I ordered the brown color, or chocolate is a better description. I do like the look of the wood design in the paneling. It took about 30 minutes for my hubby to build; not bad I thought. This is large. I included a picture of my 16lb Shih Tzu to give a visual of how large this box is. It could definitely hold bench cushions, fire pit blankets, pool toys and floats, yard tools, gardening soil bags. The ideas are endless with this much space. There is a hydraulic closing and opening. Don't expect it to open and close without some help but it does stay up and doesn't slam shut. It claims the box lid is good for seating, as well. That 330lbs can be held on each side or 660 on full top. I am not too sure of that. I am no skinny chick, but I don't weigh 330lbs either. I did sit on it but was leery to sit fully on it. I stayed close to a side support. It was okay feeling sitting there but not too sure of that full weight claim. There is a locking feature. Which is nice, but I think if someone truly wanted inside of it, it would take them a little bit longer, but they could get past it. We did test the water-proof claim. We ran a water hose on top of the lid and along the back and side panels. The first 2 times, it did leak. But after seeing if something was built right, that is what we found. There are snaps along the back panel that allow 2 small panels to connect together to create on long panel. After putting on the hydraulic supports those came slightly loose without my hubby realizing it. Here's a TIP: Use a clamp to secure them until you hear a "snap." I included a photo and circled those spots in red. Once that was done....it was waterproof. We tested 3 more times to be sure and it stayed dry. Phew. I gave it 3 stars for the reason of the claim of weight it can hold and the material it is made of it not super thick for what I would think would be a "hard" type of material. It has a small flimsy feel to the lid. I hope it lasts a few years and doesn't fade too much in the sun. Overall, I am good with this product and but most glad that it is large and waterproof.
