Don’t let the bad reviews sway you

I was a bit leery about what I would receive and the assembly based on some of the bad reviews I read but I’ve learned from past experiences that a lot of bad reviews come from people who don’t seem to fully read product descriptions dimensions and do research on products before purchasing (like watching review videos which I always do) also some bad reviews from people that don’t understand that sometimes accidents happen (missing parts broken parts) When the product arrived I took all the parts out and reviewed the instructions and parts list in the instruction manual to get. Good understanding of what each piece was and how the assembly would be done before I started. It’s true that pieces that were supposed to “click” when put together did not. I also received mine with a broken part but was able to still assemble the bench and contact the manufacturer for a replacement part. (Manufacturer makes it really easy to do via an online form. You can also call or email for a replacement part) I didn’t get any push back or a bunch of questions just “what color bench did you order” I’m not the type of person who expects everything to also be perfect, thing happen. What matters to me is what is done to rectify the issue. Luckily I’m able to use the bench while waiting for the replacement part. Part of the back was broken but I have mine against a wall so the wall supports the back while I wait for the replacement part. Considering the bench was only 150 dollars I’m impressed with what I got especially after browsing similar storage benches and their prices before deciding on this one. As far as sturdiness goes, I was a bit concerned when I was organizing and inspecting parts before assembly (it did seem like the plastic was thin) but after it was all put together it feels very sturdy. I know once I receive my replacement part I’ll be even more impressed. Assembly was very easy, there are not many parts and few small parts. Few steps and I was very satisfied when it was done (even with the broken part) pics I have seen on bad reviews look like the person might have been rushing through assembly or not following directions properly

Durable, Reliable, Kid Resistant, Great price

The Solana Deck Box has a sleek and modern design that blends well with various outdoor decors. Its wood-like texture provides an attractive look, while being made of durable resin, which means it’s not prone to splintering or fading. With a 70-gallon capacity, it offers ample storage for cushions, garden tools, or other patio essentials. This makes it a great option if you need to keep your outdoor space tidy and organized. It functions both as a storage container and a bench. The top is designed to be used as a seat, supporting up to 485 pounds, so it can double as extra seating for guests. The resin material is relatively easy to clean. A simple wipe-down or occasional rinse with water usually suffices to keep it looking good. The Keter Solana typically comes with straightforward assembly instructions and doesn’t require advanced tools. Most users find the process manageable, though it can take some time to get everything aligned properly. The Keter Solana 70 Gallon Storage Bench Deck Box is a solid choice if you’re looking for a functional, attractive, and durable outdoor storage solution. Its dual-purpose design makes it a practical addition to any patio, and its weather-resistant construction ensures longevity.

Amazing storage bench!

I am so happy with this storage bench. First of all, the color is fantastic. It matches the dark wooden beams in our house and fits with the decor in the living room. It does not look like an outdoor bench in my opinion, it can work inside just fine. Second, I was able to install this all on my own, and I struggle to assemble things sometimes. I didn’t need any fancy tools, I just followed the directions and slapped some things into place (literally slapped it with my hand to get it into position). Third, our cats love it as a sitting area next to the dining room table, and they can look out the window by the front door. We add a cushion on the seat for them, and open the curtains. I could see dogs enjoying that just the same. Finally, and most importantly: it’s fantastic for storage! I will say, it does not look sturdy enough to hold super heavy items. The plank at the bottom is not solid hard plastic, it is light weight and seemed like it might bend or give away if we put something heavy inside. I keep reusable grocery bags in there along with blankets and pillows and it works great for us. Highly recommend this if you’re tight on storage and have a lot of empty space in a living room area!

Great product!

Solid and sturdy, once built. No issues with assembly: all the pieces fit snug and snapped together or were appropriately lined up for screws, where applicable. It did take about 30-45 minutes to assemble, but that makes sense given how sturdy it is. Finished product looks great and provides a good amount of extra storage space. We are very pleases with our purchase, especially at the price that waa offered on Amazon vs. similar products from the big box stores.
