Sized to accommodate two 45-gallon garbage cans, lawn mowers, and kids' bikes, the unit provides a secure, weather-proof way to organize. The lift-up lid features a helpful prop rod, while a foot latch and padlock hasp secure the double doors. The unit's ramp makes rolling items in and out easy, and built-in supports let you add a wood shelf for double-decker storage.

 THIS is the storage chest you need! |
| Review Date: June 24, 2002 |
| Reviewer: Soozie4Him, Chicago suburbs |
| Our family bought some new patio furniture this year, and now we have 4 chair cushions, 1 chaise lounge cushion, and 3 cushions that go on our new 3-person swing! Leaving them out isn't an option if you want them to stay nice, and storing them in the house or garage and bringing them out when you want to sit down isn't very practical. So I started looking for storage chests. My husband didn't believe that Amazon would carry such items, but being a long-time Amazon-shopper, I know that it's the first place to go for info and reviews on good products to buy! I saw that smaller storage chests are just too small. One of them had a number of reviews saying that you can't even put cushions to 4 chairs in there. I knew we needed something bigger. We are thrilled with this storage chest. My husband said it was a pleasure to put together - ridiculously easy - no tools required and the plastic pieces just snap together! I wish I could say the same for the rest of our patio furniture! Also, this item is extremely well-made. You can open the lid, or prop the lid up with the stick provided (like a grand piano's small stick) and open the doors. You can also put a padlock on it. This is an attractive addition to our patio and it holds our 8 cushions with room to spare! Enjoy your summer on the patio! |
Good product but a lot for shipping - my mistake

| The product is just fine. I could have purchased a different brand of the same thing at a local Lowes Hardware for an extra $20.00 and saved $25.00 on shipping. The reason I bought it was because I thought I was gaining a few inches in depth that would have been helpful. Turns out the measurements were exactly the same. The advertised measurements were outside vs inside. |
Good feel to the material, easy assembly, attractive and solid

The title says it all. After reading the other glowing reviews and comparing prices, I decided it was almost a wash price-wise to buy online vs local. The box it comes in is large and somewhat awkward so I decided to let UPS deliver it! It came with a minor amount of box scuffs but the product inside was fine. (If you live upstairs, the delivery will be a little tricky.) The large box can later be used to slide several kids down a grassy hill together.
The plastic material is a good color and very tough. It is well finished and designed to be stiff but also flexible. The pieces were all straight and fit together very well. I had the whole thing together (with a hand from my 8 yr old) in about 10 minutes. It is best to assemble the unit where you intend to have it live since it is pretty big. Where I installed it, I have a rock wall that protrudes out around it on each side. It was 2" too big and I crammed it in anyway. I must have beat and slammed on this thing for 20 minutes and I finally got it in there to find it just wouldn't work well. I then spent another 15 minutes getting it out. After all was said and done, the thing works as if I had never abused it at all!! Very resilient!!
I used this storage unit as on outside "dumpster" to store trash bags in so I don't have to step around them and have the smell in the garage anymore during the summer. It cleans out great with the hose and it comes with a "prop bar" that slides down inside one wall to hold up the lid if necessary. The front splits and opens up barn door style and the door design works very well, the doors can be removed easily too.
I built a 2x6 wood base on the bottom to give it more stability and weight but that isn't required. There are 4 spots already molded in the floor of the unit for bolts if you like. There is also a spot on the back walls for a 12" shelf about 12" or so from the top if this is desired.
All in all a great purchase, I wish this had been available a long time ago!
UPDATE JAN 2009:
Unit is still in great shape after a couple years of outdoor use. I am still happy with the purchase and it has served its light duty "dumpster" purpose very well. It cleans up easily from grease or other trash related messes. Overall, this continues to be a winner and should last for many years to come.
Minor Use and Foundation Notes: The unit really needs to be on a level surface. My son uprooted the stakes I had it anchored with and until I got it re-anchored, the lid/doors wouldn't shut right. In addition, my wife has a hard time keeping the lid secured in the back due to opening it up too far and then not shutting it right. I routinely have to re-open it, re-seat the rear hinge and then close it. In essence, you need two hands to close it right and it requires a little attention due to the removable nature of the lid and the "prop-bar/kickstand" on the right front. This isn't a huge problem, just something to keep in mind if it will be used by kids or lots of people who won't pay much attention to this. |
Nice storage unit

Very nice outdoor storage unit. Super easy to assemble. We purchased this shed to store pool chemicles. Since it is made entirely from a cast plastic, with no metal components, it is perfect to meet our needs. Pool chemicls tend to corrode metal very quickly.
**Update. Unit is still in very good condition after almost 3 years. |
Very practical

| I needed enclosed storage for all of my supplies and feed that I use with my goats. This unit does everything that I need, with room to spare. |
