensive. I purchased this unit am find it meets my needs. Delivery took a couple of days, but assembly was kind of cool. My outdoor pads are now safe from dog chewing and weather. Not a bad product.

this was very easy to put together~~only thing is the lid doesn't lock quite perfectly in the groove when it's closed but enough so that water doesn't get in...adds LOTS of space for poll storage items & the inside top tray is perfect for goggles & other small items that always seem to fall to the bottom, not any more!!!

I think the box is expensive, but worth it! I've had it for about two months now and store all of my gardening chemicals, small tools, pots, etc. in it. Looks good and you can definitely sit on it. I like that the small storage unit is accessible from the top (I keep my hand tools, wasp spray, etc. in there#. You can't really see that in the picture, but it's on the top rear of the box and runs the entire length of the box. It has three separate areas to store small items. It was super easy to put together #done by myself in about 10 minutes and I'm a 55 y/o female!). The sides are sort of flimsy, but when put together, it's extremely strong/sturdy. Defintely meets my expectations and more. Oh...and it's a HUGE box. I was amazed by how large it actually is!

Large enough for lawn chairs, lawn chair cushions and the like.

Plenty of room and easy to put together. Lightweight when empty.
