Melissa & Doug Wooden Toy Chest - Espresso

Very nice toy chest! Easy to assemble and very sturdy! Looks very nice and love the color options! I definitely recommend

I was a little leery of ordering due to issues others had with wood splits and holes in wrong places or not deep enough, but ours was perfect. The finish matches our other furniture and is attractive enough to be in the living room. It is a nice toy box for holding stuffed animals, toys, and games for young and old visitors alike. We followed the instructions step-by-step, most importantly not tightening the screws until the whole thing was assembled, and they snugging them all up without trying to make them too tight so the wood would not split. It is nice and study and we are very pleased with it.

Love them! We ordered two for my girl and my boys. They have so much storage we only really need one. Good quality they should hold up just fine for my little ones. They look pretty nice as well! Two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼

We love this toy chest. It is the perfect size. Quite large and fits a ton of toys, but not to big to take up a lot of room in our apartment. It looks very nice and functions quite well. The hinges used are quality and they allow for very easy operation. The lid stays open in any position and never comes crashing down because the hinges hold it in place. This is a important feature because the first thing my 9 month old baby did was walk up to it, open and close the lid multiple times while taking several breaks to stick his head in the toy chest and see what is in there. This toy chest is very safe so I have no worry of it hurting my curious little baby. It is also the perfect height so our 9 month old can stand up and hold onto it, operate the lid himself, and reach a few toys that are closer to the top. The wood is a good compromise between durable hardwood and lower cost particle board. I am sure it could support children who want to sit on it and maybe a light weight adult, but it is really not designed to be used as a bench. Before this toy chest came toys were everywhere. Pilling up in corners and hard to clean up at the end of the day. We needed a toy chest so onto amazon I went. I have a few other of Melissa and Doug's products and they are all made very well and our baby has loved them. I was happy to see that they make a toy chest so I have something to contain all the toys they sold me. I think this toy chest is a good price point and uses durable enough materials to last a long time. It is also nice that it comes in different colors so that you can match your decor. Building this toy chest was very easy, anyone could do it. It only used one tool and took about 20 minutes or less. After I built it I noticed that the lid did not align well and it would crash into the side of the toy chest when I closed it. So I loosened the screws, realigned the lid and then fastened the screws. Problem was solved. It also mentions in the instructions to wait until it is full assembled before you fully fasten all the screws. I found that it was important to have the chest on level ground when fastening all the screws and not have two legs on and two legs off the carpet like I did at first. I would recommend this to anyone who has a baby or child with a lot of toys. It is really nice to have a place to put all the toys at the end of the day and also control how many toys are out in the play area at one time. I look forward to using the toy chest as a teaching tool to help my son learn how to tidy up after himself. This is an investment that will last a long time in any child's bedroom or play area and it is certainly worth the money. ---***If you found my review helpful please click the helpful button below :) Thank you***---

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.
