Tangkula 46 Gallon Acacia Wood Deck Box, Garden Backyard Storage Bench, Outdoor Storage Container for Patio Furniture Cushions and Gardening Tools (Natural)

It didn't quite fit the all the new chair cushions (oddly enough, the reviewers of the cushions said they weren't puffy enough) but there were 8 (2 each for 3 rockers and 2 for adirondack chairs), so I decided to buy another one for more room, and to keep the hot tub stuff right by the tub. I can't speak to the weather proof aspect, but nothing lasts forever. I'll probably just oil them to extend their lives. The box is sturdy and the wood is much nicer looking than the plastic. And it's definitely a good deal for the price.Assembly is easy till one gets to the lid, but I realized that I had to screw in the big hinge so that the small hinges would line up. A fair amount of cursing escaped my mouth before I figured it out, but all in all it wasn't too hard to assemble. The instructions are very clear and easy to understand. As with some of the other reviewers, I'm a woman in my late 60s and 4'10" on a good day. I was able to wrangle it and am even going to try and get it outside by myself, though that could be lots of fun to watch. I received it really quickly and everything was included. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase.

Item arrived on time. The item is a well engineered kit with closely / accurately fitting parts. Easy to assemble in approx. 1/2 hour. Looks very nice and professional when properly assembled. Rugged and will support a very fair amount of weight. **Well worth the money.

Overall, I think this is a great value and would buy another one in in a bigger size and even take the time to buy the right screws. This is a nice looking box with a pretty ring to pull the lid open. It went together fairly easily--I'm not very strong and have a bad back, but I was able to get the whole box together except for the lid, then my husband helped and it went together in about 5 minutes.I disagree that the instructions are not good-the instructions are just pictures, but the parts are labeled in the pictures. I was worried when I saw picture instructions because I usually have a hard time with IKEA furniture, but if you just look carefully you can see which part is the top/bottom (bottom has an extra piece of wood for the bottom panel to sit on) and the proper way to orient the side panels (hinges are installed an inch or two closer to the back of the side panel). That said, I agree with the other reviewer about the screws being too small--even though the kit included enough screws, I couldn't get the included screws through the hinge openings. Until they fix this kit, I'd suggest getting 4 screws that have a smaller diameter than the M4x15mm screws they include. The other small screws worked fine for the hinges along the back panel and top panel.Also, super important--don't use a drill/driver to install then screws! Just like another reviewer said, you will crack the wood. The hand wrench they give you works fine and doesn't take long. You'll also need a Phillips head screwdriver. I don't know why they say you need a flat head and a hammer in the instructions; I didn't use those at all.Finally, measure your patio cushions if you're buying this to store them. This only stored 2/3 of my cushions because I had to put them in at an angle. I think the inside dimensions are only 16x15x40-something--long enough but not wide enough to lay them flat.

I have this on a a covered deck. It hold pillows and a radio I play out there. It looks great. Holding up well.

Great value for money!

I really liked this box at first. It looks good and I thought it was sturdy. Unfortunately it broke pretty easy and and the slats at the top fell through when sitting on it. I’m not a big person, only 135 and when I placed my knee upon it to grab something, not even my full weight it collapsed on the top where you sit. I am going to try and reinforce it myself but I don’t recommend this as a sturdy sitting option.

Arrived in good time and was not too heavy to move inside by myself. Assembly is simple and from previous reviews I knew to not over tighten the screws. It was assembled in 45 minutes. I did most myself and had help with holding the lid while I screwed the hinges on. I put up photos of how it looks assembled and how it looks after a coat of tung oil is applied. I think the tung oil wakes the natural colors of the wood just enough and provides a layer of protection against sun and any rain that reaches it on the porch.This is not a tool box or a work bench or a place to sit while putting on shoes. It’s just a decorative box that can withstand outdoors elements. I expect it will last many years if not abused. I plan to put another coat of tung oil on it and then put it outside.

This was fine (nothing too impressive for the money) until 4 weeks into owning it, when I sat down on it to tie my shoe. I am a 6'1", 190 lb man, so not a tremendous density of weight. Yet, when I sat on the closed lid it shattered as if it were made of balsa wood and I fell right into it. Shocked, I went back to the ad, to confirm exactly what I thought- that the ad states clearly that: "In addition to providing storage, this deck box can also be used as a bench, allowing you to get a good rest after gardening work. The seat is large enough for two people to sit together. It is a great addition to your backyard, garden, porch and other places.". Obviously, completely false advertising. Their service department hasn't written me back about remedying the situation, though I've been trying for a week.
