Searched for the perfect storage bins and found them (Tan color is slightly more yellow than looks in site image)We wanted some storage cubes for our Kallax cubby shelf to store baby items out of sight but still have them handy. At first I was looking at woven, wicker type basket bins, but they have a tendency to start to have small pieces break off and would be hard to clean. We plan to use these bins frequently so needed something that would hold up. I finally found these Closet Maid bins in Tan, and love the slight texture on the front (see my closeup picture) instead of a solid color. They fit perfectly in the 13" cubbies and the open, rectangular handles make them easy to maneuver in and out. I also think the price is awesome, and very reasonable.
The one thing I want to point out is the color is slightly more "yellow" than it appears on the site, where I think it looks a little more peach. I was actually hoping for that, as it goes with our light colored hardwood floors better.
We have not used these bins with all the baby stuff in them yet, but they seem like they will hold up very well. Shipping was fast! Ordered Sunday morning and were at my door on Tuesday.
