150 Gallon Large Deck Box with X-Shaped Front, Resin Outdoor Storage Boxes, Waterproof Cushion Storage Bench for Patio, Pool Supplies, Garden Tools - Lockable, Taupe

Deck box looks amazing and love that you can sit on it; it was easy to put together and is strong; will work well. It came with a broken hinge part, and I contacted the seller, who then contacted the manufacturer, and they sent me a replacement part. So A+ for customer service! Very pleased with this purchase.

We had a dilemma of having to schlep heavy crates of firewood up the stairs during the winter. Our house is built on a downward slope front-to-back, and our firewood lean-to is on the back of the house. We have to either go down the stairs from our back deck to get firewood, or go all the way from the front of the house, down the east side yard and to the backyard to get wood. So it was either design and build a box out of expensive lumber, or think of something else. Me being an outside-the-box thinker since I was a kid (notorious for successfully using tools & items for purposes they were not designed), I thought a deck box would do the trick while being used for its intended purpose during the rest of the year. I selected this box because it was built to also be used as a bench, or for pool maintenance product storage, etc., so it would be strong. If I could have given it 4.5 stars I would. A half star off for not being quite as easy to assemble as I had figured. But it comes with 3 steel “U” bars for added strength. Two for the top of the box lengthwise and one for the lid. Be sure you always open and close the lid from the center, otherwise it tends to bind. No idea yet how many days worth of wood & kindling it holds, but there is quite a bit of room in the 120 gallon version. We made a divider out of wood to separate the kindling. It would’ve been nice if they were provided. Folks using this for cushions would appreciate such a feature. But we do appreciate that it was designed to accommodate dividers with the provided brackets & floor notches. As for locking, it will only keep honest people honest. The two metal pieces are small & thin and are secured by screws into the plastic. As for protection from weather, I would say it would protect the contents from all but a driving rain. It is possible strong wind could lift the lid a bit, so if it isn’t locked, be sure to put a weight on it. Otherwise I would say the protection would be great. The lid closes securely due to its weight. Unlike some other deck boxes, this one comes with two recessed handles that will make moving easier. I recommend you do this with two people at the ends, moving it any other way could lead to torquing the structure. Guys, don’t insist on moving or lifting it by yourself just because you can. It may seem light, but it’s bulky & awkward. Just let your wife or girlfriend take the other end. The handles make it easy. Overall, I would say this is a well-made product. It is designed with a faux-wood finish that we found is attractive enough in black that we can have it indoors during the winter. Just be sure, if you use it for the same purpose, that you do not keep it too close to the fireplace! And if you are in the desert Southwest, do not get it in black or you may have cushions encased in molten plastic! Regardless, items should be kept in the shade whenever possible during the hotter months. I cannot vouch for its heat resistance.

Love the look and quality. Instructions were a bit confusing at the beginning, but we figured it out. Looks great and is perfect for my needs. I got lidded clear bins and stack my Blackstone gear in there along with other things.

Instructions were vague. The bottom of the box does not stick to the rest of the box. When the box is pushed, the bottom separates from the box. The walls, front and back blow out with minimal weight. The gaps between box and walls will cause water to seep into box causing damage to items stored. I'm sorry I bought this flimsy box.

This thing is well worth the $120 I spent on it. It's sturdy, looks good, and comes very well packaged. Yet I, a grown adult male who knows how the world works, of course tried to put it together without reading the instructions. If you think you're too good to read the instructions, trust me, you're not. Or at least, don't put on both end pieces before slotting in the metal reinforcements. Don't be me. This is not a lego set which can be easily taken apart and put back together correctly. No sir. Once you put those end pieces on, you are married to it. I had to cut into the box to get the rods in there. It still looks great, and is sturdy, and those cut marks will only serve as a reminder to my own limits. Best of luck.

My son put it together in no time and told me how easy it was to put it together . He complimented on how sturdy the deck box was and was looking at purchasing the same one . It’s good value for the money and provides seating as well . I like that I can add a lock to secure my belongings. I’m using it for my cushions and pillows and it’s amazing how much I can get in there . The hydraulic struts open the lid well and hold it open . The extra netting and divider is a plus for more storage capabilities. It’s a perfect addition to the front porch !

The box was fairly easy to put together, took us maybe 30 minutes total. We both took turns sitting on top of the box, and it feels sturdy enough to be used as a bench. The hydraulic arms work well. Unfortunately we received the wrong color. Ordered taupe and received gray - I docked stars for that.

This deck box works out great for my pool floats. I definitely could have gotten away with a smaller one, but I love the style and the color.
