When I received this deck box I was surprised that it is just made of snap together plastic. For the price, I expected something slightly more substantial. It looks like a better quality than it actually is and I am concerned about its durability. It doesn't have a good latch and I'm afraid that a gust of wind might rip the lid off.  We'll see. But at the moment the deck box is looking good and doing its job. I'm using it to hold the cushions for our patio furniture and it holds more than I expected. It went together easily in 10 minutes and it would have been 5 if the directions had been written better. If I still have this in 5 years and it hasn't faded, I'll give it 4 stars. If I have it in 10, it'll get 5.
