My daughter is getting a huge book collection and currently I'm storing them in the wicker milk crates, but we are getting too many crates and it's becoming quite disorganized. I liked the look of the crates before there were so many of them, and now we're in need of a couple more. Does anyone have any inexpensive solutions that will look nice in her room or the living room?
TIA!

We store DDs books in her room in a wood storage box from Ikea.

Why not a bookshelf?

I like the cubicals shelving at Target - it has more vertical planks so there are fewer books to tip over and more vertical support.

Pottery Barn has nice book cases.

I guess it depends on your child's age, but my 3 yo has trouble getting the books on/off the shelf. Inevitably they all fall to the ground. So I am thinking about switching to bins as well... I really like the look of the PBK magazine rack things, but they are so pricey! And of course, they only hold a few books.

Yes, we have these and they work really well, for the same reason.

so with the target cubicle do you get the canvas cubes to go in them or just put books in them?

I actually had the canvas cubes when I was using it for my DD1's clothes. I decided to hang her clothes instead and use the cubicle for books without the canvas cubes, which works out great. You could use a few canvas cubes for toys though.
