Everything went well until it came to slotting the seats into the lugs. One broke as I tried to push the seat into place, so now the seat sits awkwardly on the base. Otherwise okay, I suppose, although it costs a lot for what it is.

I was dreading this arriving after reading the reviews, but I have to say, it was easy enough to assemble, seems sturdy. It is a lot darker than the advertised picture – which is disappointing. Couple of scuffs on the plastic – but for the cost I’m OK with this. Im sure I will soon scuff it myself. The seat depth is good…couple of cushions and I’ll be sorted!

Bought 2 of these to replace our old wooden ones. As we are getting older we wanted something that would need no maintenance, explored the web for something suitable and found these. They arrived quicker than expected and were very well packaged. We set about putting them together this was done in no time as the instructions were clear and all the parts were there (always an added bonus). We did cheat and use an electric screwdriver, no good getting old if you don’t get artful. completed both in under an hour. Placed in the garden and we are looking forward to spending looking to many years of sitting on them entertaining family and friends. A real bargain.

After reading all reviews, I was prepared to have to trim off some excess plastic, so was armed with a sharp knife. When opened, was horrified to see just how much needed trimming. Spent the first half hour trimming every single joint and edge, as most of the assembly is slot together, this would not have been possible without trimming. I can see why so many people had problems. Once the trimming was done, it wasn’t too difficult to assemble, although it really does need 2 people. It felt very flimsy while assembling, but when complete was quite sturdy. The only problem is that the sides come ready assembled, and it is obvious these parts were not trimmed, as there were bits of plastic sticking out of the joints, and didn’t fit flush. If these parts were finished properly before leaving the factory, I would say it was very good, but sadly it was a very shoddy piece of work. After saying all that, I am quite pleased with the finished result.

This is our third Keter assemblyAnd we usually find them fairly easy even a full shed however this bench was difficult with lots of pieces of extra plastic and a part that just doesn’t fit properly. As seen in the photo. Have contacted the supplier today so really hope they will be able to assist .Update- supplier dealt efficiently with problem. New part sent and fitted.

bought 2 of these as they looked good on photos. One fills with water and 1 has broken where the locking part on even though there has never been a lock on it. Seller said the broken one is outside 30 days of purchase. Faulty is faulty and its not acceptable for £139 each. They are not even been used that much, cushion storageAvoid

This strikes me as a product that at one time was excellent, and very solid. but has slowly but surely been reduced in quality to the point now where it’s bordering on just not good enough at the price it costs. Lots of plastic offcuts stuck everywhere, where the mould hasn’t been cleanly cut, and frankly the plastic is very thin.Once assembled it’s reasonably rigid, but the finish is poor with joints not fitting cleanly despite my best efforts. When you sit on the seat you can feel it gives slightly (I’m 14 ST). On the photo it looks like real wood but in real life it looks like brown plastic.The seat lid doesn’t close well enough and needs something rammed into the bracket provided for a padlock otherwise there’s a large gap for insects and weather to get inside. I would not want to risk leaving this bench is a very sunny place as with it being brown (absorbs heat) and such thin plastic I fear it would warp in places.Edit July 2022.I can confirm that the ends of both sides of the thin seat have warped, causing a gap on both sides for insects and spiders to easily get inside. The seat is in direct sun for just a few hours a day in hot weather. However, there’s little use for an outside seat that can only be placed in continuous shade.

Fairly easy to put together (not really a one person job) and looked nice once in place in the gardenHaving read previous reviews I bought a cover at the same time so no problem with puddles on the seat getting insideLots of space for all the bird food and small gardening tools etcHope it still looks good this time next year!

A super sturdy bench and it looks great. I wasn’t sure about the star rating. Definitely 4 for the bench itself but really a 3 for the rain problem with the storage. The amount of storage is great. However, there is a gully at the back where the rain collects and if you lift the seat it will pour in.

