EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THIS DEC BOX TO HOUSE PATIO CHUSIONS, I FIND IT INVALUABLE FOR MANY THINGS. I USE IT FOR POTTING PLANTS AS IT IS EASILY HOSED OFF. I USE IT FOR A SERVING TABLE FOR OUTDOOR DINING AND IT HAS ALSO BEEN USED FOR EXTRA SEATING. I AM SURE THERE WILL BE MORE FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE TO ME WHEN AND IF THE NEED PRESENTS ITSELF.  I LOVE IT!
