    Looking for one of these...

    Not sure if I'm posting in the right section... I was wondering if anybody would know of where to buy a toy box... or chest, thats made from either cane or some sort of "non-jammable" material to save my sons fingers!! I've had a look around and can only find smallish boxes.. Ikea have one, but its still quite small... probably looking at at least 1m in length and quite deep to fit the neverending toy collection!! Thanks

    I got a wicker blanket box/washing basket from my local $2 shop. It's lined in funky pink stripey fabric too. They came in 4 sizes, I got the 2nd biggest which would be about the size you're after. I think mine was about $40 and the bigger one was around $50.

    I was going to suggest Clints/Sams/local cheap shop too for laundry hamper.

    We couldn't find any we liked so DS has got 3 of those mini sulo bins in bright colours. Even if the lids drops on his fingers it's no biggie as it's so light.

    me too!!
    ripped the fabric liner out after an hour cos DD gutted the "toy box" just to pull on it!

    it's a wicker-ish blanket box (which i would never store blankets in but is a perfect toy box for DD)
