Customer Reviews

not durable
I bought this for my 5 year old daughter and we tried to take very good care of it. Within a few days of careful use, one of the latches bent, a hinge broke off and a piece of the edge came unglued. It is a great idea, but needs better construction. On a positive note, my daughter loved it and would have spent hours drawing and creating with the tools inside if I let her. However, I had to take the box away so further damage does not occur before I can fix it. The drawers work fine. The problem is with the two doors on top that flip out. Note about drawers; Little plastic door knobs pop out. Need to be glued in.

quality of box very disappointing
Our son received this as a gift, and we sent it back. The box is made of inferior wood, and very poorly constructed. Not really "constructed" at all - rather just glued together, and not well, at that. Two of the corners were coming apart.

Also, the lid opens in two parts. The drawback: when you open or close either side, the plastic trays on the inside that hold the crayons and pastels, fall out, as there is nothing securing them to the box. So, you have to try to hold the tray in place while closing either side.

We can't comment on the supplies themselves, as we did not allow our son to try them, or else he would not have been able to return the item.

Happy Art Box recipient
I got this message from the recipient's mother:

He loves it, really! well-made drawer - shelf design. It's heartwarming when he settles down industriously using his art supplies.
