I love the look of this deck box.I set it out in the rain to test it and it was completely dry inside . It will definitely be where I store my outdoor cushions. I also like that the top is flat and could be used as extra seating or as a place to set items on when your having a gathering of friends or family over. The lid stays up and doesn't slam down like some boxes do either .I can't say enough good things about this product.
