These deck boxes are very similar to storage tubs w lids, except thinner/flimsy. Easy to put together, if done correctly they should be waterproof. We’ll see. The wheels are only on one side and do not make it easier to maneuver around. It’s fine for what I needed them for, and the bottom is holding the weight. Unfortunately, it’s not something I’d put on my deck or let guests even see them. You definitely can’t use them for a seat like many other deck boxes. They really should be called Lightweight Storage Tub Deck Box w Lid.  The only difference is you don’t have to put a storage tub together.
