Pick 2

Best larger resin compartment

Verdict

The larger Keter compartment reference when its 140 cm width and 265 L storage volume fit the measured location and intended contents. Trade-off: Its greater width is a meaningful small-patio compromise, and published capacity does not establish cushion fit, surface suitability or assembly outcome.

Pick 4

Best stated 164 L wooden reference

Verdict

The narrower-width Outsunny reference when 112 cm overall width and a stated 164 L compartment suit the measured patio.

Choose this if / Avoid this if

Rule out poor-fit options before comparing finer details.

Avoid if

  • The exact identity differs
  • Location access or intended contents are unresolved
  • Surface exposure care or assembly requirements do not fit
  • Current official product evidence or source-only action is unavailable
  • You need measured comfort durability weather or assembly evidence

Dealbreakers

  • The official source no longer binds identity facts image or action
  • A sibling product supplies a missing fact
  • The measured footprint or internal compartment does not fit
  • Surface exposure care assembly delivery or returns remain unacceptable

Check before buying

  • Confirm the exact SKU and delivered identity
  • Measure the full external footprint and access route
  • Measure intended contents against internal dimensions
  • Preserve lid seating and walking clearance
  • Check surface exposure cover and care requirements
  • Follow current assembly instructions
  • Check delivery warranty and returns

Choose another shortlist if

  • Choose a storage-box route when seating is unnecessary
  • Choose a larger storage route when measured contents exceed the compartments
  • Defer purchase until dimensions access surface exposure care and assembly checks close

When another role fits better

The first option is a useful starting point, not a universal winner. Move another role ahead when its use case, fit or ownership trade-offs match you better.

Known limitations

UK Shortlists has not measured comfort capacity weather exposure care assembly durability or fit on a particular patio.

FAQs & alternatives

Do published capacity and dimensions prove that my cushions fit?

No. Measure every intended item and the internal opening and compartment before buying.

Do current product controls prove future stock?

No. They are fresh source checks only; availability and delivery must be rechecked at checkout.

Why are the four selections Keter and Outsunny?

These four exact records closed this bounded evidence contract. The route does not claim whole-market coverage.

Did affiliate commission set the order?

No. Every action is a non-affiliate source reference and roles follow route-specific evidence.

Also consider

  • Use a storage box where seating is unnecessary
  • Use indoor or sheltered storage when exposure or material care is unsuitable
  • Defer purchase until dimensions contents access surface and assembly checks close
