The media could not be loaded. 1. PROBLEM I WAS TRYING TO SOLVE: I needed a durable storage solution for our patio that could handle all types of weather and keep things dry and organized. It also had to be lightweight enough to move around when needed and offer ample space for patio cushions and gardening tools. 2. DID IT SOLVE THE PROBLEM? Absolutely. After 3 years, the Suncast 73-Gallon Medium Deck Box has far exceeded my expectations. Through heavy storms, relentless sun, and even snow, it has kept everything inside completely dry and protected. 3. ADDITIONAL BENEFITS: This box is versatile beyond just storage. We’ve used it as an extra seat on the patio during gatherings, and it’s surprisingly sturdy. The mocha brown finish blends seamlessly with our outdoor decor, making it functional and stylish. Despite being lightweight, the resin material is impressively weather-resistant and holds up to wear and tear. 4. WOULD I PURCHASE AGAIN? Without a doubt. After 3 years of constant use, it’s still in great shape. It’s rare to find outdoor furniture that performs this well through all the elements, so I’d happily buy another if needed. 5. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: This deck box has been a lifesaver for outdoor organization. Whether storing patio cushions, gardening tools, or even some pool toys, it keeps everything neat and dry. I’ve been impressed with its durability and how easy it is to maintain. 6. FINAL THOUGHTS: If you’re looking for a lightweight, weather-resistant, and reliable storage solution, the Suncast 73-Gallon Medium Deck Box is an excellent choice. It’s a great investment for anyone who wants to keep their outdoor space organized while also having the option for extra seating. 7. TIPS FOR POTENTIAL BUYERS: • Make sure to place it on level ground to keep it stable if you plan to use it as a seat. • If you live in a particularly windy area, you might want to secure it, as it’s lightweight enough to shift in extreme conditions. • Regularly wipe down the exterior to keep it looking new, and consider adding a small lock if storing valuables. This deck box has been an outdoor essential for us, and I highly recommend it to anyone needing reliable storage that stands up to the elements! Read more
I'm writing this in December 2018 and bought it back in 2014. I was recommending a deck box to a friend and looked up the one we bought on Amazon. I couldn't believe it was 4 years ago! I figured I've got to write a review because it's been a fantastic item and is as good as new 4 years later. The deck box came with all the necessary parts and pieces and easy to follow instructions. It was like a snap-together toy for adults and putting it together was straightforward and satisfying (you feel like you "built" something while all you did was an adult-sized snap-together project LOL!). The quality of this deck box is superb. It has held up to North-East coastal weather extremes - snow, sleet, ice and rain in the winter and heat, sun and humidity in the summer (we're a little over a mile off the coast). It sits outdoors on a porch and keeps everything inside it nice and dry. Our deck box gets a lot of use, is opened and closed daily and has held up really well. It has these sturdy plastic strips inside the lid that keeps the lid from opening too far and falling backwards. They serve a great function and have held up nicely as well. The basket weave pattern is pleasant and classy. It does not look cheap at all, which it easily could have. The brown color (they call it "mocha") is a dark brown color that goes well with a brick and concrete porch. It looks and functions exactly as it did the day we put it together which is simply fantastic. I highly recommend this to anyone considering a deck box. Read more
I ordered this deck box to store seasonal decorations and tools that I use in my front yard and on the front porch. It holds so much! It really is waterproof and looks great! It's sturdy, the pieces fit together perfectly and it has stood up to several Pacific Northwest rain storms - keeping the contents totally dry. I have dark brown 'wicker' furniture on my deck and this goes very nicely with that. It's definitely sturdy enough for an above average weight adult, (over 200 lbs), or two average sized teenagers, to sit on safely and comfortably. I will be ordering a second deck box for my back yard to hold bar-b-que tools, outdoor dishes, etc., and also for extra seating. I ordered a much smaller version of this for our front porch, to hold shoes and it also looks great although the sides don't come together quite as tightly as they do on this 73 gallon version - no leaks so far on that one either. In summary, it looks great, functions great and the price is great. Fast, free delivery and easy to assemble - you need two people to put it together just to hold the pieces in proper alignment. Enjoy! Read more
