What do you get in the box
In the box will be a dark brown powder-coated steel framed bench with a resin wicker basket drawer for storage. The drawer will slide out for the recovery of your stored goods, it is divided into two sides for separating your goods. Your goods will not be out of the weather, do not store things that will be damaged when getting wet.
The seat and back have steel bars for support, I would recommend a bench cushion if using it for long-term sitting, see my suggestions here. With the open slat design, the storage will not be weatherproof.
The instructions state that the capacity of this bench is 250 pounds, I think it will still hold two adults if needed. I think the 250 is for each side, it did not give any with my 200 pounds of butt.
The bench is 51 inches wide, 22 inches deep, and 34 inches high. The seat is 16 inches off of the ground surface and 18 inches deep. Each side of the storage boxes is 23 inches wide, 17 inches front to back, and 11 inches deep.
Assembly of your Storage Bench with Baskets
There is a lot to assemble here as you have to put together a bench and then a large drawer storage box. Let us start with the bench first, having four hands will help make this process easier.
Attach arms to the seat base, attach back to the arm assembly. Attach two supports to the back of the seating area, then attach drawer support to legs and supports.
Now let us tackle the drawer. Attach the back to the bottom panel, then add the middle support. The front panel is next, followed by each end panel. Do not tighten the screws until it is fully put together and sitting on a flat surface, this will help in squaring all corners and smooth operation of the drawer.

What I think about this Storage Bench with Baskets
The Better Homes and Gardens Camrose Farmhouse bench is a fine wicker-based storage bench with wicker baskets. Would be great around the pool for the pool toys when not needed, not as good for cushions. The biggest drawback that I can see with it is the fact that your goods are not out of the weather. The powder-coated finish and resin wicker will last a long time in the outdoor elements with little care.
If you need seating with storage out of the elements, look at some of my suggestions here.

Looks like a great bench John. We have a great space on our back deck that this would fit perfectly. It also matches our other patio furniture. One issue we’ve had in the past with patio furniture, however, is rusting. We’ve had some pretty ugly rust stains left on our old concrete porch, so don’t want any of those on our nice new wood deck. Have you noticed any rust or seen any negative reviews on the product concerning rusting?
Ryan,
This will rust over time if it get scratched or dented, proper repairs will take care of this. If it is left in one spot and not damaged it will last a long time without rusting. I have not had any trouble with any of my resin wicker metal frames.
