Roofbox UK LIVINGSTONE 1

As other reviews have mentioned, it is a bit of a job to assemble this. The instructions to do so are not clear and it would have been easier to assemble it in a different order to that shown on them. However, taking into account how much cheaper this box is compared to the high street retailers it is well worth the effort. I also had to hacksaw the brackets down otherwise they protrude up into the box and are likely to puncture the contents of the roof box. This was easily done though. I managed to get a full size pushchair in it as well as 3 medium sized holdalls and 2 other small bags and 3 or 4 large coats. Great product. Looks great when assembled. Great capacity. Happily brought our luggage down the motorway at 80mph for 4 hours with no problems. Glad I bought it.

Very reasonably priced in comparrison to other boxes of simular size.although the construction of the box itself is very good. the instructions are not very well written and the part about the clasps are the wrong way round so if you were to fit them as described the pretruding threads of the screws would foul and not close completely.on the drop down hooks that go into the lockable part the pre drilled holes are fractionally to high so they do not allow locking of the boxbut with this said and a little engineering the box can be redrilled and work perfectly. Its massive capacity is well worth the little bit of tinkering that it took.

This roof box was at least 50% cheaper than nearest similar sized competitor. It does take some time to put together, but assembly proved easier than expected. First trip has been 300 miles on motorways with high winds and driving rain. The box has behaved impeccably. No affect on stability or steering even with 60mph gusts, and contents bone dry at journey's end. Also MPG surprisingly unaffected. Perhaps -3mpg on normal results, but that's not a scientific measurement. Hence top rating for value. Only remaining question is how long it will last.

A bit flimsy, but good size. Although one side is lockable, the hinge side can easily be undone and opened. You get what you pay for. Quite easy to assemble.

Locks broke first time we used it tried to speak to seller who never got back to me ! Not good. Vault on positive side really good size and easy to assemble

I've had an interesting experience with this product:The instructionsThey're pretty dire - as other reviewers have mentioned trying to assemble it in the order it suggests would be very hard. You need to be able to look at the contens and work out how everything goes together yourself with the instructions providing some guidelines. It does require thinking ahead and if you'd struggle with something like an Ikea wardrobe, this is worth steering clear of. I'm very competent at DIY and can build a kitchen and I also have a AMsters degree in Engineering so I found this doable and it only took 1 hour 15 mins. One reviewer talks of 8 hours which unless you're very good with such things or if you try to follow the instructions I could well believe. If you're in any doubt about your abilities this is one best left! It's a shame as it would take a day to re-write some good instructions which hopefully the manufacturer may do in timeThe productIt is a bit flimsy, but seems to be up to the job. I have had a major manufacturing defect with mine - the holes for one of the locks have been drilled in the wrong place. This has made it unusable sadly.I would also have concerns about the security of it. It has hinges that consist of a screw and bolt (both ends of which are perfectly accessible from outside, indeed you fit thei hinges with the box closed). It would be trivial and a minutes work to remove the hinges and open the box without a key. In addition, it's flimsy enough that you can easily force open the lock and the box flexes and opens.THe sellerI advised the seller of the problem with the incorrectly drilled holes - I had a couple of prompt replies and after emailing photos of the defect and them going abck to the manufacturer I'm no longer getting a reply to my emails and have been left with a faulty box. I shall now chase up Amazon for a refund. Very disappointing.If it wasn't for the manufacturing defect and poor customer services, I would give this box 4 stars.

Purchased July 2012 - Sold by Total Travel & LeisureWe have now used this box for 2 summers and Its still working perfectly and still looks good!Overall Its a bit finicky getting it set up, I did have to drill new holes for my wider roof support bars, but that wasnt an issue for me.It holds a ton of stuff. Its HUGE! Its lockable and comes with lots of keys.Great for a family on a budget!

Consider this, you are paying at least one third of the price of a top end box.You get exactly what you pay for, an excellent, inexpensive product.The instructions could be clearer but half an hour will see it on your roof ready to go (I am not an engineer!)If you want a Rolls Royce then do not buy this, if however, you want a lot for a little this is it!As for the delivery and communication it is second to none.
