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.

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.

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.

Very easy to break

Easy to assemble

Love this bench. It provides storage for chair cushions etc and a seat if needed

My handyman put this together for me & I love it. It's already rained & cushions inside are dry!

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

bench is good except armrest is hard to keep attached

Love the Keter Products, nice bench.
