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.
