Lifetime 60040 Deck Box, 130 Gallon, Desert Sand

Best dock box for the price in my opinion. I had this one for almost a year and shows no wear with no leaks from rain or even snow. Top is not sagging in any way. Highly recommend this box. I keep it in bright sun on my boat dock. Assembly instructions are easy to follow and the parts fit together like they should-a little help from a hammer and block of wood to seat the pieces to the bottom.

Perfect storage trunk! Also, its a great toy for the kids to use while your building it, my kids played in this thing for hours and then I had to kick them out. Multi functional for sure! :) Oh, also withstands severe weather and looks great!

Bought in 2017 running strong Made in USA

We have this storage box at home, and bought one for vacation home. It is nice for everything. Great space for storage.

I was hesitant to buy this after reading several others reviews. Specifically reviews about the top warping and people saying the hardware was the wrong size... couldn't get the gas struts to snap on, etc.The box is heavy duty injection molded plastic. So, the tolerances are not going to be to a thousandth of an inch. But, with a little coaxing in a couple places it went together without issue. I did it on a 93 degree day on the shaded area of my paver patio in Florida, in about an hour, including time to assemble my tools and unbox the parts.The box as designed will not be waterproof... In that, if it sits in standing water... the water will get in. I've had it out in some good strong rains in Florida, sitting on my paver deck, and I've never found water inside. With a driving rain, perhaps a small amount might be able to seep in, but I've not experienced it.I don't see how the other reviewer had the lid warp. There is a heavy piece of metal that is screwed in place along the top front edge, that would resist the kind of warping they showed in their picture. Either Lifetime updated their design, or the reviewer failed to install the metal brace!When installing the screws, I highly recommend a socket wrench, or a socket adapter for a cordless drill. When tightening fasteners, just snug them down into place. Too tight and you could strip them out into the plastic. The gas struts snapped into place on the hinges. I simply snapped one end on the ball joint on the hinge attached to the lid, and then moved the angle of the lid until the bottom end of the strut lined up with the ball joint on the other end of the hinge and snapped it into place. I'm no "Muscle Bound He Man"... after doing the first one I remarked to my wife about the issues the other reviewer had. She wanted to have a try, so I had her do the other one. She did it easily without needed guidance or tools. She is not a body builder either! LOLWhen installing the front and back into the base, use a rubber mallet to coax things into place like instructed, or a small piece of 2x4 (or other wood) to protect the plastic if using a standard hammer. You have to get some tabs to go into a slot, and then slide them. When installing the front and back to the base I found that giving a couple whacks with a rubber mallet, then setting it on it's side to make sure all the tabs were located correctly and sliding in the slots. Then I left it sitting on the right side, and moved them fully into place by tapping on the top left with the rubber mallet.... gravity helps you a bit this way.Assembly does require a little skillfully applied force in some areas. If you have 7/16, 3/8 & 1/2 sockets and wrenches, a phillips #2 screwdriver, and either a rubber mallet or hammer and small block of wood to use when hitting the plastic, you should be fine.

Yep, got another one! These are great for storing stuff out in our covered area. I use them to store and keep pellets dry for my grill. My wheels/tires to keep them out of the elements. Grilling lights and other cleaning things we store out there. Easy to set up (watch the video, way easier to follow that than the instructions!)

Very well built. Not much of a challenge to put together and the videos were a big help. Very happy with the quality and size. I purchased a somewhat less expensive slightly smaller deck box and had to return it because it came smashed up. The pieces were thin and fragile. The lifetime box is sturdy and made in America.. Highly recommended !

Easy to assemble and love the size. Perfect for getting that clutter out of the garage.
