Comments about Lillian Vernon School Days Book & Chest:

One more parent asking you to please bring this product back! It is the best way to keep "the best of" school work from each year organized and neat. It also motivates you to actually keep things that will some day be great memories. You can't have just one to get you through all of the years of school.

I have five children and found this storage box about 10 years ago. It is not only a terrific way to neatly store your children's special school papers, but also a pretty box to look at.

"I will buy again"

By Scrapping in Vegas from Henderson, NV on 7/14/2009

Pros:

Durable

Describe Yourself:

Grandparent

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon School Days Book & Chest:

I Love this product and am so glad to have found someone who still carries it. I bought one of these at a garage sale 8 years ago to use for scrapbook paper storage. Over time it became difficult to use because I could not see the contents. I actually gave away one of the drawers to my best friend and had to ask for it back when I figured out what I really wanted to use it for. It is the best storage and moving box for SCRAPBOOKS. Each drawer will hold your average 12 x 12 full scrapbook.

Definately buy again!!!

Comments about Lillian Vernon School Days Book & Chest:

This is a great product!!!! I have 3 boys and 2 are in school. I was having a hard time keeping all their papers in one place and neat. Each draw has enough space for tons of papers and art projects. You can use each draw as a year, preschool, kindergarten,etc. I will definately buy another one when my youngest starts school!!

Comments about Lillian Vernon School Days Book & Chest:

I bought one of these years ago for my daughter's school work. (She's now 25) I just bought one for my grandson! I followed the directions for the first box, and then was able to do the other 5 w/o looking at the directions. Very simple. For large projects, I just take a photo and include that in the box. What a great way of keeping school papers, reports, etc that you want to save from cluttering up the house. LOVE IT!

I would buy again

Not as expected

By Sam

from Hungtinton Beach, CA on 1/7/2009

Gift:

Cons:

Delicate, Low Quality, Too Small

Describe Yourself:

Midrange Shopper

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon School Days Book & Chest:

I ordered the chest which came unassembled. I had to put together the chest and even worse, 6 boxes! It's made of thick card-board so it's hard to fold and maneuver. I finally got the hang of it after the 4th box and several paper cuts. The instructions are small, hard to read and require me to read them over and over again to understand which "flaps" they are talking about.
Boxes instead of pull-out drawers is a BIG MINUS. I have to take the top boxes out to get to the bottom ones. Since I'm also saving all of my daughter's homework and tests, one box can only store a couple of months worth of work. No way this chest can save "memories from preschool to grade 6" unless "memories" do not include school work.
I would not recommend this chest. You'd be better off with Rubbermaid chest of drawers which can hold much more, not to mention better quality and usage.

I'm buying more for my other children

By clutter bug from arkansas on 11/9/2008

Gift:

Pros:

Attractive Design, Bright, Durable

Describe Yourself:

Midrange Shopper

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon School Days Book & Chest:

This is a compact way to preserve my child's school work. She usually hates to let me throw any of her work out- it was easy to get her to understand that if it all doesn't fit in the box, then we need to whittle through until it does. I also take pictures of her larger projects that won't fit and store them in this. I've had the last one for 4 years. It's held up well, and I'm glad they are selling them again.

Comments about Lillian Vernon School Days Book & Chest:

I bought this when my son started kindergarten 5 years ago. I've found that 1 box holds 2 grades worth of school keepsakes. It fits perfectly on the top shelf of his closet. My youngest is about to start kindergarten and I was thrilled to find this item again.

Saves Precious Memories & Precious Space

By Mom of Two

from Southern Illinois on 7/10/2007

Pros:

Attractive Design, Durable, Easy to Use, Lots of Storage

Best Uses:

Bedroom

Describe Yourself:

Homeowner

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon School Days Book & Chest:

I bought two of these and am ordering two more. I labeled each drawer for the school year (Pre-k, K, 1...) and they hold everything from that school year: report cards, drawings, homemade greeting cards. The drawers are each large enough to hold large paper school crafts but the whole box is small enough to fit on the top shelf of their closet. It makes it easy to tuck away all the memories for later years. I'm getting two more to take us through junior high.
