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

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

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box

Re: Large Wooden Storage Box
The only problem I can think of though is will they be able to reach in for their toys?
