The original toibocks - storage container discontinued by ToiBocks - review by ~LaUr3n~

I have hundreds of toys and to save space, I keep them in two huge antique traveling luggage trunks. While this does keep them in all the same area, the boxes are all stacked on top of each other to get the most of that space. If I want a specific toy, I often end up taking a few minutes to find it, a few minutes to dig it out, and then a bunch of minutes putting the rest of the boxes back in. The Original Toibocks was on my wish list for some time because I wanted a nice box that could be displayed and would keep enough of my favorite picks in it for quick access.

DESIGN/DIMENSIONS:

The ToiBocks has a very missionary time period design to it with its smooth straight lines, small amount of decorative contours, and its one simple bottom arch. It is made of a gorgeous deep cherry colored medium-density fibreboard. This is necessary due to humidity or lack their of. It prevents the tray from sticking or becoming too loose. It looks like a valet vanity or jewelry box. The design makes it able to be used for anything you want really. It can store and lock up toys, important documents, jewels, money, electronics, keys, etc. The feet of the box could scratch wood surfaces, but it comes with felt circles to put on the bottom to prevent that.

On the outside the dimensions are 11 1/8" across x 6 1/8" tall x 7 1/8" back. The top flips open attached by hinges. The inside is lined with a very fine and non piling ruby velvet. It does seem to be easy to scratch and the quality of the felt seems low. On the inside there is a partitioned inner shelf that comes out revealing an under compartment that is 11" x 6" of space and 2.5" tall. I wish it was just a bit taller because it seems that I can fit one row of toys in there and barely a second row on top of that. If I do, the drawer needs to be forced down. This was one of the only cons I found with the Toibocks.

LOCKING FEATURE:

Did I mention your unmentionables will can be locked up too? They can be! The top of the box has hinges that flip the top open. The tray is what locks into place preventing grubby hands from getting to the items underneath the tray. There is a locking lever inside that can only be released by a magnetic key on the outside but there is no visible lock! The magnetic key is a round disk with a the ToiBocks logo on it. If someone found it they really would not know what it was to or even that it is a key. The included instructions actually did more harm than good. It took me 30 minutes to open the box myself. I gave it to my partner, explained the device and he got it on the first try not following the instructions. Once you find where to open it, it will catch the magnetic lock and allow access to the under compartment.

PACKAGING:

The Toibocks come in a simple cardboard box with a picture of the contents on the outside. The box is protected on the inside by a air bubble sleeve sheet and some Styrofoam. All of this can be thrown away. There are also instructions to open the box, info, and warranty information.

The box is gorgeous. I wish the wood had less of a polished finish though. I like things to look more rustic and vintage. The wood lacks the feel of the grain. It still is pretty though and I get a lot of compliments on it. It would be better if the entire thing locked as well. Because it doesn't, the top shelf currently has my external hard drive, a LELO charger , and small toys that are not embarrassing to me. Since I wanted to get the most out of the small space, I chose to store some of my favorite go to silicone toys that can touch each other when stored. Like I mentioned earlier I was a little frustrated with the height of the inner storage and wish it was just a tad taller to fit a second row of toys. But I do love not having to dig through my two giant antique trucks to get to some favorite toys now! I hope they make different types of these in the future.


As you can see...I kind of placed them in there like a jig-saw puzzle and the toys I chose to go on top were smaller than the ones I wanted to put there. I love it just the same and wish I had purchased it sooner!

NOTE TO THE MAKER: I saw your blog...I am one customer that WOULD pay more for this to be made in the USA. It is great!

I absolutely love my ToiBocks. I have at least half a dozen toys neatly packed away in there and have found that it is capable of holding everything I need for a "regular" masturbation session or sexcapade. It is easy to clean and dust off and looks gorgeous in my bedroom. I am so proud to own it!
