Suncast 77 Quart Resin Wicker-Look Outdoor Patio Cooler with Wheels - Java Brown - Perfect for BBQs, Beach Trips, and Tailgating Parties

I purchased the cooler for Father's Day, but I almost turned it down based on some of the negative comments about the "lack of insulation". If you're in the same position, trust me, it's worth it. The first time we used it, we put in a small bag of ice and some beer, and after 4 hours in 90 degree weather (partial shade), only half the ice was melted. The way the cooler part is constructed is its the hard plastic outside, then sheets of Styrofoam, about half an inch thick, on the sides and bottom and then a plastic waterproof liner. This doesn't sound like much until you think about how that waterproof liner alone is probably the same as your average soft cooler. There is no foam on the top cover, but i measured it, and it's actually thicker than one of our favorite hard coolers, and probably similar material, so that counts as insulation for me at least. Also, the cooler wasn't the easiest thing I've ever assembled, some of the pieces are a little awkward to snap together, but I was able to do it just fine on my own. I do suggest you skim the instructions before you put it together, though, or at least read them carefully while putting it together, there are a few tab/slots on the sides that I could see breaking if you don't know they're there. But the instructions are very easy to understand and point out possible pitfalls very clearly. All in all, I am so happy I bought this, my dad was (and still is) thrilled to pieces about it.
