Product Description
Amazon.com Review
At almost four and a half feet wide, this roomy chest is perfect for storing pool toys, seat cushions, gardening supplies, or muddy boots. Plus, it works beautifully as outdoor seating. Drainage grooves built into the top, and open slats in the bottom allow moisture to escape, and wet gear to dry. The bench is made in the USA from solid Western red cedar with durable, plated hardware specially-coated to resist rust. A UVA-protectant, oil finish brings out the wood's natural beauty while shielding it from the damaging effects of sun. (Over time, the wood will fade to silvery gray, though periodically re-applying stain will maintain its original finish.) Cedar absorbs and loses moisture slowly and is naturally decay- and insect-resistant--making it ideal for outdoor use. This item measures 51 by 26-3/8 by 25-1/8 inches. Simple assembly is required. --Mary Park

Great appearance, but difficult to assemble,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Woods 1695 Cedar Storage Bench (Lawn & Patio)
The storage chest arrived in a timely manner and looks great. However, when assembling, the holes didn't match up and had to be redrilled. The hinges weren't right, and we had to buy different hinges. It wasn't worth the hassle!

Don't Buy This Defective Product,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Woods 1695 Cedar Storage Bench (Lawn & Patio)
I wish I had read the other reviews before ordering this piece of crap cedar storage bench. This is anything except "easy to assemble" as there were two holes predrilled incorrectly, and the interlocking anchors make it quite difficult to re-drill the holes (which I managed to do with some difficulty). In addition, the hinges provided either do not fit the job, or again the specs of this need-to-assemble storage box were off so that you have to cut several corner pieces to allow the top to seat correctly in place. I can say that this is the worst example of engineering thatI have ever seen. Moreover, I had also ordered two of the planter-trellances, which began to fall apart as I assembled it (requiring additional glueing and additional screws just to keep it together). No more purchases from this company for me!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: American Woods 1695 Cedar Storage Bench (Lawn & Patio)
I opted on this storage chest because I didn't want to spend the money on a teak chest. I found this one, thought it was attractive and large enough for our needs. It took 3 times as long as it should have to assemble. The pre-drilled holes did not line up. We had to purchase new hindges. It arrived with no slated bottom for ventilation. We called the manufacuturer and they are supposed to ship us on one. We'll see if it arrives. I don't recommend this product unless you're willing to work to get it together. The quality is a little cheap as well. But if you're not that picky, then it should be just fine.
Noted Added 08/28/04: The manufacturer shipped out the missing part promptly. We are pleased with their customer service on this product.
