yo ho ho! super fun pirate toy!
By AOK2O2TNTW595 on 2007-05-30
My daughter (age 4.5) received this for Christmas after admiring it at her cousin's house for over a year and asking for it every time she saw it in stores. Since then she has played with it over and over again and totally loves it. Please don't let the other comment on this sway you, I don't know what that person is talking about. This is similar to other Melissa and Doug toys, which I think are very durable, quality, classic products. Your child will have a blast pretending to be a pirate, counting the "gold" and hiding secret treasures in the secret compartment at the bottom of the chest. You don't need a lot of bells and whistles to have very fun, imaginitive play. I highly recommend this over all the new Pirates of the Caribbean branded products which shouldn't even be marketed to children in the first place (hello, it's a grown-up movie!) - this product is much more appropriate for young children. Make yourself a newspaper hat and have some old fashioned fun with this great toy!!!
ARG!! Great toy!

My 3 and 8 year old boys love this treasure chest. It is heavy, very sturdy and well constructed. The skull latch pivotes to side to release lock, and it is easy enough for my 3-year-old to operate easily. Inside the chest is a slightly raised bottom with three planks of wood; the middle plank can be removed to access the secret compartment. The fabric flag and eye patch are substantial enough. The plastic coins are heavy, thick, well-made and deeply imprinted with a skull. The chest is large enough to hide other objects. I like to fill it with different things and have them go on a treasure hunt. Measure approx. 9.5" wide, 6.5" deep, 7.25" tall.
if there were zero stars......

This pirate chest is a total rip off. The chest is cheaply made and the contents inside are minimal. When I ordered it as a gift for someone, they sent me someone else's order....then refused to let me return my item for a refund when I finally received it. The company was very rude and not helpful in the mix up at all.
So ye be needin' a treasure chest to stash yer pirate booty...

We bought this item for my 5-year-old niece, who is obsessed with pirates. Captain Jacklyn Sparrow talked like a pirate for three days straight after she opened her present. She carries the chest with her everywhere, and she especially likes the "secret compartment." An excellent toy for imaginative play.
One happy Aunt

I gave this toy to my nephew for Christmas. He was very happy. He even tried to bury it in the backyard.
- not durable enough
By A28MZN7FO67SZB on 2007-11-07
The lid of the box came off the first time my son's friend dropped it on the floor. My husband was able to fix it with longer screws, however, I still belive the box is not durable enough. The patch is a bit on the tight side. The content of the box is indeed minimal, although as depicted in the photo.
Overall, I am not sorry I purchased it, it was a great addition to my son's Halloween costume.
- great for treasures
By A27FP2AH8LRWZZ on 2008-01-13
My son is 11 years old and wanted the chest just to keep his own personal treasures. He loves it. It's smaller than i thought it would be but it's just right for what he uses it for.

The picture is literally all that is included in this set. The price is very high for a few items. The "secret" space is not difficult to find. My son played with this for all of fifteen minutes. It is real wood, so it will last. It may be higher rated by a younger child's parent.
- Not pirates of the Caribean

This treasure chest is not from Disney. Thank God!
The chest is fairly solid (we've had some problems with a rivet but it's not a big deal. The hidden compartment is good, although, it would be nice if there was a way to brace it in, in case the chest is flipped over...again, not a biggie. The coins are nearly unbreakable, but dull copper, which is unexciting to my 5 year old, but cheap plastic coins are available in party supply store for practically dirt. The eye patch is ignored and the Jolly Roger is ignored, but when he wants to play pirates, this chest is always part of the play - every time. Another winner from Melissa & Doug.
- Perfect for a rough 5-year old, Great "secret" compartment.

Great toy for a 5-year old who loves pirates. I've seen lots of imaginative play involving this treasure chest and it's pretty neat looking! I wish I would have found this sooner. We have lots of pirate "booty" loaded into this chest each day. I'm happy that we bought it and it is used quite often. When it isn't being used, it looks great in my son's room. Another great Melissa & Doug item.
