Playroom shelving ? (Ikea)

We were going to get expidit cubbies but do you find any others better? We will get the floor bins from target when they are bigger so they can take toys out themselves.

We have that piece. They sell bins that fit in the cubbies at Ikea too. It is very sturdy and we actually use the top of it as a changing table. (laying on its side)

We also have the Expedit (the largest one) and it hold SO much. We bought the bins from Target too and they fit just fine. Best purchase ever.

We have the Trofast line with the bins. Like it because the bins are in 3 different sizes.

We have this too and I love it! Having different sized bins helps stay organized plus they are easy to clean, i just wipe with a baby wipe.

Love the trofast for grouping items that are similar. We got some big bins and smaller bins depending what was getting stored inside.

I thought I saw other bins there to hold smaller stuff.

We ended up doing 2 of the 2/4 boxes to lay on the sides.

Maybe those were what I saw. The small bins. I can always add as they get older I guess.

Thanks

This sounds adorable! I wonder if I can do this with a sideways expedit.
