Keter Springwood Plastic Deck Storage Container Box Outdoor Patio Garden Furniture 80 Gal, Brown

Love the look of this storage box and probably the easiest assembly I’ve ever had to do. Didnt give it 5 stars because one of the panels had a crack on it. It’s a little too flimsy for my taste. When you put something in that’s a little large and it rests on one of the panels, it pushes the panels outward and makes it difficult to close shut. Wish it was a little tougher in that regard. I’m keeping it under a terrace so not too worried about water getting into it.

easy assembly, nice box, arrived very fast

Great and easy to assemble.

This item snapped together quickly and was put to good use almost immediately.

Its slightly smaller than my other deck box by a couple of inches, but it is more sturdy. You can actually sit on it, not that you would want to, but its nice that its strong enough to hold up a person.

It comes with 2 wheels that you can put on either side. Then you can pick up one end and pull it around with minimal scraping. the roller style wheels are not very big so there is still some bumping around. You could also leave the wheels off if you wanted to. The wheels do not touch the ground until you lift the box. Its for one person to move it. My wife is very petite at 5’2″ and she can move it around easily despite the large, awkward size of the deck box. (its loaded with cushions from our lawn furniture).

I was able to install everything without any tools, including putting in the hinge pins, just a push with my thumb and they were in. Instructions were easy to understand, parts were well marked. The part numbers are molded into the parts instead of using crummy stickers like other brands, which I think shows forward thinking and attention to quality.

When assembling, some plastic parts had excess flashing – you know, those bits of plastic that weren’t cleaned off after injection molding. But I’m not going to remove a star for that.

This is the second product made by Keter that I have obtained. The first one was this Keter Luzon Patio Side Coffee Table Outdoor Furniture Durable Resin Plastic Realistic Wood Look, Graphite which is a really nice piece.

The second Keter product is this Keter Springwood Plastic Deck Storage Container Box Outdoor Patio Garden Furniture 80 Gal, Brown which is even nicer and more useful overall than that first one (not that I’m complaining about the smaller outdoor coffee table! It is meant for and we are using it for another purpose altogether).

This particular storage container is VERY easy to assemble. From the time I cut open the box until the time I had the unit completely assembled, less than fifteen minutes elapsed. While I do wish that the instruction manual had plain English instructions in addition to pictures (and I wish that the pieces were named instead of just lettered and numbered), the assembly was extremely easy. A child could do it! I should mention that the parts names are embossed onto their respective pieces making it extremely easy to identify those parts.

Everything is very well made. The pieces fit together perfectly. I didn’t even have to use any “language” (which is amazing considering my general ineptness in assembling items like this).

I did have one problem: one of the hinge connectors (used to prevent the top from opening all the way) broke when I inserted it. Just the clip portion at one of the tops broke but the round base still held the top just fine.

Nonetheless, I telephoned Keter. I was answered by a representative who is a genuine credit to ALL representatives! She was professional, friendly, considerate and, even though I did not have a part name (just the number M6), she knew exactly what had happened. She said that she would ship a replacement to me. That was on May 11. The replacement arrived today, May 17, and, rather than just one replacement clip, she sent two!

I cannot adequately express the way I feel about this company and its products. Both of the Keter products I now own are well constructed, well designed, and they both look just beautiful on our deck. My wife too is extremely pleased with them both.

And for a company to treat a customer the way they treated me is just plain rare nowadays. I wish ALL companies were like Keter.

Obviously I give this company and this product the highest recommendation that I can possibly give.

Thank you for reading this and for considering my opinion.
