LIFETIME 60254 Heavy-Duty Outdoor Storage Deck Box, 150 Gallon, Desert Sand/Brown

Excellent product! I’ve had this storage box a few months and it has been through several storms, no leaks, no damage.Customer Service is great and very responsive. It was easy to assemble and arrived on time. Would buy again.

I just put this 150 gallon box together after delivery. It looks as if it will hold up well. I was able to follow the instructions for assembling the box, but the lid locking latch and bar was not easy to follow to get it so the screw holes would line up properly. (Lack of close up detail in the manual). I took the recommendation in the manual and came inside to watch the YouTube assembly instructions. Easy-peasy after that. I still have to attach the lid latches and put the lifting shocks on, but need another person to do this so the lid doesn't fall down in the process. That will happen today. Only issue I had with the box was a small void in the plastic from manufacturing on the edge of the front right where the front and right side overlap. I had to use my utility knife to cut a small piece of plastic that was protruding in order to get the side to fit properly. The void was so small and is on the inside of the overlap from the side piece, so I'm not worried about it. Assembly requires a few hand tools and a battery powered driver and drill are helpful. This storage box will be used for winter storage of patio seat cushions and a few sundry items during the warm weather.

Wanted to share a picture from this 5 years later! Amazing quality

I got this to store our outdoor furniture cushions. The assembly was not too bad, but a bit labor intensive. You definitely need a drill, a ratchet with different sizes, the sockets to fit your drill, and a few combination wrenches. The instructional video was very clear & helpful, but it still took me a couple hours to get it all done. I'm a 23 year old girl :) so you can do it! I will say though, if you don't have a full toolset (or at least everything mentioned here), you're going to struggle to tighten everything up enough. So far, the box looks great. I'm really happy with the look. I'm hoping it'll keep well (I'll be covering it with a deck box cover) and it definitely fits everything I need it to. Very pleased.

I needed to replace an older deck box that not only leaked with a cover on it, but was often a home for mice over the winter. I looked at several boxes on Amazon/Sams/online and this box seemed to have a preponderance of good reviews for being rodent proof and weather resistant.Assembly was fairly easy, although I did manage to snap one of the bolts used for the latch bar. The manufacturer did not include any spares, but it was a common size and I had one that similar in size that worked OK. I did not use any sealant on the seams, as there were several reviewers that testified to the weatherproof properties of the box without using any sealer. I did not have any help, but the box was fairly easy to maneuver around to work in all the fasteners.The first night sitting on the deck full of cushions we had a major series of thunderstorms roll through with high winds and several inches of rain. I checked the next day and everything in the box was dry and there was no evidence of any moisture in the bottom.Overall I am very impressed with the design and construction of this storage box.

Assembling the unit and installation was a one-person job. It does require some hand strength.It has survived its first summer and winter in Northern California without showing any surface degradation.

This was formerly a five-star review..now it is one-star.The top lid is made of a very cheap grade of plastic, apparently without UV stabilizers, and so the chemical plasticizers have apparently begun evaporating out of the plastic and it then it started to shrink.As the shrinkage continued, the screws connecting the metal framing strip at the front of the lid got ripped out of the holes in the lid.With more than 40 years living and recreating in sunny Florida, I have never seen a poorer example of plastics engineering for outdoor products. I expected my kid's cheap plastic outdoor toys to disintigrate after a few years -- but all of them lasted longer than this.CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. Now what? I can apparently have the lid replaced under the 10 year warranty, but will I have to do that year-after-year?Dear Lifetime, please make sure that your plastics engineering team sees this review, as well as my excellent original review. This problem is on them and your reputation is being ruined.====================ORIGINAL FIVE-STAR REVIEW=================Headline: Excellent design -- instructions could be better.The box itself is great. Very solid design and construction.There were several places in the instructions where it wasn't immediately clear which fasteners should be used, and I found myself reading and re-reading until it was clear. This is a minor complaint and it was partly on me because I was in a hurry while building it.The one most important thing to note is that you MUST use a socket wrench on the four 'dimpled' nuts that hold the hinges to the box. The thread-locking feature of these nuts requires a lot of torque to tighten them.
