8 Toy Chests for Kids Rooms

Toy chests provides a great storage option for kids’ rooms! As a mom I am a living witness of the daily mess and ravage kids can make, and I’ve been more than happy to have a pair of toy chests in my kids’ rooms.

With a toy chest you can simply open the lid and throw all the toys in, and whenever it fills up (it holds a LOT of toys), you can just close the lid and take a deep breath. Phew!

Toy chests can be placed inside a teepee play tent or near the bed, practically anywhere near your kids’ play area.

So if you’re also one of those parents who want to spend time with your kids rather than spending hours trying to sort out their toys, this article is for you.

Stylish White Toy Box for a Brighter Kids Room

What we like: This spacious toy chest holds a lot of toys, and has a well thought out lid with safety hinges. That means no more fingers getting pinched under the lid, because the safety hinges make sure the lid closes down slowly. Another safety precaution is the wide opening in the front, making it even safer.

The toy chest from KidKraft is made from MDF, which is easy to assemble. You should be able to assemble it in no more than 1.5 hours, and you would be completely fine doing this yourself because there’s no heavy lifting or holding pieces together while screwing.

Oh, and when the lid is down, it doubles as a bench!

Lift Top Toy Chest with a Grey Finish

What we like: We love this neutral toy chest from Badger Basket, because of its grey finish and no-nonsense design! It doesn’t necessarily fit kids’ rooms only, but could actually fit an entryhall or even the living room. Imagine having a pair of these combined next to each other — they would be great for storage of hobby and craft-related items, flower pots, magazines, and what not. Of course it also holds toys, if that’s what you need it for.

The lid is fitted with a pair of safety hinges, so it won’t drop on fingers by accident. And the finish is easily wiped off with a damp cloth, whenever you feel the need to clean it up.

Toy Bench with Two Storage Boxes

What we like: Wow, this is a very clever piece of furniture! Imagine a furniture that holds plenty of storage space for multiple items, while at the same time provides a seating area, BUT also transforms the back into a table — does it sound possible? Yes, the Delta Children MySize Kids Activity Bench does exactly that.

The arm rests are attached to the back panel, which swings down and transforms into a small table when needed. It then makes for a perfect little desk, where your kids can read a book, make a drawing, or do their homework.

Underneath the seating you’ll find two storage compartments, with one grey fabric bin in each.
