Keter Store-It-Out MIDI

Bought this five years ago, transported it through two moves, gone through summers with weeks of 100F+, and at least five hurricanes and innumerable storms with hard rain. It's held everything from toddler toys to using it as a kind of playhouse for preschoolers to holding small children's bikes to storing pool chemicals. This means five years of multiple daily to at least weekly use, sometimes pretty roughly. It is still going strong, and stayed waterproof and undamaged through it all.It has always been in areas against a wall or fence, in full sun for no more than four hours, and placed on pavers or concrete, supporting the floor. Still, it hasn't faded (that's pollen on the lid) and has zero cracks, zero warping, etc. Looks new aside from some minor scuffs on the interior floor.It's been a great purchase all around. I'm getting a second one to hold sports gear because this one has held up so beautifully through all of that. It costs a little more than others its size, sure, but I know it's going to last and be more than worth that difference.Only maintenance thing is make sure to clean out the gutter under the lid joint (accessible when lid is opened). I've never had the gutter drains clog (even when it got completely full of leaves, seeds, etc), but they probably can clog, which would back up water so it would go inside the shed.

This inexpensive little yard shed is easy to put together,stands up very well to the weather, and has sufficient room for a number of garden items and other items that need to be stored. I bought my first one to have a place to store our Christmas and Halloween decorations. We acquired so many additional decorations we had to buy a second one. Then we bought a third for storage while our granddaughter and her husband lived with us. When they moved out, I stored our portable propane generator in it.Then we bought number 4 and 5 for the lawn mower, rototiller, and 2 weedwackers, wheel barrow, and other garden items.We just put up number 6. I don't expect to need any more, but you never know. I know, I know, for the total of $700 we spent, we could have bought a larger storage shed that may or may not have held everything. But digging things out of a large storage she can be difficult and bothersome. Having a separate shed for each group of items is just sooo much easier.The oldest one is over 3 years old and been through all kinds of storms.no issues, no leakage, no problems.I noticed other reviewers seem to have a problem with construction, and certain design flaws. I've had none of these problems, No brittleness in the plastic even after 3 summers of full sun. This pretty tough plastic. I think you'd really have to abuse this shed to damage it the way some of the reviewers have stated.I'm sorry others have had issues. But ours are great.

The carcus of this shed is well built and durable and I give it 5 stars. However, after some time in the South (it doesn't snow, but summers are HOT), the roof started to warp and the doors REFUSE to stay on (these items get negative 5 stars). The door connectors are the same hard plastic as the rest of the container, but they don't work. They're not broken, they just don't hold up the doors. It's like this shed forgot about leg day or connection point day. With a slight breeze or even just gravity, the doors fall off. I eventually gave up and have an open door shed with the doors laying on the ground (which is mostly useless since everything inside is open to the elements). I really wanted a shed with usable doors, but this isn't it. I can't imagine what this shed would be like in a cold climate; it would probably fall to pieces after the first winter. I don't recommend it unless you only want something useable for about 6 months.

I received the Keter Woodland Storage Shed in tact, in a solid heavy box. I actually bought two of these, both arrived perfect, no damage during shipping. YOU HAVE TO REALIZE, that the SHIPPING COMPANIES are not careful with your purchases, RIGHT? I just went through a different purchase with UPS and did not get a good response to thier damages, they got away with it.The unit is all formed plastic, well designed against water infiltration, snaps together in 5 minutes and you have to put in about a dozen screws, but anyone could do it. If you don't want to do it, give the kid next door a buck and he will do it in 2 minutes.It does not come with shelves but there are places for the shelves to hang, just get a shelf and cut to fit if you are handy. Or it can take a short shelf unit. It is intended for small trash and recycle containers but this is great for storing STUFF or patio cusions and such.. On my PATIO AREA, this storage box protects a TV and STERO from the weather. Been doing it for 3 years now. In the summer it gets used almost daily.I have 2 of these storage units and will be purchasing a 3rd soon. Price VS quality, it is not that bad people.In the long run, cheaper than renting a storage unit somewhere and much more convenient next to your house or garage. Been through several rain storms and not a drop got inside, thumbs up there!! Considering the shipping, condition when arrived, ease of assembly and sturdy structure,I WILLCOMMENT on some of the FLIMSY reviews..... Having had two of these for 3 years now, I have no complaints really. The interior never gets wet. The doors close and seal and the top seals. Those pistons someone was complaining about are not to assist opening the lid, they hold the lid open. You don't need them but can be handy. The only part that I have seen a slight warp is the top. I am not sure WHY it disforms, the front corners bend up about a half inch or so. I keep a weight on each corner to keep it sealed. Even with the corners up, the rain does not get in.So, it is made of a semi soft plastic, the hinges are molded into the sides. It does keep anything inside dry. BUT it WILL NOT take the abuse of your kids hitting on it. If they break something, don't go blaming the manufacturer, you should know better.Someone else is using one of these storage sheds to protect his power generator. Iwill be doing this as well shortly.Over the 3 years I have had my 2 storage units, I have NOT seen any cracking, harsh warping and certainly NO water getting inside the storage unit.I would have given it a 5 star rate however, I cannot explain the top warping slightly. I gave it 4 stars because the interior never gets wet, the storage unit does its job.I recommend this for your storage needs.
