Just for fun, what Toy chest di you have as a kid?

[RobTMego]

A couple of years back I searched and found out the maker and style of the Toy chest, that was handed down from my brother 10 years older than me and Sister 7 years older than me. I had used this chest until from ages 2 to about 11, then it was sold at a garage sale.

I recall a white box with a red wooden lid. Not sure if the bottom was wicker or something a bit more sturdy.
Thanks for the memory jolt. I had not thought of that in a long time.

My parents painted one of these to match my furniture. I still have it; it's full of my son's rock collection.

I had a really big wooden toy box, the size of a hassic (sp) or ottoman. My mom and I used to rotate my toys from it every couple of months. I was only allowed to play w/ the dolls sitting on top of the toy box, (b/c I had so many), until the next rotation.

My family had one but by the time I was born it was relegated to the basement with my older siblings toys in it. Still I have fond memories of that toy chest (one being large amounts of Plastigoop being spilled in it) and I would LOVE to find one like it again. Unfortunately no photos of it exist and my memory isn't clear. It was big, wooden, and multi colored, that's all I remember.

That's awesome that you still have the same one! Somehow the oven mitts always ended up at the bottom!

I had a wood toy box with cowboys on the outside, it had been my older brothers, passed to me and I never got rid of it, or my toys. now it is my sons and still in his room, although he is past toys now and uses it for blankets

Just had a big cardboard box... but it served its purpose.

I grew up in a big, old farmhouse. My parents turned part of the walk-in attic into a playroom with shelves on all the walls for my toys. Being the little OCD kid I was, I spent more time organizing and re-organizing my toys on those shelves than I did playing with them. A box would have driven me crazy.

I also had a small chest of drawers for smaller toys, doll clothes, and instructions for battery operated toys. (I had a lot of those!)
