Good Toy Box

by K. White 2008-10-07

It was a little tough putting together. But once it was it has been a really good toy box. I painted mine to the colors of my grandaughters room with her name on it. It is adorable. The hinged lid doesnt allow it to smash small fingers. This is a good toy box.

cheap! You get what you pay for

by J. Garrett 2008-09-23

I bought this for my daughter's room, and after about a week of all her toys being in it, the bottom fell through! The bottom of it is very cheap and not sturdy at all! Then the spring eventually came off, and my daughter handed me little tiny screws out of her toy box. She's two. So I guess it's true, you get what you pay for.

NICE TOY BOX

by J. Rawlins 2008-05-14

For the price, it's a nice toy box. Good size and I love the safety close feature. I'm mother of 2 year old twin girls and they love storing their toys in it. My 7 year old son loves his as well. Holds quite a bit and great as extra seating.

Great for the price!

by Slushy Spark 2008-05-05

It was very difficult for me to find a plain white toy box under $100, but my search has paid off. This might not be a very "sturdy" product as some reviewers noted, but it's sturdy enough for our energetic toddler (at least so far) and the lid design is safe for little fingers - we had the box for a few months now and, although our daughter is constantly opening and closing the box while holding on to the sides, she's never once got her fingers caught or banged her head with the lid while closing it. I don't know if the safety "break" on the lever will withstand prolonged use, but at this price, even if it lasted a year it would be worth it, and then it would work great as a storage box even in an adult bedroom because of the simple design and color. The assembly was quite simple too although the instructions weren't great.

Pressboard, not "sturdy wood"

by Dawn K 2008-02-11

The design of this box is nice, and the finish seems good. However, I find the description inaccurate. It is not "sturdy wood" which implies it is solid wood. In fact, it is pressboard. My husband put it together in about 30 min. with "help" from our 5 yr. old. He thinks the center-mounted hinge will last a year perhaps. The lid cannot be opened perpendicular to the box, only to about a 60 degree angle. It likely will be overextended causing the screw to strip out of the pressboard lid. The other problem was the smell. We had to put it out in the garage to air out since the paint/finish smell was so strong we didn't want it in our daughter's room. We're seriously considering returning it, but it means paying shipping on other items we ordered at the same time.
