While it was easy to put together, it has a chemical aroma that is VERY strong - that's even after 3 days of airing it out in an open room. While it has "ventilation" in the event a child would crawl into it... I'm pretty sure the holes won't make up for the fumes. Also, take the warning of "don't over tighten" - as this wood is not very dense, our toy box has a small crack already... and I don't imagine it will last very long with the kids.

The overall design is nice and the child-safe lid works great - just wish it was of higher quality.
