Rubbermaid Patio Storage Bench Review

Rubbermaid Patio Storage Bench
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The last review I saw said there were no instructions to put the bench together. First of all, there are instructions on the box! (You have to be smarter than the bench.) Second, there are 5 or 6 giant pieces that just snap together. There's no hardware, no tools necessary. My 9 year old helped me put it together.
As for how well it works, I haven't had any trouble with water getting in, so maybe the person who couldn't figure out how to put it together put it together wrong. It has plenty of storage space for my charcoal and other grilling supplies as well as a few other patio items I wanted to store.
My only disappointment is that the storage space wasn't large enough for my swing cushions, but that is fine. I mostly wanted it for my grilling supplies anyways.
It seats at least two people comfortably and seems pretty stable. Also it looks nice on the patio unlike just getting a large storage box.

Suncast Deck Box Review

Suncast Deck Box
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We purchased the Suncast DB5000 Deck Box over a year ago. I'm pleased to report that it has held up to the Houston heat, humidity, and rain extremely well. This is a great box for storing all of those "miscellaneous things" that tend to clutter one's patio. Only one disappointment: we recently purchased patio furniture, and this box is not big enough to hold any of the cushions. So if you are thinking about buying this for patio cushions, be sure to measure your cushions FIRST and compare it against this box's inner dimensions. But in terms of functionality, and keeping things neat and waterproof, this box is a wonderful asset!!

Suncast DB9750 Extended Deck Box / Seat Review

Suncast DB9750 Extended Deck Box / Seat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this to store all of my patio furniture cushions.
I was able to fit the following:
* 4 chair seat bottoms
* 1 lower 2-seater bench cushion
* 1 thick 2-seater back bench cushion
* 2 large swivel chair bottom cushions
* 2 thick swivel chair back cushions
These cushions max out every inch of the space inside, but it is exactly'
what I wanted.
The only complaint I have is the cheesy plastic loops that "help" keep the lid open.
This was a very cheap solution. I own other containers like this that actually have
a gas stay inside. I would have paid a few dollars more to have a better device like that.
Sadly, no one else makes a container this big. So this is kind of your only choice out there.
Another note, if you are going to put this beside a wall, it will have to sit several inches
away from the wall to allow the lid to open all of the way. This item is so huge, it is kind of a bummer
that the design forces you to have it out so far from the wall. My house is made of stucco, so repeated
banging into the wall creates bald spots on the stucco, this is a problem for us.
It was super easy to put together. I was done in just a few minutes. Don't worry about all of those complaints.
If you need a lot of storage, you can't do better than this one. Size is it's strength.
Just remember, you are not paying for something made of bricks, it is inexpensive and made of plastic.
If you keep this in mind, you will not be disappointed.

Suncast Horizontal Storage Shed Review

Suncast Horizontal Storage Shed
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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!

Suncast SS1000 Storage Seat Review

Suncast SS1000 Storage Seat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Though this is not a toy box (by which I mean it does NOT include safety features like air holes), it was a cheap solution to my toddler's accumulation of messy looking toys in the backyard. I didn't want to carry dirt-encrusted toys into my house, and I couldn't stand to look at them any longer.
This comes flat. I assembled it myself in a few minutes without tools. It takes heavy pressure to pop the pieces together, but an average woman like myself can manage it. It looks fine, but it is not perfectly square and smooth. The plastic sides are thin enough that they can flex a bit and be slightly bowed.
The lid is not hinged. It simply sits on top of the box. The lid is not water-tight. If you store it in the open outdoors, objects inside will get wet/damp when it rains. For plastic toys, this hasn't been a problem for me.
An average size adult can sit on the lid and use it as a bench. It is only wide enough for one person. I don't know the maximum weight limit, but we've put about 175 pounds on it. It is slightly shifty/wobbly, so I wouldn't let a really large person sit on it, nor would I let a child climb on it as a toy. The lid could shift, etc.
I like it well enough that I'm considering getting a larger (wider) box like this for our front porch to hide a snow shovel and sand in the winter, and our beach toys and broom in the summer. I'm trying to find one assembled in a store to check out first, however, because a larger bench could be dangerous unless it is built a bit more sturdily than this small one.
***EDIT TO ADDRESS COMMENTS***
Several comments a year and a half after my original review complain that my review differs from their own experience of the box. Perhaps the box design changed between my initial review in 2005 and the product people received in 2007 and later? My box does not have a hinged lid, and a bit of water continues to enter the box, especially during wind-driven rain or snow that comes in at a low angle. The box is still in my yard, still holds an average adult with just a slightly wobbly bit of shifting, and it has lasted through over five years of New England weather very well.
I am very comfortable assembling DIY products and I follow directions precisely. I still recommend this box, and I'm happy to hear that it seems to be even better now than the one I got that has been so durable.

Suncast DB8000B Deck Box with Wheels Review

Suncast DB8000B Deck Box with Wheels
Average Reviews:

We bought the Deck Box specifically to use as an outdoor toy box for our children. As such it is everything we wanted. The plastic seems strong enough to last awhile and yet it's light enough to move around. The lid isn't too heavy and won't hurt little fingers too badly if they're caught. Assembly gets highest marks, my 6 year old and I had it done in under 5 minutes. Pieces are clearly marked and it literally snaps together. We're considering another for a separate area of the play yard.

Rubbermaid 5E39 Extra Large Deck Box with Seat Review

Rubbermaid 5E39 Extra Large Deck Box with Seat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like this box. It was easy to assemble within a few minutes. There are optional accessories to divide the inside, but none are included with this box. The assembled box is large enough to fit standard-sized garden tools, such as rakes, hoes, etc.
It has been in my back yard, under my second-story porch for the two months now. I put all my lawn-care equipment (sprayers, insecticides, tools, etc.) in it. None of them has gotten wet despite a few very heavy downpours. There is a place on the handle to apply a lock if you so choose.
It is not "airtight" so I imagined insects might make their way inside, but so far that hasn't happened. Maybe because I don't keep any food in it, or maybe the platic smell is a repellant.
It is definitely sturdy enough to sit on.
You can't push this box flush with a wall because it needs about three inches of clearance behind it to allow for opening it without scrating the rear of the top.
All in all, a good purchase. Amazon's price is also perfect. I compared to my local Lowes, and Amazon's price is better - and with free shipping and no tax. Can't beat that!
