Though this is not a toy box (by which I mean it does NOT include safety features like air holes), it was a cheap solution to my toddler’s accumulation of messy looking toys in the backyard. I didn’t want to carry dirt-encrusted toys into my house, and I couldn’t stand to look at them any longer.
This comes flat. I assembled it myself in a few minutes without tools. It takes heavy pressure to pop the pieces together, but an average woman like myself can manage it. It looks fine, but it is not perfectly square and smooth. The plastic sides are thin enough that they can flex a bit and be slightly bowed.
The lid is not hinged. It simply sits on top of the box. The lid is not water-tight. If you store it in the open outdoors, objects inside will get wet/damp when it rains. For plastic toys, this hasn’t been a problem for me.
An average size adult can sit on the lid and use it as a bench. It is only wide enough for one person. I don’t know the maximum weight limit, but we’ve put about 175 pounds on it. It is slightly shifty/wobbly, so I wouldn’t let a really large person sit on it, nor would I let a child climb on it as a toy. The lid could shift, etc.
I like it well enough that I’m considering getting a larger (wider) box like this for our front porch to hide a snow shovel and sand in the winter, and our beach toys and broom in the summer. I’m trying to find one assembled in a store to check out first, however, because a larger bench could be dangerous unless it is built a bit more sturdily than this small one.
I put this on my small patio, and it is great! It will not hold a large amount of items, but will hold many small items, for example, you could fit a 50 ft. hose, watering can and a couple chair pads, and some rope. It is so simple to put together, a couple quick snaps and your done! No nuts or bolts, but sturdy enough to hold my 245 lbs. husband! I actually bought this at a local Target store, and this is the best price.

Great product and website…
This is a great storage box and seat. It went together very easily, yet it’s very sturdy when it is all together. The lid has hinges which is great too.

Assembles quickly and is very sturdy.
Love it! This is perfect for our front porch to store shoes that pile up by the front door. I was able to put it together quickly even with the baby crawling over the directions…
I needed a small storage seat to place next to my hot tub. It is great for storing chemicals, etc. and provides extra seating on the deck.

Fulfills my requirements
I’ve been very happy with this item. It snapped together easily and it holds my pool items well. There’s more space than I had imagined.

KEEPS THINGS DRY
We bought this product to hold our pool towels outside on the deck. We have had steady rain for about 2 weeks and our towels are as dry as a bone.
