We don't have an Expedit, and, though we might someday get one, I'm looking to use some storage bins NOW! I've got a built in wooden bookshelf in my office, which has become overflow toy storage central. Each of the sections of bookshelf are 27.5" long and only 12" deep. I want bins to hold things like Legos, marble run pieces, bristle blocks, 40 million hot wheels, 40 million action figures, 40 million plastic animals-- you get the picture.
These Land of Nod boxes look pretty perfect, but I don't like that they're colored. My office is accented with navy blue and deep red, so these colors really don't go. The sizes, however, are very good, I think. I'm a little concerned that they'd be too small. I wish they went higher, and they seem pricey to me.

I don't care how high the boxes go, but I'd love to have ones that are not more than 13.5" wide or deep. That way I could fit two per shelf, and they'd only hang over by a bit.
I've searched and searched. Can you help me? I'm a bit reluctant to use fabric/cardboard bins, (we have some Circo ones) because my kids are very hard on them, and the ones we have for books are pretty worn and have buckled. I'm also hoping for CHEAP! I don't ask much, right?
