Melissa & Doug Toy Chest, Wooden Toy Storage Box with Safety-Hinged Lid, Kids Toys Storage Organizer for Playroom, Bedroom, & Montessori Classroom Furniture for Boys & Girls Ages 3+

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

This is a well-made, pretty toy box. It took only a few minutes to assemble. Opens and closes easily and smoothly. Clearly a safe toy box for little ones.

We’ve had this toy chest in our playroom for about two years now, and I’m honestly impressed by how well it checks all the boxes. Sturdiness: Right out of the box, you can feel how solid this thing is. It’s not flimsy particleboard—it’s actual wood, and it holds up to daily toy explosions from our 4-year-old. My son even climbs in and out of it sometimes (we’re working on that 😅) and it hasn’t budged or wobbled. Ease of Use: Assembly was super manageable. Clear instructions, no missing parts, and it came together in under an hour with just a screwdriver. The cut-out handles on the sides make it easy to move if needed. Latches: One of my favorite things: the safety hinge! The lid has a slow-close mechanism that prevents it from slamming shut—total peace of mind when little fingers are around. It stays open at various angles, too, so you don’t have to prop it up manually. Size: It’s surprisingly spacious! We fit an entire zoo’s worth of stuffed animals, a bunch of Hot Wheels tracks, books, and a soccer ball, and there’s still room left. Great for keeping the floor from turning into a minefield of Legos. Weight: Heavy enough to feel durable and secure, but still light enough that I can slide it around if needed. I’d say it’s the perfect middle ground. Color: The gray is beautiful—neutral but modern. It blends perfectly with the rest of our playroom furniture and doesn’t scream “kiddie” in a way that clashes with your decor. If you’re looking for a toy chest that’s functional and attractive, this one’s definitely worth it. Would absolutely recommend to other parents looking for something long-lasting and safe.

This toy chest is very well made and the instructions were great very easy to assembly..It holds a lot of toys we love it!!

The toy chest came in a nice sturdy box and all everything was well protected from incidentals in transit. The sturdiness and finish are great. I LOVE that there is an air hole on the back panel in the event a child becomes trapped. My only two complaints are that the pre-drilled wholes for that lid brackets do not alone with the brackets themselves; there was also a missing hole. The second complaint/suggestion would be a soft or slow close lid. It's absolutely beautiful.

Christmas gift for grandson. Nice and large

I bought this to chest because it's made of solid wood. The only part that isn't solid wood is the bottom panel. My toddlers love it, and sit in it like a bath tub. My house is a lot cleaner now because the toys all have a home and my toddlers actually like putting their toys away into this toy box, whereas they always tipped their old plastic one over and wouldn't put anything into it. It looks nice too. However, I kneeled on it the other day and it made a cracking sound so if you're an adult sized person you probably shouldn't do that. (I couldn't find any damage though.) But for my children who probably weigh a combined 70 pounds or so, it's perfect. It does hold a lot of toys and closes softly. 5/5 stars. Great product.

This held enough toys to clean up living room. I did not experience any problems with lid not staying closed. Perhaps when I put it together and screwed in the hinges, the top lid slightly cme out askew and it rubs the side and that prevents it from coming up because of that slight rubbing. Easy assembly. It's small but holds a lot. And looks great.
