We would like to find some cheap storage for our children, for toys and so on, as are old plasticy type stuff is falling apart? Any suggestions for storage which is practical, affordable and nice? We also are looking for a wardrobe if anyone has any great suggestions?

Ikea Expedit is good. Loads of different sizes and you can personalise them with lots of different tubs.

I got some cubes from Argos and some colourful canvas boxes (3 for £10) from there too.

i like expedit argos do similar but for non stacking i like the big tubs with the handles, can't think what they're called - flexi tubs? £4 in supermarket, loads of colours they also make good plant pots.
my nephew used to use them for plastering, i got fed up after all our plastic boxes started breaking and leaving sharp edges but these are really strong.

We have the 8 boxed ikea expedit n it's fab. Have it long ways on its side so kids can access their own toys.

We've got Ikea Expedit as well. We also have underbed boxes from Ikea. Argos do a similar version.

And various sizes of these argos ottomans around the house, very good storage and also good for extra seating, can easily hold an adults weight.
