Keter Plastic Storage Bench Outdoor

bought this as a storage box. I thought it looked neat, appearing to be a seat. I didn't really think I would use it. How wrong was I? This is extremely sturdy and strong. It looks good, it's actually very comfortable and where I have placed it catches the early morning light. I now find myself sitting outside in the morning with a coffee, watching the birds. Ironically, I have yet to use it for storage. Later in the day, when I'm looking for a little shade, this is again my seat of choice. Never expected it to be that good (and I have a garden full of seating to pick from). Assembly was mostly straightforward. The instructions are reasonably good, in a pictorial way. there was just one point where I had to stop and look to see how two bits slotted together. the way it is constructed gives it far more strength than I imagined possible. I am a big guy and it takes my weight no problem. We have yet to see any rain, but judging from the way it is put together, I would say that there's every chance this will keep most rain out. Time will tell, but I have high hopes. This was my first foray into plastic garden storage boxes, but if this is typical of the range, I'm going to be buying some more. Highly recommended as a seat, as a store. Read less
