Description
This set of two studded storage boxes is made in the style of old travel luggage, with a white finish, pale blue edging and a row of silver-coloured studs along every edge. Each box carries the words "That's what little boys are made of" across the front, set between a pencil-style sketch of a sailing boat and a sitting puppy, while the top of the smaller box asks "What are little boys made of?" above a drawing of two little boys. Both are made from MDF and close with a silver-coloured clasp at the front, with metal carry handles at the sides. The larger box stands 27cm high, 44.5cm wide and 27cm deep.
We think they suit a baby or toddler's room best, for little ones up to three. The larger box takes folded blankets, muslins or soft toys, and the smaller one is a good home for first shoes, cards and the small things you want to keep from those early years. Stacked at the foot of a cot or on a shelf, they keep a room tidy. They are storage pieces for the room rather than toys, so they are best opened and filled by grown-ups.
The white finish, pale blue trim and studding give them their travel-trunk look, and the front clasp keeps each lid shut between uses, while the side handles make it easy to lift a box down from a shelf. Dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe any marks with a barely damp cloth, drying straight away, as MDF is best kept dry. As a present for a little boy, fill the smaller box with a few first-year keepsakes and set it on top of the larger one, ready to use from day one.

Frequently Asked
How big are these storage boxes?
The larger box measures 27cm high, 44.5cm wide and 27cm deep. The smaller box is a size down, so it sits neatly on top of the larger one.
What are the boxes made of?
Both boxes are made from MDF. They have a white finish with pale blue edging, silver-coloured studs, a front clasp and metal side handles.
How do the boxes close and carry?
Each box closes with a silver-coloured clasp at the front. The metal handles at the sides make it easy to lift a box down from a shelf.
What is written on the boxes?
The front of each box reads "That's what little boys are made of" with a sailing boat and a puppy. The top of the smaller box asks "What are little boys made of?" above a sketch of two boys.
Who would this set suit as a gift?
We suggest it for a baby or toddler up to three, as tidy storage for the nursery. The boxes are storage pieces for the room, not toys.
How should I look after the boxes?
Dust them with a soft dry cloth and wipe any marks with a barely damp cloth. Dry them straight away, as MDF is best kept away from water.
