Austin Toy Box - Espresso

I have bought two of these, one for each Grand nephew. The first I one bought in blue 4 years ago. The boy is now 5 years, and its made very sturdy he sits on top of it and they put stuff on top of it extra toys etc. Pounds I'm not sure but he is now 5, not an overweight boy, just normal at that age (40-50-lbs) its made really, really well, thick wood, not thin. Like I said, I bought another one for his brother since I was so impressed with how well its made. The lid has a slow shutting hinge which was important to me for so small he wouldn't get his fingers pinched while getting a toy out. I would think you would not let a teenager sit on it or an adult but a small child would be fine. I hope this helps but this is a 10 out of 10 for me on quality and assembly.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The correct age is 3 plus for both toyboxes. We will have this updated.-The KidKraft Customer Care Team #10001

I guess it depends on what you put inside the toy box. There’s no chocking hazard as far as the toy box itself. We’ve had this since day one with our kid and never had any issues. :)

Yes. I see no reason why you couldn't paint the toy chest.

Hi there, We are are sorry your toy box came with a smell. The smell should dissipate withing a few days when being aired outside allowing air to completely circulate around the item.

Hi there, this toy box is closer to a navy blue than a lighter blue. -The KidKraft Customer Care Team
