I got this and found that it was really to assemble, IF you follow the directions; do it in the order it states.This product is NOT waterproof, as mentioned in the ad. Nothing you would assemble in this fashion will be. It also mentions weather resistant, and because of the product plastic make up, that's probably true, but weather resistant does NOT mean water will not get inside it. So, if water's going to get in it what's the point??? The materials used in the manufacturing of this product are of such a quality that it is not worth the money you are going to pay. Very disappointed!Overall happy with purchase. Plenty of room to hold all of the kids toys and looks nice on the porch. The hardest part of assembly is attaching the lid but it seems sturdy once it is together.Use to store tent items on a wood deck for summer outdoor camping in our backyard near the spring-fed creek.I am using it for storage. You cannot sit on itWhat a shame. You spend that kind of money on a product and expect to get something well "molded", solid that won't bend. This is NOT that.Just sitting on it deflects the entire top. So shocked by the low quality being produced today. Fortunately we are keeping them in the garage to store electrical chords . I'm concerned how well these will hold up...This box is made from semi-flexible, lightweight molded plastic. Cannot be used as a 'seat' as stated on the description. The dimensions are for the exterior of the box, not the interior. The plastic sat on the deck for a week and then warped out of shape. Not recommended unless keeping out of the elements, like in a garage.This product was very easy to assembly and took very little time. It is perfect for storing our chair covers and fire pit cover. It is great and a good valueThis is a nice size deck box. All my cushions and pillows fit in it. It kept out the rain and my cushions stayed dry. Very happy with this purchase.
