Melissa & Doug Wooden Pirate Chest Toy | Pirate Accessories for Kids | Halloween Toy | Pretend Play | 3+ | Gift for Boy or Girl

I had been nervous about ordering this since the price looked a little steep for a box, but I can honestly say it's one of the best value toys I have ever purchased. The quality is good and my 2 and 5 year old daughters have played with it for quite some time every day for the past 2 weeks and show no sign whatsoever of tiring of it. The only thing that I would say is that it needs some extra treasure, but I had understood this from the description and ordered some extra. Add a "Pirate treasure (60 pieces)" with a dozen necklaces and lots of extra gold and silver coins and you're away (I also ordered a good pirate telescope which really went down well and adds to the fun of the treasure hunts). The hidden compartment is difficult to get into for little fingers and tedious to remove small items from, but that is (at least for me) not a big issue. Thoroughly recommended.

My 4 year old loves this and wants to take it everywhere with him! It is on the pricey side however it is very well made and contains plastic 'gold' coins in a drawstring bag which can be hidden in a secret compartment. I cut out the treasure map from the packaging and my son loves adding his own bits and bobs too.Have read other reviews where they have put charity shop finds in the box too (bangles/bracelets etc), and I think some chocolate coins would be a good idea too.

This is a really nice treasure chest. Very nicely made with lots of details to make it look like the real thing. It is a greaying colour not the wood colour I was expecting but I don't think this is a big proble. The padlock scull is absolutely lovely. The chest is not too big or too small. Its just the right size for little pirates to hide their treasure inside. There is even a hidden area at the bottom of the chest. The accessories that come with it are ok but even with them inside its rather empty. I had to buy extra coins, jewels and a treasure map to add to it.Thinking with my head I would say overall it is a bit expensive for what you get (maybe £15 would be a more representative price). On the other hand I can't put a price on seeing my sons reaction when he found it, opened it and started going through all his treasure. Great success!

Great quality and a lovely size. Love the hidden compartment. Perfect for my little girl as no real lock so she can always get in to it.

The box is sturdy and looks like a proper worn treasure box. Love the secret compartment. My great nephew, 6 loves it, as does his cousins 5 & 4 & his brother 2!!! Bit of a fight over coins and eye patch!!!

The Treasure Chest was for my Pirate daft, 4 year old nephew. He totally loved it. The chest is very large and is of excellent quality. The Jolly Roger banner is also very good, while the coins are just basic plastic but their design is extremely authentic. The eye patch is ok, unfortunately it didn't fit my nephew but should fit an older child, between the age of 5-8. The star of this product though has to the chest. As I mentioned before the build quality is superb. It looks like it will last a lifetime and when my nephew has grown up, I can see the chest definitely kept as a keepsake box.

As you would expect, from Melissa and Doug, a solid chest. You need to buy other items to fill it.

Gave as a gift today and piece feel off as chest was removed from it's plastic wrapper.Very disappointed as it is otherwise a lovely toy
