Has anyone else found that their Ikea storage boxes are now looking a bit worse for wear.

Anyone got any other ideas for boxes as these are now looking really shabby

Some of mine are. At £2.50 each it's not too bad though. Some of mine have the doors on too

Yeah some of mine got like that. I now always have a couple of spares to change to should it happen. It keeps the lo's on their toes because i change the colours and have every one that is available except pink :-)

love the idea of hanging storage from ceiling - it really must free up the floor space! :laughing:

OK, so I'm half asleep still this morning, but I've been looking at your photo wondering how on earth you manage to get your storage boxes on the ceiling :ROFL1:

The funny thing is, it would actually be a really good idea if the units could be attached to the ceiling, although you'd obviously need to put the drawers in the other way up! The only problem is you'd need to be 10ft tall to get anything out of them!

Absolutely genius idea! Would mean only "big people" can get the toys out and therefore they'd only be able to play with what is out rather than emptying every box!!! :D woohoo!
Now to speak nicely to my hubby and dad to see which one fancies climbing the ladder to put em up! ;D
