I bought the old version of this toy box the one with out the colored bottom about 6 years ago, and still have it in perfect condition. I bought this when my oldest daughter was 2 shes 8 now so I passed it down to my 2 1/2 year old twins and they love it to. It’s been colored on and i just spray clorex clean up on it and it claens right up. The fun part of it for my twins is they empty the toys out and get in there with their pillow and act like its a bed. … We also put the lid behind it sometime then when playtime is over we put it back. Well anyways its 6 years old and in mint conditon so its very worth the money.

The large capacity of this toy box as well as its durability makes it worth its price. The dividers are great to separate the Barbies from the tea sets. The only part of the toy box that I am disappointed with is the way the lid “hinges” on the box. Basically, it doesn’t. It’s hard for my daughter to open it without the lid falling off the slight hinge between the box and lid. It requires precise lifting for it to work properly. My husband solved the problem by installing actual hinges on the box.

Although this Little Tikes product is well constructed and tough, there is one major drawback that is so aggravating that it negates any positive attributes. In order to get into the toybox, because of the way it is constructed, you have to take the lid completely off the box. Because of it’s “dome-like” shaped lid, you cannot lift it up with one hand to retrieve a toy with the other. If you do, the lid completely falls off, or turns upside down, obscuring the opening of the toybox. So, every time this toybox is opened, the lid must be completely removed and set aside. It’s very user “unfriendly” to an adult, so I can imagine how difficult it will be for my young daughter to use as she grows up.
