I was looking for a storage box for my garden that looked modern and could be locked for a little more security. I went for this but was unsure how sturdy it was. It is very thin plastic and I was a bit worried when it arrived. However, when put together, which is very easy on your own, it isn’t too flimsy and looks good in the garden. It isn’t going to stop someone breaking into it if they really wanted to, but it’s more for storage than security. It does have a gap between the lid and the sides which some people say means it will leak but it’s rained numerous times (I live in Scotland!) and it’s bone dry inside. Overall a good product. If you want something sturdier and really strong you’ll need to pay a lot more it appears.
