Good quality toy box

I have an autistic child who is constantly breaking furniture. It isn’t intentional as he’s just also got a learning disability so in our house he is comfortable and runs and jumps on furniture. It’s really one of the few things he enjoys in life and it relaxes him. Unfortunately as he gets larger and it seems the quality of furniture is not as good anymore a lot gets broken. We just got ikea bench storage toy boxes and one has cracked right through. I thought as they carry quite a bit of weight it would be fine. Does anyone know anything stronger or can you reinforce these sorts of things? He is 6 at the moment and would like to get something that may last longer than a couple of months.

Hi OP, I have a few things from the Great Little Trading Company both new and second hand from Facebook marketplace and they seem much sturdier than our Ikea bits. Otherwise your suggestion about reinforcing sounds sensible and I'm sure you can, there are so many hacks online, for a toy box can you affix a much heavier / solid piece of wood on the top / sides?
