via toy boxes

we looked FOREVER to find bookshelves for cole's room. and i mean forever. everything was either ugly, ridiculously expensive, or weighed ten thousand pounds and would come crashing down on our tiny baby boy's head.

via toy boxes fit all our requirements. low enough not to topple over and smush baby? check. reasonably priced? check. well-made? check. most importantly..... cute? double check.

you can mix n' match the box fronts and arrange them to suit your style, with 4 different shapes and 12 different colors to choose from. you can set up the boxes as a bookshelf, table, nightstand, storage unit, even as part of a bed. the possibilities are endless!

the photo here really doesn't do via toy box justice - in person, the colors pop and we never fail to get compliments on the boxes. they can store everything from books (when you add the bookshelf option) to ten million stuffed dachshunds to puzzles to blocks to any number of toys your child doesn't need. they've also proven sturdy enough for cruising tots to pull themselves up on and reach in.

via toy box even does custom colors, so if you really want to create storage that matches your child's eye color, you can! and i won't judge you... much.
