The Maker’s Chest

Created by a Child, for Children

8-year old Maker, Lars Gerding, dreamed of way to keep his Legos organized. Until the Maker’s Chest was created, Lars kept his Legos in bins and tubs like any other enthusiastic builder. His jumbled storage system limited his ability to build. He often felt frustrated because finding a certain piece would take him a long time. Lars and his dad, Chris, used the ‘iterative process’ to develop the Maker’s Chest. After several trial and error builds, they realized they were onto something. Lars didn’t want to make a chest for himself anymore. He wanted to share it with everyone.

Quality Materials

The Larscraft Maker’s Chest selects and uses only the best materials. We want this beautiful piece of furniture to become an heirloom piece. You child will grow up with it and pass it on to his or her children and savor the fond memories of using it when they were young. We have chosen 0.5”UV coated birch plywood. We UV print the graphics onto the wood so it treats the wood much like staining it does. We use two lifters to hold up the lid while in use and there’s a little bit of magnetic magic in the latch system.

Abundant Storage

The Makers Chest is a dynamic storage system for LEGO® bricks and toys. It cleans up the mess and helps reinforce organizational habits, teaching kids that, if everything has a place, it takes less time to find that perfect part.

The chest has six trays removable trays. Each tray includes 2 dividers. The overall dimensions are 18″ x 18″ x 36″ (455mm x 455mm x 910mm). What does this mean? The Maker’s Chest can hold A LOT of bricks or toys.

Durable Build

The Maker’s Chest ships preassembled. This is an heirloom piece of furniture. We spend hours painstakingly cutting, sanding, and assembling this Maker’s Chest. Each piece is handmade in our warehouse in Northeast Ohio. The Maker’s Chest uses traditional tongue and groove woodworking techniques. Additionally, it is glued and screwed to complete the sturdy assembly before we carefully wrap it and pack it for shipping. The best part (in our opinion) about this business is that Lars, the creator of the product, participates in the business as much as his schedule permits.
