I’m very happy with this box. It was very easy to put together and looks nice. We use it to store shoes outside, and it sits in between our patio chairs, making a nice little table to set a drink down on. This box has certainly stood the test of weather. It’s been through many rainy days, snowy days and sunny days so far and inside the shoes remain perfectly protected. I definitely recommend this box! Please note, the black color actually looks a little brownish to me. That wasn’t a big deal to me though, but if you’re looking for a deep black color, please keep that in mind.
