The bench is decent, sturdy and it didn't take long to assemble. However, I've had it for over a year now and the one thing I don't like about it is the quality. We have this on our pool deck. When it rains, water gets in into the storage area and there are usually lizards and frogs that end up in there. Pretty gross. Not worth it if you're planning on storing equipment. The actual storage unit that's $99 is of much better value and quality.

Wife bought this to store some pool supplies. Everything was going together with minor difficulty until we reached assembling the sides of the box. The procedure calls for snapping the sides into the partially assembled box. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get the two plastic bonds to match in the holes. The holes were off and would not line up. We managed to get one in after an hour of frustration. The last one refused to go in. It took another hour and half to finally get it in the hole. This bench is about as cheap as they come. Do not buy this crap!! Two stars is very generous because it does look on.

It took a bit to putc together. Didn't realize it was plastic.

it was broken due to wind. Terrible quality

Some parts did not fit together as instructed and required minor modification. Takes patience and 2 people to assemble. Looks great and functions well after assembled.

Not one bit sorry we bought this. There's waterproof storage and the seat is reasonably comfortable. You can't just throw it together, but the directions were very clear and easy to follow. Just don't try to rush through it.

I purchase this and put in together and found a crack arm so I tried the internet first many times and never could get thru. loading please wait it said so then I called them only to hear the amount of trouble I would have to go thru paperwork picture's and on. the next time I will just return it

Was apprehensive about difficult assembly and broken pieces mentioned in other reviews but no pieces were missing and assembly was fine when instructions are followed. Package leaves much to be desired as carton was a mess and even had foot prints on it. Luckily it was all there and it turned out to be sturdy.

I bought the large Keter Patio Storage bench about a month ago. It was put together very carefully in the way the instructions were given. It has been in the open area on the patio since it was assembled and it is working perfectly for what it was meant for. We have had number really heavy storms in the past four weeks and this storage bench has not leaked one drop. I am 100% percent satisfied with the product. Even better than I expected it to be!! I am searching for another (smaller) Keter storage box now.

As some of the other reviewers mentioned, there was a missing part. Since were are mainly using it for storage, we decided to put it together without the part, leaving the back part a bit flimsy. Although the directions are confusing, all parts are clearly marked and you can use common sense to put them together. Some don't quite fit right and we needed to use full body weight to get them to snap together. Overall, it meets its purpose and looks decent.
