Good quality, kids love it

Simple, but sturdy design. Kids love having their own chests and hiding them around the house. They hide their own coins in the false floor. I cutout the treasure map on the packaging and they love to pretend they are looking for each other's chests.

Good if your kids like pirates

My kids are iffy on pirates. Don't love them, don't hate them, and the same applies for this. I would give it three stars but the product is better than that. It's quality stuff and can be fun, but it's not a great auto-generator of fun. Your kids won't suddenly love pirates. Look, this just seemed like a fun little gift and I think my kids have played with it like 3 times. Again, good product, but it doesn't seem to carry that intrinsic spark that the best creative play toys do. Does that make sense?

Not the best option for your money

We own a lot of products from this company. Some are better than others. This one is pretty flimsy and I probably wouldn't buy it again. If the pictures look good to you, you may be happy with what you get, but I would have preferred something heavier. There is a cool secret compartment, which helps, but the overall quality is lower than expected.

Great for a treasure hunt

I bought this chest for a treasure hunt for my son's 7th birthday party. I spent hours on-line trying to find a square chest, since his party was a Minecraft themed party rather than a pirate theme. I could not find anything truly square that would do the job. I saw this when searching for wooden chests. I deliberated about buying it because it was hard to tell on-line how much treasure it would actually hold. There were conflicting reviews, some reviewers thought is was larger than they expected and some thought it was smaller. I needed it to hold several treasures (enough for up to 20 kids). When it arrived I was pleased that is was larger than I was expecting it to be and that my treasures easily fit into this chest. I filled it with many mardi gras necklaces, gold coins, jeweled rings, and large jewels (red for redstone, emerald, diamond, etc for the Minecraft elements). I also found some small novelty treasure chests that were just large enough to hold a Hershey's chocolate nugget (iron ore for Minecraft) and I put 20 of them in this treasure chest as well. My one word of advice if you are having a treasure hunt. Make a small treasure bag for each kid and put them in the treasure chest and then, if needed, sprinkle a few loose treasures on the top for effect. I did not do that and left all the treasures "loose" in the chest. When the kids finally found this chest at our treasure hunt, they went wild, with "treasure" flying every where and it was hard to be sure every kid got at least one of every type of item in the chest. This treasure chest would hold 20 small bags (like the small red bag that comes with the chest or a sandwich bag that is maybe 1/3 to 1/2 half full) filled with a couple of mardi gras necklaces, rings, jewels, coins, and small candies. The chest itself seemed well made to me, as have other Melissa and Doug products we have purchased. The chest was even dropped on the ground from standing height and it is still intact. My kids haven't used the other things much that came with the chest although they would be great accessories for a Halloween pirate costume. The bandana is a little on the large side but I think it would work fine for using it as a head covering. The coins are not really "gold" in color, so if you want gold-colored coins, you'll need to purchase them separately.

Great product for kids

We've had this treasure chest for about a month now and I've been very happy with it. I'm a little surprised people complain about the construction because I feel it's pretty robust relative to most other toys these day. It's real wood, which is rare and generally a solid product. The lock/skull needs to twist to open the chest, which I thought was clever. This keeps it locked when new kids come to the house. ....how to open the chest is a secret. Overall the chest looks good. Paint job is decent. Could be better if being picky, but it's just fine for kids. It's not too heavy. I had a treasure chest the same size as this one when I was a kid. Yes, it was more robust, but weighted a LOT more. You didn't carry it around the house. Hence, I like this one is lighter. Love the feature of a hidden/secret compartment in the bottom. I just adds another element of mystery. The coins are just okay, but serve their purpose. I wish they were gold in color. I just ordered some gold coins ($2 on Amazon), but haven't received them yet. The pirate patch that comes with this doesn't get used at all. My son doesn't like it (too tight) and it doesn't fit our heads. It's not adjustable, other than the limited range of the elastic band. The flag is fun to have. We drape it over a pillow on the couch to designate "the pirate ship". We found buying pirate hats was a waste. They're just not functional enough to be used. They last about 2 minutes because they fall off or spin on your head. But buying the foam swords is recommended. They're great for playing around the house without anyone getting hurt. I don't recall the details, but you could buy a pack of 6 foam swords for like $10 on Amazon.

Best Pirate Chest Purchase.

This is the cutest, most sturdy pirate chest. I use it to hold figit toys prizes for a pirate-themed math intervention class. Kids love the Jolly Roger flag too. Arrrr!

This chest is sturdy and well made

I bought this for my grandson at least seven years ago when he was into captain hook and pirate toys.Now my two little granddaughters have inherited it and they love it too. All the children love the hidden compartment in the bottom to hide their special little treasures! It is still as good as new .
