Suncast Storage Seat Review

If you are a gardener and live in an apartment or only have small patio then space can be a real problem. You want some where that you can store all your tools neatly and securely as well as your other bits and pieces.

One great solution is the Suncast outdoor storage bench. This product is less a bench than a seat really. That’s a great feature when space is at a premium. Learn more about the Suncast storage seat in this review. I’ll explain what are some of the great features of this storage seat. As well as a couple of things you will want to know before you buy.

Firstly this is a self assembly storage seat but don’t let that put you off. All the panels just snap together and so you want need any DIY knowledge or tools to put this together. Once you have put the storage seat together you will notice how solid it looks. One thing you need to know about your normal deck box is that it is not designed to be sat on. Over time this can crack the frame, which can reduce water tightness.

The great thing about the Suncast Storage Seat is that it is specifically designed to support body weight. Another feature you will probably notice is the six raised legs at the bottom. This keeps the bottom of the storage seat off the ground and prevents any moisture problem. The lid overlaps the top of the deck box which helps to direct rain water away from the interior of the box. The lid is hinged and so it really is easy to store things in this storage seat.

The storage seat is a nice looking taupe color. This blends in well with almost all outdoor settings. It’s a tasteful piece without being over whelming. You don’t really want your storage seat to be the centre piece of your patio anyway. It’s well balanced and you feel comfortable when you are sitting on it. This is nice because you don’t want guests to feel uncomfortable when you are sharing your outdoor space with them. Another nice feature of this seat is that is relatively light weight (provided it’s not full!) it’s relatively easy to move around and place where ever you want.

The one thing you should be aware of before you buy this storage seat is that is designed for relatively small spaces. As such you can’t really fit more than one adult on the seat at a time. Also you will want to check how much space you will need before you make your purchasing decision.

This storage seat has a 22 gallon capacity. That means you will be able to fit most of your garden tools, a couple of patio cushions and maybe the hose inside. But you will want to take a look at how much stuff you are hoping to be able to store in your storage seat before buying.

This is a great looking storage seat that performs its function admirably. Make sure that it can hold whatever you want to put in it first, and you will be glad you picked up the Suncast storage seat.
