Guys tell me to get over it and pay $110 for 6 storage cubes

[ginger]

Just tell me to do it.

BUT OMG.....

"We're" (because LOL, Dave's doing all the work. I'm just picking out the decor) moving M to the bigger bedroom and Dave built this beautiful closest system thingy with the thought we would put storage cubes in the squares.

Too bad all the awesome ones are too big. Too bad all the ones that fit are either cheap canvas or $17+ each. WEEEEEEEE.



I actually already bought these, but turned out they were backordered indefinitely so I just canceled. Now that I look at the closet again (even the crappy cell phone picture), I'm not so sure I want pink...



Maybe teal/turquoise if it even exists in the sturdiness we need? 

This is her bedding!!

Where did you find these?

IKEA has some in pink and turquoise

The closest IKEA is in Atalanta. We may need to just take a road trip.

A lot of stores have them, but they are so expensive after tax. I'm having a hard time playing $18 each. I'm also a little nervous since we need so many they're actually backordered indefinitely everywhere. It's JJ Cole Pink Stripe 11" Cube.

I'm trying to buy online, but I wonder if I'll have better luck in-store. I'm just thinking most stores won't keep the quantity I need. This is what you get for being handy y'all.

I like that bedding.

But I can't lie -- I am sort of tense about $110 for cubes.  LOL.

[Marle]

Hmm did you try target? I've seen some there too.

By the way that closet looks great!

[snickers]

Wal mart has them for like $7, but I think they are canvas. BRU has some too I think, but they are probably a fortune to purchase there too.

I got some red ones from Target a couple of weeks ago for $7 each. They may not be highest end, quality wise, but they're a great color and sufficient for storing office detritus in.

This one is $10 and I wish I had an office full of them:

What is wrong with canvas? There are two packs for $15 on amazon. I have pink ones for our built in and they work just fine.

You see... WAIT> OMG I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD POST AND TELL ME TO GET OVER IT!

But I see you have the same hang up.

Okay, you see...my daughter is OCD. She will be taking these things down, taking everything out, rearranging everything, and then putting them back over, and over again. She can't help herself. This kind of thing is fun for her......(Poor sweet OCD Kiddo). (Also, don't break her banana, Gold Fish Crackers should be made into a rectangle, and stacking blocks obviously only go with like-colors).

So, I'm not so sure the canvas will hold up. Then, by that point, I might as well have just bought the more expensive ones. Were they pretty thick canvas? So far I haven't found a canvas one on Amazon with good reviews.

Stupid GBCN ate my post.


We have these:
www.amazon.com/ClosetMaid-Closet-Fabric-Drawer-Pink/dp/B002IT5YAM/ref=pd_sim_hg_3

They are awesome and $6 each. Finley drags them out at least once a day and they are filled with toys. They work great.

THANK YOU! I've looked at these a lot, but some of the reviews on other ones aren't great. But Sometimes, people are really stupid.

Don't spend $110.

Canvas will hold up just fine!

[juliagoulia]

We have cheap off white canvas ones I got off amazon and my kid rips them out, dumps the toys, walks all over the bins, etc, and the have held up for a year. There is no signs of wear. Do not spend $110!
