Anyone found a decent storage solution for secondary school books/folders

[OurHouseAtTheEndOfOurStreet]

Just before term starts I need to buy a piece of storage furniture for dc's (2 x secondary school age) books /folders in an effort to avoid them being strewn all over the floor in the playroom/study.

It needs to be big enough for A4 folders/text books and strong enough to hold a reasonable weight. If possible it should look nice and not cost £10000000.

Any ideas?

Ikea cubes?

Ikea kallax

Mine just used plastic crate boxes. Everything dumped, but in the right place! It suited the teenage mind set, was cheap, but was also tidy and they knew where everything was!

Here each subject goes in a separate folder which then go in a top-opening cardboard box if not needed the next day and they sit on an Ikea bookcase.

Bookcase also has the printer, all spare printer stuff and printer paper, a box with spare stationary in, plastic for covering those books that need it, any text books / revision books we have, musical instruments (trumpet and ukele and bits / spares / music for those) cables etc....
Basically everything to do with school is on it and if it isn't we don't have it.

Works really well.

Another vote for Ikea Kallax.

My two have wooden magazine files from Ikea, on an Ekby Jarpen shelf each magazine file is labelled with a day, then there is one for dictionaries, one for scrap paper and one for stuff to keep.

They empty their bag every night, file the books into the day they have that subject next, do their homework, then repack their bag for the next day.

They are both boys, I check that they do it so they can't let it slide. They have a printed list of what is expected of them. They follow it or they don't get tech. Simple.

I read this thread to my DC (16 And 13). They did this face hmm and said they carry all their books in their bag all the time. DD occasionally uses her locker. DS lost his key 3 years ago. So, there you go. V cheap indeed.

DD says her locker is just about big enough to hold two water bottles... so that's not going to work in our house! I was thinking of magazine files on a bookcase...

Lol! My two are more like TheFallenMadonna's - I wish our house ran more like Yomellamohelly's
