YITAHOME 31 Gallon Outdoor Storage Deck Box, Waterproof Resin Package Delivery and Storage Box with Lockable Lid for Patio Furniture Cushions, Pool Accessories, Garden Tools, Taupe

Nice little deck box. Ordered the second one to hold my pool supplies and it doubles as a coffee table between deck chairs. Throw away the instructions. They are absolutely useless but fortunately it’s easy to assemble without them

It’s a little tricky to assemble alone. It would have been easier and faster to have had a second person to help putting this together. Once assembled, it’s pretty sturdy. I’m 150 lbs, and it did hold up as I tried to use it as a seat. But, I wouldn’t actually use it as one, and definitely wouldn’t use it as a seat after it being in the sun for a year or two. Also, if I were heavier, I don’t believe it would hold up.As far as what I bought it for? It’s excellent! It’s well made and perfect for daily parcel deliveries from USPS, UPS, DHL, FEDEX and others. I have two small 2”x4” bricks inside of it, to prevent it from flying off in high winds. (Empty, I’s heavier than a 33 gallon, plastic trash can, but I live in an occasionally windy area, and those things, do end up down the road or in the neighbors yard) It’s placed on the side of my home, and closest to where it’s convenient for deliveries to be made. It’s also a place that’s slightly open to the elements. I work for a delivery service, and more and more of my customers have bought similar outdoor storage containers for this purpose. Whenever I have concerned customers that ask for advice for parcel and package deliveries and they don’t have an area where I can secure their delivery, I recommend these types of containers as an option.Pros;1. It’s waterproof. So it’ll keep packages and parcels off the ground and out of the rain.2. It keeps deliveries out of direct sunlight.3. It prevents most pets, animals and critters from your deliveries.4. It provides a semi-secure place for deliveries. (you could instruct and provide an unlocked padlock in/on the container to be locked after delivery, but it would prevent further deliveries from other carriers for the day. I have had unlocked padlocks, somewhat securing these containers to be left unlocked after deliveries. At a casual glance from the street, it looks like it’s locked)5. It provides a consistent and convenient delivery location for you and delivery services for ALL deliveries (as a delivery driver, we appreciate these small things for ourselves and our occasional replacements)And most of all….6. It prevents porch pirates, nosey neighbors and pedestrians, from having direct line of sight, of any deliveries that you’ve had that day.Cons;1. If you can keep it out of direct sunlight, I can’t think of any.

I bought this to use as a place for deliveries or packages to be placed, as my porch is highly visible to passerby’s. It works perfectly as a way to store packages out of sight and out of mind until I can retrieve the package.It is light weight, which is okay for me bc I have it on the porch where wind will not blow it. If you both this and put it in a windy location, I would recommend weighing it down or even drilling the bottom into something to anchor it.This isn’t a box for security, as it is super light and easy to assemble. I do not think it would take a criminal long to tear apart if they were determined.There is a place to put a small keyed lock. Which would be ideal to keep kids out, and make it more difficult to break into the box and steal contents.It keeps most of the light rain out, I would not call it waterproof from a direct downpour. Where I have it, it is Pete Ted from the worst of storms, and so far has proven a good way to keep packages dry and out of the wind.Most delivery people see the box and where I used a sharper to write “packages” on the top and use the box. A few ignore the box, this is not the boxes fault.The primary reason for the box was to hide my packages, I had a package waiting on my porch for me to retrieve. This box does exactly that, and bonus offers more protection from packages blowing away in wind or damaged by weather. I would buy it again.The size is good. Not too big and not too small. It can hold the majority of my packages with plenty of room to spare. It is as described in measurements. I think it is a fair price and value.It is hard but a tiny bit bendable plastic. I would not put anything heavy on or in this box for any significant length of time. I could see storing some camping gear, like flashlights and bug spray, or sports balls and nets in the box, or yard sprays or water hose kind of thing. I personally would not store tools, especially heavy tools or heavy items in or on the box. You do you boo.It keeps cats and other nighttime critters out so far, but it is not bug proof or dust proof. It keeps some dust and some bugs out is best I can say.

Honestly awesome, spacious and keeps everything perfectly dry. Looks good. Only thing was a little tricky to put together alone but I am also not good at these things.

Ideal box for receiving delivered packages. It is easy to assemble. Took just a few minutes. I am very pleased with this deck box. Exactly as described. Worth the cost.
