Outdoor storage has to handle two jobs at once: tuck away patio cushions, pool toys, and garden tools, and still look like a bench you'd actually sit on. When the choice comes down to two resin storage benches, the trade-off is usually capacity versus added peace-of-mind details. One side offers a large black storage box at a lower listed price; the other moves to a wood-look bench with protective construction claims.
Quick verdict
If you want maximum hidden storage for the lowest entry point, the Resin Box bench is the straightforward pick. If you prefer a resin bench that spells out the construction details and a seating weight limit, the Solana is the more reassuring option.

Where each wins
Resin Box bench: It gives you the larger interior and the lower listed price, making it the volume-conscious, cost-conscious pick in this pairing.
Solana 70 Gal grey bench: It brings the details. The listing explicitly states weathertight and impact-resistant construction, a wood-look resin body, and a seated weight capacity. If those specifications matter to you, this bench is the one with the extra assurance.
Product notes
Outdoor Storage Bench Resin Box
This is the volume-first choice. Its 80-gallon capacity is 10 gallons larger than the Solana's, and the listed price is $169.19. The dimensions are 52.8 in. long, 22.6 in. wide, and 32.3 in. high, so it's a substantial seat with a black finish. The practical difference here is that the Resin Box listing focuses on the core storage-bench design, while the Solana listing adds protective specifications. For shoppers who want the most capacity at the lower price point, this black Resin Box bench keeps it simple.
Solana 70 Gal Grey Storage Bench
This is the details-focused option. It lists weathertight and impact-resistant construction, a grey body with a wood-look texture, and a 551-lb seating capacity. The exterior dimensions are 54.6 in. long, 23.4 in. wide, and 32.8 in. high, so the footprint is very close to the Resin Box bench, just in grey. The interior is 70 gallons, and this is the higher-priced of the two, but you get a specific weight ceiling and a clearer picture of what the bench can handle. If you want a seat that can comfortably hold two or three people and a listed weather-protection claim, the Solana's price buys that clarity.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Resin Box bench when your main priorities are larger storage capacity and a lower listed price. Choose the Solana 70 Gal when you want the protective construction claims and a specific 551-lb seating limit. Both are lockable, so the real question is whether the Solana's extra detail is worth the roughly $76 price gap to you.
