Back in
June I started building wooden toy bins to go in the Ikea storage unit. The
fabric bins we had went all the way to the top of the shelves, so you couldn’t
see the toys inside and there were no handles, so the little guy couldn’t get
them out. I build basic boxes out of pine, that were 2/3’s of the height of the
shelves, so you can see that the bin holds trucks or animals, etc.
It then
took me 2 months to do the finishing, 2 coats of stain and 3 clear coats. With
the handles he can easily pull them out and he is already getting more use out
of the toys now that he can see them
