9 reviews for Toy Chest for Children
Margaret Norman –
I love this toy chest!
I purchased the toy chest along with a large table in dark mahogany 9 years ago when the first of 8 grandchildren became interested in building with Thomas train wooden tracks. It stores a ton of wooden railroad track and accessories, sorted into bins so a particular piece of track or train is easy to find, and rolls under the table for easy out of the way storage. The hinges hold the top open to whatever degree the kids opens it (no closing without someone pushing the top back down). It’s a perfect bench for the kids to sit on and it’s strong enough support a fat grandma too. There’s a small space along the front even when the top is down – along with the top extended over the storage area a bit it’s really difficult for little fingers to find a way to get pinched – so difficult that none of the kids who have played with this from age 3 on have ever smashed a finger on hand.
Even if you don’t purchase a table, you should get this toy chest – it’s lovely in the dark mahogany finish.

We purchased this chest in gray. It’s more than a year old now and looks just like the day we revived it. My son is a typical kid so it’s been played with, hard. We use it for storage and have one of the Lego sheets on it. He loves this chest and we do too. I have zero doubt that it will hold up for many years and become an item that is passed through generations.

Best toy chest I could have asked for. My kid loves it and it’s quality!

We’ve had our toy chest for a few months now and it looks good as new. It’s been great having both storage and seating in one since we’re limited on space.

Toy storage with a bench is just so convenient. I’ve had several other toy chests that do not act as seats and this one is much more versatile.

We got this table for our grandson and it’s absolutely great for storing his toys, safe too. He even uses the Nilo Lego baseplates on top of the bench seat to play on, which is a feature that I didn’t even know it had! Seems to be very solid and long lasting. Thanks for another great product Nilo!!
