Suncast13 Gallon Resin Outdoor Storage End Table with Hinged Stay-Dry Lid for Outdoor Furniture, Pool Toys, and Patio Cushions, Java

Assembly instructions are incorrect at end. As others have described, there is a metal bracket for the lid that does not appear to be a correct part. If you follow the instructions, you can't screw in the screws, because the driver or drill can't access the area...wrong metal bracket or bad design? Also, provided screw shank is too large to fit thru the holes, making it impossible to assemble. At first, I just thought I didn't understand the instructions, but it's not possible to complete because the INSTRUCTIONS are wrong. The bar doesn't fit where the instructions say. They explain to attach this bar to the lid before attaching the lid to the box. The lid can be attached before or after attaching the bar, as the bar should not be attached to the lid at all. Instead, attach the long bar to the top of the front panel. Fit it over the existing plastic ridge (doesn't need to fit perfectly.) Attach the screws thru the small rectangular opening/slots on each end of the bar, not thru round holes. Lastly, the small latch piece can then be attached to the bar with a screw thru to the unit. Two stars because Suncast hasn't taken any step to fix the situation. Suncast, please fix the situation with a label or insert, new instructions, or put something on your website. Showing assembly on YouTube would be smart.

Nice little storage box. Perfect match for the chairs we have. Unfortunately, NOT easy to assemble (difficult instructions and badly illustrated). I had to use a rubber mallet to pound the sides/front/back pieces together. Additionally, although some of the screw holes are pre-drilled, you still have to force the screws into un-drilled hard plastic to join the bottom piece to the sides/front/back (there's just an indentation where the screw is supposed to fit). Some of the screws, especially for the lid, were impossible to insert because the screws were too large for the pre-drilled holes. We ended up not using the clip-down edging for the lid. The lid just sits on top of the box. Obviously, we can't overfill the box or the lid won't stay on. We probably would NOT ever purchase another Suncast Elements product that is not already assembled. Quality control pretty bleak!Other than that, this little box holds 3-20x20 cushions when not in use on our chairs.

I really like the two I purchased for our patio. I bought them with the intent of using them to place my fire pit table cover in one and the large umbrella cover in the other. They work out perfect for them. In fact I could probably put both in one and use the other for summer yard items / play items. The only thing we did different was something that other people mentioned and that is with the cover being hard to open we removed the latch. Yes, the latch is VERY hard to open. I believe they do that so little kids don't try to open them and crawl in. We took the front latch/hook off and it works perfect for us now and it is heavy enough to stay down without a latch. They are also pretty easy to put together but as others mentioned you need an electric drill as the holes are not drilled and you have to drill them as you are placing the screws in. If you don't have electric drill it will take probably hours to put it together. It took about 20 minutes for the first one with the cordless electric drill.

I read the past reviews, but I have power screwdrivers and I can put things together fairly easily. I purchased one and it took me about 15-20 minutes to assemble. Works great as you can put lots of outdoor items in it. So i purchased a 2nd one and it only took around 10 minutes. The only thing was I could not finish as one hinge was missing. That's the reason for 4 stars. I called the company and they are sending it out. A couple of the screws for the hinges will go in at an angle as they are not straight on. But this does not affect how they are mounted. My latch works fine. It is just a pressure latch. Not one where you push a button to release. You just have to pull the cover up with a little extra force. You definitely need a power screwdriver with 2 extensions as that makes the bottom screws go in straighter.

Nice side table. With this small table, however, the "weave" trim around the edge seems to catch a lot of debris. Probably more noticeable because it's (a) smaller so proportionally larger area to catch dust and outdoor debris, and (b) closer because it's right next to the chairs. Still like it very much with the set though. Keep drip system repair and replace supplies inside - tubing, connectors in a fishing tackle case, other equipment. Surprised it all fit easily!

Easy to assemble, clear instructions, fit and finish were ok for a sub-80 unit. I did not need a mallet. I guess they changed instructions and maybe some parts because I had no trouble assembling the unit. I did use a drill, though. It would be tough with a screwdriver only, I think. Some screws were a bit awkward to place, but I had no issues screwing them at a slight angle. Took me about 10 min. Was slightly smaller than expected, so check the dimensions.

What a great value! Easy assembly and VERY sturdy! I was looking for a "deck box" for storage, but everything I found was just too large.! These are perfect. I added a simple cushion and voila- additional seating...and plenty of room inside to store patio furniture covers or pillows during wet weather. I ordered a second one right after the first one arrived! They solved the problem beautifully without taking up a lot of room. The finish looks great with dark wicker or any dark color furniture. I would highly recommend these!

Very easy to assemble but it might take 2 people for the lid. I would recommend that you use a drill gun instead of a screwdriver.

Assemble easy, very durable, good product

Great looking. Goes well with my wicker furniture The delivery was a bit slow and th box is just a bit smaller tha I expected

One word.... perfect!, really though perfect side table, perfect storage box and keeps things dry in the rain.

Really solid well built, probably will last for years. Great place to store ropes on our boat
