Keter Solana 70 Gallon Storage Bench Deck Box for Patio Furniture, Front Porch Decor and Outdoor Seating – Perfect to Store Garden Tools and Pool Floats, Graphite

El producto llegó en tiempo pero la banca no era del color que la pedí, siendo que era más cara. No me dieron opción de cambio y la opción de reembolso me pareció arriesgada porque sí quiera banca, así que me la quedé. La banca armada queda bien y parece resistente, pero un par de piezas venían algo rotas.

This storage bench is lovely and looks way more expensive than it is. It was a little difficult to put together as some of the pieces were quite long/tall but the instructions were good. My only issue is that once we got it together and put it on our back deck, a few days after we had another huge wind storm. Since we have not replaced any trees yet for those we lost in the 2021 EF4 tornado, the wind just whips around the back of the house. I kept hearing a thumping noise and finally figured out it was the bench swirling and twirling on our back deck with the wind! It was quite funny and now I know, and would suggest, after putting it out, ensure you put something inside to help get some weight in it so this doesn't happen. No worries - nothing hurt the new house, the deck, or the bench itself. It's very sturdy!

Nice and easy assembly

This storage bench came with absolutely NO instructions. NONE. Zip. How am i supposed to put this together when I don't know which parts join together. There are screws and other metal parts in plastic bags and each screw etc. is identified, but there are no sheets of paper that provide instructions on what part gets attached to what part. In addition, this is plastic. Not all weather material that I thought. But I didn't know that until I opened the box -it's going to crack if i leave it out in freezing weather. I would return it but it's too much trouble.

If you work in the manufacturing industry like I do, you know that there’s plastic and then there’s PLASTIC. The best way to describe it is you can make anything out of plastic, but the plastic can either be soft or firm. Think of the difference between the plastic your child’s toys might be made out of the plastic or synthetic material. You might see on the interior of your car. You noticed the difference you see the difference. This Falls in the middle. Not the most expensive plastic you can get, but it’s also not the cheapest plastic you can get. I thought this product would be more similar to a fake wooden bench. No, it’s a plastic bench. As soon as you sit on it, you can tell when you assemble it you can tell it’s plastic. It’s actually a bit overpriced I think it gets the job done for what it should be 70 gallons of storage in a well hidden fashion. Depending on your needs, it could work. Read the rest of my review below. The assembly process is straightforward there are a few screws. You have to use to assemble the product to usually hold metal bars in place, but for the most part, everything slides and snaps on click click click. It’s a well thought out design, but I urge you to remember this is plastic or synthetic material. I did have one issue during the assembly process when you make plastic like this the manufacturer usually injection molds the plastic so they have to make sure that all the edges are rounded off properly. They have to make sure all the holes that might be necessary for the assembly process or complete. Usually have a de-burning machine or some sort and a wuality check. Well, I got 2 pieces that failed quality check. Easy to fix in one case you literally just had to snap off a tiny bit of plastic on an edge and make room for a screw hole. Nothing major. On the bottom of the bench where you put 12 screws total in8 of my screw holes weren’t there you could see they should be there the outline of where they should be clearly visible, but they were never punched through. No, I’ll be the first to admit. I am no carpenter. I work in Finance in the automotive industry and I used to be an engineer years ago this wasn’t something that was hard to fix, but it was a quality check that was missed. Functionality wise it does what it should do a simple sturdy bench that has storage. I’ll admit some people in my family are a bit on the hefty side. They are afraid to sit on. It can’t say I blame them it’s a hollo Assembly. Anyone who purchased it will notice that from the beginning you can pick it up by yourself if you’re an average strength male, it doesn’t have a lot of heft to it, but it has functionality. The kids in the family Will sit on it, and I will store my barbecue equipment in it.
