WOW,
**Reading this has made me think, I made a blanket chest for my wife
a year ago, the lid is recessed. So, if that lid were to drop on my
son's hand it surely would be able to break somethingif not worse. Which
I dare not think! I am on my way to the store for something that will
protect him. He is 4 and I seriously doubt that he could even lift the
lid since it is recessed, but nonetheless I am going to "fix" this
possible situation. As well as check the toy box in his room. Some
things that seem so inocculous really do much harm.
THanks for the warning

The kid's 4, which means he's old enough to understand what "no"
means. Tell the kid to keep away from the chest, and spank him if he
doesn't. Which should be sufficient, but kids today don't react that
way. So, get a locking latch, install it, and keep it locked. Either
that or keep a check on the kid.

As far as the toy box, you've probably read my views on them. If
not, there's someone where in one of my posts in this thread.

JOAT
Shhh... that's the sound of nobody caring what you think.
