I have a few different Suncast outdoor storage boxes for cushions, beach towels, gardening tools...this is the largest one and went together with ease. (past ones sometimes took effort when parts weren't cut correctly) no tools required.  Love the size but wish it had wheels on one side like the smaller Suncast I bought recently.  This is so large it makes it a bit cumbersome to move around.  Haven't had rain since receiving but I think it will be weather proof like my other suncast boxes.  Does have a spot on the front of lid to place a lock if needed.
