Keter Eden Bench 265L Outdoor 60% recycled Garden Furniture Storage Box Graphite & Light Grey | Fade Free | All Weather Resistant | Safe and Secure | Zero Maintenance | 2 year Warranty

Reasonably priced & practical. Good sized bench, easy to put together with clear instructions, you just need a screwdriver and maybe another pair of hands. Seems a little flimsy when assembling but once all together it’s very sturdy. Holds loads of garden cushions and looks very stylish too.

Bought this essentials as a storage box for the long sofa seat cousins, all three fit + the three stool seat cousins, the seat fits on the deck under the tree and looks great and very useable. Easy to follow instructions and takes approx 20mins to assemble. The only disappointment was the delivery came from a third party and didn't arrive in the timeframe stated.

Got this to replace a metal seat while giving extra garden storage. Already have a larger storage box from Keter which was really pleased with so decided to go with them again. Only negative would be slight damage to the base panel which after looking around seemed to match up with damage to the external packaging. This didn't seem to affect to box so decided to keep and build. The whole thing went together pretty well with only slight encouragement needed for some pieces to go together. Took well less than an hour to assemble taking time to double check the instructions and had help from a second person to hold pieces in place while fixing which made things easier but would think one person could do the job. Once built the seat feels solid and is stable when sat on. The storage is what you would expect as anything larger would not suit its use as a seat which is why I went for this.It's now been in the garden a few months and looks good while keeping things inside protected from the elements

I bought this bench for my parents garden. It comes with a very clear instruction manual and all the parts you require. They even include extra screws in case these get lost. It took a little while but I was able to assemble by myself with no need for further assistance. All of the plastic components are well made and click together like a giant Airfix kit. There are clearly marked screw holes for all areas apart from on the base, where some of the screw holes on the front and back are a little hidden and required opening with a small bradawl. Apart from that, no tools are required apart from a standard cross-head screwdriver.The design is excellent, assembly easy and it is comfortable to sit on. Previous Keter benches have lasted for decades and I am sure that this will do the same

I read alot of the reviews about this and there are some quite negative ones. However, I read them carefully and came to the conclusion that some people are a bit picky. I received this bench, very well packaged. I really can't complain about how tidy it was packed and the polystyrene around the parts. As with anything flat packed, you do need to understand how to put a lego set together. Having a lego set when you were a child would be a bonus for understanding the instructions. The instructions are very clear if you read very carefully and ensure you take notice of what parts go where and what screws to use where. It's not difficult to understand, but just requires being organised and ensuring you understand the parts before putting it together. If you do that, it's a breeze. Some people have complained about left over plastic on some parts from the injection mould. In all honesty, when you buy anything that is injection moulded you should expect a little thin left over plastic. Mine did have this in one or two small places, but it is so thin that it is easy to break off.Some people have complained about parts and screw holes not aligning up. This storage bench has some parts that require screws and some parts that require a push and clip mechanism. And then there are some parts that require both. I will admit, some of it does take a bit gentle of elbow grease, but if you buy it with that in mind, knowing you may have to put a little effort into putting it together then you won't be disappointed. The fact is, as long as you ensure all the parts are clipped in or screwed in correctly, then everything will go together fine. You shouldn't have to use modification techniques like some have mentioned. That just smells of the nightmare DIY enthusiast more like a nightmare on elm street. You shouldn't have to force anything during the build process, but you will have to apply gentle pressure on some parts to get them to clip in. I gently banged some parts with the ball of my hand without any need to force and they went in perfectly.Once put together, patiently, the bench is very sturdy. It will easily take the weight of two people, maybe three and maybe your dog if you have one. It looks damn good, and is an excellent alternative to a wooden bench. Better still, you can wash it down without it affecting the wood, as its not wood.There is heaps of storage space. I have fitted my petrol strimmer, garden tools and some other tool bags in so far, and I still have tons of space.I really recommend this to anyone looking for a good looking alternative to a wooden storage bench. The wooden ones I looked at were £300/£400, this is just under £80. So really a bargain.And if you don't use it for garden tool storage, you could use it to store cushions or anything else you use outdoors in the summer months. If you don't use it for storage at all, then it is lightweight considering the size. If you go caravanning then, providing you have space in your caravan. You could stick this inside while you travel, and use it wherever you park up.All in all, brilliant. All I can think is the other people who complained, were either being picky, or didn't read the instructions correctly and used the wrong parts in the wrong places. Worse still, got their electric drill and chainsaw out to it. If you do that, then what can you expect.

Very generous storage, items stay dry. Good quality

Makes the outside storage box look a bit better and makes it handy as an other unit of outside furniture. It is also a bit stronger when put together than other boxes I have seen. It was not too much of a challenge to put together and managed to do it myself without any help. Considering the price of others it was well priced.

Yes it's a bit flimsy but once put together it's more sturdy. Looks good in my garden with new cushions. However rain water runs inside the box when the seat is lifted up so I've had to buy a rain cover for it so that's more expense!!
