Go to Argos and type in Storage - loads of options come up. Some with the boxes.

There are a couple of options on here, the seagrass basket one for £30 or one that holds coloured crates for the kids but that's £80. I'm sure I've seen them in Ikea too but can't find it on the website.0 -
Wilko's is also good for storage. I bought some plastic storage units that have plastic drawers that come all the way out that have lasted for three years and have been brilliant. think they cost me a tenner each for four drawers. Worth a look anyway. Don't go too expensive as kids are heavy on them!0

Could you copy it? B&Q will cut MDF sheets to whatever size you want and it's not difficult to screw then together. I was going to buy an Ikea Pax wardrobe for coat storage in our hallway, but theirs was a bit too wide. I got the tape measure out and copied their design to my own dimemsions. My OH has very basic DIY skills but managed to asemble it. It looks quite professional even if I say so myself and was a fraction of the cost.:DI have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.

Argos do that type of storage...
in fact how about this shelving set with seagrass baskets? £29.99 with 3 free baskets.
(edit)
Sorry, didn't notice this link had already been posted.
Have just realised though - 3 baskets are free with the uni, and the baskets are also £14.99 for 3, BOGOF. Which means the unit plus 9 baskets comes to £44.98, not too bad i thought0 -
I agree Scaredycat, but it's fun asking Anna stupid questions like "what did you have for breakfast this morning". Lol, I'm such a child!!0

lightisfading thanks for working all that out - i did like it sounds good
cazzdevil - i will be doing that!!
i like the idea of dh making one - but chances are slim due to busy job0 -
I got most of mine from Ikea and Wilkinsons. Few came from charity shop. I bought a wooden shelving rack which I think was about £10 in B&Q for my sons room and added my own boxes which I paid about £1 for from Tescos, Ikea etcOne day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -

We have the Trofast storage on the left hand side of the piccie that looks like steps. We have one in my son's bedroom and one under the stairs in the hall. They are brilliant. They are really sturdy pine so will last forever.:hello:0
