Teacher Created Resources Large Plastic Treasure Chest Classroom Rewards Pirate Party Goody Box (TCR8759) (Pack of 1)

My preschool class earns tokens for their Bucket of Happiness and at the end of each month they get to pick a price out of the treasure chest. The cardboard one I originally bought was breaking down. I wanted a slightly bigger and more durable treasure chest. I found all that in this treasure chest and an additional bonus it looks great, more like a real treasure chest. My kids’ eyes lit up when they saw it. I do recommend taking the lid off when the kids are searching through it. It tends to pop off. I decided less wear and tear off I carefully take it off before so it lasts longer. Price seemed a little high upon ordering, but when I received I felt it was well worth it!

The lid was a little bit flimsy, but used mostly as a display this wasn't a problem. The bottom part is decently made and sturdy enough for handing out candy and as a display.

The chest looks lovely on the outside, and not like plastic at all.I got this to add a pleasant aesthetic to storing RPG tabletop figures. They're miniature figures, which means this treasure chest can hold many of them at once. I also bought foam to layer the inside, because I don't want the figures to become scratched by rattling around. It's already working wonderfully for its purpose.For other purposes, it may be worth knowing that the inside is obviously black plastic, buut you could easily fix that with DIY methods. One would be by using super glue and an attractive liner. Two would be fashioning a lined insert, if you don't want to try to glue a liner into the chest directly. Personally, I probably won't bother prettying up its inside, as for me it's filled with foam and figures anyway.My only concern is an oversight of mine, and what I see as a small design flaw: the lid does not latch. I'll be 3D printing 2 custom clips that are bracket shaped ( ] ) to solve this problem. I plan to have them go over the lip of the lid and base. Think of the slider on a zipping plastic baggie, and you'll be able to picture my intention on how it'll work. Only, of course, 1 slider will sit at each front edge instead of going all the way to the other side. With some matching paint, it should look great. You can likely try this, too. Even if you don't have a 3D printer, then I'm sure you could take measurements and either find an appropriate clip, or a site like Etsy where someone would custom print what you need. As for color to paint such a clip: I plan to use Bronze colored metallic paint + a layer of sparse Matte black.

Cute idea but lid broke off after a day from opening and closing

I bought this is a treasure box to have in the car for my son to hold rewards/treats for good behavior. Great size and holds a lot of little toys/candy but the lid was hard to open.

Perfect size. Great quality. Ended up filling it with more room than I thought. Would definitely buy it again

Hassle free

Item arrived broken. Lid in several pieces.
