Like any new parents we started becoming overhwlemed with the amount of toys our two kids started to amass after a few birthdays and Christmas', so at the time I just started throwing all of their toys into plastic bins in the corner. Those bins/totes don't look all that great and the little ones just end up grabbing whatever is up top. After searching online for a while I came across this bin setup and I'm pleasantly surprised.
The quality is just OK. There's glue all over the edges, the Formica they use along the edge is poorly glued on, and it's got a few dings and dents right out of the box. It's more cheap particle board kind of stuff. Anyone who feels confident around a shop or power tools would look at it while they're assuming and think to themselves "I could whip something similar up for cheaper on my own"..and you probly could.
But as far as convenience goes and usability, its a win! Definitely not worth $70+, but at the mid $60 it's just cheap enough to make a cluttered room go away.
It also looks like the kids feel that there's more variety and my 1 year old always finds something new to grab. I would buy again.
Love it!! Easy to put together and very happy that the bins are plastic instead of cloth!
Assembled in under 15 minutes using a power screwdriver, all you need is a phillips head. It's stable, the color is sleek and modern for living rooms, and the different bin sizes are great. I do wish it was deeper front to back though in order to hold larger toys, but the length is just right.
Love the unit! Matches our furniture well and love how big it is. Easy to put together! Dropped a star because we were missing a piece(I think maybe a screw) but it was to a decorative foot part and it didn’t really matter. I put labels on the bins so my toddler is able to easily access what she wants and puts her toys away so much better with the organization!
The before and after is quite amazing!
My son has a lot of toys and the whole throw them in the toy box and let him dig it out thing wasn’t working anymore. I found he lost a lot of interest in his toys because he didn’t want to dig them out of his toy box. Let’s be real no one is trying to do that every time they want to play with toys.
So this is an affordable solution to that! I picked his favorite toys and toys I wanted him to play with more and put them in here and put away the rest. I plan on rotating them so I don’t have a million toys everywhere and he gets to play with them all.
If you are wondering about product set up. It was very simple. Took 20 minutes to assemble the whole thing.
White and grey is beautiful by the way I wanted something to match the theme I was going for. Very satisfied with my purchase. My son loves it too. Now I just need to teach him how to put back.

Description
Tot Tutors supersized organizer is a sturdy organizer made of engineered wood, with metal Rods and 16 plastic bins. It is perfect for all YOUR storage needs - toys, arts and crafts, books, nursery, diapers, clothes, office supplies, bathroom, toiletries, garage, food, pantry, pet. It can go in playrooms, living rooms, bedrooms, garages, entryways, mudrooms, pantries, closets, or anywhere you need additional and practical storage.
This is a great storage solution for any kids room or playroom! It really helped me teach my son to be responsible for his own toy organization and get out one thing at a time as well! He is 5 and can easily take out the boxes from the shelves and place them back in. The only thing I have to say is that I required my husband’s help to set this shelf up. Oh my! I tried and tried and couldn’t get the pieces together on my own. But this is high quality materials, and doesn’t just snap together like something cheap would, so for that I didn’t mind needing help! I know this will last. I love the different colors it comes in. I opted for white and gray so I can maybe use it for crafting storage when my kid is all grown up and I don’t have to sort toys anymore. Definitely recommend.
The screws are self-tapping, and you have to force them through the pipe. That took longer than expected and I ended up hurting my finger when the screw slipped, BUT the construction of the shelves feel very sturdy. I'm happy with this! We can fit a lot of toys in here
This little storage rack is worth every penny! Putting it together took about a half hour. I do recommend investing in a screw gun (that’s what I used), as trying to put it together with just a plain old Phillips screw driver will probably end in frustration. It’s easy to move around even with the bins full and seems quite sturdy so far. I love the fact that I can keep everything in one place and it allows my son to actually see what toys he has. It also helps to teach pick-up/organization skills. I gave it 4/5 stars because nothing is perfect. The only issue I see is the paint was a little dinged up from travel and when putting it together you may booger the paint up a little too. It doesn’t bother me personally, but I’m sure it would be a complaint for some. Once the bins are on it, you can’t even see any imperfections. Overall, very satisfied with my purchase and would buy again.
This is a cute little toy storage however not many toys will fit. Toys today are being made bigger and bulkier. Also, this is not the sturdiest thing so if you have children who like to climb, you might want to look somewhere else. And if you are a parent who likes to keep things clean, these buckets get dirty fast. While it isnt difficult to clean, you will have to dump out or move the toys somewhere else and wash and dry the buckets. Now do it 16 more times. Every week. Because kids are messy and nasty at times.
Product looks great once assembled. There were a few flaws in the manufacturing of the side boards as you can see in the pics. These are the seems that go around the edge of the two end pieces if that makes sense.figured they would be able to smooth this out some how but it’s not terrible, just a cosmetic defect. There were also a few small scratches on the side boards as well but it does not impact the sturdiness or structure so that is fine. Overall I am happy with the purchase, minus the price paid.
