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

The toy box is nice and big… my 7 year old daughter climbed inside and closed the lid on herself! It feels sturdy and hopefully will last a long time. With that being said, there were a few problems. First, there are cosmetic scratches/chips all over the place. If you are a perfectionist, they will bother you. But it is a toy box for children, so I am sure it will get beat up eventually. For this reason I kept the box in spite of the flaws. Secondly, I am not a fan of the exposed philips screws on the lid. They are not very attractive and not smooth. I hope my daughter won’t scratch her skin on them. Also, one of the handles arrived broken. KidKraft promises to replace any parts that arrive broken; but only if you order them within a certain time frame! I didn’t, so I am stuck with the broken handle. The lid also doesn’t close completely. As far as assembly is concerned, the directions could be a little clearer. I installed some of the nuts backwards before realizing my error and had to redo them. The instruction sheet says nothing about that. Also, the bottom has indentations for the screws and the instructions do not point out that the bottom has to go on a certain way. It would be easy to install it upside down and scratch up your floor with the rough screws they use. The illustrations on the instructions had a couple pictures that showed the holes on the wrong side of the side pieces. If you don’t have a good mind for assembling things like this, the instructions will confuse you. But if you can handle all these things, which are really pretty minor inconveniences, then go ahead and order. And for those who care about the country of origin, my box said it came from Vietnam.
