I've purchased one before and its very practical. The instructions are very general and a couple of my metal supports weren't straight, but was still able to put together. Overall still a good deal.

I’m not going to say this is leakproof, but we had a strong storm come through with some 50+mph winds and about 3 inches of rain in one hour. No leaks. Everything inside was bone dry.

It is nice looking and OK to sit on, but some parts didnot go together as they should have even though I followed the instructions point by point. I have it sitting in a spot that gets full sun part of the day and it shows some warping so I guess if it is in a sunny spot all day this would be worse.

The seat back plank piece that reinforces the seat back was missing. I contacted the manufacturer- Keter. They said they can’t send the missing piece and I will have to return the bench to where I bought it and get a new one. Instead of taking the bench apart and returning it, we will keep the bench. The seat back doesn’t feel as supportive as it should and flexes when leaned on. It would be less inconvenient for everyone if they could just send the missing part instead of having us take it apart, return it and rebuild it again. Other than the missing piece, it’s a nice bench.

Pros: This works great for storing the kids' outside toys and a spot for watching them play. Cons: This is plastic which means two things: 1. It is sturdy enough but not much. It came with the backrest for the bench broken beyond use. 2. It gets HOT when in the sun, especially with the dark color.

Pleased with this product. Recent purchase, assembly. Took a little strength to push some parts together but got them in. It is very sturdy and light weight, just the right height for bad knees. One piece on the bottom had one corner snapped off inside the box. I taped it back inplace and it fit in fine, did not effect stability and not visible. Would buy it again.

The hinges poped on day 2 from the heat of the sun warping the lid/seat and with any items that are placed in the storag area hits the lid even slightly the lid pops up. I had to reinforce the the lid hinges with metal ones yhat where epoxyed and screwed on. And add 2 more latches to either end to keep the box closed to keep unwanted items out.

Easy to assemble

Kinda flimsy; strong wind picked it up with stuff in it and threw it into pool and it broke apart .

Love the Keter Products, nice bench.
