Barrel Top Toy Chest

I bought this as a toy chest with the idea that once we outgrow the need for a toy chest, we can use it to store blankets, etc. It does look nice but the exposed screws everywhere does take away from the appearance. There was one screw the was shipped to us with it still sticking out and the head stripped. The quality department must really be lacking! Also, the bottom isn't real wood which concerns me that it may pull out if something heavy is placed inside (the bottom is raised from the floor by about 1/2 inch with two thin wood pieces for support). While I do like the safety support mechanism (closes the chest slowly when closing it and keeps it open when you want it open) it doesn't want to remain shut all the way so the lid is always about 1 inchannels open.

I was so happy when I received this barrel top chest. It is actually a nice piece of furniture, and has so many uses! I'm using it now for my kids' toys in our family room, and we can really stuff in a lot. Our playroom was always difficult to keep tidy, but now all those loose toys have a place to go, and Mom is much happier! It is sturdy, and I feel it will last for a long time. In fact, I'm planning on using it for other things once the kids are no longer into playing with toys. I feel this chest will be great for storage of linens, books, albums, etc. So I'm looking forward to using this chest for years to come! Love this purchase!

I ordered this chest to store items in our spare bedroom to help keep it clutter free. It is perfect for my needs, was easy to assemble and is as described. The only potential downfall is that the bottom is not solid wood, but since I'm not using it as a toy chest and it will remain stationary, it isn't an issue for me. It has a soft close top to prevent little hands from begin hurt which is a definite plus!

I recommend this product.

I've been looking for a toy chest for my grandson. But it had to be a certain style color and certainly at a great price. And WOW!!! Here comes Wayfair who gets my attention, I easily find exactly what I'm looking for... And can't believe the price as
I had been looking at toy chests for quite a while. Within a few minutes, I had easily placed the order. But here's the crazy and BEST part. I ordered it on Monday before Christmas and it was at my daughters house when we arrived Christmas Eve. How did you do that? I can only think of one word Amazing!!! I'll be back. And appreciate your service support and ease of shopping !!!! Thanks

Love this piece. The espresso finish is beautiful and the barrel top design is a perfect compliment to my baby's monkey pirate themed nursery. However is subtle enough that he will be able to continue to use it as he grows. The safety hinges protect little fingers from getting slammed in the lid as it closes. It seems to be sturdy and of a good quality. It looks more expensive than it was. :)

Assembly was easy and delivery was fast.

My only complaint is that the hinge seems to be failing. It do want hold the lid open all the way anymore so even though the point of the hinge (and openings where you would most often hold on the edge of the bottom) is to keep little fingers from being smashed, heads are going to get bonked now when they are expecting the lid to stay and it doesn't. We've had it two years and I don't know if my little guy pushed it back too far or if something happened during moving or what bu there you go. Otherwise I've been extremely happy with it. It's sturdy and beautiful!

Ordered this Toy Chest for my Grandson's first birthday. Fits all his toys, at least for now, and the lid closes with ease. Lid does not slam down and there is no worry about pinching little fingers! My daughter put the chest together and stated it took some time to complete but it was not a difficult task.

My husband set up the toy chest, said it was uneven on some parts and that it doesn't close all the way on the lid. But I like that it's slightly open so that it doesn't smash down on the kids' fingers.
It's a great size, fits a lot of toys and helped clean the clutter we had in our little girl's room.
Now big brother wants the same toy chest in HIS room.

Pros: Sturdy chest, except for the bottom. The lid has a piece on the inside that holds it wherever you close the lid to, so it won't close on little fingers.

Cons: The bottom panel is thin and is held in place by grooves on the four sides. Since this panel isn't touching the floor, I can see it breaking if a kid decides to climb into the chest. Only negative I have for this.

The perfect purchase for my sixteen month old granddaughter. I read a review where they complained the lid didn't shut all the way. And they're right, there's about a 14 inch gap. However, I don't think you'd want it to close all the way. This makes it much safer and easier for little fingers to handle without the worry of them getting hurt. My little granddaughter and lift it and shut it all by herself without grandma being worried about her tiny fingers. Great quality and it's beautiful. Just about the cutest thing ever.
