This is a pretty trunk that is light weight. The material is weather resistant, but it is not water-proof so unless you will be putting it in a covered, protected area, whatever you store in it, will not be safe from rain. The base of the interior box is not solid, or strong so the trunk is best if used to store some pool toys, inflatables and outdoor pillows. Nothing heavy. I actually want to return mine because I need something to protect heavy items from the weather.
