Perfect toy storage

2008-10-03
I bought this for my daughter when she was ~14 months. We have a large family room so I am able to put this in a corner and leave the lid up without anyone seeing it. The lid is able to open and close with ease. I've never had a problem with the lid falling off, but I have it against a wall. All of her toys fit nicely in this box with room to spare. Her little books fit in the front yellow compartment along with some small stuffed animals. The top and sides are plastic while the "box" is heavy duty fabric. I assembled it in like 10 minutes using a drill, but you can use a screw driver. It really is a perfect toy box.

This box is a really great size for the price. My 6 year old fit most of her toys in here and loved the little pockets on the side. I highly recommend it!

Country Kids Toy Box Rules

2008-01-02
Also known as the Country Kids Soft and Sturdy Toy Box, I was able to get ours for 69.99+tx with FREE shipping from Home Depot. The bolts were loose in the packaging, which could have been a nightmare if any had been lost in transportation.

My 5 year old helped me assemble it in no time. I started all 8 bolts by hand and then used my drill with Phillips head set on slip setting 4. TADA... just about done. Instantly my 1 year old started climbing in and out and playing house with his older sister.

Waited for them to take a break, then I stuffed it with all his toys and put it in the corner. It help all the mess from the floor with space for 3x as much as he had out already. Andrew (the one year old) has a great time reaching in and pulling everything out, then putting it back.

This is a KEEPER. I expected it to be pretty good based on the review.
It met my expectations and more. Very sturdy, good quality fabric, and with no real weight on the fabric, the stitching should last a good long time.

Great toy box, large and sturdy

This toy box has been very invaluable for my 17 month old and his many toys. It was pretty simple to put together. It takes up the same amount of space as his last toy box (which wasn't that great), but holds at least 5 times as much. Great purchase.

Great Toy Box, problems with pockets

2007-07-09
The Soft & Sturdy Toy Box combines sturdy fabric, innovative design, and lightweight materials to create an attractive yet spacious container that is child-friendly. With an empty weight of only 22 pounds, a child can move this box, yet it stores an impressive 6+ feet of toys and games. Other child-friendly features include soft rounded corners, a stay-open lid, and a well-ventilated design.

Big, easy to assemble, and kid friendly.

My son helped me put this together after its arrival. That, in itself, was a treat. The pieces are kid friendly, not sharp, and the item is exceptionally sturdy for a cloth lined toy box. Shipped for free only makes it better.

Great Toybox

2007-02-06
I looked everywhere for a plastic durable toybox, seems so simple but unfortunately no one kept anything in stock to look at in person. I took a chance on this one because the price was right, and I'm very pleased. I like the pockets on the front, my son loves putting his books in & out. If I would change one thing it is the lid. It is lightweight as to not hurt little hands & fingers (which is good), but is never locked onto the toybox, it lifts off very easily, so sometimes just bumping it causes it to fall out of the shallow indentations it sits in. Other than that we love it!

Not worth the price

2007-02-05
I have a PhD in Polymer Science and I can easily tell you that this item is extremely overpriced. Only sides and the top is plastic, rest is canvas type of material. I can not see how they demand such a price for this toy box. Only thing I liked about is the colors.

Great Toybox

We were looking for a larger toy box to hide the toys in our Great Room.

This box is lightweight, durable, and great looking.

The top does not hinge like a door, but it does open and close as if it has a hinge because of the plastic configuration. I would recommend this to any parent.... the storage pockets in the front are great too. My wife and I are very happy with this purchase.

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
