The deck box works and looks decent. However, please understand that this is water "resistant" - it will get wet - the sides are not solid (due to the weaving of the plastic wicker.) The water resistant liner is nylon and, again, is not waterproof. I did not realize I could not put cushions out in the box during all weather in the summer. The liner has velcro at the top and the liner falls down in the box when I put the cushions in it - I have to keep reattaching it. The zipper is rather flimsy; I suspect it will not last long-term. The materials that come with it suggest using it in covered spaces - and I don't have a covered place for it. I have ended up ordering a waterproof custom cover for it so that I can leave it outside. I just did not realize that it was only mildly water resistant.
