We just had a pool put in & quickly realized that we needed some storage to accommodate towels, pool toys & supplies, cushions, etc., to keep outside. This storage box was on sale and seemed to be the best value of all those offered & suited for our taste. We received it in a timely manner (1 week), and it was so easy to put together (my husband did it in 5 minutes!) - no tools necessary! It is huge, so we'll be able to put a lot of our pool stuff in there. And it seems very durable, we can use it as a bench seat! We love it and are extremely happy with our purchase!
