Review on 🧸 ECR4Kids 4-Tier Toy Storage Organizer, Blue with 12 Assorted Color Bins - Enhance Your Kids' Playroom Organization by Dana Schmidt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

More than I expected!

I'm sick of our 2 year old son throwing ALL his toys out of his toy box to find the toys at the bottom so I decided to see what I could find with the organizers. I knew I wanted something like this because a friend had one years ago. I looked at the wooden ones and just felt like they wouldn't hold up (with crayons, stickers etc) and if it falls on our son it will probably do some damage. So I looked at the plastic ones. I found the Step 2 for about the same price as the wooden ones, but when I read how big or should I say small the containers really didn't make sense to even try this one. I saw this one when I searched, but I just missed the price. Then my husband came here and found it again, so I decided to take a closer look. It's all plastic and has metal bars to sit on. Also, the bins looked bigger and thicker than others I looked at (the wooden bins). I wanted to know the size of the containers so I went to their website and they are literally double the size of step 2. Also after reading that the company made their stuff for SCHOOLS; how could I be wrong?! Did I like the price? No, but you pay for what you get, as the saying goes, so we decided to give it a try. About a week later the box arrived and I couldn't wait for my husband to help assemble it (2 people recommended). ). I was able to assemble it myself, with step 1 (mounting the bars on one side) being the only tricky part. The metal rods are 3/4 plastic coated and were attached to the sides with these plastic hex sockets (they give you a tool for this) which were easy to insert by pressing down on the metal rods. up to the lid. You have to be careful if you overtighten them as they will "pop" and come loose (twisting, popping off the threads or similar). I decided that the hole for the metal grilles should face the ground as the instructions don't say it and that seemed like the best choice. Once step 1 is done, repeat step 2 and then mount the small feet on the bottom (each foot has 2 washers and screws that you need a cruciform for). Here it is! Took me about 15-20 minutes. So if you follow the recommendation for 2 people, you should be done in about 10! lol I'm so glad I got the 4 tier because of the large containers it comes with and its height. Our son is 34" and has no problem getting things from the top row (he's basically the same height as the product itself). I'm not sure I would be as happy with this product if I only got level 3 because I only get smaller containers and my son is already taller than him. The ONLY issue I have with it is that it is so light our son can pull it out of the wall and onto our rug. It hasn't fallen over yet but our son hasn't tried it (although it would be easy to tie it to the wall if needed) and our son would have to hold on to the top bar and lean back for it to lean. Autumn. It's another thing that you can't put larger things in the bottom baskets (on top of the baskets) since you can't easily remove toys or baskets, but it's mostly common sense, so yeah. My husband and I will most likely be second to our son's room (this will be attached as there will be no constant supervision). I also posted photos.
