Customer Reviews

Don't believe the poor design and construction reviews
The construction is a bit unorthodox as there are no screws that hold it together but once it is together, I was able to pick it up and move it without any issues. When putting on the side pieces I noticed that there are two pins that need to go into holes of the front and back panels. You can force the box together without making sure the pins go into the holes which would probably make for a sloppy fit. I imagine that is what happened with the people who's box fell apart.

Overall, this is a great box and they have accessories for it also. I am using it to hold hot tub and grill supplies.

I expected much better quality for the price...
This product does keep items inside dry, and is sturdy enough to sit on when the lid is closed, but that's about the extent of its attributes. I find the design to be very flawed--the four sides of the deck box are separate, modular pieces which more or less "nest" together. The first day I assembled the deck box on my 3rd floor condo balcony, a gust of wind blew the lid open, causing the nested sides to shift and the entire thing to collapse. This in turn caused the soft plastic "hinges" to bend out of shape, and now whenever I open the lid, the nested pieces pull apart. This deck box would be great if the "box" itself were constructed of one solid piece such as a cooler, but as it is now, it's a piece of crap that I can't see lasting more than a couple of seasons at most...

Great Colors ... Keeps Everything Dry
We use this out on the deck to store hot tub items as well as patio furniture covers and it works great. Living in the Seattle area we tend to get a bit of rain and it keeps everything dry as can be. Great product!
