Keter Store-It-Out MAX 4.8 FT X 2.7 FT Durable Outdoor Storage Shed Made from Weather Resistant Resin 42 Cubic Feet Beige/Brown

This is exactly what I expected. I know there are a lot of reviews on here saying it is flimsy, thin, etc. I am not sure what people are expecting when they order one of these in the $100-200 range, but for me it met my expectations. I bought this to store my two girl's gymnastics mats in that they use outside. It is perfect for that use, and I imagine it would be perfect for garbage cans, recycling, toys/sports, etc. once it is together, it is reasonably solid. I would say the walls are about as rigid as a decent storage tote, albeit much larger obviously. The top is more substantial, and I really like the hydraulic pistons used as part of the hinge system - opening the top is very easy and gratifying. The door mechanism is a easy to operate, but don't expect some high end set of hinges and hardware - it is plastic, but solid.The backside is indeed black, and not cosmetically finished off. But otherwise it looks great.IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY NOTE - allow me to spare you the indignity I went through...part WLBM is a channel style metal-like bar...it is suppose to run along the top back of the unit, to reinforce and trim off the top lip. When it ships, it is literally inserted into the BOTTOM floor back channel. It absolutely looks like it could belong there (I even noticed it was in there). In fact, you can assemble the whole thing with it in there since it in itself is a channel. Then when I got to the part where you are actually suppose to assemble it on the top-back, of course I thought it was a missing part. I was annoyed but continued on with the assembly, which I was able to complete sans that top channel. I went online, started to request the missing part and then realized "oh wait, it only comes with one of these...that one in the bottom channel must have been it!". Sure enough, step one of the instructions actually shows that you should REMOVE the part from the back floor channel, not insert it! I was able to go out, and in less then 10 minutes loosen up the back enough to remove it and put it where it belongs. Don't be an idiot like me...Otherwise, assembly was really easy. I did it in less than an hour, in a very cold rain. What is nice is they engineered this such that there is only one type of screw...no hardware to figure out. I used a cordless driver...but be smart! If you choose to use a cordless driver, make sure you set the clutch on it so it stops when it hits the pressure of the plastic. That is the mistake people make, they use a driver full on or an impact driver and torque the screws right through - then complain that it is poorly built/designed. I had no problem assembling other than the aforementioned duh moment. Instructions were easy to follow. Anyone could assemble this with a screwdriver or cordless driver. Was an easy one person job, but two people would make it go super fast probably.I am a somewhat picky consumer when it comes to this stuff. I would prefer to stick build a storage closet myself out of lumber, but this was cheaper and quicker. We'll see how it stands up to the elements, and will post an update if needed.Easy assembly, looks good, reasonable quality so for the price, I highly recommend!

This was perfect for my bicycle. I currently live out of my RV and I dont have a good place to store my bicycle out of the weather. It's been a year and my poor bike has taken a beaten. So I decided to invest in this storage container. It is awesome! Fits my bicycle (front wheel off) nicely and neatly. For me this was a Win!Side Note: the instruction were ridiculous. Hard to follow the idiot stick figures. Also it is not the most sturdy of containers but for the price I am a happy customer.

After Reading reviews we were reluctant to purchase. Hopefully this review helps your decision. Ultimately your satisfaction of this product boils down to your expectations and needs for the storage unit. This is NOT the most durable product on the market by any means. If you are looking for heavy duty, I would suggest other brands. We were stuck with this make/model due to our necessity of size in width. We bought this to keep our Zero Gravity lawn chairs covered. This model is wider than most other brands. Our chairs are standard size, not XL. This unit perfectly fits the width of 2 chairs side by side and will easily hold 10 chairs total. (We are only storing 8, and have room for 2 more). The plastic is thinner than some, however it is not made of paper as some nearly describe. Once screws are in place it gains a little more rigidity. It goes up incredibly easy with just one person. As you can see in my pictures, there are two shelf supports on one side that were broken. For our purpose this plays no significance. The metal back support also arrived with a bend in it. We simply used a pair of pliers to straighten and it was perfect.Again, allow your expectations of use determine your purchasing decision. For us, simply storing some lawn chairs, this product should do the trick. As for it's longevity... TBD.

Nothing was broken. No missing parts. Even though the box looked like it was falling apart when delivered. Yes, mine came without the instructions. But you can find them online very quick. And it was rather easy to put together. Just look at the images in order, and pay attention when you see Exclamation mark. Yes, that metal bar has to COME OUT first - it goes at the top back, for reinforcement. It does NOT stay at the bottom. They just had to ship it that way.It helps to have a second person. I would say it took us 30-45 minutes. The only thing that slowed us down was the fact that our 8 year old wanted to help and use tools. Even he thought this was easy and quick. Keep your screw driver/drill straight. All parts are labeled on the plastic - look for L and R letters for left and right panels. Kook for arrows when the image shows arrows.Yes, few plastic pieces had extra material over where there should be a hole - a simple use of box knife took care of cutting out the extra plastic. Hinges work fine. Very simple to install them - there are preset holes and you just have to look at the image and follow.
