Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First, let's set some realistic expectations. This is a resin outdoor bench for less than $100, it is not an heirloom piece that you will pass down for generations to come. For the price, the product delivers. We purchased this bench for outdoor storage of gardening hand tools and a few small outdoor toys. We have light to medium duty requirements for this piece and that's probably what it can handle. Heavy duty this bench is not. It assembles in a snap, literally, and although it is simple, you really need to take your time to ensure each piece is snug. I suspect those that complain about it falling apart may not have done so. It is worth it to reinforce the bottom with plywood if your surface is uneven or you anticipate storing heavy items. There are not many options for a deck box/bench combo, especially at this price point. If your needs are similar to ours, it is a worthwhile buy. Update will be posted after this summer and when the bench will see the most use, but we do not anticipate any issues. If this was helpful, please click YES below. Thanks and happy shopping!
