Book storage

I recently came across a wooden(I think) crate for storing children's books, in either a toy or nursery catalogue. It was similar to the type you get in libraries.
The problem is I have so many catalogues I can't remember which one I saw it in and we've just moved house and I've know idea where the catalogues are anyway. I've spent about an hour googling with no luck

I need to find it soon so I can convince my kids' great granny that this is what she wants to buy them for Xmas (she refuses to buy toys/ books)

Thanks Mumsnetters for any help

is this it? It is Urchin.

Yes august24 it is. Thank you.
Now I've seen it again I REALLY want it. Unfortunately DH has unanimously decided that great gran can buy the children a toilet trainer seat. Not quite my idea (or the children's) of an xmas present

That is really nice. Anyone seen a cheaper version? Urchin are notoriously expensive and a plain wooden one would be just fine.

Didn't know I wanted one until now

We rescued some deep drawers from a wardrobe that was being chucked out. Stripped, sanded, and varnished them, inserted a divider half way along, and bingo - fantastic book storage! It really is a brilliant way to store these floppy picture books.

OK - I admit it - the above was a lie. My dad did all the above, not us But they look great, were very cheap, and do an excellent job.
