I really wanted to absolutely love this product and purchase a couple as a main type of storage in my kids playspace. Overall, I'm underwhelmed and will unfortunately be looking for a different type of container.I'm pretty sure that this would be great for older kids, but at the same time I'm not sure what older kids would need to store that includes a playmat, other than Legos. So it feels like the target market is missed with this sizing.For reference on those looking to buy for toddler toys, this fits (almost exactly) one large bag of duplos. The unfortunate thing is that a duplos bag is actually pretty sturdy and functional on its own. I hoped that it would accommodate this bag plus some more stragglers from other sets, but unfortunately it does not. So, I'll be looking for a bigger storage set for those.The playmat itself is large and the drawstring concept is great. I've tried a couple times and I can't seem to get it to sinch together on both sides though. So I'm not sure if it is a problem with the specific one that I have, or user error.It's important to note that the playmat is really loud because of the material it is made with (think 80s jacket or track pants). If you have sensory issues where things seem loud to begin with, this might not be the best option.However, since the material is so thin, it doesn't take up too much space which is great. The picture that I showed makes it seem like it does, but it can very much be pressed on to compress further. That said, it should be noted that I removed the mat to be able to fold it easier. Which, that is another great point at least for this container that the creators allowed for the velcro to come apart to detach the mat.The company could take it one step further though and put a zipper/mesh compartment in the top of the lid so that way it could be put completely out of the way without taking up any storage space inside of the container itself.In the end, I did find a pretty good solution for what to do with it. I did a recent organizational project where I removed all puzzles from their boxes and put them individually into waterproof zipper bags. This container was great storage for those zipper pouches. My hope is that I can lay the mat out on the table, my kids can do a puzzle, and when they're done the pieces should be easy to find since they were all contained on the mat. However, while I found an alternative use, I'm not sure that I'll keep it since I will have to find other storage options and I would like everything to be similar.I do love that it seems to be lined with a sturdier material-- Maybe even waterproof on the inside? It makes the quality seem better. I do wish though, that they would put some ribbing on the sides with a sturdy cardboard piece that could be placed at the bottom so that it stands up on its own without being completely full.Also, the handles are just way too long. They could be half the size so it doesn't touch the floor.The product itself though it does seem really well made. The stitching isn't coming apart at all, the depths of color for the gray is really nice, and the handles- while long- are soft.If this company could come up with a much larger version of this, comparable to the large Sprouts rectangular storage box, then I think it would be perfect to buy multiples for storing toys. Can you imagine a 2ft or even 3ft toy storage box with handles AND a mat? Talk about a dream.If they could solve all the problems (sturdier base, quieter mat, lid storage, larger size option), this would honestly be perfect since the quality is spot on. At this size though, it is extremely hard to justify the price tag.
