This chest will look great in any room. It provides great storage for blankets, toys, and games with a tray for smaller items. Use it as a coffee table, entryway bench, at the foot of your bed, or as a toy box. I used the plans listed below which were easy to follow and not very complicated. Overall this was a great project and I would definitely recommend it. It cost me $96 to make this project.
Demensions: 18 1/2 inches tall x 19 inches depth x 51 1/2 inches wide
Here are the plans I followed with a few modifications:

Modifications:
- Instead of using plywood and trim for the top I used 4 - 1x6 boards
- I used a biscuit joiner and doweling jig instead of the Kreg jig for joinery
Soft close lid supports I am using:
