Austin Wooden Toy Box/Bench with Safety Hinged Lid, White, Gift for Ages 3+, Amazon Exclusive

Easy to assemble and solid

I purchased two of these along with two toy organizers for my children, and I - without a doubt - purchased the RIGHT toy box. It holds a very good amount of big toys (I purchased the toy organizers for legos, and other small toys so my children wouldn’t have to dig through their box to get to them) and not to be dramatic, but it’s been life changing. I’m not kidding. This has gotten my childrens rooms SO organized and well put together and they haven’t been before. I LOVE the hydraulic legs on the top which prevents little fingers from getting smashed, and I love that it doubles as a bench when they’re not playing. The boxes are so cute, well made & very sturdy. If your children are like mine and make plenty of messes, these are very easy to wipe down as well. They’re not too big and bulky but they’re the perfect size for what we needed. I searched high and low, read hundreds of reviews & settled for this box, but it definitely wasn’t “settling”. It was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I was so nervous to drop so much money on something I wasn’t 100% sure about, but now I am so happy I did. This has been one of the best purchases I’ve made to date. I can NOT recommend this toy box more.

I was totally surprised the quality and workmanship of this toy box. The toy box was very easy to put together, with excellent fit and quality hardware. The directions were very easy to follow with large illustrations and clear direction steps. The finished product looks and feels outstanding. Extremely solid and sturdy, but with simple, elegant appearance. One key feature I really liked are the hydraulic lid supports. The lid supports allow a small child to easily and safely raise and lower the toy box lid. The lid gently closes and can never accidentally close on you or a child using the box. This is an outstanding feature. Additionally, KIdKraft's customer service is outstanding. Our toy box arrived with some slight damage to the shipping carton. When I opened the box, I noticed that the toy box lid had a slight blemish that would be visible. We called customer service and they immediately shipped us a replacement lid. No questions, no need to return the damaged lid, and no hassles. Great service. This product is an outstanding value. We purchased this box for our toddler grand-daughter toys at our house. We are so please with this toy box and with KidKraft that we recommended it to our daughter and several of our friends with young grandchildren.

First-like all furniture, know that "all wood" does not mean "solid wood." This is a particle board/veneer product. Thats why you can get it for under a hundred bucks. Having said that, it's nice to look at, ours was defect and scratch-free and the espresso color, while not as dark as our espresso furniture is not as red as our cherry furniture. It just looks like traditional dark wood stain. Basically we were looking for something that looked less like kid stuff and more like furniture, fit in a family room that has dark brown leather furniture and espresso end tables, and this fits the bill, even if its not an exact match to the Espresso stain on the end tables. Easy assembly, good instructions, screws and parts labeled very well-even with individual, labeled punch outs to make it super easy. All tools except phillips screwdriver are included. I will say that some of the wood pegs did not line up to the holes, but I used a flathead screwdriver and hammer to redirect them and it was fine. Some nice features--the little-finger saving shocks that are attached to the lid. The size is nice and large for storage. (I saw complaints about the size in some reviews, but this is exact to the dimensions listed.) There is a good cutout in the front so our daughter can easily open the lid and then the shocks hold the lid up so it doesn't crash back down on her. It's very sturdy, people have sat on it and the kid has stood on it. Overall very pleased with this for the price. Only thing that would have been better is if it was solid wood, but I doubt you can find that in this size for $90 with free shipping.

I got this because as my infant has gotten older they have gotten more and more toys. This box is a good size for where we are at- it holds a large cube of toys plus his little sitting chair thing. I like that the top is sort of set up like a bench- we threw a blanket on top and the cats love to lay on it. The hinges are solid and the lid stays up with the help of two hydraulic cylinders, so that is nice that it stays up and doesn’t really slam down. The handles on the sides are an added bonus and make it easy to move around. Overall assembly took me about 20 minutes with the included hardware and a screwdriver, and I was setting it up by myself. It is solid once assembled and holds an ok amount of toys. I’m sure we will need bigger in the future. Overall 4/5. A nice product!

Even after 3 years now this toy box is still in perfect condition. It was very easy to assemble. It took maybe less than 20 min to put together. It’s a pretty good size and holds a lot of toys. Easy to wipe clean. My favorite thing about this toy box is the safety hinges on the lid so fingers don’t get pinched. Also if the lid is up, it stays up!

I got a toy box from Walmart a long time ago as a gift for my toddler. It was flimsy and the bottom broke in nearly a week. I knew I had to get an updated version as my daughter is in her last few glory years of playing with toys (although it pains my heart..) I wanted her to have something fashionable but aesthetically pleasing and not a hazard when I had her friends over for her play dates and such. So I bought this on a whim seeing its great reviews and I have to admit I’m blown away. The size is fantastic for the price. Her toys aren’t even to the top yet. And she has a lot of toys. It fits fabulously in the corner of her room and is so sturdy she can sit on top of it as a seat. It’s a beautiful white color with zero imperfections. Big pain in the butt to put together, so I had to have my room mate do it for me. But he got it done in about an hour... the instructions were very confusing and he hardly used them. So my only complaint would be the assembly. But to assemble a real wooden chest I suppose it takes time and work. It’s well worth it.

Pros: This was easy to assemble, although trying to hold the boards together while twisting the screws in was a pain. This isn't the manufacturer's fault. Any time you assemble a large piece of furniture, that will happen, so I recommend having someone help you with assembly. They provide you with all the tools and screws you need to put this together. The screws even have a white tip so they blend in nicely with the box. The equipment for assembly was nicely labeled and packed. Everything arrived on time and was packaged well. Obviously it's heavy, so be careful when carrying it. I love the air pumps that keep the lid from being slammed shut. I also really like the white, plastic handles that easily clamp into the side holes. The wooden material has a nice, smooth finish and the plastic handles make the box far more comfortable to carry. This box is even bigger than the last toy chest I purchased from Amazon. Cons: With every piece of furniture that ships, there are minor imperfections in the wood. This is extremely hard to prevent and the imperfections are hardly noticeable. The assembly is difficult to do alone, but once again, that's not the manufacturer's fault. I also don't like the fact that this toy chest can't be personalized, but that's a minor issue for me.

Ho acquistato questa cassa per conservare i giochi di mia figlia. L’imballo, arrivato un po’ malconcio, può essere migliorato. Per fortuna il prodotto è risultato integro è conforme alla descrizione. Il materiale è abbastanza robusto ed il montaggio è semplicissimo. Il coperchio ha un sistema di chiusura particolare, in quanto due pistoni la rallentano prima di arrivare alla fine. Questo evita ai più piccini di incastrarsi le dita chiudendo la cassa. Capienza ottima. La consiglio.

Great toy box. Easy to assemble. Even after 2 years, it's still holding up well. Hinges are not a slow soft close, but rather lock in place to where ever you let go. Box has a cut out at the front so the chance of pinching fingers is decreased. I added some felt pads on each side of the cut out such that it doesn't bang down (along with providing that little bit of extra security that reduces the chances of a pinched finger on a little one.

I love it. One year in, 2 boys, looks like it did the day I bought it. I couldn't be happier with the sturdiness and quality.

Ce coffre est top, il est beau,solide.on range beaucoup de chose dedans et il est très facile à. Monter.et son système de fermeture est très bien impossible à un enfant de se coincer les doigt. Je recommande vivement de plus couleur superbe...

Very easy to build for an experienced flatpacker, finished product feels robust and safe. The safety hinge is not what I expected using pressurised hinges instead of the ones I have seen on other Kidkraft products, but it does the job and will not come crashing down.
