Second kidkraft item we have owned and been happy with. It has a safety hinge that keeps the top from slamming down.

This is a Christmas gift so not sure what the parents think, but I'm very pleased as a grandparent. I think it will be very useful, especially with two shelves. Seems to have ample toy storage as well --- is there ever enough?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this toy chest. I also have the pink one for my daughter. This chest is very safe/sturdy/easy to assemble and to clean. With my pink one the lid doesn't close/open easily (I've contacted Step2 about the issue), but I don't have any problems with the red one. I would definitely recommend this toy chest to anyone! Plus, it holds a TON of toys!
