I've just been and bought a Keter 'Store It Out Max' from BnQ for £166, they were one of the few bricks 'n' mortar shops that had the larger size in grey. Was going to get it from Argos but I needed some paving stones to sit it on so picked those up from BnQ whilst I was there.
An added bonus was discovering that the 150cm length when packed is about the maximum my Skoda Yeti can accommodate without having the steering wheel imbedded into my torso.
They are good. I use the Store It Out Max for all our garden furniture. Mine is under cover so no problem with rain getting in, but no problem with condensation. The lid of the unit can be locked to prevent the problem mentioned by @rowlandscastle444
Still need to decide how I'm going to store things in it. If I put the mower in there then it will probably take up most of the floor space, and any shelf above won't take the weight of things such as my Ooni pizza oven. I might make a free standing shelf with legs (table) so the floor takes the weight of anything on it.
Finally got around to building the Keter storage box. Decided to lay some pavers first to act as a solid base. I'll be keeping the Ooni pizza oven in it, and no doubt various other bits of junk too!
I like how the lid can open without having to open the two doors first, so you can reach in from the top. Though you do have to open the lid if you want to open the doors...
Thanks, it's located behind my garage in an area that has always been a bit messy and untidy, mostly because it can't be seen from the house or patio. But this year I'm in the process of finally tidying up that area.
I have just bought 2 Keter storage garden seats from B&M £125.00 each. They look the same as the trunks except they have backs and arms and come in combined black and grey. I am going to use one to store our revolting recycling bags in, and to sit on with a cuppa, the other one is going by the greenhouse to store the detritis used for watering, feeding, potting etc. so I do not have to trundle everything the length of the garden. Also to sit on with another cuppa. I haven't assembled them yet. I happened to see a damaged one being offered free to a good home on a local community garden web site, liked the idea and look of them, researched them on line. found my local B&M store sold them so dashed off to get them. Because my garden is so exposed I am thinking of putting a couple of paving slabs inside the bottoms to prevent them being blown about.

I've got the same one to store wooden garden furniture during winter. Yes you have to open the lid in order to open the doors, but you only have to raise it a couple of inches.
Below is the difference between the old and the new lids, that is 7 years of UV damage, so I'll be using a UV protection spray on them to try keep them in good condition.

One small thing to consider @LeadFarmer
