Handcrafted toyboxes - outside dimensions are 40"L x 21" W x 20" H Inside dimensions are 36"L x 18 1/2"W x 17"H.\ Manufactured toyboxes Dimensions are marked throughout the website next to the description of the manufactured toyboxes. All the manufactured toyboxes are smaller in size than the handcrafted toy chests. If you want lots of storage, buy our handcrafted toybox! Are they made of real wood? Our handcrafted toy chests are made of wood… beautiful wood! Solid oak is used for the corner posts. Oak veneered panels are framed with solid oak. The cherry and espresso toyboxes are made from birch wood. The manufactured toyboxes have wooden components, however furniture grade fiber board and plywood are used with many of the manufactured toyboxes. What about the optional solid cedar base? The classic blanket chests of years ago were always made of cedar. This would protect cloth items from insects, etc. For only $30 we can add a solid cedar base in the bottom of a handcrafted toybox and blanket chest. The cedar we use is aromatic "eastern" cedar which has the traditional cedar chest aroma. This not only has a functional purpose but also adds style to the wooden chest. What kind of finish does the handcrafted toy box have? The stain we use for the oak toybox has warm amber coloring with slight reddish tones. The finish would be best described as a natural oak finish. We use just enough stain to bring out the beautiful oak grain. The topcoat is a clear satin finish. The cherry handcrafted toybox has a deep rich reddish color stain and topcoated with clear satin finish. You can see the grain through the stain for a beautiful finish. The espresso toybox is very dark and almost black, however when you put something black next to it you can tell that it a deep reddish brown. It is also clear coated in a satin finish. The stain is so dark that the grain of the wood is hardly noticeable. ALL of our finishing products are lead free and safe for children! Can I order an unfinished toybox? Yes, our handcrafted toybox and blanket chest are offered as an unfinished (unstained) product. You save $45.00 if you stain the chest yourself. It can be very rewarding to finish your own box! You can then match to any decor. Most stains with a polyurethane topcoat will work well. We recommend a product made by Minwax called "Polyshades" that is a polyurethane and stain mixed together which is very easy to use. Finishing instructions are included with your purchase. Sorry, unfinished toyboxes are not available with laser engravings. Is the toybox safe? The toyboxes and blanket chestes are designed for the safety of our family and yours! Our employees have children and have used these toyboxes in their own homes. We have never had a complaint about safety from any of our customers in over 10 years in business.

ALL of our toyboxes, whether manufactured or handcrafted, have well designed lid supports. Endorsement of lid supports used in Classic Oak Toyboxes and Blanket Chests Taken from Fact Sheet #74- Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington D.C.
