Toys and Games Reviews of Little Tikes Mission Design Toy Box
Customer Review: The heads of 2 of the screws snapped off :(
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the fact that the lid is designed to close slowly, so your little one can keep his/her fingers. :)
The wood itself seems pretty durable, but I had a little trouble with the screws when I was putting it together. The heads of 2 screws snapped off while I was putting it together. This happened despite the fact that I closely followed the assembly instructions, which said to use a handheld screwdriver as opposed to a power screwdriver.
At first, I thought the problem might be that I was using the wrong sized screwdriver, but a gentleman at the local hardware store confirmed that I was indeed using the right sized screwdriver.
The holes were all pre-drilled, which was nice. However, since I couldn't get the 2 broken screws out of the wood, I had to re-drill those 2 holes, and since those 2 holes were shifted over by a half of an inch, I had to re-drill *ALL* the holes in the lid (8 new holes altogether).
I finally got the toy box assembled, and it works fine now, but the lid is not perfectly centered.
If you get this toy box, be very very very gentle on the screws. If they're too loose, you can always tighten them up later, right?
Customer Review: Research Paid Off Before Buying - This TOYBOX is GREAT
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent several weeks researching the best toybox to purchase for my 18 month old son. We were looking for 1)Safety 2)Durability 3)Value and 4)A toy box that would be a nice piece of furniture that would compliment the room where it will be utilized, as well as, something that a child would not outgrow (like a plastic multi colored toy box). Overall, I am very pleased with this toybox. It assembled rather easily (about 1/2 hr). The piece has a nice finish and looks great in our Living Room. Although, it is NOT a solid hardwood throughout, it is made very well and assembles easily. It is plenty durable for any child and has TWO great SAFETY hinges for the top cover. The top cover is partially hollowed and is lighter than a solid hard-wood cover, BUT is is very sturdy and made very well. I would recommend this toybox to anyone. The price was a little on the higher side, but it is worth it when compared to other comprable toy chests. You do get what you pay for. This is a good value!!Customer Review: Mission Design Toy Box
Summary: 5 Stars
This toy box as well of the rest of the mission set from Little Tike is excellant!! The quality is superperb. All pieces are solid wood not cheap veneers...the only exception is the hollow core toy box top WHICH MAKES SENSE!!! I would not want a solid oak toy box top of that size slamming on my 6 year old, 3 year old, or 1 year old's head. There is also a divot in the top edge of all sides so than fingers don't get pinched. The top still holds all three of my children with no problem, a combined weight of 120lbs. I am very happy as well with the table and chair set and and the storage cabinet. I plan to pass these on to my grandchildren, they are commercial quality.
ErinCustomer Review: We love this toybox!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I were looking for a toy box for our one and two year old daughters' toys. We wanted something that blended with the decor of our house; country/colonial. This toy box looks great, holds most of their toys, and was easy to assemble. It took me only 20-30 minutes to do by myself. Both kids can open and close it and there is no danger of pinching small fingers. It is a great buy and contrary to what another reviewer said, it DOES NOT have a plastic top...it is hollow wood because a solid wood top would be too heavy. We love it and it looks good, too.Customer Review: Great toy chest
Summary: 5 Stars
Was looking for a nice sturdy, wooden toy chest to replace an overflowing toy basket and this was perfect. The quality of the wood is great, the design nice and simple, and the assembly wasn't bad at all. It took about an hour to do by myself while hubby was doing other things. The size is perfect for our house and the safety latch is a nice security measure. My 3 year old loves to rummage thru it for her toys and mommy loves the fact that the toys aren't cluttered everywhere. I highly recommend it.
