This company had donated one of these book boxes for a competition earlier this year. Did anyone buy one? Just wondered what people thought about them.

I might look at ordering one of these, we are re organising our storage over easter and I want to condense down the books, that would make them much more accessible

Hi

I have one and have had it about 6 months now and love it - it is very strong and holds quite a few books

Hmmm.... I am wanting something that makes the board books accessible to very little ones, I have the fabric sling type book storage for paper books, I think I may just get a large low-sided wicker basket and put them in that. :thumbsup:

I use one, did a review on the main website and love it, still going strong after all this time.

You can buy them through the Forum Shop so if you do want one then please use this link.

Hi Pauline

I know every little helps to go to the forum but it actually works out cheaper to buy direct rather than using amazon...

how much does the forum get back on the £7 purchase price?

No they are much stronger as they are made from reinforced cardboard

I thought they were a couple of quid dearer on the site.

I don't want a supermarket cardboard box on my dining room unit, I'd be happy with this one. *snobbysmiley*

I've contact them to see if we can rectify that :thumbsup: We would only get 42p so not worth you spending more than you should :(

I've just been speaking to Frances and she will pay the forum 5% of any sales that: state in the 'message to seller' at paypal checkout that they are a referral from the childminding forum

Kats - Frances says if you email her at: info@bigbooklittlebookcardboardbox.co.uk with your address she will send you a new one as it should not have broken after 2 months so she will replace it. How's that for service! :thumbsup:

A magazine rack might work well for you too. You can get nice ones that go with your lounge.

I don't have a show home or anything near, but I have to say the cardboard box book holder looks like a cardboard box and that's all. I guess you could decorate it, but with my babies I think it would become a soggy mess very quickly.

That is the only thing I'm worried about really as my grandson is 8 months and chews everything in sight!! Lol. I have a playroom so plenty of space, think I need to go to dunelm and have a look at their baskets, I looked in homebase at the weekend but they had nothing suitable. :thumbsup:
