Love this storage container.  During the summer months when we use our hose on a daily basis, we have wrapped our hose around the base of the box for easy access.  When the weather changes and we no longer need the hose, we will store it inside.  There is a lot of room inside and it looks nice and neat on the patio - not an eyesore like the homemade wooden box I tried to make for my wife.  She's happy - I'm happy.
