Uncharacteristic Toxic Smell

Sturdiness is consistent with solid wood. However, there is a persistent unpleasant smell that is detrimental to breathing and sleeping. It won't come off even with several days of airing with fan, and with application of plant-derived stain. The type of wood or whether it has been treated somehow is not indicated. Given the high cost of this item and design for children, WARNINGS should be posted until the problem is addressed. Unfortunately I cannot return.

Good Quality

I ordered two. The first one took about 45 to assemble (and reassemble) but the second only took about 15 minutes. Very please with my purchase. Nice quality.

Makes a great recycling container

Easy assembly and nice wood. Everything else I considered wasn’t real wood, but this is.

The wood is very nicely finished and the pieces fit together as expected (don't use the provided hardware). It's a great size for a toy box and being able to customize it as you see fit is nice. The hardware to attach the sides together is of poor quality though. Soft material that is easy to strip out and the holes don't correctly align. I fixed this by using 1 1/4 wood screws which hold things together nicely. Just be sure to take your time, measure things out rights, and drill pilot holes.

This is a great piece for putting away a great deal of toys!

I am extremely pleased with this trunk! I got 2 of these smaller ones and one of the larger ones to use as "window seats" for a bay window. (Cushions still to be sewn....) The wood is high quality and very sturdy - *nothing* flimsy about these trunks! And I was impressed with the quality of the hardware as well. I have assembled many different types of furniture through the years and have come to expect the hardware to be very cheaply constructed - but not with these chests! Everything was high quality. Also, I originally intended to stain these trunks, but once I pulled the parts out of the box to assemble them I realize that they matched my oak dining room table perfectly. So it was really a win-win-win. Attached are a couple of photos of the assembled trunk.

It was relatively easy to assemble . I do wish the bottom was sturdier .

Good size and quality

Solid construction. Not bad to assemble except the spring hinges. Directions are terrible. And springs were super tight and next to impossible to install. Painted it purple for 5 year old and personalized it do she loved it.

Very nice box we are using it in the entrance of our house as a place to sit on to put your shoes and boots on and off, very sturdy, we stained it and it looks great, we also use it to pore our 50lbs of dog food in it nice place to hid it, works great for that just lift the lid and dip it out ,

It’s really pretty - the wood is perfectly smooth. A good value, however the directions for attaching the lid are not correct, but most people should be able to figure it out.

This is great little piece for a storage options. I also use this as a small dressing bench. Great for sitting on to tie your boots or put your socks on.

The trunk I purchased was to paint for my nephew s toy box. It was made well and easy to put together. But the best thing was it was safe enough for my nephew to store his toys and climb in and play I after he had empty out all the toys out he could climb in and play safely by the way it was built

The wood quality is primo,,but during putting it together,three of the pre set bolt holes did not line up,had to leave out,thus making it wobbly,and the lid does not align right,no way to correct,had to bend and pad out hinges,still not right,would go somewhere else

Decent quality and construction. Easy to assemble. Stay open hinges are great. Wood had been sanded quite nicely though needed a good cleaning with tac cloth to remove dust.
