The original toibocks - storage container by ToiBocks - review by missymery

My boyfriend bought me the ToiBocks. I was so excited! Finally, somewhere nice to place my toys. At the moment, they are just packed all in their original boxes, taking up tons of room! When I first got this, I was so stoked to get it all organized! Opened it up, and began.

When you receive the ToiBocks, you are met with a box that it comes in. Opening the box you see foam holding it in place on either side, and it's packed in bubble wrap. This foam - I don't even know what to say! I hated it. It was cheap foam, so it fell apart making it difficult to get out without just turning the box over and shaking it out. After you remove the ToiBocks from the box, you will see two clear plastic bags. One has the key with a warning. And the other has your warranty, which I have yet to sign up for. But you can also sign up for the warranty online. Then you have a nice instruction sheet, and a sheet for if you encounter problems in unlocking the ToiBocks, or putting it back together.

The coolest feature of the ToiBocks, is the hidden lock. The top of the ToiBocks does not lock, so if you have children or nosy family members, it is a nice fake out. Just put some jewelry or even batteries, chargers and such on the top shelf. Unless they know how to open the bottom, or find the key and mess around lock enough, they won't figure out how to get the bottom. Where the fun stuff is. But, if you don't have any fear, you can deck the top of this box with more toys.

I won't reveal how to unlock this box, since it is a lot of the appeal. But it is not as easy as I thought. The directions didn't make much sense to me, and I kept putting the key in odd spots. Eventually I just called the number and spoke to a very nice girl. She said she got this call a lot. After we hung up, I couldn't figure out how to get it back in. Called back. What a nice girl, putting up with me. But finally, I got the ToiBocks back in one piece.

While on the phone, the lady gave me a nice tip. If you have some nosy people, or want to hide the key anyway, you can hide it in some cool places - since it is a magnet. Like the inside of a mirror, or under a metal desk. But do NOT put the key near a computer, or anything it could mess with. It is a magnet!

On to the ToiBocks and it's storage. It is a medium sized chest overall, in my opinion. 11 inches long and 7 inches wide, 6 1/4 inches tall and weighs a grand total of 5 lbs! This box was not as light as I thought, which is good! But then again, I'm a weak person. It's made from a gorgeous and smooth dark brown, cherry like wood. It doesn't match my room much, but I found a nice place for it to be at home. The lining inside is a dark red velvet texture. Nice and smooth, again. Very sexy and elegant looking!

The top shelf has 3 blocked off parts to it. One large and two small squares. I used this top storage to store batteries, my two small vibrators, my H20 Jo Lube, and my LELO Liv charger. You can use this part for small things such as all this, or for something discreet like jewelry! But like I said, my guess is if you store battiers or chargers, people won't understand what they're for.

The bottom half is just a large square for storage of bigger toys, that no one will get to! I have a some what small collection at the moment. I have my LELO Liv, LELO Ella, Platinum Jack Rabbit, Turbo Glider, and Ben-Wa Balls sitting in the bottom half of my ToiBocks. They all fit nicely in there! The Jack Rabbit seems to take up a nice bit of room, and will probably be moved when I get more toys and they need a spot since it is so large.

Do be careful, though. Make sure the toys that do some in contact are safe to be in contact with. You probably don't want porous toys touching each other, or other toys for that matter! I have my LELO toys in their nice satin pouches, and my Jack Rabbit is in a nice pouch as well, so it won't rub on anything. Just use safe storing!
