Sure, you can get basic plastic storage bins that will fit under your bed. But what are your other choices? Let’s look at some, in order of height. The cardboard box above is only 5″ tall, and it’s inexpensive.
This under-bed storage box from Crate & Barrel is made from cotton, combined with polyester made from recycled plastic bottles. It’s 6.3″ tall.
Caraselle provides this under-bed storage box; it’s 17 cm (6.7″) tall.
And then there are the canvas boxes from PB Teen, in a range of sizes and colors (stereotyped as for girls and guys). The under-bed box is 7″ tall.
The wonderful John Trosko of OrganizingLA made me aware of these under-bed storage boxes – 7″ tall without the casters, 9″ tall with them.
Here’s the expensive one of the bunch: an under-bed leather storage trunk, 24 cm tall (9.45″), from The Holding Company. The same company has underbed boxes for much less money.
Lombok has two different under-bed storage baskets; both this one and the other one are 24.5 cm (9.65″)tall.
These open-top solid wood under-bed storage boxes can be customized; the word “toys” can be replaced with a child’s name (or, I imagine, anything else you wish, as space allows).
