Do The Container Place boxes fit the Costco Expedit?

[happymom]

I am trying to reorganize our playroom (once again!) and thinking that maybe it's time to just buy those sweater boxes and maybe a few of the multipurpose containers that are on sale...I know it's been mentioned that both fit the Ikea Expedit well, but I was wondering if anyone has tried them in the Costco Expedit?

Thanks so much.

Bumping this up...anyone know?

I tried searching the Costco site for something like the expedit, but couldn't find it. Do you have a link?

In the thread in the Bargain Forum, there is a picture of 2 large multipurpose bins fitting nicely in one of the Ikea Expedit cube spaces. You could compare that to the opening sizes in the Costco one. I believe the Ikea Expedit spaces are 12x12.

the IKEA Expedit cubes are 13hx 13wx 15 deep. They are actually just 1/8 of inch over each of those measurements, but that's too hard to type. Another bin that fits in the IKEA cubes are Sterilite Ultra bins, link below. They are cheap ($5 a bin) and fit great. The lower height makes it easy to drop items in without pulling the bin out, and the extra depth is no problem because the Expedit usually sit a little away from the wall due to the baseboard. The Sterilite baskets can be spraypainted with Krylon Fusion Spraypaint for Plastic. Krylon Fusion comes in about a dozen colors, although most are only available online.

We decided to go with the Costco version (2x8cubbies) because it came with ivory canvas bins. The cubbies are 13x13x15. the bins are 12x12x15. They are holding up well, so far, to DS's rough removal...
