Abstract: A combination toy chest and table has a top lid which serves as a desk top, and which is pivoted at one end to be movable between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the toy chest serves its normal function with the lid covering the toy chest. In its open position, the lid is displaced approximately 90.degree. from the toy chest and is supported by preferably two legs to give it stability in this position. A person such as a child need only to place a chair next to the table for use at this point. A spring loaded locking mechanism is employed for locking the top in its closed position. In a further embodiment, the top lid for the toy chest extends beyond the width of the toy chest, so that it could also be used as a desk when the toy chest is in its closed position.
