Well there are definitely issues with this box. It is very flimsy and I could see where in the sun its going to have a warping issue. It does not line up properly and the hole where you can put a pad lock does not meet the hole on the bottom so you have to pull the top to the side to get them to line up. Strangely mine came with paint on the bottom as though it had been dragged along a wall or something that had paint on it. Thats what I find bad. It is not a bad looking item at all and it looks nice on the deck. It is quite large so it will hold a good amount of items, probably would be great near a pool to put all the pool toys etc in. All in all I Im not really satisfied with the purchase based on how flimsy it is made, especially the top not lining up properly to the bottom..
