Took forever to put this up, but built it last spring. Pretty basic pine box. The panels are MDF that are painted with magnetic paint then chalkboard paint and are held in from the inside by a couple screws so they can be easily replaced as they take some wear from my 3 year old niece. Might end up replacing the individual hinges with a long piano hinge if the short screws end up not holding…

Can’t take credit for the idea of having the gap all the way around the lid….inspiration came from here:

I love the fact that even if the top falls it may pinch an arm a little bit but shouldn’t break anything!
