Great toybox Dereck, one of the projects high on my list of to dos as my grandaughter is now a toddler.

Can I ask why you painted the inside and what type of paint as my first thoughts are that it would chip off when he chucks his toys in. Also does it have feet / buffers or are you fitting castors, I'm undecided.

cheers

I used Dulux paint on the inside which they say stand up to knocks, mind you if any chips and dings are made they will never be seen with all the toys they have now:funny:

I did not make any feet for it. One thing I will say is if you do make a box fit a soft closeing stay to protect little fingers. I did a test by putting my hand in the opening and let the lid close it works great this was only to check to see if it needed one or two units as the instructions are for a flat panel type lid
