Almost finished a toy box, will probably be a gift for a friends kiddo… or replace one of my kiddos boxes. Made from hickory and walnut. Found some really nice hickory boards with interesting grain character. Came out pretty good. Only step left is installing the handles that just need to finish curing. Yellow light in my garage distorts
Color a bit, but overall satisfied with the finished product.

well done, looks good

might think about adding some 'anti-slam' supports to protect fingers

I've used these with success. https://www.hardwaresource.com/products/toy-box-lid-supports-weight-rated?variant=46915548086545&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=16728214926&gbraid=0AAAAAD_r90R1NIQ90yHHIQUP35xlbcshv&gclid=CjwKCAiAlMHIBhAcEiwAZhZBUhjmKMZmNBYAdyrjUZRqO5voxUqik5ztkSllvr1ShJhRleUP_8lE_xoCyl0QAvD_BwE

Looks great! How do I get the kids to put all their crap back into the box?

Story of my life. 5 kids and crap everywhere. When I'm finally fed up I grab a black yard trash bag and announce its purge time. Anything in the bag gets thrown away. You'd be amazed how quickly they can move during a toy purge.

That looks awesome and really highlights modern parents vs Gen X's parents. My old man built a huge toy box out of 3/4" plywood and the safety feature was a one time verbal disclaimer of "don't let this lid fall on you or it's gonna hurt like *****"

He was right. It did. 4 times. I commend your hinge choice.
