Wanted cushion storage matching other deck furnishings and this fit my needs and expectations.It looks good yet cushions did get wet after a heavy rain.I would not keep this outside for long periods of inclement weather and certainly not during snowy winter conditions.IT IS A BEAR TO ASSEMBLE ! For any extra fifty bucks, I'd buy it assembled from a retailer. 

Pros: Good looking ,appears well constructed.Has large capacity.
Cons: Time consuming (read and re-read instructions) and awkward assembly. Took over three hours to assemble.
