Summary: Home Run
Comment: This item is exactly what I was looking for to store baseball equipment for a couple of coaches. It worked out so great I bought (3) three more. Thanks Rubbermaid.

Summary: Solution to the fall-apart problem
Comment: I had previously reviewed this product with one-start for falling apart all the time. After contacting the company, I was advised to turn the floor of the container over. I did. It solved the problem. The parts fit together much more securely. So give this a shot.

Summary: Don't believe the poor design and construction reviews
Comment: The construction is a bit unorthodox as there are no screws that hold it together but once it is together, I was able to pick it up and move it without any issues. When putting on the side pieces I noticed that there are two pins that need to go into holes of the front and back panels. You can force the box together without making sure the pins go into the holes which would probably make for a sloppy fit. I imagine that is what happened with the people who's box fell apart.

Overall, this is a great box and they have accessories for it also. I am using it to hold hot tub and grill supplies.

Summary: Hit or Miss Quality
Comment: We have a pool area with a whole bunch of Rubbermaid storage products, most a few years old or more. They've been great with no wear or fading so when we wanted to replace a non-Rubbermaid deck box we bought two of the 5f21 model.

I have to say I was disappointed to see some of the changes since my older models. One of the units left larger gaps where the modular pieces fit together, large enough that I felt water would get in. This unit also came with scratches on the front panel and was missing the plastic strips which are designed to keep the lid from exceeding 90 degrees when opened. Interestingly, the other unit assembled snuggly without any gaps.

My main gripe with the new design is the lid can no longer just snap closed to the main compartment anymore, instead just resting loose on top. There are matching loops to attach a lock, which I strongly suggest you slip something into to keep that lid on in a good wind. I can't figure out why they felt compelled to remove such a simple feature.

Summary: poor construction
Comment: I cannot believe that Rubbermaid would sell this product. It's hard to believe that an engineer designed such a faulty box. The pieces fit together but are not screwed or fastened in any way. It literally falls apart when you open it. Probably the most poorly constructed thing I have ever bought.
