 Adult supervision needed January 7, 2009
Great idea and the box itself is well made and has plenty of room, if you don't have cymbals. The latch mechanism is kind of tricky and the steel frame needs to be beefed up especially around the pivot points. The underside mat is kind of lame, who wants to sit on the floor in front of somebody beating on a drum set?
 AK Rock Box December 30, 2008
After I saw the Rock Band taking up the family room, I looked on Amazon for storage and found the AK Rock Box. We ordered on a Saturday and received by Wednesday. I love it! It is perfect for storing, looks nice and is a great extra seat to add to our family room. Worth every penny!
Family Loves It!!! December 30, 2008

One of the issues that kept me from buying Rockband was all the equipment that would sit out and clutter my den. The rock box is the perfect solution to this Rockband problem. I bought this for Christmas and have only been using for a few days but so far the entire family loves it. The drums pull out nice and they sit at a perfect height to sit at the couch and rock the drums. One caution; make sure you use the release lever on the left side of the handle before you try to store the drums. I didn't at first and one of the arms bent a little (no big deal and easily fixed). Pulling the handle up first before pushing the release lever makes releasing the lock easier.
Two guitars fit nicely along with the microphone and some extra controllers. I am sure I could find some problems with it or improvements but for the money if it lasts 3-5 years I am happy.
Overall I would recommend this for any one that wants to get rid of the clutter of rock band. It also works great as an ottoman to put your feet on while you are playing other games.

This is such a clever idea. I love multi-functional furniture. I'm thrilled to get a the Rockband set-up out of the living room corner and tucked away in a great looking piece of furniture. The drum lift works as intended and is very stable given the heavy weight of the ottoman. It's a terrific alternative to the cheesy, wobbly stand that comes with the drum set.
We have only one complaint, and one that I haven't seen mentioned in the reviews listed above. Since the drum is tucked into the ottoman there's no place for the peddle to hook onto, so it has to be positioned in front of the ottoman. The drum peddle quickly rubbed a three inch hole in the front of the ottoman! We fixed the problem by attaching a metal plate so the peddle can sit up against the plate. It doesn't look that great but when we are done playing that side goes against the wall and the problem was solved.
