I had searched high and low for the best Deck Box that suits my need. I was looking for a big enough storage box for all of my deck chair cushion, which is weather resistant, which acts as a chair as well as storage, and the lid doesn't shut on your hand. (Have done that so many times in the past with other products... it hurts!) This has it all !!! I was surprised to see how light and small the unit was in the box but as soon as we put it together I realized it is very sturdy and very spacious. The assembly was very quick and easy and Automatic opening mechanism works so well I no longer have to be afraid to get my fingers caught! 
Love the real wood like appearance.
