If you've got a bit to spend then I would recommend looking in GLT (great little trading company) online. They have some gorgeous storage solutions but they are pricey. Do nice bookshelves too. I would love to get some from there but can't afford :(

I have a cubed shelf system from Ikea (can't remember what it's called now) but you can buy doors & doors to fit on/in the cube. However, I purchased some folding baskets also from Ikea - they were £10 each but they are really good and hold quite a lot in each one. These then slide into the unit and when you are not working (and have to have stuff in your living areas) it looks really smart. The unit comes in beech or dark wood and they have them on sale at the moment as I am angling for some more. You can also stack them.

Thanks for your replies I will have to have a look in Ikea but what with working doing the EYFS after work and doing my NVQ 3 time is short. I had been looking in NES Arnold and places like that cos I wanted storage similar to nursery and school but it is so expensive isnt it. Thanks again. :laughing:

I've got some of the Trofast units from Ikea

Don't think you can beat Ikea for value for money
