Nice, very sturdy..perfect addition to our home.

Tara-Lee, CAMPERDOWN, VIC Verified Buyer

Would give stars if the too door hinge was a bit loose. Its really tight making it hard to open and shut. Otherwise very sturdy and fits well for the purpose.

Perfect size and fit for area

Jacqui, SMITHS BEACH, VIC Verified Buyer

Great outdoor box ,looks good - I gave an extra coat of furniture oil but much the same , will be outdoors undercover . The box part assembles quickly and is strong with only tiny gaps -so not much will blow in ( see pic of close fitting bottom ) The lid is heavy and is tricky to attach with very strong spring hinge ( that allows it to open without touching wall behind and stays up ) Our tips would be pre drill the pilot holes a bit deeper and buy better quality 20mm self tapping screws ( one supplied screw sheared off ), detach spring from hinge first then attach to lid , have 2 people to attach lid to box . We will put a handle on front as others have. It looks like it will last , strong enough for 2 adults to sit on too.

Exactly as described

This is a great storage box but, as said by many reviews, it is extremely difficult to get the lid connected. Thank you to those who detailed their struggles and what they did to resolve the issues. The instructions are useless.

Bev, VIC Verified Buyer

Great storage box, it's currently in the lounge room while we wait for our deck to be repaired. We placed a couple of colourful cushions on top. Had lots of compliments. My only negative comment is the instructions for the lid mechanism was hard to follow.

Isabelle, HILTON, WA Verified Buyer

Timber quality fine for the price but no details on instructions for hing placement and very stiff, difficult to use hinges meant challenge assembly and a not so easy to open, but great looking, storage box

Aaron, Greenwith, SA Verified Buyer

Solid box, hinges need better instructions but overall a good product.

Sasha, EMERALD, QLD Verified Buyer

Really happy with this storage box. It's sturdy and strong and a great size for all our sports equipment. The lid is a bit stiff to close but otherwise it's great!

Liz, MANLY VALE, Verified Buyer

Good size. The springs are very strong, so need to be careful closing it - would not recommend around children.

Ella, RAINBOW, VIC Verified Buyer

When received it was packed well. I noted many had problems with the fitting of hinges in the comments section. I, too had the same problem, but nutted it out after some time. The springs have an Allen key slot at the base, just loosen this off and you have ample release to mount the hinge to the drill holes on the box and lid. Not a bad finish but will give it a coat of oil to help preserve the wood.

Rick, Furnissdale, WA Verified Buyer

Excellent product, well made however the instructions need an update. Not very helpful when installing the hinges.

Paul, St Kilda, VIC Verified Buyer

Nice to put shoes in and place at front door

Trish, Hampton, VIC Verified Buyer

Good size and really solid. The lid is quite heavy to open as the hinges are really stiff but quality seems excellent

Tamara, BROADBEACH WATERS, QLD Verified Buyer

This is a great outdoor box to clean up our deck. Good size The instructions to install the hinges on the other hand were non existent and need updating to avoid frustration. Overall very happy with our purchase

Howie, Burpengary East, QLD Verified Buyer

Finished up with a nice storage box but had to do a lot of work to remedy production faults that should have been picked up by quality control. Not up to T & W's usual high standards.

Hi douglas, We're sorry to hear that this didn't meet your expectations.If there's any way we can further assist you, please don't hesitate to ask.

Quality product at lower price.

Krish, NSW Verified Buyer

The finished product looks good and promises to deliver what it promises. Construction was pretty straightforward until the lid hinge stage where the instructions were unhelpful. For the record fit the hinges to the lid first. The front edge of the side plate that attaches to the box was for us 20cm from the back of the box. You could go a bit further.

Peter, ARMADALE, VIC Verified Buyer

Thus us a great storage box, although we did find it quite hard to get the spring loaded lid attached with minimal instructions provided.