We were not as happy with this item as we were with the large storage box.In several places we had to trim off tags of plastic from the molds to get a good ‘click’ when putting it together.The instructions did not always match the parts. For example, they showed two screws to attach the seat part of the locking device, where as the metal part only had one hole.Once put together, on completly flat ground one edge of the bench seat scuffed the arm of the bench when it opened and closed, leaving an arc scratch mark on the arm.It needs to be stood against something as the back view is not a thing of beauty.
Mark F –
Good product, best price available. Only problem is rain off the seat goes inside the storage underneath when seat is lifted. But overall excellent value.
Amazon Customer –
We love this bench, storage space, we had no problem putting it together, very comfortable to sit on and looks really good. We read the reviews before purchase and yes water will settle on top and if you open the storage lid it will go into the storage area, because we were aware of this we also purchased a cover and therefore have no problem. It will get hot because of the dark colour but again we are aware of this and can just cover it. Overall so far we love the bench.

Wanted it for near the back door to change out of and store walking boots and shoes. Took a while to put together, better with 2 people perhaps. Sturdy and the storage keeps the rain out.
Mrs Sarah Hellyer –
This was the most difficult piece of junk to put together. Click into place it said. But you needed to be muscle man to do that. Instructions weren’t easy to follow and now it’s finally put together it leaks in the rain. There are puddles in the bottom, so useless for storing anything.I would not recommend it at all. On the contrary, I have a straight forward garden box of the same make and that snapped together in minutes. There is no comparison between the two.No I would not recommend.
Ms. V. Fellows –
It looks good the base is rather flimsy so no great weight in the storage compartment. I had to cut off lots off little bits of plastic so that it would fit together. My son is 15 stone and it holds his weight easily so apart from the flimsy base it’s quite sturdy
Victoriaplum –
This bench looks good in our little townhouse back garden. However after some heavy rain the seat retained two large pools of water which after lifting allowed quite a lot of it to run back into the storage area. This is particulrly annoying as we had already stored a brand new small BBQ complete with outer box which is now sodden and various bits and pieces which we had previously kept in a waterproof box.Worth mentioning that someone professional put it together for us and it stands on completely level ground. Rather disappointing. We will obviously have to mop up throughly after each time it gets wet!

Easy to assemble and strong

We had one of these some years ago that we were very happy with but this one was very poorly moulded with lots of bits of surplus plastic which I had to cut away to make it fit acceptably. Even then the fit of the seat back was poor.
Amazon Customer –
Very good bench seat
Paul –
Putting it together was fairly easy to be fair, it did look flimsy when in bits but after it was put together it is a sturdy bench, if I were to be harsh the base floor of the bench could be made of a solid piece of plastic as it is a large storage space and will hold a substantial amount of garden and other items.Paul
Wendy G –
For the price this bench is good. Don’t expect it to be as robust as a wooden bench.
Big Ted –
It was hard to join pieces to better as plastic was out of joint.Still managed final to get it togetherHad to glue feet on as they were slack in housing.Time you had better quality control .Peter Hough.
Zeus –
Sturdy benches – definitely a two man job..Other than a soft mallet and screwdriver I would suggest you equip yourself with a Stanley Knife to cut off stray bit of plastic which are left over from the moulding process – Some of these preventing the joints clipping together !!!Recommended !!
paul b –
Itis nice to sit on and the colour and finish fit in with our garden
R Cranna –
It looks ok but t’s not as sturdy as I expected it to be. In particular we immediately had problems with the seat itself which has warped at both sides within a week of putting it outside. I should perhaps add that it isn’t situated in the hot sun all day, in fact it only gets direct sunlight for perhaps 10% of the day. We reported this to the supplier who immediately provided a replacement seat – well done Garden Store, great service. However, this too has warped in the same way after only 3 days. It needs a metal strut through the front of the seat to solve this issue. The reason we’ve kept the bench is that it’s liveable with and whereas the previous wooden bench suffered badly in the winter this one, being resin, should endure it much better. Just a pity that Keter haven’t resolved what, for me, is a design flaw.
Amazon Customer –
The delivery was very quick,2 days. On starting to assemble it I found there was a crack in the arm of one end pieces, I emailed the supplier on the Friday and he responded the same day saying that a replacement would be sent on the Monday, it arrived on the Tuesday.Assembly was reasonably easy but take time to make sure every thing is right before cliping it together as you can’t unclip bits (or I couldn’t)The supplier service was excellent and there was no way he could have known about the crack and there was no obvious damage to the packaging.

