Rubbermaid 5E39 Storage Bench Review

Do you have a lot of stuff lying around on your deck simply because you don’t have any place to store them? Or it is usually just too much trouble to carry the items back and store them away again, from where you got them in the first place? Don’t fret – there is light at the end of the tunnel with the Rubbermaid 5E39 Extra Large Deck Box with Seat. It is big enough to store all your items lying around, and it can even double up as an extra comfortable deck seat.

Convenience All the Way:

The Rubbermaid 5E39 Extra Large Deck Box is designed to be used both outdoors and indoors to store a large variety of items. You can use it outside on the pool deck, on the patio, or just anywhere in the yard, and even on your private boat dock. You can also use it inside, for example in your garage, in the tool shed, in the greenhouse, in the boathouse, in your holiday cabin, etc.

All in all, this box will help you to keep the surrounding areas uncluttered and you’ll always know where to find your stuff. You can basically store anything you like inside the box: garden tools, pool equipment, toys, barbecuing equipment, patio furniture cushions, etc.

Quality that Will Last in the Outdoors:

The box’s rugged high-density polyethylene construction ensures that, according to the manufacturer, it should not chip, crack or peel – even in adverse weather conditions. As is the case with all Rubbermaid deck boxes, this particular deck box is also designed to be maintenance-free as well as crack-resistant in colder temperatures. It has a sturdy design which should ensure that the box won’t wobble once fully assembled.

Additional Features and Benefits:

* With its inner dimensions of 56-and-a-half by 21 by 22-and-a-half inches, which denotes the width by depth by height measurements, the assembled box offers a total of 16.2 cubic feet of storage space, which is big enough to even fit standard-sized garden tools, such as hoes, rakes, etc.

* The box comes with a sturdy lockable lid (with the lock not included), which will keep small children away from items such as pesticides, sharp and pointed grilling accessories or barbecuing fuels.

* The box was designed to ensure that its assembly should be quick and easy and could be completed within 30 minutes by making use of the panels which snap together and interlock.

* If you worry about the box not fitting in with your color scheme, then it should not be a problem. The box comes with a sandstone colored cover and floor as well as olive steel colored panels, and this will ensure that it should blend in with just about any kind of location or venue.

Negative Points:

* Only a handful of customers have complained that there is a sloppy fit just where the locking parts are meant to snap together, and that it will cause the box to leak when it rains. However, as one customer put it, all one has to do is to make sure that the pieces first snap in place before moving on to the subsequent section. Most customers have reported that the box works fine and that it is waterproof, even after being through several heavy rain storms and high winds.

Finally:

From the high number of positive customer reviews and ratings, it appears that the Rubbermaid 5E39 Extra Large Deck Box is a sturdy and handy storage unit.
