Large Wooden Storage Box
 

I am looking for a large wooden storage box / chest to use for toys (and with the ammount these 2 have plus more at christmas it will need to be quite big) Ive looked through Argos etc but cant find anything that I think is suitable. Does anyone have any idea where I will be able to find something like this but not too expensive??

Thanks

IKEA | Children's ikea | Storing | Children's small storage

have you had a look at some of these there are some wooden ones, i dont mean the incredibly expensive one at the top of the page.....i know its not what you asked for as well but ive heard good things about the smaller trofasts


giz a shout if your planning a trip to ikea, i could do with a couple of things :D lol

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Childresn storage is no good, too small for what they have, already got kiddies storage bench etc but just not big enough, probably need something more along the lines of a bedding / blanket box or similar (and dont fancy going ikea, always have a car full of kids so dont think they would be overly impressed with a journey just to look at boring furniture lol)

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

theres a big bedding box in grandads shed if you wanna check that out?

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Why not get the plastic boxes with the lids on ... you could stack them up out of the way ...

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Tried that, they just end up pulling them all over lol

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Think the bedding box idea is the best way to go:)

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Tried pretty much everything else lol, plus some of their toys are stull quite big so dont always fit in the smaller boxes

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

The only problem I can think of though is will they be able to reach in for their toys?

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Better if they cant lol , would say so, these 2 find ways of reaching everything

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Just got a vision of two pairs of feet sticking out of top of the box:D

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

now theres and idea :rolleyes:

Emzy they seem to manage when they come here, as you know I have Spiders stuff in a bedding box
May be the way to go hun ... just a thought..

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

There only small though, I have one identical to that

But am looking for something like that only bigger lol

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Think it is something similar to a bedding box i want, just to make it look neater and easier to put away (especially when they want to help me lol)

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

I was left with no choice but the bedding box lol too much stuff.. Its great and you could always paint it up to suit...

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Exactly, need to have a good sort out but that'll happen after christmas now, not got chance to do it yet lol

Will find a cheap one soon enough, but no idea where to start looking

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Just been measuring up....mines bigger than the one i linked but i cant seem to find it on the website.It was £15 and you have to put it together yourself, maybe they only do the smaller ones now.



Perhaps it was planning for the credit crunch-

credit crunch=less money
less money=less toys
less toys=less storage needed


*unless you live at *Emzys*!!!!!!



Unless

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Mines the same as that, its only tiny really, my two can just about sit on it together, need something a lot bigger lol

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Ummmm how long you had it? Kids gro you know :p:D

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

"need something a lot bigger lol"

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Don't know about a Wooden Storage Box, seems you need a garage an the back of the house emzy:rolleyes:

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Lol! That reminds me of my twins when they were little. I had one of those large 50s style bedding boxes, and took the castors off it, chucked absolutely everything in it. They were regularly inside it. :D

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Bet they had more fun playing in the box than they did with the toys lol:D

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Yes, specially funny when they are chunnering away in there and didn't know I was listening! :D

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
 

Might end up with two then, 1 for toys and 1 for the boys lol
