Manufacturers Label states: "NOT INTENDED...AS A TOY CHEST"
If you, like most others, chose to purchase this cheaply made, unwieldy, velcro built contraption as a toy box, (since after all it is listed on Amazon as a TOY BOX CHEST WITH SMART LIFT TOP, be aware:
It's none of these things.
It is not meant to be a toy box -
-specifically the warning labels even say not to use it as a child's toy box.
-It's very much like a pizza box held together with velcro glued to cardboard panels.
--(We all know how well that works - velcro glued to cardboard - yeah that's a long term solution.
The lid is not smart in any way. Think Crispy creme donut box lid.
It's actually a laughable that anyone would call this thing "smart" as the only thing smart about it was getting you to buy this disposable piece of junk.
When the flat package was dropped off by UPS, I was curious, "...what is this?" I wondered. But then when I opened it and saw some flat cardboard looking pop up sides - and the lid - having a typical furniture sticker attached to the product - "WARNING - RISK OF CHILD SUFFOCATION - THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED OR SUITABLE FOR USE AS A TOY CHEST" (photo attached.)
Problem was that it arrived without enough time to return it and get something different in time for Christmas morning. So we opted to set it up and let our 4-year old use it as an auxiliary toy repository at the foot of his bed.
Wouldn't you know it's held together with velcro and is already falling apart. The velcro is coming unglued from the middle sections, the lid is beginning to cave in on itself. The lid, what a terrible design this is, every time you try and close it you are reminded of a trying to close a Crispy Creme Donut box or one of those new Dominos pizza boxes. What a drag that is right? Well this lid is worse, not to mention that a kid cannot possibly close it by themselves. The center section of the box is barely accessible when the lid is opened all the way, so the normal thing a kid will do is push the lid over to access the middle section of the box, the lid falls off and then is impossible for the kid to put back on top of the box again.
I'm just shocked this stupid box is even available on Amazon much less the price. Avoid this thing at all costs.
