Love love this storage box. We have not had any Issues with it leaking as I’ve seen in some other reviews and this deck is not covered at all on this side. We have seat cushions and a speaker stored inside and have yet to have an issue. 

I also feel comfortable sitting on It and I weight 135lb just in case others wondered because I definitely believe it’s made to sit on just don’t jump on it obviously and it won’t break… it’s made pretty sturdy so I don’t see how someone would fall through it!
