Teacher Created ResourcesPlastic Treasure Chest (TCR8759)

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.

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

Hassle free

A little smaller than expected but very nice

The hinges almost immediately broke, but it's still usable

I ordered this treasure box after I saw another teacher at my school had it. We use it as a reward/incentive program for the kids when they behave well, answer questions, participate, etc. I love that this box is large enough for me to put a variety of prizes inside and that it doesn't break easily. I ordered it at the beginning of August, and it is September now and holding up well. I really like the size, sturdyness of it, and the fact that it is durable and reusable. I highly recommend this treasure box.

I finally but the bullet and decided to have a treasure box. I bought an inflatable one first and it wouldn’t hold air more than a couple days. I came across this one and gave it a try. It is very sturdy plastic and looks great sitting in the bookcase. The kids are able to very easily lift the lid when they need to get in the box. We all love it.

The lid broke off on the second use and won’t reattach.
