I used these for a client and the results were amazing. If I were doing it in my own home I would save a couple bucks and head to Home Depot and get a plain ole' galvanized can and use fun vinyl (cut with my Cameo or purchased from etsy) to give it a more polished look.

Its difficult to offer suggestions without knowing what type of toys your children play with. If the 5 year old is a boy and plays with legos I would have different suggestions. The main thing is ensuring everything has a home and rotating the toys from the different play areas for optimal use.

Also Pottery Barn kids  has their Carolina grow with me play table on sale.

Someone paid you to buy overpriced ugly trash cans.  Those do not look safe for a two year old. [/quote]

I make suggestions to clients about the aesthetics and utility of a particular storage choice and they go from there. This particular mom wanted her informal living and dining area to have a kid friendly but "toys hidden" feel. If a lid or door couldn't be closed to hide the toys the storage piece wouldn't work for her. I agree they are just cute (subjective) garbage pails which is why I suggested the Home Depot option. I don't think they are unsafe but the issue of the toys on the bottom never making its way up to the top to be used might make something else a better choice. O.P. PBK's Cameron storage is also on sale but try craigslist first. I've found several pieces there. Also the PB floor models go on sale around the holiday season so you may have luck then. [/quote]
