Had one of these for a couple of years now & all fine if you follow a few rules. Be gentle with it. Bit fragile so don't be rough. Be gentle when assembling. In direct sunlight, it will warp. I put a scaffold plank across it edge to edge to spread weight evenly, to weigh it down & stop the lid curling/ bowing, plus helps in wind. Had no problems & keeps garden chairs dry. Its a spider magnet. Be warned. Don't be tempted to sit on it. Too fragile. Use the wheels at your own risk. Heavy loads or rough terrain will break them. Keep contents light if planning to move it. Ive gatter taped handle holes over to avoid debris getting in.

I do. For added security, I gaffer tape the tiny gaps (0.5mm) where the walls meet the bottom. Just don't place it on a puddle-prone area. Weatherproof, but not waterproof.
It's been selling for £32 on discount for quite some time, so that's a small improvement. With the price of oil back up to $95/bbl, it won't be long before plastic garden furniture see their prices going up again. (edited)
jeeeeeez
I have a similar £30 garden box. They need to be weighted down to protect from wind pulling them apart, I use a sealed bag of compost. The lid also needs to be weighed down in very heavy winds.
I use mine as a parcel store, so things that could go mouldy are not stored in it all winter. Things I put in it don't get wet, but I could imagine it would be a dank place in the middle of winter.

Are these actually completely weatherproof? So I can store cushions in it all winter?

We built ours on the weekend... I checked after all this heavy rain the past few days and it's completely dry inside.

I bought this few weeks ago and it’s now in a pile in bits. In my opinion it’s not worth the money unless you have a way to secure it together

HI, what do you mean secure it together? does it not come with it's own fixings?

There's no way my garden will fit in there.

Was looking for a storage for my lawnmower. Would it be weather proof enough to keep a lawnmower? (edited)

Unless you've a very narrow lawnmower it won't be big enough. I had the same plan. Ended up keeping plenty of other garden tools and stuff in it though so it was useful.

I’ve got some decent outdoor storage at the moment.
Seems good value for the price. I’d potentially use this as a toy box for my daughter. (Toy boxes are not cheap!)

avoid like the plague , there is a reason why they are cheap . Wouldn’t last a battering with rain in this country , if you can find the Keter store it Max ones on offer they are better tbh (edited)

Was £10 clearance in Homebase not long back
How does it compare to the Keter Marvel? I have the Marvel already but it's warped out of shape so the lid doesn't close properly meaning it's now home to loads of spiders. Tempted to replace it with this one

Does anyone know how these hold up when filled with heavy stuff? I was planning to buy a couple of garden boxes fill them up around half way through with soil and use it for gardening. I've looked this one, Hollywood one and something else. Don't wanna spend a fortune as it will be filled with soil. Thanks
