Not as great of a price, but good quality. I think you can order online too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-cubebookshelf-organizer#post-2474826 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 15:03:45 +0000 SweetCaroline 2474826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: Those are beautiful! I like the first one, might be a solid choice for the family room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-cubebookshelf-organizer#post-2474823 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 15:02:05 +0000 SweetCaroline 2474823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: You're my hero! Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-cubebookshelf-organizer#post-2473944 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:29:22 +0000 Miss Sarah 2473944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love our IKEA one! But I just picked up a Threshold one from Target for $40 (no IKEA around here) and I like it as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-cubebookshelf-organizer#post-2473942 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:28:46 +0000 mediagirl 2473942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: we have that one! We also have the ones from Ikea. I can't tell the difference between the two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-cubebookshelf-organizer#post-2473936 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:26:56 +0000 MediaNaranja 2473936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: Full disclosure: I have not actually bought this yet, but my husband is a HUGE vinyl record collector and those cube organizer things fit the records perfectly. I have my eye on these from Wayfair--not too expensive, nice looking, and best of all--free shipping!! I bet the regular fabric bins or baskets you can get at Walmart or Target would fit fine in either one.</p> <p><a href="http://www.wayfair.com/Broward-Standard-Bookcase-SEHO2183-SEHO2183.html?piid%5B0%5D=15419232" rel="nofollow">http://www.wayfair.com/Broward-Standard-Bookcase-SEHO2183-SEHO2183.html?piid%5B0%5D=15419232</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.wayfair.com/Storage-Credenza-58.19-Bookcase-ANDO1898-ANDO1898.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wayfair.com/Storage-Credenza-58.19-Bookcase-ANDO1898-ANDO1898.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-cubebookshelf-organizer#post-2473935 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:26:46 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2473935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: I saw that exact cube on display at Walmart the other day. It looks great in person, but the material is a bit rough &amp; scratchy as compared to the smonth plastic-y feel of the Ikea one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-cubebookshelf-organizer#post-2473890 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:05:16 +0000 clover 2473890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We definitely like the Ikea Kallax. We have a 2x4 one used as a bookshelf in DS's room, two 2x4 ones as storage with bins in DD's room, and a huge 5x5 one in our playroom. With as much as I like them, I don't think I'd travel 5-6 hours for them. Giving the Walmart one a shot sounds much more appealing and it'll probably work just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-cubebookshelf-organizer#post-2473831 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 09:34:07 +0000 snowjewelz 2473831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While I have the Ikea one in DD's room, DH got something from like Target/Home Depot too, I think any of them will work as long as they meet your intended functions! There are so many choices nowadays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-cubebookshelf-organizer#post-2473633 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 07:48:50 +0000 SweetCaroline 2473633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: @T.H.O.U.: @Ash: @LCTBQE: @Ginabean3: @yin: @jape14: @autumnlove: @rattles: @Foodnerd81: Ah! You guys kill me!!! We live 5-6 hours from an IKEA.

And we have the white canvas bins in the white unit so I think it looks pretty decent in our living room. I've seen way cuter bins but we wanted 8 and didn't want to pay a ton. I think in a darker wood with nicer bins it could look totally non kid like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-cubebookshelf-organizer#post-2473523 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 22:06:50 +0000 autumnlove 2473523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IKEA Kallax! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-cubebookshelf-organizer#post-2473521 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 22:03:56 +0000 rattles 2473521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IKEA.

DD is 12 months old and her growing toy collection is officially out of control. I like the idea of a cube organizer with baskets, as she has a lot of "like" items I could group together (balls, dolls, etc.).</p> <p>This will be in our family room and living room, so I've been shying away from the typical canvas drawers and particleboard cube shelves. However, the Better Homes &amp; Gardens line at Wal-Mart surprisingly has a decent looking line of these.</p> <p>What do you use? Any suggestions?</p> <p><a href="http://www.walmart.com/collection/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Cube-Storage-Collection/47206706" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/collection/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Cube-Storage-Collection/47206706</a></p> <p>ETA: We also have a big toy basket that we will still use, for big toys, like her drum, Little People tractor/barn, etc. </p>
