Quality of Materials and Construction

In terms of material quality and construction, our evaluation gives this product exceptional scores of 5 out of 5 for both categories. The choice of hot-dipped galvanised steel as the main construction material not only provides durability but also offers resilience against the elements. The galvanisation process creates a protective layer that significantly prolongs the lifespan of the metal, a necessary feature given the exposure garden storage often faces.

Design Features

The Lotus Heritage Green Cushion Storage Box is smartly designed with a lifting lid that allows for easy access to your garden cushions. The inclusion of a hasp and staple locking system ensures that your items are securely stored, adding a layer of safety that is especially important in public-facing gardens.

Although the box does not feature windows, this design choice allows for better privacy and security, meaning you won’t have to worry about prying eyes and unwanted attention. Those who are particularly conscious about what they store away will appreciate the maximized storage capabilities that come without compromise.

Ease of Construction

While the quality of materials and construction is top-tier, we also note an ease of construction score of 4.5 out of 5. This suggests that even those with minimal assembly experience should be able to put it together without too much hassle. The relatively lightweight nature of the materials makes it straightforward to manoeuvre into place, and clear instructions ensure that assembly is efficient.

Value for Money

At a current retail price of £249.99 from major retailers like ShedStore and BuyShedsDirect, this product is notably priced around £419 less than the average for comparable models. Coupled with its 15-year guarantee, you can be confident that this box delivers exceptional value for money, especially considering its expert ratings. Our experts rate its value for money at a commendable 5 out of 5.
