I bought this for my daughter's room. which is decorated in ponies. The assembly was fairly easy, I did it myself. The toy box is kinda small, you can't get many toys in it. I ended up using it as her laundry hamper instead.

My daughter-in-law wanted this for my granddaughter's first birthday so I ordered it. Can't say I'm happy with it as it is too small to be of much real use for storing toys but it does hold most of her stuffed animals. I personally would rather have liked to make a toy chest for her but she insisted on this one.

It was easy to assemble and the parts all fit together nicely. The top is lightweight which is good because it comes completely off and is not attached by safety hinges found on most kids' furniture. A very small child could get their fingers caught under the lid but hopefully without too much injury because it is so light. My granddaughter figured the lid out at age 1 so it can be done.

If the toddler in your life likes polka dotted ponies, this may just be the toy chest for you, but be sure you'll be satisfied with the small size.

I agree with the previous reviewers that this horse toy chest looks very cute. But cuteness isn't everything.
1. Too small, much smaller than it looks in the picture. Beware of the length 29", it includes the length of horse head.
2. The boards of the toy chest were too thin and too soft. Shabby looking, I won't even let my toddler sit on it in fear of breaking it apart. The horse head board is the only piece that looks sturdy.
3. The instruction of installation not helpful. I don't understand why it needs screws in two different length. The longer one only increased the difficulty of screwing in. It took me some time to figure out the direction and position of each board. And some of them are exchangeable.
4. The cover and the box are not connected by hinge. In some sense, it is not convenient.

This is a very cute toy box. A little smaller than I would have liked, but it fits all the daughters books in it nicely. It was a little difficult to put together, but once it was done it is very cute!!!
