DO NOT BUY!!!

I also ignored the other reviews and purchased this box. The weight of the lid pulled the hinge right out of the wood, which didn't install too easily in the first place. The press board was too weak to drill new holes, so you're left with a heavy lid that slams down if not held. We'll be taking this back to the store tomorrow. Sadly, it looked really cute in the nursery but my daughter only recently started walking and showing an interest in it, so the hinge problem didn't become obvious for a while. If I could give zero stars, I would!

extremely unsafe!

I bought it despite the reviews. It looks great... my daughter has gotten hurt so many times w/ it, we put it in basement for storage. THe top lifts and falls without any resistance. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great multi-purpose toy box

We use this box in our foyer as a place to hide all the shoes. It also works great as a bench for those who need to sit down while putting on or taking off their shoes. Very easy to assemble and looks great!
