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

This is a nice box. We purchased it with the intent of keeping our summer bags and towels in one place. We are using it indoors. It was really easy to assemble it, basically you just connect the walls together with screws, then you add the mechanism, screw in the lid and finally drop in the bottom part. 10-15min tops. They provide all hardware. I love the smell of wood also, which is nice and smooth. The lid has a nice round metal piece for opening. It’s mentioned in the instructions book that if used outdoors after a while if you want to keep the wood vibrant and to protect it you can re-coat it with something like tung oil or similar. It fits everything that we intended to keep in it. It’s a nice box and I preferred it over a plastic one indoors.

This did not disappoint. Beautiful color and very sturdy. I am going to put.casters on it for easier movability.I would definitely recommend. Nice size and good storage.

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.

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.

The media could not be loaded. The bottom is open throughout intentionally. This wasn’t apparent in the product photos.Also the lid stays open, but when you begin to close it, it slams shut — not ideal for kids. I don’t know if the hinges are supposed to stop that.One of the hinges arrived damaged so IDK. Otherwise, the wood and color is nice.

Really nice bench. Love the way it looks and it was relatively easy to put together with clear instructions

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.

Kept under my porch for storage and as a coffee table. Love it and so do the cats!
