Ann, Skipton

Score 2.0/10

+ Attractive colours - green and cream. Good access to interior - as long as not windy.

- Cabinet design and structure is flimsy. Construction was diffificult. Panels did not align properly - therefore they would not clip/lock together securely. No means of securing lid when open, therefore can't lift lid and leave open in any breeze. Poor design of unit means it is NOT waterproof.Gap between doors allows rain water to enter. When lifting the lid, any rain water runs off the lid then down the inside of the back panel of the cabinet. Door catch/handle - flimsy design and function.

+ looks great - easy to build, enough room for most garden tools plus mower and strimmer, saves putting a base down for a shed. Plastic so no rot

- Not overly sturdy - alignment of doors / and various parts have fallen off (just needed putting back on) but quailty not the highest standard.

+ Good way to get instant outdoor storage. Quite easy to put together without any special tools. You need to be sure you get a flat base before you start.

- Couldn't get the doors to shut tightly so not sure if it will be completely weatherproof. I think the problem was because the base we had thought was flat was a bit uneven.
We bought a padlock and it holds the doors together quite well.

+ Using product as interim storage for weekly rubbish bags. Bags can be placed inside from the top and removed from the front. Product works brilliently for this purpose particularly as it has side grills ensuring non-build-up of odours.

- Can't think of any.

+ Price was excellent! It was exactly as it was advertised. It looks neat - for the purpose that I want which is to put my wheelie bin and my recycling bin in, as I only have a small garden and no-one needs to look at their bins when sitting outside do they?

- The supports for holding the lid open could possibly be sorted better. I would have liked the whole thing to have been a little bit deeper as when I put the rubbish wheelie bin in the doors would not close and I had to put it in sideways which meant I could not put by paper and cardboard boxes in too.

+ Easily assembled and very simple, no tools required. It is important to follow the instructions because once pieces have clicked in together they cannot be pulled apart without splitting the plastic.

- The lid and catch are flimsy and could be very easily broken into. Not secure for your more expensive bits.

Score 1.0/10

+ Looked good in the pics but comparred to the older models they have been downgraded greatly.

- The lid is secure when lifted up like the older models, The doors have a gap between them unlike the older models that did, The plastic holders of the underside of the lid keep popping off.
I used to swear by Keeter products but have been put off now and will never purchase them again, I have three of the older models and am very satisfied with them, Why they changed the design I just do not know. Trying to cut costs just loses customers.

+ its clean looking and a good size

- its very flimsy, nothing holds it together and the wind blows it all over the place!! This being the case everything inside gets WET and in the night the lid bangs if plant pots not stacked on the lid!! I would say its a great pruduct for 39.99! Over £100 - RIP OFF, load of crap! spend your money on beer and wine at TESCO ONLINE!!!!!

- the quality is absolutely awful. pieces started falling off almost as soon as we built it. We can no longer open the flip top lid which is really annoying.
Absolutely not worth spending more than £30 on.

+ As far as price is concerned this is a good buy, it's as good if not better quality than similar plastic storage cupboards, plenty of space. Maintainance free ! Easy and quick assembly. It serves it's purpose!

- Some parts can be a little difficult to put together, this can be overcome by using a drop of washing up liquid to lubricate these. I wouldn't place anything of value in it, as I'm not convinced it's very secure.

- Door has no overlap when closed so unless the unit is fitted onto a perfectly flat base there is a gap between the doors where the rain can seep in if the wind is blowing in the right direction. The keter version has a piece of plastic behind one of the doors to prevent this.
