★★★★☆
Decent storage - one significant design flaw that can be fixed by the purchaser.
This was one of the very few outdoor storage boxes that fit our needs for storage, which was just a normal push lawnmower, weedwacker, and a few garden tools. Most other options were too small for the mower or else we were into shed territory, which we really didn't want.
Assembly was fairly simple, though if you opt to install shelves, which the shed is designed to accommodate, please note that the length measurements are incorrect. Measure before you cut!
As other reviewers have noted, the hinge/lid design has an inherent design flaw in that it uses some pretty small screws that are prone to being ripped out due to the stresses imparted on them when the lid is operated (and exacerbated if the lid is heated by the summer sun). During assembly, rather than install it using their hardware, I recommend drilling the holes all the way through and using bolts (I used 8-32 x 1.5" stainless steel) with large washers to secure the lid to the hinges. This solves the concern of ripping the screws out and the washers distributes the stress to a wider area. There are probably other things you could find at home depot or lowes that could be used to reduces the stress even further.
I don't think the lid issue should be a deal breaker if this is the storage solution that meets your needs. Just be aware of it and spend the $8 or so extra on the bolts to mitigate the issue during assembly.
