This deck box is attractive and well-designed. Assembly was a breeze. I loved how so many of the parts were interchangeable. The front and back panels are exactly the same as are the sides. The base and top are easy to distinguish. The hinges and lid damper/support arms can be attached to either side. The box is lockable, but will only serve to deter the wind and the curious. Any mildly determined thief will be able easily find their way in. The neutral tan/grey color is nice. I would definitely buy this box again.
