31 Gallon Outdoor Storage Box

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.

So easy to assemble! These are sturdy and very nice looking. I bought 3 and definitely happy I did. Easy to use, waterproof. Did I say super easy to assemble? 6 parts, marked with the part number and great visual instructions. Great buy.

Love this. Easy to put together and good instruction book. Perfect for our company porch. We keep cushions in one and games and various items in the other. They make great side tables to the chairs to set drink & plates on.

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.

So far so good. Although for outdoor use I use these in my garage and this one specifically I needed for my closet to store away some items. Sturdy. Can add a lock if I wanted. Great for organizing. Has a lot of depth. Easy to assemble. The instructions were easy to read. I would buy again

No tools needed it just snaps together.. I’m very satisfied with this purchase and putting it together, felt a bit like a puzzle, but I got it together in less than 15 minutes

First, this was inexpensive..........still.......it ain't exactly as great and sturdy as they say it will be. The instructions consists of drawings of parts with arrows to show which way is up. The instructions could be very much clearer if they would show more detail on what clicks with what. AND, it doesn't easily snap together. It requires some heavy heavy pushing. Maybe for a man it is easy, but I had to put full body weight to get some parts to SNAP easily in place (hah). I FINALLY got bottom and all the sides but the front side together after some cussing under my breath and thinking about how much it would cost in gas $$ and my time to return the thing boxed up to UPS to return............NOT worth it. So, got that front put on and I noticed a portion of it was split..........I didn't do it it came that way.....the split part was a bottom corner. rats. I still managed to snap the front in and got the top on...got out my extreme super glue and covered that split part to hopefully keep it together. Would I recommend it? I would with extreme caution about who is putting it together and check parts over before starting to see about cracks. I only plan to put my accessories for my grills in the thing on my newly remodeled patio and deck.......I wish I had just paid for an old wood chest, sanded and painted it, and put it out there.........it would look better, hold up forever, and would be way easier than snapping this thing together. I do like the 30 gal. size. I will use it till I get a wood chest at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore...........

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.

Très satisfaite ! Facile à monter, toutes les pièces sont identifiées, il suffit de suivre la notice. Prévoir d'être 2 pour tenir. Assez grand pour 2 gros coussins de loveuse et plusieurs petits, il reste de la place, mais pas pour un salon 7 places. Il est joli (effet bois), semble de qualité et très solide, on peut s'assoir dessus si besoin. Vraiment étanche, il a déjà subi plusieurs orages et tout reste sec. Il est parfait ! Je recommande.

Great sturdy box just as described.

Mooie tuinbox. Het installeren was wel wat moeilijk je hebt zeker een zachte hamer en een schroevendraaier nodig. Als je dit niet hebt (zoals mij) wordt het lastig.

Esta caja es muy bonita y de muy buena fabricación.

War eine gute Entscheidung diese zu kaufen.
