I have owned many lifetime folding tables and have been impressed with their durability, however this deck box is flimsy at best in its design and parts quality, the piston hinge broke as I was assembling it and although the customer service rep was very responsive in sending me a new one I was disappointed in the way the joints were fastened - screws through hollow plastic frame pieces and tabs that very often stripped on tightening, only reason I didn’t return it was the chore of disassembling and shipping back- at this price point I expect better quality
