Initially I was happy but in less than 2 months the lid has warped & bowed and won't close tight. It does get direct sun and I doubt it's going to last a year. I'm sure water will get in it and rust garden tools during rains or watering the garden. I will return it if I can. Sadly we downsized and sold my larger old Keter box that going strong at 8 years with no problems in the elements. The lid is pretty flimsy. Size is great though.
