We wanted some way of storing our kids toys so that they were neat, easily accessible and easy to sort out. I had always liked the look of the Trofast storage range but the size of the units is pretty small. So I decided to use a Pax wardrobe and line it with the plastic buckets instead. I wanted to put 10 buckets in it but due to the placement of door hinges I could only fit eight of them. I don't have lids on the buckets so that I can fit more in. I made some labels on my computer for the outside of the buckets."

I love this! Thanks for posting. I'm going to do this in my kids' bedroom! I can put arts+crafts stuff near the top (stuff I don't want them to get at without me), and then lego, dinky cars, etc, at the bottom. Thanks for the tip on the hinges.
