We bought this toy chest to put dog and cat toys in. Because we have it placed in our living room, we were looking for a nice quality chest. Many years ago, we had this toy chest in white for one of our children, and the toy chest is still used today in the playroom of our grandchildren. So, we understood the toy chest's quality before making the purchase. The toy chest is a great way to keep a little organization in a chaotic mess of toys. We love the wood. As you can see from the picture, we had a custom cushion made. We have a cat who camps out and looks out the window. Great purchase.

Nice looking and overall good quality. However, a slightly uneven floor will cause the chest to deform. Once out square, the lid rubs one on side when closing and leaving a gap on the other.

My kid loves opening and closing this toy chest. I was expecting the safety hinges to be slow closing, but they're actually locking hinges that hold the lid in position after moving it. This was a very pleasant surprise and makes it much easier for my 18 month old to be able to reach in and out at his leisure.Only a couple gripes.Attaching the safety hinges felt like it was way more difficult than it should be, having to hold the lid at a precise angle to align the holes and then awkwardly tighten them far enough so they don't rip out (one did for me) when trying to position it better to finish tightening more comfortably.Also because of the very sturdy safety hinges, the lid doesn't sit against the base when you close it all the way. This created some rather annoying knocking sounds whenever you would touch the lid in the "closed" position. I solved this problem by adding some velcro strips to the contact points on either side of the hand safety gap and now there's no more knocking because of the added padding, and the lid stays shut when you close it (mostly).Lastly, as others have noted, the floor of the chest is in pretty deep for a young child to reach and it feels fairly flimsy for the volume of toys (and potentially a mischievous child) it is expected to hold. We added some pillows at the bottom to effectively raise the floor and so far it hasn't had an actual problem with the floor, but we haven't been putting much heavy things in there as of yet, and probably never will because I just cant trust that floor.All in all an excellent little toy chest.

The product arrived on time and was packaged well. Although the box had some damage to it, there was no damage to the pieces of the toy chest at all. Instructions for assembly were easy to follow and I was able to complete it by myself, but it does take some time to put together. I did check some online photos to ensure that I put the lid supports on correctly and they work fine. The chest looks great and it is sturdy enough that I don't worry when people sit on it or when my grandson stands on it. However I would not recommend putting too much weight on the inside the chest since the bottom is a piece of manufactured board that is held in by grooves on all sides. It is fine for most toys though. The only issue I have is that the lid does not close completely, leaving about a 1/8th of an inch gap on each side. This may go away later thru wear, but I will probably install some small rubber pads on the underside of the lid to keep it from making a loud "thud" every time my cat jumps on it. I still highly recommend this toy chest!

I purchased this to match the deep wood colors in our house - specifically where our kid loves to play. It's not the BIGGEST toy box you could get, but it does a great job at holding a lot of the toys we have laying around. We can easily fill it with the smaller and medium sized toys, shut the lid, and it looks like a beautiful chest in our living area.But what really sold me was the hinge system. The lid DOES NOT slam shut when opened. The lid will stay fixed in whatever position it's set to - closed, partially opened, all the way... it doesn't matter because the lid stays there. This is great for toddlers learning to explore and put things away so little fingers don't get smashed. My child can open the chest, get a toy, and I don't have to worry about the lid crashing down on his head or fingers. And with him exploring, he loves to open and close the lid to find his toys - and I feel safe to let him learn with this chest. Well worth the money for the beauty, functionality, and safety of this piece.

This toy box is well made and easy to install for the most part. The hinges were a little difficult to deal with but worked out fine.
