Rotomolded coolers vs cheap plastic coolers: Rotomolded wins if you need a seat or table

Rotomolded coolers are built like tanks with thick walls and flat tops, holding ice for days without flexing under your weight. Cheap plastic coolers wobble, crack, or collapse when sat on, and their lids warp or latches break within a season. The trade-off is price—Yeti Tundra 45 is ~$300, RTIC ~$200—but you buy once and it lasts years.
