Ours survived the few feet of snow that we got this winter. I checked inside and all the cushions etc. are bone dry, no sign of any moisture damage, mold etc. Pleasantly surprised!

22" deep or top to bottom, 21" front to back, 36" wide or side to side.

How is it possible to get such widely different inside measurements? Is everyone talking about the same model?

Ours leaked a little. Since we use it to store relatively expensive seat cushions, we decided to do what one reviewer did and line the seams with caulk. Boy did we get lucky! I was at Lowes and saw a tube of GE silicon II (3-hr rain ready yadda yadda) in LIGHT GREY. I thought that it was a close match for this box. I caulked on the outside, 4 verticals, and 4 horizontals around the bottom, the match is INCREDIBLE. It's like this caulk was specifically made for this finish. If I were Lifetime, I would include a tube of this caulk in every purchase. I will report back after the first good rain. AA
