Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO ® Storage Tray Unit
Customer Review: A little expensive, but very handy and somewhat educational
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
It's quite obvious that a lot of thought was put into the design of this Lego Storage Tray Unit. For example, below the trays, there is enough space to fit the large flat plates. (You can even place the plates right above the trays.) In the trays themselves, the largest place holder could hold a 8 x 16 piece (if such size exists). The shape of the trays, combined with the space between them, makes it pretty much impossible for your child to pinch his or her fingers pulling in or out the trays.
When my (just turned) 7 year old daughter and I first set the unit up, it was interesting to hear her think aloud about the best way to sort her collection of Lego bricks. Each of the four trays is sorted into nine sections, adding up to 36 sections, which may seem like a lot. However, when you consider all the different colors and brick purposes (eg. car pieces, house accessories), it becomes somewhat challenging. And it's that whole thought process, which I would label as being "educational".
Cons:
This Lego Storage Tray Unit is very solid and arguably attractive, but it seems overpriced. However, having said that, because I have yet to find any reasonable substitutes, I may very well buy another one!
But if I don't, I'll have to buy SOMETHING because the reality is that the other downside with this storage unit is that it's somewhat small. Granted if I simply poured all of the Lego bricks my daughter owns into the trays, there would be a lot of extra room, but once you sort them, there are obviously sections that are not filled while others are overflowing.
Bottom line:
If nothing else, I would recommend purchasing this product as an auxiliary storage unit. If you currently have your Lego bricks all in one big box, this will at least allow you to sort some of the items and decrease the maddening experience of finding that 1x1 flat gray piece that you are 100% is somewhere - and hopefully not in the vacuum cleaner!
