Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I don't have the toy box it was for my grand daughter but it was about, 18 1/2" tall X 36" long X 16" wide. I just made it to size on material that I had on hand. One thing to remember is after have a few kids they like to get inside of it so add blocking  so the bottom doesn't give in when they are standing inside of it. It makes a great hiding place for hide and seek. I tend to over build things with extra bracing that you can see on the bottom of the lid and use a few toy box lid supports

and its better to over do it then have smashed fingers

What are the dimensions? I like your design, I need to build one that can take alot of abuse from a pretty ruff 3 yearold.

Scott, nice looking chest.  Sometimes just "Winging it" is the best solution to building something that is truly the "One of a kind" and unique in its design and looks.  You have accompolished this in this project.  Like the size and the color with the exceptional nice grain look.  Makes it look rich and very eye appealing.  Excellent craftsmanship Scott, Thank you for sharing your work.

Just winged it. Designed as I went. I tend to over build things and they usually weigh a ton when I am done but they last forever lol.
