This was the second of these we've purchased. One we use for outdoor grilling equipment. The other is for storing the extra equipment near our boat that we need when we go out on the water. That one keeps our life-jackets, tools, crab pots, and a few other items save and dry between uses. This is an excellent value and very easy to use.

P have had a Rubbermaid medium storage box on the pool deck for the past 20 years and it is still in great shape. So, although you can pay less for other brands, I choose Rubbermaid again for this larger capacity utility box. I love that there are no metal parts to rust out or snap off. The assemble was easy, taking me about 30 minutes to complete alone. If you have had Rubbermaid products before you just know how to snap it together with minimal struggle. It fits right in with its older companion and fits my lawnmower, power washer, large sprayer, 40 pound bags of pool salt and a variety of pool supplies. I stay with Rubbermaid because Rubbermaid stay with me!

This large horizontal Rubbermaid Storage Shed is a high quality storage solution that may not require a town permit and is great for trash bins or small yard tools and equipment. My unit arrived in secure packaging and complete parts in perfect condition, although a couple pieces of injection molding plastic tabs remained after manufacture. After removing those tabs, assembly proceeded per the instructions. Having a second person available to assist with the parts helped tremendously. It is also important to have a firm and level foundation on which to assemble and place the shed. I constructed a shelf per the enclosed user instructions and it fit perfectly.

I bought this item a few months ago and just got around to putting it together. After laying out the pieces and reading the printed instructions, I searched for a video showing the assembly process. No joy! So I read a few reviews, learned of some potential problems, re-read the instructions, donned my work gloves, and picked up my rubber mallet.Before you start, be aware that you really need to do this on a hard surface. If your shed's ultimate location is on your lawn or other soft ground, DO NOT ASSEMBLE IT THERE. Yes, moving it once it's put together is a chore, but trust me on this, it's necessary. Also, you'll need plenty of room to make assembly easier. Finally, I put this together by myself, but for a lot of buyers it should be a two person job.I ran into the first problem right away. The instructions say to snap the left and right side/back pieces together, and it sounds easy. Don't try to do this with the pieces upright. Lay them flat and bend each side part upright until it snaps in position. Butt the two pieces together so the four connections line up. Forget the mallet. Step onto the pieces and then stomp on each of the connections until you hear each one snap into place. Once that's done, lift it back upright.The next step is to slide the floor piece into place at the bottom of the sides. If you look, you'll see two places on each side where the floor can be set into grooves on the sides. Line those up and then, standing in front of the partial shed, grab the front of each side and pull them so the grooves and tabs are in position to go together. Kick the front edge of the floor piece until the tabs are in the grooves. You won't get them to snap into place yet. Tilt the whole thing toward its front so that the back is topmost. Grab your mallet and bang on the four places where the floor meets the back until you hear and see them snap together. Once that's done, stand it back upright.Time for the doors. Both are added the same way and it doesn't matter which you do first right now but I'll write this up starting with the left one. There's a pivot pin at the top of the door that fits easily into a hole in the side piece. There's another pivot pin at the bottom that's not so easy. With the top pin in place, push the door into the more-or-less closed position while lifting up on the right edge so the bottom door pin rides up onto the floor. Push the door so the bottom pin is heading toward its floor hole and it will jam itself into position so you can let go and bend down to see where the pin is relative to the hole. Bang on the door with your mallet while watching your progress and you should be able to get the bottom pin in correctly. It isn't difficult but you do need to watch what you're doing. Then do the same thing for the other door.The last piece is the top, and it will be easier with two people. Hold the top up over the rest of the shed so the metal prop-up rod dangles over the slot in the top front of the right side piece. You need to rotate the top counter clockwise while holding it flat so that the bend at the bottom of the prop can go into the slot. Once it's in, rotate the top back into alignment, then lower it to line up the hinge points at the back. Bang on them with the mallet until they snap into place.That's it, you're finished. Not counting the unproductive time I spent trying things that ended up not working, the whole assembly took me maybe 20 minutes, and would have taken less time if I'd had a helper.I like the shed. It sure feels sturdy now that it's assembled, and it appears to be reasonably weather resistant for the way it's built. My only real gripe is poor, or at best inadequate, instructions. Rubbermaid would be doing themselves and their customers a favor by putting together some simple YouTube assembly videos for this product line. I'd volunteer but I'm old, fat, and homely.

I use these to store outdoor furniture and puppy whelping equipment, which stores nicely and easy to accessas I need them and keeps things organized and tidy. I now have five of these, some are over ten years old and still look as brand new as the ones I just added, due to the fact that they are so easy to clean and do not become brittle.

I have to say that I was worried on ordering this after reading other reviews, but I think there are two issues that need to be address. One, it arrived in a very large, cumbersome flat box and two it isn't the easiest to put together.Amazon left the box right up against my house by the garage. So the delivery was done with care & the box was in good order. I had to carry each pcs. by hand from there into the backyard. It is very sturdy, heavy & waterproof. No complaints there.However, when you put it together there are no nuts, blots or screw. It instead, physically pops together and here is where the problems begin. One needs a friend and a very strong mallet. Because in order for it to be assembled, especially the floor, you need some seriously good muscles. Which I completely lacked.I gave up and got my neighbor's muscles. I held, while he whacked away with my heavy mallet, pounding it into submission. His muscle strength made all the difference in how it fit together. You may not have such an agreeable neighbor, so just know that going in.I love it now that he properly fit it together. It holds all the cushions & pillows to my outdoor furniture. I live in the North Carolina were we get a lot of biblical weather. It has already done well with one major storm. The whole thing was dry as a bone. So great product... if you have strength to put it together !

It was easy to put together ... it just snaps in place! I did it myself but having a second pair of hands is helpful. Sturdy unit which holds all our recycle needs with room to spare.
