Summary: Pushing the limit
Comment: This deck box seems to about push the limit of the Suncast design. It assembled easily, and it holds a ton of outdoor toys, but I'm glad I didn't go one size larger as the integrity/sturdiness appears to suffer the larger the container. I read the reviews of the larger boxes and opted for this one. So far I have not had issues with the wind blowing the lid open/off, or the box falling apart. I do believe the best use for this is for large, light, cumbersome items. I use it for big plastic trucks, t-ball bats and balls, badminton racquets et al, and bubbles/water guns. I would not load it down with heavy garden staples like sand, lime or soil. The kids can get in and out of it and I don't worry about the lid slamming on them because you pretty much have to hold it to keep it open and it's pretty light.

Summary: Finally!
Comment: Finally, a deck box that keep its contents dry! We're an older couple and have no need for a larger box than this one. It contains covers for our two deck chairs and other items we use on our deck (radio, coasters, etc.). It will comfortably hold the cushions for our two chairs when winter comes. This is the third deck box I've purchased and each leaked but not this one.
I had no trouble at all putting it together in about 5 minutes when it arrived. Nice part was I needed no tools to do it. I highly recommend this deck box to all who do not need a larger one.

Summary: product came damaged
Comment: The product came damaged, a corner of the top was broken off. We glued it back into place because this was easier than dealing with return shipping. It functions okay, but would like a lot better without the 're-attached look'.

Summary: Roomy chest
Comment: This thing has plenty of room in it. We transferred all of Mrs. Spudman's birding supplies into the new facilities. In the box now are two, short metal trash cans with lids. Two 25 pound bags of seed. Several of those large, popcorn tins, that now hold birdseed. And a whole miscellany of feeders of various sizes.
The very size and depth of the box can makeit difficult to reach things on the bottom of the box. I built and installed a free-standing shelf, about a foot high, on one side of the box for placement of small items and easy access. The built in lid storage tray is wonderful and even has an indentation in the middle to make it easier to open. It is divided into three compartments in which Mrs. Spudman keeps things like gloves, clippers, hooks, and bird treats. The tray's lid doesn't always close smoothly, and needs a little extra encouragement. Not closing this compartment snugly means all of its contents could fly out when the large lid is raised.
Most people will place their deck boxes on a deck, porch, or patio. That wouldn't work in our situation since the box contains birdseed for the feeders and a deck placement would require too many trips up and down the steps. Instead I made an elevated platform using cinderblocks and 2 by 4s on which to situate the new box. Its raised position enables Mrs. Spud easier access to the contents, and its ground location eliminates all those trips up the steps.
Finally
This box suits and will suit our purposes perfectly. We like its size and the extra storage in the lid. Those who don't need a box of this size and favor mobility may want to shop for a box equipped with wheels and handles. Our box is stationary. I wouldn't want to struggle with moving this thing. As more stuff has found its way inside the box, the steadiness and stability of the box has actually improved.

Summary: Good box, good value.
Comment: I don't think this can be beat for the price. It is HUGE, can hold almost anything, including our 6 folding deck chairs, with room to spare. It keeps out the water, has holes to add your own latch or lock, and was an absolute breeze to assemble (3 minutes, tops). It stays together when moving from place to place (even if full). It looks OK, given that it's a plastic monstrosity. The color is neutral enough to blend in with just about anything.
I only detract one star because of a few things that would improve it greatly -- it could use some wheels, or at least handles or imprints so it could be gripped/moved with much more ease. It is sturdy enough to sit on (even my 250+ pound friend had no problem sitting on it), so if they had simply molded the lid in a seat shape, this would have had far more function.
As a side note: Do not pay the inflated shipping charge, it is not worth that. You can find it locally at Ace or Sears for a lot less, especially during a sale (like the current Memorial Day sale).
Overall: Good product, I'm glad I chose it.

Keep yard gear out of sight when you stow it in this large 50-gal. storage box. Perfect for the deck or patio, the box is made of durable resin with a unique stay-dry design that keeps contents dry and out of the elements. In a pinch, it can also be used as extra seating. Use it to store everything from rakes and watering cans to couch cushions and patio accessories. Hinged top flips open for easy access to storage area.
