Review on 🧸 White Wooden Toy Chest by Melissa & Doug - Playroom Furniture for Enhanced Organization by Christopher Lance

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Wonderful. Don't be fooled by bad reviews

Now I have three of these wonderful toy boxes. I want to buy at least 1 more. You are fantastic. All I have is natural wood. They are amazing. A lot of the bad reviews come from people who obviously don't know how to pack things. This is one of the easiest pieces of furniture I've ever put together. Directions are excellent. The screws are nicely separated and even numbered. Everything fits together perfectly. There is stud metal in the side panels that you can screw studs into (not all toy boxes have this). This makes them very durable. Complaints about the thin floor are ridiculous. In one of my stalls I have a 50 pound bag of rabbit feed and a 40 pound bag of horse bedding. As for the so-called lid problem, you have to lift the lid a bit when you line up the holes and everything fits together perfectly (see my picture of how far the lid should open). I think some reviewers overtighten the screws which can damage the wood. The screws must be tightened by hand. Also, don't fully tighten anything until a full box is built, then fully tighten everything. The toy boxes are sturdy enough to sit on (but I wouldn't recommend standing on them). I would like to add that the entire toy box can be assembled with a single Phillips screwdriver.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
