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

Pros - Great Price - Easy to Assemble - Great Looks Cons - Not as Sturdy as I would have liked I bought this to replace my pool chemical box that was probably 16 years old and had seen better days (it came with the house). My lawn crew had eaten a couple of holes in the corner with the weed eater, so it was time to replace it. I searched many different products and did not want to spend $300+, so I settled on this container for its price and aesthetics. When I received the box I was surprised by its light weight. All of the parts were there and carefully packaged. I highly recommend studying the instructions COMPLETELY before assembling. The instructions are nothing but pictures with only a few cautionary notes. They kept saying to use a rubber mallet, but I just used my hands to snap/pop it all together. While putting it together I was concerned that the box was not very sturdy, but as I finished up I saw that it was better than I originally believed. Assembly time was less than 45 minutes and I had no help. If you use a drill to drive the screws, make sure that you do NOT over-tighten the screws. I has mine set to release on a scale of 3 out of 10 and still stripped 2 or 3 screws. I found that if it is on a flat surface it is pretty stable and strong. If it is not on a flat surface the box will get wonky and the top not lay flat. I do not recommend sitting on the top hinged lid. The lid is still a little too flexible for my taste, so only lift it from the middle. The piston hinges work very well, but I am sure that eventually the chlorine will corrode them up as was the case with the previous box. Because it needs the flat surface, I bought three 8-foot cedar 2x4's and cut them to build a frame (55-1/2" x 26") with an longitudinal center board to support to bottom of the box. If you are not going to set this on flat cement, then I highly recommend building this frame. After placing it on the ground and leveling (very important), I secured the box to the frame with screws and large washers along the center board at the bottom of the box. The frame raises the box up off the ground and hopefully will protect it from the weed eater. I do plan on mounting aluminum plates to the frame at the corners for protecting the wood from the weed eater. All in all, a good buy.

If you take the assembly slowly and carefully - using your brain - despite the terrible instructions and pictures it is very easy to put together. It would be easier with two, but I did it fine by butting it up to the side of the house to hold the lid up while I attached it. Once together it is quite lovely. Looks fancy and way more expensive than it is. The 120-gallon one is super spacious and watertight. I am going to spray inside and out with natural anti-rodent and wasp spray just to be sure, but I am excited to not have to replace stuff next season because it's been eaten or otherwise ruined by either the weather or living pests. The damper lid hinges are the icing on the cake. It's super sturdy and can be used as extra seating. Highly recommend.

Great size, the lid stays open when putting items inside but closes easily, the cost was reasonable, it was easy to put together and love that it is waterproof because of recent flooding here in FL. I would have given it a 5 star rating but the left rear corner of the lid was cracked when we opened the box and a piece broke off but since it is covered by a cushion and is being used indoors for storage it is less work to just repair it than to send it back for replacement.

I purchased the 120-gallon outdoor storage container and I’m very happy with it. Assembly was manageable solo, but I’d recommend having a second person to make it easier. Once put together, it’s exactly what I needed—plenty of weatherproof storage for my patio. It’s sturdy, spacious, and keeps everything protected from the elements. Great product, just plan for a bit of effort during setup.

Nice! Tool-less and not hard to assembly, although I will add my usual complaint about how manufacturers tend to provide paper directions with diagrams too small for people with not great vision. When it's done, it's sturdy, roomy. Tough plastic which could pass for wood if you don't get TOO close. Would buy another.

First let me say I enjoyed putting this in my yard. Looks solid and robust and was easy to assemble. Having the gas lifts is a plus as they help open it and more important, keep it closed in windy conditions. Just the right amount of pressure at the right place. The only thing I will be adding is an 'under the lid' storage slot or something like that. Since the lid is strong enough to sit on, the underside is vast and begging to hold some small tools like pruners or other common used items. Catch it on sale and the value really shines.

Once I watched the video, it snapped together in 5 minutes. I spent an hour trying to understand the orientation of the bottom and linking the sides, etc. The instructions (to me) were vague on the orientation of the bottom panel, and it will not go together with the panel upside down. Watched the video, and BINGO. It is sturdy, and will hold what I wanted it to, as well as be a bench. Good deal.

It works great! For the money, you get a decent size storage. I used it to put in excess garden pots and also our huge Christmas tree. It really does it job well! Plastic is pretty thick. The problem I have with it is that there are parts where no matter how many times I look at the instructions or tried to revise it, I just couldn’t fit in some screws to their designated spots. At some point I gave up. I’m pretty sure the hinge is going to fly off at one point since it’s held by barely 1 and a half screws. Also I really wished they add more extras screws just in case. Two came damaged and unusable. That left us to use the extra screws. Had the hinge aligns perfectly, we literally would run out of screws. I hope in the future, they would add like 3-5 extra screws if not then make sure all the screws are in good shape. Again for the price you pay, it’s decent. I can’t complain much but there is definitely things that can be fixed.
