Rubbermaid Deck Box with Seat - X-Large

I underestimated the shipping box sizes. Had to have my son pick them up with his truck. Very easy to assemble. Just make sure you punch out the little plastic tabs per the instructions. It will make it WAY easier on you. I assembled each one in about 5 minutes once the tabs were removed. I had to punch them out then a couple of them I had to pull out with pliers (needle nose worked best). Then the sides, front and back just snap in place. I did need my husband to hold the lids (I got 2 of these wonderful boxes) in place while I hammered the hinge pins into place and then screwed in the retaining straps (so the lid won't flop over backwards). I have pool chemicals, skimmer baskets and poles, deflated pool toys, tools and a bunch of other stuff in them and STILL have plenty of room. Sure made my back porch look better. As for being a bench, I'd let my grandchildren sit on them but not so sure my husband or I should.

I have had it for a few weeks. It was super easy to put together. I was concerned about how much it would really protect my items from water since I am primarily storing my light-colored cushions in it. We had a HUGE thunderstorm with rain and 100mph winds. The lid remained secure and nothing inside was wet!

Great size - perfect for two Adirondack chair cushions plus four seat cushions with lots of room to spare. Relatively easy to put together and seems sturdy - although I don't know that we will use it as a spare seat as advertised. My husband and I are not large folks and it seemed somewhat flimsy when we both sat on it - would be fine to set dishes/food on for deck dining, however. Like that it can take a separate lock. Finally, it has survived a couple crazy rainstorms and appears to be waterproof.

I have had another brand deck box in the past and wish I had purchased the same one once again. The Rubbermaid deck box went together easy enough, but it also comes APART easy enough. I usually need to move the deck box to clean behind it and if you push at all on the sides or front to slide it, it becomes unsecured. I don't like the way its constructed. I'm tempted to glue it with silicon adhesive. Such a shame because its a nice looking box. Wish it also had wheels on the one end. I have it under shelter but don't know how water tight it is. Wish it had better moblity characteristics Its large and spacious. Lid and box look nice. But the side pieces should connect with more secure fittings than the peg and snapdown method. Just not enough in my opinion. I kept it because I needed it asap. I moved my old one(another brand) by rolling it across the yard and, ironically, it held together. Too bad it was just too ugly to keep in view, lol. I'm still using the old one for another purpose.

Sturdy item, however, it snaps together and the corners do not meet correctly. I bought it to put my horse's hay in. Lightweight stuff. I had to take gorilla tape and tape the sides so it would be flush like the photo (it is cheaper looking than the photo) I think it would have worked better if the sides were flush when built and you screwed the entire thing together rather than just snap in the sides. The pieces that hold the lid up are poorly made. With all that said, it was a good price.

Don't waste your money on this box. The product description said weather proof, this is not true. After putting this box together I could see daylight coming in through the sides where the side connect. I put this together in my living room and I could see the daylight coming through the joints. During the moving process from my living room to the back porch one side came lose and popped out, It's a good thing I had a large tarp to wrap this box up in to keep the contents dry when it rains or I would have some soggy lawn equipment. Do yourself a favor don't waste your money on this box and get something better.

This item is advertised as being made using resin, it is not, it is ABS plastic. It is large and it is double walled and much nicer than the other boxes I have but I probably wouldn't have purchased it if I knew the correct material. Shame on Rubbermaid for false advertising!

The box / container was easy to put togather , but when i took my cushions from the chairs place them in the box/ container it came apart on the ends I had to put screws on the inside of the container and drive then from the side panel to the front to hold the corners togather I would not recommend this to any one

Very disappointed with this purchase and already returned it to Walmart! We followed the directions and the sides did not come together as it was suppose to. There is no way this would be waterproof! I was expecting much better quality from Rubbermaid.

I had to buy bungie cords to wrap around the body of the box because there are no hard connections between pieces, so when you open the lid the assembled panels for entire box separate and it falls completely apart. Very poor design - the engineers really blew it on this one. Note 2nd photo where pieces are moving.
