I purchased the deck box (150Gal) for storing deck furniture cushions. I liked the looks of the box, not the normal beige plastic look and feel. Actually it matched our furniture perfectly. Sides are a textured greyish color. Assembly was easy except for the end/corner pieces. The plastic tabs needed to be forced into the latch position. Remember it's plastic so the dimensions are not perfect. The tabs could be more pronounced to lock in place. I like the gas hinge for the top. only negative is the sides give, so do not over load the box otherwise the top will not fit securely - they will bow outward. Otherwise it does what it should. I wish they made a 200-250 Gallon box maybe with taller sides
