Rubbermaid Compact Vertical Resin Storage Shed With Floor (2 x 2.5 Ft), Weather Resistant, Beige/Brown, Organization for Home/Backyard/Garden Tools/Porch/Patio Cushions/Pool Chemicals/Toys

great size and price

Works as advertised

I got two when they were on sale. Fairly easy to assemble by one person. Parts interlock without requiring screws. They are quite impressive as you look at the finished assembly. But then you have to think about shelves. Buy them or make your own or just use it as a broom closet. You'll discover that there are places to mount shelves but they are inadequate. The shelf slides onto a notch in back that prevents the shelf tilting backward, but not forward. If you put any weight on the front of the shelf it will tip down and drop anything there. I will add some hardware to prevent that, but it shouldn't be necessary.Then, after a year you will begin to see the large panels warp. Mine are mostly protected from the sun and rain, but the side panels are bowing out and I'm afraid the shelves will drop soon. The doors on one cabinet are warping so the top and bottom don't set in where they belong, rain could come in the top and mice could come in the bottom. They both accumulate some water on the floor (but not the shelves) during a rain. Not much; it's kinda ugly because the dust & dirt there get wet and into the texture of the floor. You can't sweep it out, but could blast it out with the garden hose. Mine are on concrete and rain water collects and gets trapped under the floor. It's not visible, probably not a problem, might attract more bugs.I discovered that you can empty the unit and move it around with a two-wheeled truck while still assembled. Very handyThey still look good overall after about 2 years. They aren't perfect, but I don't see any similar product that I would prefer.

It is a nice little tool shed

This standing rubbermaid storage container is perfect for storing outside patio furniture pillows etc. Unfortunately, it does not come with shelves, nor do they sell them as an accessory, which is odd because it does have some grooves to place shelving. I took a tip from a previous reviewer who bought a separate shelving unit. It fit perfectly. I can store 8 seat cushions and 8 pillows easily. I use the bottom shelf for my plastic dishes, cups, and utensils and there is still some room. I have it out on a back deck nestled in a corner of a bump out. It has rained several days but everything has been kept dry. Not sure how it will hold up in torrential downpours. It was extremely easy to put together- like 6 pieces groove and lock; didn’t even use a mallet. I use a carabiner to hold the doors together but you can use another locking system. It is very sturdy- excellent quality.

Okay, aside from the crazy high price, this Rubbermaid item is virtually a snap to put together!This is the second unit I've had; I left the first one at my old home when I moved. At fist I tried to save money by buying a metal cabinet I had also seen on Amazon. I wanted to save money (STUPID) and so I learned. The metal unit remains to this day in my garage, half finished, a monument to stupidity (me).This unit is easy to assemble (6 pieces) and with a second person to help, can be up and running in 30 minutes.It is outside; it must be secured somehow to prevent wind from trying to blow it down. I placed a 60 pound bag of cement on the floor of the unit, but you could also secure it to a wall with screws.This item does not come with shelves but it does have the necessary plans to make your own. I did so, and also secured them to the walls using caulking.Easy peasy!

Not rainproof! Even though in a semi-protected area, let loads of water in. Just be advised..Pretty easy to snap together.

This is my second cabinet in this size. I've had number 1 for at least 8 years. Its still in great shape. All are outside in the weather and have held up well. I made my own shelves so have no info on the ones you can purchase.
