    Need Some Durable Baskets

    I'd like to get a few nice baskets for my shelves. They need to be durable and natural (not a fan of plastic). Does anyone have a lead for me?

    I am always hitting up thrift stores and getting baskets. Thats what I put all my toys in. I find really good ones (older the better) because they seemed to be made stronger.

    Also, if they do get broke its not like I spent a fortune on them. My hubs call me the basket horder because I buy so many.

      I would check at a craft store like Hobby Lobby, Michaels etc..They have tons of baskets in all shapes/sizes. I always see coupons in the Sunday paper for these stores too!

          I got canvas baskets from amazon.



          Pretty cheap, and they have held up nicely.

            I also have the canvas ones, but when they get over loaded, the sides fold down......

            I use mine in the cubby box and have had them for over 5 years...

              I like the Ikea Drona boxes. They fold flat when not in use, are pretty durable (I've kid tested them but not daycare tested them) and at 13"x13"x15" they hold a ton of stuff. Best of all, they're only $4.99! I put sticky-backed business card holders on mine with a word and picture of what goes inside (my daughter liked to peel the holders off so you might need to reinforce the stickiness).
