I received this as a gift for my baby shower. It is adorable. I love the lightweight material it is made of, easy to move around, and I don't have to worry about the lid smashing little fingers. The only issue is the box's sturdiness. There is not much reinforcement, so after several uses by slightly older cousins, it started to lose shape and buldge. I resolved this by buying three sheets of foam board from Hobby Lobby (it comes in a variety of colors). I cut the front and back pieces to 14.5"×23.5", and the sides to 14.5"×13.5". They fit very snugly and keeps the box at its proper dimensions and shape. My baby can even pull up on it now. Overall, I am very happy with this product.

4.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星Super cute and functional, but the lid falls in! Had to add my own toggle closure, and it's pretty close to perfect.

I ordered two of these to use in the play spaces at home (formerly known as the living room and family room). We love the 3 Sprouts items - so cute without being super babyish. The quality of this toy chest is pretty good, but there is a major flaw that I had to address on my own. The lid falls right inside the chest if there aren't things piled up to the top. Our toy chest isn't packed full (yet), and as hard as we tried, we could not get the lid to stop falling inside the chest. There needs to be a toggle, velcro or some sort of tie to keep it shut. I bought my own toggle and sewed it on, and it works great. See attached picture. It was tricky to sew on, since there is thick cardboard underneath the fabric. I had to take a tiny nail and pierce through the cardboard to line up with all of the holes where the toggle attached. I realize this was my own doing, but it was necessary to help keep our sanity - that floppy lid was driving us mad!
Our kids aren't old enough to be attacking the toy chest like maniacs, but I realize this is a soft-sided item and will only withstand a certain amount of abuse. We'll do our best to keep them from beating it up too badly, and hope that these will last us for years to come! You obviously can't stuff 3x the amount of toys that should fit and expect it to keep its shape (like the one reviewer did - LOL!), but this holds a good amount of toys. And, it's inexpensive enough, you can buy two for overflow if needed!

Purchased this as an alternative to a heavy, hard toy box (of relatively the same size). The price is okay. We are using it as storage for extra stuffed animals. My daughter has an obsession and owns way more stuffies than any 4 year old should. I would recommend for storage of softer items. I don’t know that it would be great for prolonged storage of heavier toys. It’s XXL size of the canvas and board storage cubes you could buy at any local big box store. We really love the Alligator design, but do notice a little pulling of the canvas in areas where it was sewed on. Not a big deal IMO. Since we are keeping this in a closet, I don’t see it getting too dirty, but it is very light colored and would probably stain easily. That is something to keep in mind when purchasing. All in all, it’s cute, light weight and a decent size for extra storage.
UPDATE: Mar 4, 2018. We have had this storage box for a couple of months and still like it, but it had already begun to bow out on the sides and slightly on the front. It is only storing stuffed animals and they aren’t even packed in like sardines. I’m a little disappointed and will probably invest invest in a hard storage option.

I read quite a few reviews for these and was concerned about the construction and felt stitching quality as some reviews complained about the box collapsing easily and inconsistencies in the stitching. I have had ours for weeks now and can tell you that if you let your child climb on the lid - it will collapse in on itself so if you can't prevent that you will have issues. Also, if you were to overfill the toy chest continuously the form will lose integrity over time. Just the reality of the construction. Thankfully my daughter doesn't climb on the top so we haven't had that issue. One cat jumped on the closed lid and it pushed into the toy chest but she didn't do it again. We don't overfill the chest and the shape has held up just fine. We use ours in our living room for toys that migrate there. I will ask my daughter to put all the stray toys into the chest before she is allowed to watch a show ;). So all in all I'm very happy I bought this and it fits quite a lot inside which was another concern. The lid is not super sturdy but for the price point you are getting what you pay for....it's not a wooden or keepsake toy chest by any means. The bear is ADORABLE and the stitching was in perfect condition so the reviews describing issues have likely been corrected by the seller now.
I was worried because of some of the reviews and their photos but it's perfect! Some reviews say that it's flimsy or easily collapsible but it's not, yes it's canvas and light weight but the sides it's very sturdy, you would have to be really rough with it to make the sides collapse. If you have a toddler or kid who is known for damaging things then yes you would want to get something plastic and heavy duty but I have over 10 years of babysitting experience and 25 nieces and nephews (I have lots of siblings) and this toy chest could survive almost everyone of them! One of my brothers has some rough kids that could probably damage this a bit but that's only about 4 of 25 so I like those odds! This is perfect!
My son is still just a baby and just starting to play with toys so I needed something to hold them all and for $20 this is absolutely worth the money! Even if it only lasts a few years that's still awesome and I love it, I definitely plan to buy another to hold his books or maybe blankets just because it's so cute and plenty big enough!
