Just have to share some pics of this elfa system we just bought. At home, all the kids arts and crafts stuff, playdoh and crayons etc was getting out of hand. A year or so ago I saw lhafer post a few pics of this elfa storage unit and I knew I just had to have it someday. Was waiting for DD to get a little older (so she wouldn't go and pull everything out and make a mess, lol) and then for Container Store to have a sale. Well today I noticed all elfa was 30% off so i bought one.
We bought the wider version of this, and added casters and switched one of the deeper drawers to two thinner ones, and added two of those clear organizers on top

It was easy to assemble and wow, it is really nice. I thought it would be super expensive as it's elfa but it wasn't too bad at all...a little over $100 with all the accessories (organizers, casters, etc). And it holds a TON of stuff..it fit everything we had and more. we bought drawer stoppers so the kids couldn't pull out the shelves all the way.
I have attached pics...first is with it closed, the second with couple drawers opened. sorry for some reason they came out sideways :S Anyway, i know there have been a lot of threads on arts/craft storage so i figured i'd share. the kids seemed to really enjoy it. the top part is really cool as they can just toss crayons etc into it, so it's easier for them to clean up.
