Garbage

Tops warp on the corners causing leaks. I called to see about warranty information which is on their website for 10 years. Had it 7 and they tell me not covered. I have bought several other Suncast products around the same time and they all suck. Garbage cans with warped tops and sides that warped. Garbage cans on my deck for 4 months a year same as the deck boxes and then stored in my shed. Save your money avoid this plastic garbage.

Suncast products are junk

I bought a Suncast deck box in 2021. By 2022 the the lid had warped. They sent a new one after I submitted receipt and pictures. The replacement lid began to warp in 2023 and completely warped in 2024. Suncast is refusing to replace this deck box that obviously has a product defect. The representative from Suncast was not going to work with me on this issue. I recommend to find a different storage box and company.

Poorly fitting parts

Assembly instructions poor. IKEA pictographs are far better. Had to enlarge predrilled holes in metal hinge support brackets because supplied screws were too big for manufactured drilled holes as supplied. Once assembled the locking mechanism prevented lid from closing all the way because front panel was warped so badly. Had to jury rig a pull handle on the front panel to pull it out allowing the lid to close. Would not recommend especially at this price range.

This box is awesome! The ease of putting it together was quite surprising whereby, it went together in about 15 minutes with normal tools. I did cheat and using an impact driver (carefully) to put the screws in. The directions were well written and easy to follow. My wife wanted a cabinet to use to store our pool supplies in to include a seat on our veranda - this was it. Highly recommend this product!

Pretty good

It was fairly easy to put together and I did it myself. It's not exactly what I wanted, but it will suffice and holds all my patio cushions with room to spare. I do like it just was hoping for something a little stronger, but for the money it is good.

Beware !!

The box is for deck cushions, it does the job, the problem is the instructions. I found when it came to installing the lift pistons, the instructions didn't explain properly and I wasn't able to install them. I'm handy and surprised I couldn't figure it out! I also found the snap together sides and bottom didn't lock. I had to use screws to keep them together. It does what I want it to do. Just be aware of the instructions. Look them up online to see if you can figure it out.....

We ordered the same deck box as we've had for years. We loved it because it protected our cushions from rain and elements. During our move it got cracked so I needed to purchase a new one. This one came on time, but when we assembled it we noticed it didn't have the same lid closure as our previous one. I'm considering of sending it back since I have insurance on it. The only way this new one will close is if we lock something where the padlock would go. We have no reason to use a padlock and would prefer to just keep is closed without the extra hassle. I'm not happy with this purchase.

This is our second time purchasing this item, a few years apart. We repurchased because we love the item. Lots of room, durable throughout the seasons. The new box has gone through significant cost-cutting exercises. The hinges are plastic instead of metal, there is less metal reinforcement throughout the box, and this has caused the top to misalign slightly with the base. I can still close the box with some work, but the prior version I could simply push it and it would self-close.

After five years it still looks brand new

I purchased this deck box over five years ago. It sits outside year round in direct sunlight, heavy rain, and snow. It still looks brand new, never leaks, and doesn’t rust. I store in it a couple of cushions, logs for the fire pit, a battery operated blower, a portable radio, and a small TV and everything is protected and dry. I highly recommend this deck box.

The box turned out to be very nice and practical. My problem was getting through the instructions. It took me 3 hours to get it together and I also had to replace one of the nuts because it was the wrong size. We are very happy with the deck box.

Summary: This is a a big, solid, and fairly good-looking storage box, with build quality that is rough around the edges, and a sometimes-frustrating assembly experience. At 134 gallons, this thing is huge. It is well-suited to storing a variety of yard items, from furniture and cushions, to towels, to gardening tools, and more. It looks decent. The single hue design leaves something to be desired, but the woven wood effect pattern makes it look probably as good as it can look for a big plastic box. The assembly process was a little annoying due to small inconsistencies in the instructions, and slightly shoddy build quality. For example, there are several holes that the instructions indicate should be pre-drilled, but aren’t. It’s not always super clear which specific piece should be used at each step, nor how to orient it, but presents no problems that are insurmountable. Once it is assembled, it feels quite sturdy. It can be carried by one person with straps or long enough arms, but I would recommend getting someone to help. Moving it solo can get tricky, especially in tight spaces. tl;dr: Assembly and quality aren’t perfect, but it’s a good storage option despite this.

Very heavy material and durable! I only gave 4 stars because the assembly was very time consuming. Lots of screws and hard to get the screws into the plastic. I still need help putting the lid on, but overall great product! This will be great to store outdoor items/gardening materials. The box also says you can use as a bench for extra seating - win win!

The 134 gallon extra large deck box is extremely easy to put together and very well-made. I love that it's all Weather construction provides water resistance, and UV protection. It's perfect to store pool equipment or toys. It's able to be padlocked and the lid is easy to operate because of the spring assisted mechanism. It's also very easy to keep clean. I would highly recommend this deck box to my family and friends.

Instructions say this deck box should "snap together," but the panels were warped when we got them. For the price, and given that Wayfair will not pay return shipping unless you buy the "protection," my husband is going to try to use vices and a mallet to assemble it, but it is going to be a horrible experience, even for an engineer. God knows what it will look like when he finishes. If you buy from Wayfair, buy the protection. Better yet, don't order from Wayfair.

I would not recommend

It is not easy to assemble. Step 1 did not align. You need a mallet with no instructions. There were more holes available on the brackets than the instructions stated. I finally completed it and the latch does not align or close. We purchased lawn furniture from Home Depot that we love so cushions can go I. This box. We saw positive reviews and purchased it. I tried several different locations for the screw but it did not close. I can make it close and seal but it is forced. I want a remedy.

This deck box has been great. Two 20 somethings put this together for me. I did not hear any complaining while putting it together. It was done in a jiffy. It has a hindge that helps keep the lid up when open and tight when closed. It is very roomy. It is pleasing to the eye. It has kept out the rain AND critters, which I have many. I am considering ordering anothe one of these.

Pathetic

I bought this storage box to keep cushions clean when not in use. When I opened the box to assemble I saw that the front side and back panels consisted of two pieces. The corners are simply thinly molded flexible plastic built into the blow molded panels. When examining the quality of the build it reminded me of a sandwich bag. Super thin, plastic that I could push in with my finger. Nevertheless I push forward and assembled the piece. Assembly is very easy since there are only a few screws and metal stakes that hold it together. I hoped that when it was assembled it would have some structural integrity. It does not.

My husband and I put the box together and neither of us is very handy. Once we got the hang of it, we had no problems. The top does not always perfectly line up with the latch when we close it, but we don’t lock it so it doesn’t matter to us. The box is sturdy and our furniture cushions fit perfectly for storage. A very good purchase!

Good size, waterproof and looks great!

I put this together by myself. It would have been helpful to have another pair of hands. I do really like this deck box. It has been raining alot here and no water has been entering the box. Please have someone help hold the lid during installation. The panels slide around. Do not put the metal piece(used to lock it) on the lid until you have the lid attached to the box. The instructions have you installing it earlier. The metal piece was sharp and pointed. It dug into my body scrapping me badly when the lid slipped a few times trying to attach it.

I love this storage box! It is the perfect size to fit all of my outdoor cushions. I ordered the Stoney color and it matches the furniture nicely. Assembly was fairly simple, taking no longer than 30 minutes. It only a week old but I feel as if it will be sturdy and true to the advertised weather resistant status. Great addition to my patio!
