I bought this box to store the seat cushions from my outdoor furniture.  The lid of the box had gaps between each of the wooden slats which means the box was completely useless as outdoor storage for anything that needs to stay dry.  I spent time and money having to apply sealant to the top and bottom of the lid.  IMHO Calling this an "Outdoor Deck Box" is wrong.     

Also the springs on the hinges are ridiculously strong which makes the lid flip open fiercely and it also slams shut.  Very concerned that my youngest child may trap her fingers.
