What are the dimensions of this thing?
Wayfair says: 31.5"H x 58"W x 11"D, which seems wrong. (also, this volume is about 80 gallons)
Home Depot says: 26.75"H x 55.5"W x 27.5"D which seems more plausible as this is about 173 gallons, which seems like a reasonable exterior volume for 134 capacity.
The Rubbermaid site appears to agree with Home Depot, but the site hangs when trying to switch to the XL version, so not super confidence inspiring.
Huh, must have missed that (or someone from woot added it after the fact)… But more interesting is that those dimensions don’t match any of the other ones I found, lol… but it is becoming standard for Woot’s dimensions to be, at best, vaguely related to reality.
It wasn’t there in the 4 minutes between our two posts?
And the pictures usually come from Amazon.
(Please note: I don’t work for Woot, I just volunteer to help out here on the forums.)
Anyone else having trouble assembling this thing? I’m pretty sure that if I follow the directions, I’m going to have pointy screws coming out the side of the box.
Was woot selling these because they’re defective?
Hello. No. These were new from Amazon inventory.
Ok, after a break and some mallets, I was able to get through the instruction book. There are 2 corner brackets that have their own instructions… they aren’t mentioned in the main book (either as parts, or as something to install).
The left is the parts list in the instructions… the right is the supplemental instructions/bracket that are unmentioned (and there are 2 sets of the brackets/screws/instructions on the right).
Also no mention of these brackets in the rubbermaid instructions… but there are screw “holes”, so I just went ahead and installed one set
Probably a late addition to increase stability of the corners.
