Bottom Line

Buyers love the real wood and galvanized hardware of this deck box, but it is not the most secure option thanks to its slotted design.

Pros

Crafted from solid Acacia wood. Features galvanized hardware, a slatted panel design, and a black steel weather-resistant seat. Comes with an assembly tool, and is generally easy to assemble. Rugged. Inner dimensions are 19 1/4" x 15 3/4" x 14 1/4". Bottom panel comes out for easy cleaning.

Cons

Slatted bottom lets in pests and water. Some reports that there are assembly issues due to poor wood machining.

    No matter what your outdoor living space looks like, almost everyone could use some additional seating and storage. Combining the two is a convenient and space-efficient way of making your yard or patio even more inviting. Some outdoor storage seats are made like benches with armrests and backs, making them very comfortable, but also heavy. When choosing an outdoor storage seat, the main factor you should take into account is what you have to store and how much seating you need. You can also pick seating based on your outdoor space’s style and decor, choosing colors and materials that enhance your existing furniture.
