Suncast Resin 77 Quart Wicker-Look Outdoor Patio Cooler with Wheels, Hinged Lid, Built-In Storage Basket and Cabinet for Outdoor Entertaining, Java

I'm not sure why people are claiming the instructions aren't detailed. Our instructions are a full book. Every part is lettered, everything is laid out in detail. Unless you're not READING and just using the pictures? As well people are saying it's not insulated??? Did you throw away the styrofoam? It's definitely insulated. Finally all those saying it takes two to put it together? Not if you follow the instructions step by step it doesn't. This is an amazing addition to any patio. Absolutely zero complaints so far. Also if your lid won't close it's because you installed the plastic hinge for the lid backwards. We did the same thing, turned it around and lid closes perfectly. Will update if something changes.

My neighbor had these in his backyard and my husband and I thought they were the coolest things!! So I bought one! I get tons of compliments on them every time we have a party and people often mistake it for something else than a cooler. Even when I point it out to them they have to stand there and take a look at it to figure out what it is and how to work it lol! I like how it has a tray on the side that you can put up or down and a little carrier on the side where you can put out napkins or utensils or other things. It has a bottom compartment on the bottom to where you can hold more stuff such as other napkins and utensils or maybe even more drinks. The actual cooler part holds a ton of drinks!! I mean, I am able to put in like 4 boxes of capri suns in there and maybe 3-4 6 packs of soda and even a handful of bottled waters! The drinks stay cold in there, even over night and all you have to do is just drain it and all the liquid comes out. It's totally easy to clean also! There is a matching garbage container too!

I nearly passed on this item after reading people reviews about difficult assembly. It took me less than 15 minutes and the instructions were very clear. It seems sturdy and looks great. The insulation is basically just a sheet of styrofoam so I don't expect the world out of that, but for my use I think it will do the job very well. It's larger in capacity than I expected including the lower compartment, and as far as I am concerned I am quite happy with it. I plan to use it for my backyard margarita bar. Will store my glasses and supplies in the cooler when not in use, and roll it back away when finished. Don't hesitate to buy based on the folks claiming assembly took four hours. I have no idea if the directions have changed over time, but there aren't enough pieces to assemble to even justify such a review. For me, the only thing I can do without is the paper towel holder. I'm unlikely to use it, and it just adds to the size. I will be removing that part shortly.

I love Suncast products. The written directions are not always very clear, but anyone with half a brain can put their products together! Once together, they look good and are sturdy. This cooler keeps ice and drinks cold, even on a hot day (granted, I do have it sitting under an awning and not in direct sun) and I am pleased with it. The only negative is the plastic piece that keeps the lid from going all the way back .... it also keeps the lid from closing all the way, which doesn't hurt anything - except the aesthetics (like a picture that is just a tiny bit crooked on the wall). All in all - well worth the cost. Love Suncast and can't wait to see what other products that come out with!

Fairly easy to assemble - straightforward instructions. It looks very nice out on our deck. We have the garbage can that matches. The wheel-locking mechanism is not terribly secure. Be careful if it's even a little windy - ours blew over on a day that was just sort of breezy. The cooler was empty so I guess light enough to fall over - the handle popped off and the front edge of the lid got badly scraped. I was able to put handle back on and everything functions but can't do anything about the scrapes. When empty, keep this somewhere secure (in your garage? shed?) so it doesn't roll/tip over. You can't put drinks in here that are not already cold - if you do, they won't GET cold just from sitting in ice. They'll stay nice and cold in there but only if already cold from your refrigerator. You'll need at least a couple bags of ice. When draining, you have to kind of use your fingers to pinch and pull up the inner white lining to create a sort of funnel - this way all the melted ice can run right out the center drainage hole.

A good addition to our patio/pool area! Pros: Plenty of room for beverages for a medium sized party, with place for mixers on the side and kids drinks below in the compartment. Durable, aesthetically pleasing and matches our deck box, cabinet and lounge chairs..Clever design to drain it by simply pulling a plug and empties perfectly every time with a hose coming out the bottom. Cons: you can't drain it at the end of the night because the plug is at the bottom and it's nearly impossible with ice sitting on top of it to 1. reach the plug because it's freezing 2. unplug it because the plastic is so hard from the freezing temperature.Overall a good addition to summer/fall festivities.If it was a refrigerated compartment that would be ideal, then you can keep beverages in long term!
