5.0 out of 5 stars Best Decisions; Amazon and the Toy Chest, February 10, 2010

This was my first experience ordering from Amazon. It was AmazING! We are long
distance grandparents. During our last visit I saw a need for more storage of
all the toys she was accumulating. I sent pictures of toy chests from different
web sites to let the parents choose the one they liked. My daughter-in-law has
purchased many things through Amazon, and sent back the picture of this toy chest.
I ordered it and had it shipped to their home. It arrived sooner than expected.
The next week, we arrived and watched as it was assembled. It was terrific! It
was easy to put together; had all the right parts; nothing missing and nothing
left over :) The top has a wonderful safety feature that keeps it from dropping
on the child's head as she reaches in for toys, and the front of the toy box
is designed so the child can grip it and when the top closes, it does not pinch
their fingers. OK..this is long..let me say that the whole experience was won-
derful. I will order through Amazon again, and it was a pleasure to have everything
go right.

Happy Customer

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing! Poor Quality!, December 25, 2010

There are many aspects of this $170 toy box that disappoint. For that kind of money I expected a great deal more that what was delivered.

First of all, right out of the box there were missing screws. I know missing screws don't speak to quality, but I'm not done yet so stay tuned.

I was able to quickly move through the assembly process right up to the last big screw. For whatever reason the pre-drilled hole that was put into the wood was drilled too big and the screw would not screw into it and hold. I attempted to put a couple of tooth picks in the hole and the retry the screw, but I found that this toy box is not made of solid wood, but of pressed sawdust. So no matter what I tried to do, the screw would not hold; the pressboard kept crumbling away.

That leads me to my biggest frustration in paying this much for a toy box; it should be solid wood, not cheap pressboard. Nonetheless I marched ahead and figured I see what I could do with just one screw missing.

I then went ahead and tried to attach the hinges. I was able to find a screw to replace the one that never came and got the hinges attached. They are spring loaded so the lid won't close on anyone's fingers. The problem with these hinges is that they don't allow the lid to close at all. The lid sits about one inch from being fully closed and just bounces on the hinges. It looks very tacky for the lid to sit there ajar like that; especially for what's suppose to be such a high quality piece of furniture.

My overall opinion of this toy box is that it's way over priced, even if everything had worked properly. For that price the wood and materials should be first class, not crumby pressboard that crumbles apart as you try to put screws into it and lousy spring-loaded hinges that don't close all the way. I would expect sold wood and hydraulic hinges.

My advice is to steer clear of this toy box and find something else that isn't so over-priced and falls so short of expectations.

That's just my opinion. Good Luck.

I was looking for a nice big toy box. I ordered this toybox and got it in 3 days. Way faster then I thought. It was so easy to put together. I did it all by myself with my 3yr old helping. It didnt take very long and everything fitted perfectly. The directions are easy to follow and the toy box is a really good size. I would definately buy another like it. I would recommend this toy box.
