Great deck box.
Large deck box that I am using to store gardening items that I like to keep handy. It was a cinch to snap pieces together. Sturdy, spacious, attractive. I highly recommend it.

It serves the purpose
I was hoping for it to be a little bit more sturdy. When one adult man weighing 180 pounds sits on it it starts to wiggle when two people sit on it you can wiggle it pretty easy. The whole point to us purchasing this particular one was reasonable price and you could sit on it. It does keep the water and moisture out so that's good.

    Pretty positive, actually!
    I like the clean lines of this porch/patio bench. Assembly was difficult for me as I have very small hands and I couldn't really handle the parts/connect them, etc. I need help from a friend who was male and had larger/stronger hands to complete (well, actually perform) assembly. Once completed (inside house), the rollers made it really easy to get back out to the porch. Large storage space will certainly provide collection of things to save over the various seasons.

    Be aware of the space needed to open the box.
    The Suncast box arrived in the time specified without any problems. The box itself was as described and assembled without any tools in less than 10 minutes. My 250lb weight sat on it without any issue or problems, so it is sturdy enough. My only issue/complaint is that due to the large seating lip, the box itself needs to be 8 to 11 inches away from the wall in order to open the box fully. (See Photos) If I would have known/realized this prior to ordering, I would have picked a different model; but at this point it is not worth the trouble to disassemble and return.

    Makes a Good Dog House
    I have many Suncast products and satisfied with everything I have purchased. To make it brief I needed a dog house for a stray that no one has claimed. I searched for dog houses and it appeared all I viewed was either too expensive or cutesy without quality. I received this item in approximately three days of my order. We put it together and the lid is not difficult to put on if you sit on it. In other words, the lids snaps on in three areas at the back and you need to apply a lot of pressure. There is no latch and it does not snap closed, at least not the one I received. We are going to make a hole thru the top underside and wire it so it will stay closed tightly. We cut a hole in one end for the dog to go inside. We have heating pad and straw inside. We put this product under roof on a patio area. The dog seems to love it. It is simple to put together and it just snaps together. It is water proof because the lid covers the entire top and there is no way water can seep into it unless you don't put it together correctly or you received one that is damaged. i have a huge 'Lifetime' deck box and if you are familiar with those, this Suncast item is a lot lighter weight and thinner material but still good quality for most average uses.

    I would definitely recommend this product and company
    Awesome! I bought this to go on our pontoon boat for storage. I was unsure of how it would look but it looks fantastic. And will hold way more than what I expected. So happy.

    Just purchased 2nd one!
    We use outside by pool. Great for storing pool cleaner and chemicals for pool. Also serves as extra seating. Heavy duty, durable. Easy to clean.

    Wish I would have bought this sooner
    We just had to throw away most of our outdoor toys because they were deteriorating being left out in the elements year round. This bench was so easy to put together is big enough to hold any toys you want to leave outside for easy access so the kids can play. My eight year old loves to empty it out and climb inside himself like its a fort. Seems to be very sturdy and is easy to move around on the deck.

    Snaps together in 10 minutes
    Good overall construction for an outdoor box. This lid on the box overlaps to close but if it's not level the lid will be crooked so be sure to level it. It isn't air tight which allows stuff to breathe but it is mostly waterproof as seen in last thunderstorm. All pieces were clearly marked by a "Letter" and construction was simple while each piece interlocks to the next. I would beef up the plastic catch wires that hold the lid but they serve the purpose I guess. I laid mine on a shipping skid. This box IS lockable and it has a 1/4" hole to use either a cable lock or a long armed padlock. I can fit a full 6 gallon bucket with lid inside this box and close the lid to give an idea of it's height. This was perfect for me to store garden materials.

    Great value, great storage box.
    This was an excellent purchase for the price. Great size to hold 6 seat cushions for an outside patio table. Upon completion of this product, we had a terrible rain storm where it was raining in all directions, after we checked the box and the cushions we put in there were totally dry.

    Exceeding Expectations
    Holds (3) chaise cushions, (4) chair cushions, and (1) love seat cushions easily. Everything remained dry after the heavy rains over the past few days. I was able to put it together with no tools; however, I have not affixed the top by snapping lid into top back panel. I had to address another time sensitive issue. Had the box almost one week.

    My Second Deck Box
    Have been using this deck box for many years to store all kinds of summer items. It has held up well and is like brand new. So, I searched online for the exact same box. I have been storing my chair cushions under a tarp on top of the deck box until one morning when our dog reacted to something above from below the deck. Those cushions became a cozy bed for one very "make yourself at home" raccoon...thus the need for box 2. Love this box...my son had it put together within 15 minutes. My cushion now have a dry safe place.

    Good quality and easy to put together
    The setup of this product was easy and straight forward and required no tools at all. The instructions were clear and well done. The storage box seems strong and well made and includes plenty of room for storage. It also feels sturdy as a bench and I will likely buy another one to also place on my deck for additional outdoor items.

    Perfect outdoor seating and storage!
    I am very happy with this bench/storage solution. When I moved to a smaller apartment with a pretty back patio I found I had no space for all my gardening supplies and so needed attractive outdoor storage that would also serve as seating. I added a pretty cushion to the top and have ample room inside for the pots, soil and tools that I use for container gardening. As for the sturdiness of the bench, I found out how sturdy it is when it arrived in a box so torn up that I was sure the contents must be damaged. On taking out the parts though and snapping them together with no need for any tool I found not a single scratch or any type of damage at all! Amazing! I am giving it 4 stars now because I have only had it a week, but if, after going through the summer and being put under cover through a Vermont winter it is still in good shape, I will give it 5 stars!

    Great value!
    Ordered 2 deck boxes for my pool deck and I am extremely pleased with them. They went together very easily without tools and they have a trememdous amount of storage space. The sitting area on top is very generous and very sturdy and the boxes look very nice, too. All in all, a great value. But, I only gave it 4 stars because I ordered it shipped to my local store, and it took almost 3 weeks to come in.

    Overall Sturdy But not a good snap top
    This came in just 6 pieces so it seemed relatively easy to put together...im not good at putting things together at all...so after a failed attempt, I needed my husband to do it. I have another great quality cushion box in my backyard and this one did not compare but it would have cost too much to send it back. While it is pretty sturdy and looks like it could stand the test of time with the wind, weather etc. The closing mechinism on the top is cheap and flimsy. We both had to practice closing it as it takes a little meneuvering to get it to snap in place. If i had seen in in the store and been able to test I would not have bought it. We can fit cushions for a outdoor love seat and 2 chairs but thats it and its stuffed to the brim. This size is good if u have fewer or smaller cushions.

    "Waterproof & Plenty of Storage"
    This Mikanda Storage Deck Bench offers additional seating for larger get togethers. It stores all of our hammock gear, patio set cushions and swing cushion. It holds everything except the hammock stand! We love it and would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to clean up their patio, yet have things close at hand when you need them! Best deal for my money! Thank you [...]
