I really like this deck box. This meets a great deal of my needs on my back deck. I have one next to my grill which serves as a table while I am grilling, extra seating and naturally, storage. I have an additional one for gardening supplies. The grilling one holds several long-handled grilling tools, cleaning supplies, bowls, plates and serving supplies. It also holds some sunblock, first aid kit, citronella candles, etc. Essentially, it holds a lot that you would want handy on the deck. The gardening one holds pots, gardening tools, bags of soil, orchid bark, sand and salt for breaking up ice, etc.
I am a believer that even your storage containers should look like furniture and that your outdoor space is an extension of your home, so I appreciate that these are attractive as well as spacious, useful, convenient, and sturdy. They were really easy to assemble as well. They are also pretty secure from curious wild animals and have a tight closure to keep out inclement weather. I haven't had them tested in the snow and freezing cold yet, but I am confident that they will handle it. I'm really glad that I bought these and when I have enough money, I will splurge for the larger version so that I can store outdoor games and beach/pool accesories in them.
