Suncast Resin Patio Storage Bench
Finally…an outdoor storage bench that does live up to its promises.
by: Stan Horst
I’ve looked at outside storage benches in the past, but never saw any that stood out to me. Most were glorified boxes and quite unattractive, and some looked like they’d fall apart the first time I sat down on them! And of course, it was important to me that the things I stored inside the bench were well protected from the environment. So I spent some time doing research to find the best storage bench on the market, and finally settled on the Suncast Resin PB6700 Storage Bench.
Quality Construction Does Count
It is easy, when looking for an outdoor storage bench, to go first for what looks good. Although it is true that you’d want your bench to settle attractively into its surroundings, and the PB6700 does this nicely, the quality of it is equally, if not even more, important.
This Suncast Resin Patio Storage Bench is proudly made in the USA with a quality resin that will hold up to the elements. As one customer wrote in her Amazon review, “It has not a single crack. It was a good buy. Have had it 4 years.” This quality resin, coupled with the stay-dry design, ensures that the items in your storage bench won’t get wet no matter how often or how hard it rains. And the 35 lb weight is light enough to move it where you want it, but heavy enough to keep any little wind from blowing it around.
It’s all about the storage…
Of course the reason you buy a patio or deck storage bench is for the storage, and the Suncast PB6700 Storage Bench won’t disappoint. The large 50 gallon size, with inside measurements of 47 ¾ x 17 ½ x 16 ½ provides plenty of room to store nearly anything you might want to keep outside. It can be used for tools, patio cushions, bird feed, dog food, cleaning supplies for the car, blowers, cords, weed killers, plant food, pool supplies, and more. And the stay-dry design mentioned earlier means that you can store whatever you want with the confidence that it will be protected from the elements.
Of course, you’d also want your bench to be sturdy, good looking, and comfortable. The decorative appearance of this Suncast Bench with the rounded back fits attractively in nearly any environment. The sturdy bench seats two people very comfortably, with overall measurements of 52 ¾ x 21 x 34 ½ (W x D x H).
Easy to Assemble
The Suncast Patio Storage Bench is a snap to assemble, with easy-to-follow instructions to make sure you don’t get confused. Its innovative snap-together design is great, because you won’t spend time looking for your hammer, wrench, and screwdrivers. It should take no more than 10 – 15 minutes, and can be assembled by practically anyone, without using any tools, although a rubber mallet might help to make your job a little easier.
What Other Are Saying
