Yes, it prevents rain water from going inside, but the lid becomes bird bath.

Since the very first week, the lid has shown signs of warping with a dent in the middle. Since the be  rug first drizzle, water has been pooling on top of the lid. And when I open the lid to drain the water from the back, some of the water gets inside the deck box. 

For the price I paid, I don’t think this is worth it. 
Not sure how it will hold up over time. 

Keter, appears to be better quality.
