We received this toy box as a gift for our son when he was 1. I love the fact that it also has the book shelf and top shelf as well as the door feature to "hide" the toys. When our son was younger we would pick up his toys and close up playtime for the day - he knew it was almost bedtime when we would put the lid down. The book shelf has not held books yet as they pull them right down but we do store some of the more played with stuffed animals on these shelves. They sit in perfectly and are easy to find for our children. The opening for the toy box is low enough for our toddlers to get their own toys in and out. We have had this toybox for almost 2 years now and it still looks brand new. It has only been inside and the color has not faded. My 2 & 3 yr old have climb onto, banged into, thrown toys at, and much more and shows no wear & tear. A little bit pricier than the regular toy box but worth it for the extra features of shelves and closing lid that does not shut unless pulled shut by someone. No pinched fingers or trapping with this one! Another great buy/product from Step2

I love our Lift & Hide Bookcase Toy Chest. We recently bought this for our 8 month old son, who is crawling and pulling himself up on anything he can hold on to. I leave the door lifted open and he can literally reach inside to grab at his toys. It's durable construction means that we don't have to worry about him pulling it down on top of himself or banging into any sharp corners. All edges are rounded and smooth. My favorite feature is the bookcase. We wanted to be able to keep the books separate from the toys so that they could be accessed more quickly. I would highly recommend this toy chest and think that it is well worth the money. I know it will last a very long time.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 2 1/2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER LAST YEAR
IT IS DURABLE, HUGE STORAGE SPACE, SAFE CORNERS AND LID.
THE CHILDREN CAN LIFT THE LID THEMSELVES WITH EASE, BUT
IF YOUR LOOKING TO KEEP THE BOOKS ON THE SHELF AT THIS AGE
DON'T COUNT ON IT, I ONLY HAVE ONE SAFETY PRECAUTION AT THE AGE OF 1 TO 2 BE CAUTIOUS YOUR CHILD DOES NOT SIT ON THE EDGE. MY DAUGHTER HAS FELL IN BACKWARDS MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT!(NEVER SERIOUSLY HURT, BUT FRIGHTENED) THANK GOD SHE'S TOO BIG TO FALL IN NOW BUT SHE DOES CLIMB IN WITH ALL THE TOYS AND HAS A BLAST JUST SITTING IN THEIR WATCHING TV AND THE LID CAN NOT CLOSE ON HER. EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR A TOY BOX,AND BOOK SHELF WHEN OLDER.
