I use this storage box beside my pool to keep pool floats and toys stored away to make things look neater. It is a very roomy box. It says you can sit on the lid, but it seems to high to use for actual seating, but it’s nice that it’s heavy duty enough that I don’t have to worry with my boys climbing on it and tearing it up. I love how it opens easily and closes easily and in such a way that I’m not worried about small children smashing fingers. Assembly was fairly easy but screws didn’t always seem to line up well. At one point I even thought- there’s no way the lid will close properly, but it does! I’ve had this box for a couple of weeks now and it’s working great for me and my storage needs! I would recommend this product.
