    Default Storage with baskets

    Can anyone tell me where to get the storage units that have baskets or plastic boxes in please. I only have a small living room and would like to keep all the toys in one area.

    the Trofast range from IKEA are brilliant, I have just added to my collection with the new wall units, have small blue trays and ideal for out of reach equipment like scissors, glue and paints and small pieces of construction like lego and collage materials

    As mentioned before on here the expedit also from ikea is great! we got the 8 box one (you can get 4 or bigger again!) and have it in the sitting room that is a dinning room at one side and we put it next to table, just looks like normal furniture but so far i have a stationary and a craft box with 6 ready for toys (going to a baby booty this week!!) so sure I'll fill them up!

    Thank you. I prefer the ones that blend in with rest of the furniture. Can you mix and match the units with the boxes?

    would someone mind letting me know the dimensions of the gaps for the expedit range? Just wondering if my boxes will fit!

    Thank you

    but if you are miles from ikea i use the argos 6 hole wooden unit with 6 large tubs in. If you have less space tip it on its end and find some smaller sized boxes from Wilkinsons maybe?

    I'm an expedit fan as well :-) i have two units of 4x2 and then have bolted (gotta love having a builder daddy!) another set of 2x2 on top of each so my units are floor to ceiling height in alcoves in the playroom. They have various different inserts in ikea - i went for two sets of drawers and then 6 of the fabric black boxes. I uploaded some pictures into the show us your setting thread xx
