This patio storage unit is AWESOME!!!  The small tray above the inside storage area is perfect for gardening tools.  And the storage area, itself, if HUGE!!!  So far, we have stored 6 patio chair pillows, two 9' umbrellas (in 2 pieces, each), 2 umbrella covers, 2 90"-round table covers, a patio heater cover, a cover for 6 additional stacking chairs and decorative outdoor lights and STILL have room for MORE!!!  Don't want to jinx myself, but so far, despite torrential rains, there have been no leaks.  We purchased a bench cushion that matches our patio chair cushions that we've put atop the storage chest, and it's PERFECT for additional seating -- even for 2 adult men! It was a little difficult to assemble (thank goodness my husband is built like a football player and could put all his weight into getting one part into another); but aside from that, there are no cons for this product from my perspective. I would definitely recommend this storage chest to others!!!
