Bought this from Sam's about 2 years ago. It get's opened maybe once per month - not much use. After a year, the lid warped such that it has become concave. Thus a puddle forms on top of the box when it rains and freezes to ice in cold temperatures. Just recently one of the lid pistons broke away from the side of the box for no reason. I cannot believe that Sam's club allows this on their shelves.

I purchased one of these over a year ago and have had no issues - I am going back to buy another one. Everything stays dry inside. I suggest to those who have had issues with hinges and things to take the box back apart and review how you put it together the first time. It can be confusing. I have recommended this to others.

Needed a deck box badly, and saw this in our local Sam's Club. Price was really great compared to other boxes of this size. It took under 30 minutes for my husband and I to put together. Instructions were minimal, but illustrations were clear. Time will tell if it will hold up to southern weather, but if it lasts several years it will be worth the $$.

When we got our Keter Deck Box as a gift from our children, the brackets that hold the lid open broke right away. I see they have corrected the problem by reinforcing the brackets with metal, Also the lid should be domed so it does not retain water! If those items were corrected I would have rated the box at five stars!!!

I BOUGHT 4 OF THESE KETER DECK BOXES AND THEY ARE OF THE POOREST QUALITY YOU CAN IMAGINE. THE LIFT ARMS WILL LAST A VERY SHORT TIME AND THE TOP WILL WARP AND LEAK LIKE CRAZY IF LEFT OUTSIDE ( WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR--RIGHT ) I THINK IF YOU WANT A BOX GO OUT TO SAM'S DUMPSTER AND GET A CARDBOARD BOX AS IT WILL SERVE YOU AS GOOD AS A KETER BOX.

The product has great promis but the LID needs much redesign. The cheap plastic where hinge connects to base are not re-enforced. The plastic will break under weight of lid. the Lid itself will started seperating after the first year. The top and bottom skins start to seperate.

This is one of the best deck box's i have ever order. The size was great and the structure even better. It has metal around the inside top and has hydrolic's inside both sides of the lid to help it open and close. Last year I purchase a deck box a little smaller and paid more for it and it was not made as nice. This one I ordered on line and picked it up in the store and it was already assembled the other one we had to put together when we got it home.I would recommend this product

Bought this from local Sam's. When I got it home and had it mostly assembled I noticed one of the panels was cracked in two places. Since the price was reasonable I thought it would be too much of a hassle to take it back--so decided to keep it anyway. Overall it was much flimsier then I expected and not water tight..in the store it seemed reasonably solid. I am just glad I bought from Sam's for only $99...I saw this online for $189-450...for those prices the quality would have been a complete and utter rip off!

4/7/13 - In-store Display looked very good. Purchased Deck Box and brought home, opened shipping box and found 3 pieces broken -(NO DAMAGE ON SHIPPING BOX) All internal cracked ends. Returned to store and was cheerfully asked if I wanted to exchange, I said yes , but I want to check before I purchased. Opened in all three boxes and found damage on all three items. Got my money back. Very disappointed. Product looks very good quality and great value and would give more stars if the package would be in unbroken condition.

Saw this in the store, thought it was a good value for the money. Took it home and didn't put together. Got online to see what the reviews were like. Got concerned because of some the the negative comments. Put ours together last night and was very pleased with how quick and easy it went together. NO broken pieces, NO missing parts. I think it is a very good product for the money.
