It’s great extra seating at the lake and you can store cushions or many items inside ! It was easy to put together also !

The bench will serve its purpose outside. It has a generous storage area. It Will hold several cushions for chairs as well as the bench. The color is a darker brown than what I saw online. In the first photo you see how dark it looked compared to the website picture. The second photo is the first area we set it outside looks like a completely different color. Since then, we have moved it and it changes color in different light situations, sun versus shade. We can live with it because we basically bought it for the storage for cushions, but if you need it to be a certain color. You need to research it before you buy it. Only some of the parts were labeled which made assembly a little more difficult. for the most part it is what we expected.

I ordered this storage bench to store pool equipment and toys. It looks very nice. I ordered the black bench. It will do what I want it to do. However, it is so flimsy and cheaply made. Its lightweight and when I open the seat bench to access the storage area the lid is beyond flexible. Even as lightweight as it is, it bends like a noodle. The seat back is the same. Not firm support like you would assume a plastic bench to offer. This will hopefully last the summer with minimal use. We dont have kids who would be opening and closing this a lot to grab pool toys. So if you need a storage bench to be really sturdy to withstand a busy family summer, this may not be the bench for you. Its fine for light storage and it looks pretty.

Not the best to put together. This storage bench even though it is made out of plastic looks nice, but is not the easiest to assemble. The directions are kinda vague. Once I eventually assembled this. I went to attach the latches that it comes with, and one of them didn’t even have all the holes drilled through on it. So I wasn’t able to attach those. Those latches would have allowed a lock to be placed through them. To protect your belongings. The bench itself is put together through a series of clicking parts. So it’s very essential I think to have a hammer or mallet. The pieces need to be really put in place for them to click. I do however really like the storage space this has. It’s enough to store at least six outdoor patio back cushions. I’m happy with the overall look of this. It looks very nice on a patio or open space you need to store things in at. Like by a pool or playset. I’m not sure on the weight limit of this bench. It does feel pretty solid even though the pieces were a little flimsy.

Super nice outdoor storage bench! Good quality and very nice color. Easy to assemble and the bench is light enough to move!
