These were absolutely adorable and were great quality. They were easy to assemble (our 6 year old assembled them) and looked wonderful with the rest of the carnival decor we had for our party! You can fit candy and a few small toys inside for gift boxes or you could put cupcakes inside as well. I would say 2 small cupcakes would fit side by side. They are durable and kids would have to make a concerted effort to do damage to these. The only thing I would say is to not stick heavy items inside unless you tape the bottom of the box but then the weight may still ruin the top of the box. My daughter put a candy apple inside and it held up just fine but I would say 2 candy apples and the top of the box may tear.These were fantastic and the kids loved them!
