I agree completely. I’m planning to add one in the future. I have been debating with my wife on the style and finished the chest in the meantime. We won’t be letting the kids use it without supervision until the debate is settled.

Nice ‘blanket chest’ What are the dimensions. If you use two of this style lid supports ,you’ll hold it open nicely. but if you use three of these, the lid should stay open from 1” to fully open till you close the lid all the way down. I see you gave space on the front rail to help protect the little fingers. nice chest.https://www.menards.com/main/hardware/casters-furniture-hardware/furniture-parts-hardware/national-hardware-reg-antique-brass-center-spring-lid-support/n208-686/p-1444448930190-c-13091.htm?tid=-3170911408068573780&ipos=2

Exterior dimensions are 32” x 22” and 22” tall. The chest bottom sits sits about 2.5 inches off of the floor.

Thanks for the idea with those spring stays. I considered something extremely similar.

At the end of the day I didn’t want to poke a ton of holes in my piece for something I wasn’t sure would work. I know tortion hinges will work so I ordered those even though they’re the most expensive solution.

The lid is thick I basically just milled my stock for the top until I had a consistent thickness and stopped there. So the top is a full 7/8” as a result. I weighed it up at 14.5 lbs.
