It hides some junk and looks real nice but my hubby and I put a metal garden cart in to support the seat. We're kinda heavy, but not overweight by any means.

I love the stone look and the overall design of this bench. We ordered it to place on the patio of our barn next to the kids playscape. It is great to store the balls and sand toys for the kids. We're considering ordering another bench to place on our back deck.

Easy to put together. Very attractive. Exactly what was expected. I wanted a place to store pool rafts and it isn't large enough. My fault, I missed judged the space. We have a grandbaby who will be getting bigger and we can put toys in it later.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Can't find anything negative to say about it, but a bit pricy. But, I guess overall, you get what you pay for. The Storage Bench was easy to assemble, durable, so far contents are dry during storms, kids jump on it and so far, still in one piece any other product, it would have already been distroyed by kids. Plus, it looks like it belongs in my backyard and holds all my gardening tools. Storage Bench is absolutely PERFECT for my needs.

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I highly recommend this storage bench, I have other step 2 products that have held up in the elements of south florida, I am sure this one will also. I had purchased several other storage benches that were hard to put together or the quality was JUNK!!! This one is GREAT QUALITY and VERY EASY to put together, under 30 mins by myself. The only thing I do not like is the way the bench part is attached, it just kinda slides into place, but doesn't have a slide for it to lock into, so when you pull it up to get into it you have to be careful not to pull it out to far, but I guess that has it's plus' too, like if you are storing larger items and need the extra room to get them in and out. Overall GREAT, I purchased 2 of them so far and will purchase more.

I got the Storage bench as part of new play equipment for my yard. The yards in my new home do not have fences and are in a somewhat "country" area. I wanted my new play area to blend in with the natural surroundings. This bench does just that, and there is room for me and couple of kids to read a book or just suggle.

I run a licensed home daycare and this storage bench coordinates perfectly with the Naturally Playful products. It holds all the outdoor toys (balls, sand toys, water toys, trucks, etc.) and also provides a great place for relaxing. The lid is lightweight enough for the kids to open, but has no pinching points to harm them. Great product, built to last!
