I got three of these a year and a half ago. I've had some cupping of the lid, i.e. edges raising up, of about a quarter inch or so. Had no leakage issues, though. The lid lifts via hydraulic lift arms, and has more of an overlap than almost all the other brands I have, though this is the largest deck box I have.
The walls are a little thinner than I like, and I would hesitate anybody over 150 pounds, and personally don't even want my kids at 95 and 110 to climb on them. The long side walls do have metal stiff enters you insert, and that seems to be working as well as the older style thicker walled deck boxes, like the older Suncast.
Was going to buy one but there are none in my area for pickup & they ream you for shipping if you don't have a "plus" membership :-( . I have a feeling that with all these 'plus' memberships whatever they offer to get you to sign up for one will eventually end & then you'll have to sign up for a "plus plus" membership to get the same thing...
This is double the price of home depot one I just received on sale... However 5 times the quality. I have both and this is by far superior.
We got in on that promo--took two weeks for the order to ship, and it didn't survive shipping. No obvious damage to the packaging, but the corners of two panels were cracked and broken. Thankfully the return at HD was no hassle. We'll roll the dice on this one, seems like a good deal. I'm not expecting a super premium product, hopefully better than EasyUp at least.

This one feels very sturdy, I could confidently sit on Keter one, but not the HD one.. For just basic storage purposes it's no big deal, though. Good luck.
Oh the smaller HD one cracked when I was trying to insert the sides into tabs, they weren't lining up, HD took it back.
I have one of these from 4 years ago, it's still solid and holds up. A little bit of rust on the loop / lock area but that's to be expected in Florida and near a chlorinated pool. Solid buy, everything else imo is chinsy garbage.
I got one when sams was clearancing them about 2 months ago. Paid $55 for it, but was willing to pay 100. I've stood on it to reach my roof and I felt comfortable at ~170lb. We'll see how long it lasts.

Agreed. I got the 100 gallon Home Depot one originally and it was an inch too small inside for my cushions. I got this thinking I'd have an extra inch or two and my cushions just fit snug. Much better quality and sturdiness over the Home Depot one.
