Silanto Collapsible Grey Storage Bins for Nursery Organizer (12.2 x 8.3 x 5.1in)
Silanto's grey collapsible storage bins are sized 12.2 x 8.3 x 5.1in for nursery shelf and drawer organizing.
mDesign Soft Fabric Nursery/Playroom Closet Storage Organizer Bin 4 Pack - Gray
mDesign's gray soft fabric nursery and playroom closet storage organizer bins come as a 4 pack.
Bins for a nursery shelf are bought to fit an opening, so the measuring comes first and the style comes last. Take the width, depth and height of the cubby or shelf gap, subtract about half an inch for clearance, then compare that against stated dimensions rather than a label reading small or medium. The common fabric cube in this category runs near 12.2 by 8.3 by 5.1 inches, which slots into a shallow shelf but is too short to fill a standard cube unit. Depth is the number people get wrong, because a bin an inch too deep will never sit flush and one much shallower wastes everything behind it. Then choose between two constructions. Collapsible fabric bins fold away when not in use and are light enough for a child to pull down without hurting themselves, but they slump when half filled unless the sides are reinforced. Rigid plastic bins on a tiered metal rack hold their shape and let you see what is inside, and the tiered rack is worth considering if you have floor space rather than shelving. Handles on the front face matter more than they sound, since a bin on a high shelf has to be pulled out by something. Labels start earning their keep past about six identical bins. Animal faces and prints are purely decorative.
