I think it's nice!

And agree with cherrybee! But if you just have light stuff in them that's ok to fal on his head, should be fine! Lol

I don't think silver is too feminine. It's a neutral in my mind. Cube shelves are awesome and will grow well with your kid. I wish I had more everywhere in my house!

@lamariniere: That's a really good point! I have a graveyard under my sofa, in which half of the cast of Peppa Pig are currently buried.

@aprild: I agree. Metallics in general seem feminine to me. I wouldn't use them for my boys.

Here are some of the bins--all of these were in our store and look nicer in person. We have the gray patterned ones in a white storage bin. The bins are a great size and hold tons of toys. We use 3 shelves for books and puzzles and 3 shelves for storing Megablox, Magnatiles, Duplos, and Art Supplies.

oh and here are the little metal feet. I actually wanted the feet because we have a few odd size giant puzzles that we keep in the (big) boxes and they don't fit anywhere, so I slide them under the storage unit to keep them out of the way. Other toys do get under there a lot, but my toddler just reaches under and gets them out, haha. http://www.target.com/p/2-pack-metal-feet-for-cube-organizers-threshold/-/A-50253345

I don't think they look feminine. To me, they are definitely neutral, and could be used for a girl's or boy's room. We end up with toys under our couch, too. Whenever I fish them out DS gets really excited about them. But if they were left out, he'd get bored with them. It's part of our unintentional toy rotation!

I love bins, and I love the IKEA system too. I have it in my dressing room and I wouldn't hesitate to put it in my son's room as a changing table. I prefer bins to drawers, because when you need to keep a hand on the baby, it's easier to reach into a bin then open a drawer!

We have those shelves in both kids rooms. We just added them to LO2's room because we loved the way they've worked and grown with LO1. I don't think the silver is feminine in general, but I do think that particular nursery reads feminine with pink being the only punch of color. I think silver would look plenty masculine if it was mixed in with industrial touches (spaceships, trucks, etc). Nobody thinks chrome is feminine!

(FWIW, I don't personally worry about gendered decor concerns for kids. It's a neutral in a boy's room, so obviously it's for boys.)

Make sure the height of the cubes is ok for a changing table. DH and I are 5'7 and 5'10 and having a slightly too short changing table was KILLING our backs. We were using the changing table on our PnP and it was really painful. After a couple weeks I had to order something taller because we couldn't take it.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: how do you add the legs and where did you find them?

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that's so cute! I hope you don't mind if I use your ideas.

It looks feminine to me. We have boring white bins!
