Assembly

Pros:

• "Super easy to assemble. Waterproof, sleek design, fully closed."
• "This little deck box snapped together easily and has kept the Spring rains and storms at bay."
• "This was the easiest piece of furniture I’ve ever put together!"
• "Beautiful brown color, Took me only 5 minutes to snap together, very easy to follow directions."

• "The hinges broke on this within the first few weeks after being assembled."
• "The directions were confusing…. Ended up looking at the pictures!"
• "I also didn’t find it easy to put together."
• "The assembly instructions include drawings only, no text. They're essentially worthless, you have to figure out out on your own."
• "Right now, having not an easy time trying to assemble it; you might get couple pieces together and upright for a moment or 2, but try to add 3 panel, other 2 fall apart."
• "It was not too bad to assemble but I did better by just looking at the parts and placing together rather than the instructions."
• "This product is extremely hard to assemble. I was exhausted at the end of it and it kept falling apart."

Durability

Pros:

• "Purchased only a month ago, but seems to be weatherproof and sturdy."
• "It’s sturdy for the price and keeps everything dry."
• "Initially I was a little turned off by how flimsy it looked but after it was put together it is quite sturdy."
• "The design is brilliant and results in a box with a hinged lid far stronger than the weight would lead you to believe."
• "Survived their first rainstorm and kept the interior dry."
• "It is water proof, lightweight and easy to assemble."
• "Sturdy enough to withstand hot summers and cold winters."

Cons:

• "Plastic box that is not super sturdy. Using it as a side table for outdoor firepit and needed the storage."
• "The plastic is on the thin side as expected at this price point but its holding up great."
• "This box is supposed to be strong enough to sit on. It is not."
• "Holds only 4 very small summer chair cushions; sides came apart while I was lifting it to change location."
• "The hinges themselves are little plastic nubs that wear down/off quite easily."
• "The lid has already warped and it’s not able to close all of the way."
• "Started to break down in weather (sun, rain, snow in mountains) after about 9 months."

Design & Aesthetics

Pros:

• "Nice weather resistant box that I hoped would serve as a UPS/FedEx delivery drop box."
• "Im using this as a table between chairs and its perfect!"
• "This is the right size deck box I needed for my small covered patio to store outdoor furniture cushions and some planting supplies."

• "Purchased this to add some storage on my balcony for my gardening supplies. It looks great with the style of my current patio furniture."
• "I really like the stylish, clean-lined look of the box."
• "This dark brown deck box blends well in my deck area. It is end table height and looks fabulous with a nice potted plant atop."

Cons:

• "This product is as close to crap as you can get."
• "Just very cheap plastic, must have cost 2 dollars to make, not even close to being worth the money."
• "Its flimsy and mice can get in."
• "This looks like anything you could pickup at Home Depot, so is tucked away in a corner of the yard."
• "The top will not stay closed when the wind blows. Flimsy."
• "So it is certainly not weatherproof."
• "The individual pieces are rather thin compared to some other brands."

Functionality & Features

Pros:

• "The storage boxes are quality products that hold furniture covers and also summer decorations for my back porch."
• "Super easy installation, size is more spacious than expected."
• "It's worked out really well all summer - I stow away garden tools on the non-windy side of the house where the least amount of rain and snow fall."
• "No leakage from rain."
• "Super easy to assemble. Waterproof, sleek design, fully closed. Can use a lock if you need to. I use this as a customer pickup at our home/office. Looks really nice for such a low price. Recommend!"
• "This box was easy to put together, needing no tools as the pieces were designed to click together. The space is large - we can fit 4 large furniture covers and 2 blankets in there with a little extra room."

Cons:

• "Sorry, not happy at all with quality for price. Lid does not close/latch properly."
• "The hook where you could place a lock broke off when I shut the lid the first time."
• "However, the assembly instructions clearly state that no one is allowed to sit on this box."
• "The description of this product on Amazon says, 'EXTRA SEATING: provides comfortable bench seating with a weight capacity of 220 lbs.'"
• "I was hoping to put pillows in there as well but it is not secure enough to prevent water."
• "The only reservation I would have is the security of the box if in a vulnerable position."
• "This will eventually compromise the waterproof aspect rendering it then useless."

• "We bought this to use outside for delivered packages, keeps them dry and away from temptation of theft."
• "Ordered yesterday, arrived today, assembled in 10 minutes."

Cons:

• "I called the manufacturer's customer service and was on hold for 20 minutes before someone answered."
• "The company refused to provide me just a lid, even though I was perfectly willing to pay for it."
• "However, when I tried to contact the company via email, an online form, and phone to order a replacement lid so I wouldn’t have to toss the whole container, it’s been radio silence."
• "I like the product but will never order from this company again as their customer service is not responsive at all."
• "Bought to contain parcels delivered by various delivery companies, placed under front porch at front of house. It has proved to be absolutely useless."
• "Extremely disappointed with this product. It came with missing parts. Had to get a refund now. I have a box with no lid that's absolutely useless."
• "Don't waste your money! We've had this less than a month and the flimsy plastic piece that the lock goes through broke off."