I usually like Keter products, i have a number of the little sheds which were easily assembled and have been used as log stores for a few years but this was a joke from start to finish poor quality plastic which broke rather then clicked together and the AP instructions are difficult to follow. I did manage to finish it but sorry to say this time Keter it isn’t up to scratch. 1 star as there was no, NO star option.
Ted –
The item was delivered promptly and took just over two hours to assemble. No problems and instructions quite clear. My wife and I have sat outside on it together now a few times quite comfortably. It did rain and there was some build up of water on the seat so I have ordered a cover which in hindsight should have done in the first place. So far items stored have kept dry and no problems.
R Wood –
Did not like having to trim excess plastic off that should have been done when parts were molded.
Phil –
Perfect weatherproof garden bench
Lisa –
Good product the only reason I have it a 4 is the internal base is a tin plastic thing that worries me with rain and animals. its not a really sealed piece so you couldn’t put cushions or anything like that in it. But it works well for gardening things.
Amazon Customer –
Disappointed it wasn’t clear about being a flat pack you need 2 people to put together and the arm was already damaged.It looks surprisingly good though and so far the storage box has kept dry during one lot of heavy rain.I’m not sure it’s going to last very long after all it’s plastic don’t expect to much then you will not be disappointed would I buy again then no I would not.
Margaret –
After a bit of a struggle to erect the end product was good
Fiona –
Pleased that this storage bench easily holds all my outdoor cushions for 6 seater patio set and bench cushion. Keeps rain out and weighty enough not to blow about on our patio.
sheila camis –
some of the components did not fit properly and we had to glue them so that they stayed together
Mike Atfield –
Really handy outdoor bench, easy to assemble in approx thirty minutes, we find it handy for storing recycling boxes, two of them fit snugly inside. The seat is nice and deep and comfortable to sit on.
Bugsy –
Had this bench seat for sometime now and it is so useful. Very strong construction and easy to put together. I have put a few heavy garden slabs inside, as it is very prone to moving when it gets a bit windy. Otherwise it is excellent. I would highly recommend it.
T F SMITH –
I had a couple of problems with the backrest and seat which I have reported. I received a prompt reply on both occasions, but because I don’t have the facility to send them pictures it seems they cannot help me. All I need is a new backrest and the plastic seat because the present one has warped.
madspaniel96 –
Had the seat for 6 months now. Easy to put together. Use it to keep recycle rubbish out of sight. Has been in the garden in all weather. As good now as the day I bought it. Should easily last another 10 years
Amazon Customer –
Looks very smart & takes all my garden tools & other odds & ends with room to spare! This is the second unit I purchased. Recommended!
gazzaman –
Mmmm,tough one,it seems so flimsy while under construction but once complete and in situ against a wall is quite robust.One or two minor problems with poor fittings were overcome and was built in an hour.It certainly looks good with loads of storage room but what state will it be in 2 or 3 years from now after the onslaught from the Yorkshire weather?Not sure I would buy again, would probably go for the cream version which is alot cheaper for some reason.Time will tell I guess.
Susan –
It looks great now it is assembles, I did this by myself so it was a bit difficult, there is still one piece at the back of the bench that I couldn’t quite make fit, I think that’s more down to me than the bench itself. It stores loads of stuff and I discovered it’s better than a recliner to lie on with a pillow at your head, the plastic heats up and I spend some very relaxing times soaking in the sun (well, while we had the sun). So overall, really pleased with it.
Cariad –
Just as I expected. It is spacious and holds all what I wanted. It was also easy to assemble. the dark colour fits in with the garden furniture and it hides the dirt, if you know what I mean. The rain does settle on the top but I use a towel to dry it whilst cleaning the bench. I would not have bought the wooden bench which was very expensive if I had seen this one first. I’m glad I decided to give it a try.
Mrs T Nottingham –
We had a bit of a problem when setting this up but we emailed the supplier and he couldnt help us enough wonderful and a very nice product .
