I have a 1 and 2 year old that both have their own storage chest. They love them and they really do hold a ton of toys. They were easy to set up (if it would have set up properly...see below) and are easy to clean and very safe for children. The only issue I have is that on one of the chests the door doesn't fit right. It is VERY tight and my two year old can't open/close it. The base of the unit isn't quite wide enough to allow the door to close all the way. I have contacted the Step 2 company to see if they will help. So far, they've just said this is a new design and had me email a picture of what I am talking about...I hope they can do more than that.

I purchased one of these lift hide bookshelves for my grandson 2 years ago for our home and wanted to purchase one for another grandson for his home only to find that the quality was no longer there. The one purchased 2 years ago and was on display in the store was very sturdy. It was a hard thick plastic and was in one piece. The one I brought home to give as a Christmas gift is going back. It is in 2 pieces (made to be screwed together) which is not a bad thing but it was so flimsy I couldn't believe the difference. I could actually see through the thin plastic. For the price they charged for this toy box I expected better. I think they need to go back to the quality and charge more if the profit margin is the problem.

I bought two of these storage unit one for my son and one for my baby girl who is on the way. They are great for holding all sorts of things without fearing that the toy box will slam shut on little fingers.

Comments about Step2 Lift & Hide Bookcase Storage Chest™:
This is the best toy storage system we have used. I am planning ony buying one for my daughter too. It holds TONS of toys! We also use the two shelves to display our little people playsets. I like how it is very sturdy, and wont tip over. And safety-wise - the lid has a gap, and doesn't lock. It will be good for years to come!

Comments about Step2 Lift & Hide Bookcase Storage Chest™:
My husband and I purchased this about a year ago when we realized we had nowhere to put my son's toys and books. We chose it because it was inexpensive and the store model seemed sturdy and had a lot of storage space.
My son loves to go in and get his own toys. It makes him feel like a big boy. It also teaches him to clean up his toys when he's finished playing with them. Occasionally he'll pull out all the toys and climb in, which is okay with me as long as he picks them up again. :-)
My only negative comment would be that, like some other reviewers have stated, it comes in three pieces, so the book shelf tends to shift. However, it isn't a problem for us since we have it against his bedroom wall. When it shifts back, it hits the wall and won't fall off. You can also screw them together, but we just chose not to.

Comments about Step2 Lift & Hide Bookcase Storage Chest™:
I first purchased the pink storage chest for my daughter about five years ago. I loved it!! My son just recently turned one, so of course I set out to buy him the same one in red. I quickly discovered that not only is it more expensive now, but is not nearly as thick and sturdy. If it wasn't for me finding it on sale, discounted because it was a floor display, and a coupon, I would never had bought it. I was disappointed that they changed what was a wonderful product, just to save a buck.
