YITAHOME 31 Gallon Outdoor Storage Box

Pros - Great Price - Easy to Assemble - Great Looks Cons - Not as Sturdy as I would have liked I bought this to replace my pool chemical box that was probably 16 years old and had seen better days (it came with the house). My lawn crew had eaten a couple of holes in the corner with the weed eater, so it was time to replace it. I searched many different products and did not want to spend $300+, so I settled on this container for its price and aesthetics. When I received the box I was surprised by its light weight. All of the parts were there and carefully packaged. I highly recommend studying the instructions COMPLETELY before assembling. The instructions are nothing but pictures with only a few cautionary notes. They kept saying to use a rubber mallet, but I just used my hands to snap/pop it all together. While putting it together I was concerned that the box was not very sturdy, but as I finished up I saw that it was better than I originally believed. Assembly time was less than 45 minutes and I had no help. If you use a drill to drive the screws, make sure that you do NOT over-tighten the screws. I has mine set to release on a scale of 3 out of 10 and still stripped 2 or 3 screws. I found that if it is on a flat surface it is pretty stable and strong. If it is not on a flat surface the box will get wonky and the top not lay flat. I do not recommend sitting on the top hinged lid. The lid is still a little too flexible for my taste, so only lift it from the middle. The piston hinges work very well, but I am sure that eventually the chlorine will corrode them up as was the case with the previous box. Because it needs the flat surface, I bought three 8-foot cedar 2x4's and cut them to build a frame (55-1/2" x 26") with an longitudinal center board to support to bottom of the box. If you are not going to set this on flat cement, then I highly recommend building this frame. After placing it on the ground and leveling (very important), I secured the box to the frame with screws and large washers along the center board at the bottom of the box. The frame raises the box up off the ground and hopefully will protect it from the weed eater. I do plan on mounting aluminum plates to the frame at the corners for protecting the wood from the weed eater. All in all, a good buy.

So easy to assemble! These are sturdy and very nice looking. I bought 3 and definitely happy I did. Easy to use, waterproof. Did I say super easy to assemble? 6 parts, marked with the part number and great visual instructions. Great buy.

Love this. Easy to put together and good instruction book. Perfect for our company porch. We keep cushions in one and games and various items in the other. They make great side tables to the chairs to set drink & plates on.

Great size, the lid stays open when putting items inside but closes easily, the cost was reasonable, it was easy to put together and love that it is waterproof because of recent flooding here in FL. I would have given it a 5 star rating but the left rear corner of the lid was cracked when we opened the box and a piece broke off but since it is covered by a cushion and is being used indoors for storage it is less work to just repair it than to send it back for replacement.

So far so good. Although for outdoor use I use these in my garage and this one specifically I needed for my closet to store away some items. Sturdy. Can add a lock if I wanted. Great for organizing. Has a lot of depth. Easy to assemble. The instructions were easy to read. I would buy again

If you take the assembly slowly and carefully - using your brain - despite the terrible instructions and pictures it is very easy to put together. It would be easier with two, but I did it fine by butting it up to the side of the house to hold the lid up while I attached it. Once together it is quite lovely. Looks fancy and way more expensive than it is. The 120-gallon one is super spacious and watertight. I am going to spray inside and out with natural anti-rodent and wasp spray just to be sure, but I am excited to not have to replace stuff next season because it's been eaten or otherwise ruined by either the weather or living pests. The damper lid hinges are the icing on the cake. It's super sturdy and can be used as extra seating. Highly recommend.

First, this was inexpensive..........still.......it ain't exactly as great and sturdy as they say it will be. The instructions consists of drawings of parts with arrows to show which way is up. The instructions could be very much clearer if they would show more detail on what clicks with what. AND, it doesn't easily snap together. It requires some heavy heavy pushing. Maybe for a man it is easy, but I had to put full body weight to get some parts to SNAP easily in place (hah). I FINALLY got bottom and all the sides but the front side together after some cussing under my breath and thinking about how much it would cost in gas $$ and my time to return the thing boxed up to UPS to return............NOT worth it. So, got that front put on and I noticed a portion of it was split..........I didn't do it it came that way.....the split part was a bottom corner. rats. I still managed to snap the front in and got the top on...got out my extreme super glue and covered that split part to hopefully keep it together. Would I recommend it? I would with extreme caution about who is putting it together and check parts over before starting to see about cracks. I only plan to put my accessories for my grills in the thing on my newly remodeled patio and deck.......I wish I had just paid for an old wood chest, sanded and painted it, and put it out there.........it would look better, hold up forever, and would be way easier than snapping this thing together. I do like the 30 gal. size. I will use it till I get a wood chest at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore...........

Was the most annoying thing to put together. I had to ask my kid to leave so I wouldn't say something bad when trying to put it together. It is not easy to "snap" into place. Because the pieces are light weight they're also wobbly, so you have to keep it straight, steady, and try to angle it into a resistant slot just to get it to fit. And on the second to last piece the sides went in and not the middle which meant I had to hit it too far forward and back until it eventually lucked into place. I did eventually get it, but not without threatening the universe creatively and a great deal of frustration. The box itself is lightweight, which is nice, water resistant sure, but the lid is definitely not secure. A raccoon is going to get in there no problem. I'm not certain a crafty squirrel won't figure it out either... Overall, it's a very nice item if you don't have to put it together yourself. Otherwise, you need to go to confession on Sunday.

Très satisfaite ! Facile à monter, toutes les pièces sont identifiées, il suffit de suivre la notice. Prévoir d'être 2 pour tenir. Assez grand pour 2 gros coussins de loveuse et plusieurs petits, il reste de la place, mais pas pour un salon 7 places. Il est joli (effet bois), semble de qualité et très solide, on peut s'assoir dessus si besoin. Vraiment étanche, il a déjà subi plusieurs orages et tout reste sec. Il est parfait ! Je recommande.

Great sturdy box just as described.

Mooie tuinbox. Het installeren was wel wat moeilijk je hebt zeker een zachte hamer en een schroevendraaier nodig. Als je dit niet hebt (zoals mij) wordt het lastig.

Esta caja es muy bonita y de muy buena fabricación.

War eine gute Entscheidung diese zu kaufen.
