## Description

Need to expand your patio storage, but have limited space available? Store your things outside in a Lifetime storage box. The rigid, double-wall, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) construction makes the box strong and durable. It’s UV-protected construction, and the weather and water resistant seal helps keeps the interior dry. The spring-hinge lid opens greater than 90°, won’t slam shut, and is lockable.

Review: Wir haben die Box zum verstauen von Sitzkissen und Rückenkissen unser Sitzgruppe gekauft. Endlich bekommen wir alles bequem unter und die Kissen sind zu jeder Jahreszeit geschützt. Mäuse haben auch keine Chance mehr zu knabbern. Die Box hat eine sehr gute Qualität und lässt sich auch zum Sitzen nutzen, ist allerdings etwas hoch. Duch die Druckfedern ist das Öffnen des Deckels leicht. Sie lässt sich auch mit einem Anhängeschloss verschließen. Wir sind mit der Box sehr zufrieden.
Review: This is my third one. One i have is about 20 years old, been through rain, ice, snow and a tornado. The tornado punched about a two inch hole in it but I patched it and quite frankly you can't tell where it was. I'm 65, put it together alone. I did have to stand it up on the floor edge to drive the front and rear panels in securely, other than that, no problem. It's been sat on by 2 adults. I've used it as a work bench. My stuff inside has stayed dry. Right now it's spent the last 4 years in Florida's heat and rain, hurricane and tornado. I wish there was a larger one of this quality that could also be sat on. I wasn't willing to take a chance on some of the others. 20 years later the new one is just like my first.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***N on 5 July 2021*

I was hesitant to buy this after reading several others reviews. Specifically reviews about the top warping and people saying the hardware was the wrong size... couldn't get the gas struts to snap on, etc. The box is heavy duty injection molded plastic. So, the tolerances are not going to be to a thousandth of an inch. But, with a little coaxing in a couple places it went together without issue. I did it on a 93 degree day on the shaded area of my paver patio in Florida, in about an hour, including time to assemble my tools and unbox the parts. The box as designed will not be waterproof... In that, if it sits in standing water... the water will get in. I've had it out in some good strong rains in Florida, sitting on my paver deck, and I've never found water inside. With a driving rain, perhaps a small amount might be able to seep in, but I've not experienced it. I don't see how the other reviewer had the lid warp. There is a heavy piece of metal that is screwed in place along the top front edge, that would resist the kind of warping they showed in their picture. Either Lifetime updated their design, or the reviewer failed to install the metal brace! When installing the screws, I highly recommend a socket wrench, or a socket adapter for a cordless drill. When tightening fasteners, just snug them down into place. Too tight and you could strip them out into the plastic. The gas struts snapped into place on the hinges. I simply snapped one end on the ball joint on the hinge attached to the lid, and then moved the angle of the lid until the bottom end of the strut lined up with the ball joint on the other end of the hinge and snapped it into place. I'm no "Muscle Bound He Man"... after doing the first one I remarked to my wife about the issues the other reviewer had. She wanted to have a try, so I had her do the other one. She did it easily without needed guidance or tools. She is not a body builder either! LOL When installing the front and back into the base, use a rubber mallet to coax things into place like instructed, or a small piece of 2x4 (or other wood) to protect the plastic if using a standard hammer. You have to get some tabs to go into a slot, and then slide them. When installing the front and back to the base I found that giving a couple whacks with a rubber mallet, then setting it on it's side to make sure all the tabs were located correctly and sliding in the slots. Then I left it sitting on the right side, and moved them fully into place by tapping on the top left with the rubber mallet.... gravity helps you a bit this way. Assembly does require a little skillfully applied force in some areas. If you have 7/16, 3/8 & 1/2 sockets and wrenches, a phillips #2 screwdriver, and either a rubber mallet or hammer and small block of wood to use when hitting the plastic, you should be fine.
