47 Gal. Patio Storage and Prep Station

I just purchased this prep station and was excited to get it assembled. First off, I noticed that the photo of the item on the box was so much nicer than the actual product inside. But I was optimistic and hoped it would look better once assembled. Then I discovered that some of the hardware was missing. I called customer service to see about replacement nuts and bolts but gave up after being on hold for over ten minutes. I went to the Suncast website and looked up the prep station only to find that they do not offer any replacement parts. I cannot complete the assembly because the screws that I need are missing completely. If I had at least one, I could take it to the store to match up and purchase more. But not in this case.

It turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Not to hard to put together. And options for the hooks! I love it. I have had it for about to months, and use it for gardening.

Easy to assemble, works great next to our patio set. Ample storage. Could use one more narrow depth shelf inside.

Sturdy and well made. I buy all Suncast products and this one was great too.

I was wanting something in which to store my hot tub supplies in, have a surface to sit things on, and open like a cabinet. This was about the only thing in this price range that met that criteria and it is working out great. There were no parts missing and the directions were clear. There are a lot of screws and it goes a lot faster with a drill. The only problem we had was sliding the sides down in to the back and then snapping the tabs in to the bottom. Thart took a lot of force at just the right angle and you also have to be careful not to dent the plastic. The only complaint on fit and finish is that the handles dont line up precisely on the doors. The inside holds more than you think and even though the sun is beating down on it half of the day the contents stay remarkably cool. I have it sitting underneath the eaves and though we have had some heavy rain the contents of the cabinet have not gotten wet. The wheels as re handy and two of them lock. So on a aggregate patio it does not move around. For what this is I think it serves a lot of purposes. It is not nearly as expensive as a wood cart but looks pretty good and understated on the patio. Its great for drinks and an ice bucket, snacks, or even as a planting station. I would buy again.

I'm female & 57y.o. and put it together by myself. I studied the instructions first to ensure I knew what I was doing and what to expect. I took lots of time and went slowly. It came together very well. What ever you do, double check (triple check) the position of a piece before screwing it in! Screws into plastic aren't a great thing to start with so having to pull it out and move over 1/8th of an inch isn't going to cut it. Also, don't think you can grab a mallet to work a piece into place...it dents! Following the instructions, going slow, and triple checking really pays off. Once it's together it's a solid piece and handsome to boot. I'm using mine as a potting table that sits under a porch in the shade full time. You can leave the bottle opener and/or the hooks off of it (optional). Also, you can attach the hook (plate) inside the door. I put it inside the door and hang gardening tools on it. I'm using the huge cutting board to protect the countertop when I'm potting plants.

I purchased this product to use as a potting station . I absolutely love it for what I need it for, I can hang my gardening tools on the side for you would normally hang your grilling instruments. And all my supplies fit perfectly on the shelves inside! I also purchased a small deck unit that sits next to it to hold my fertilizers and potting soils! Makes starting cuttings very convenient! I've had it for approximately six weeks now and would not want anything else!

Supper simple to put together. Great use for when cooking out.

Perfect for prep table and the best part is I can wheel it inside after I use it. All my grilling equipment fits inside and I even added a paper towel holder and spice rack to the top. Also pictured is a charcoal grill I also purchased from Home Depot.

Showed a cutting board and does NOT has it. Is the worst buy ever. I would never recommend to no body. It is good for nothing. I would not RATE it at all.