Kim, KURRAJONG, NSW Verified Buyer

This was purchased as a shoe box for the front deck. It looks brilliant but putting on the hinges was a bit tricky. I’m still not sure that I have done it properly. But it’s a nice piece of furniture.

Colin, SUNRISE BEACH, QLD Verified Buyer

Looks very sturdy, but you do need to be a handy person to put it together. The spring is also very tightly sprung

kath, Tingalpa, QLD Verified Buyer

Solid, easy to assemble. Would purchase again.

Jack, Hobart Verified Buyer

great outdoor box

Michele, CHELTENHAM, VIC Verified Buyer

Bought this as a toy box and it is a good size. I specifically wanted a wooden box to suit the decor. I would say , for the price, it is very poorly made, the wood planks as thin as they could be made and no attention to any defects or alignment. It should be at least half the price for the quality.

Christine, BUDDINA, QLD Verified Buyer

Solid timber box

Peta, GOONDIWINDI, QLD Verified Buyer

Love your high quality products

Shauna, Waterview Heights, NSW Verified Buyer

Really good quality for the price. A little difficult to install the springs.

Jason, Pymble, NSW Verified Buyer

This storage box is a good size for our small portico. It looks good and can be used as an additional seat which is handy. The timber is sturdy and the springs are strong. Assembly was easy for a handy man but I would not have been able to do it myself. We plan to treat the timber even though it is under cover from rain.

Barb, Firle, SA Verified Buyer

Attractive comfortable chair looks good in the bedroom certainly an asset would recommend

Caroline, Horsfield Bay, NSW Verified Buyer

I bought the box for shoe storage and as a table/seat on my front step. It is good for this purpose but the springs on the lid are far too strong for it, so it tends to slam shut. It would be better if it had a handle (which we bought ourselves for it) so that the lid could be more easily raised and lowered. Some of the wood is discoloured too. It required a drill and some expertise to assemble.

Sarah, Ashburton, VIC Verified Buyer

Easy to assemble and feels very sturdy. Looking forward to keeping our wood in here in winter. Springs are a little stiff on the hinges so the lid bangs a bit when closing. We put some felt on the inside edges.

Kathryn, Gardenvale, VIC Verified Buyer

Wonderful product well used

Suzanne, Epping, NSW Verified Buyer

Once assembled it looks very smart and the wood smells amazing. The hinge on the lid creaks a lot and it wasn’t super easy to assemble. A bit disappointing that is isn’t water proof.

Amy, Carlton, VIC Verified Buyer

Ok, was difficult to put together and they didn't last long in the elements, recommend putting them away during winter if you want longevity.

Lucy, Botanic Ridge, VIC Verified Buyer

Unfortuantely didnt last a few down pours but T&W replaced it with instructions to oil first! New one going great!

Aaron, Surry Hills, NSW Verified Buyer

Really happy with the look and quality of this storage bench. Takes two people to assemble and you'll need a screwdriver to secure the lid. Thanks Temple & Webster!

Christina, Perth Verified Buyer

Perfect on the deck for blankets, storing candles etc, attractive. I wouldn't use it for storing kids toys because it has a very strong and quick closing mechanism

Rhiannon, Australia Verified Buyer

Fit for purpose storage box

The box was easy to assemble however when it came to attaching the hinges on the lid, two of the screws sheared off and the head broke off. Fortunately I had a handy man nearby who could drill new holes. The quality of the screws provided is very poor. Otherwise a useful product.

Susan, Healesville, VIC Verified Buyer

Usefull box - fits our requrements

Relatively easy to assemble but hinge fitting instructions inadequate. Needed to use electric drill. Two screw holes not pre-drilled, some holes not pre-drilled deep enough. Had to re-drill. Also - needed to detach spring from hinges in order to fit to box base and lid, otherwise wrong angle/fitting. Then re-attached spring and adjusted afterwards. Unsatisfactory instructions. Would be problem for 'non-handyman'.
