Need tasteful toy storage for the living room

We're slowly being overwhemed with toys in the living room which have previously been thrown into a big storage box. But it drives me mad when toys just sink to the bottom and then don't get seen for months. I need to compartmentalise - or just have some control over where things get to. BUT my DH doesn't want it to look like kids furniture. Ideally I need something like this but in plain coloured (preferrably dark) wood. Any ideas?

I commissioned my living room furniture- a large bedding box (for toys) and a tv stand with ample storage for hidden dvd's, wii, dvd player etc. Rounded edges and sturdy solid wood. It cost £500 for the 2 items including local delivery.

I got them from loonylin (Northwich Cheshire)

Why not go for Ikea's Trofast range? Here's an example - you can stain it whichever colour you want. If you're unable to get to Ikea itself, you can check to see if they deliver to you. If not, there are a number of companies that will pick up and deliver Ikea furniture for you (no specific ones spring to mind, just google "Ikea delivery [plus your local area]" and see what comes up).

Thanks both. Have decided to go for the Ikea EXPEDIT and some boxes and drawers that fit in.
