Do you stack the boxes or are they lined up on floor? Seems like they wouldn't hold a ton, but I love the price![/quote]

They are stacked up when empty, and when filled, they line the wall under the windows.  My kids are young (2 year old twins) so they fill several key elements.  When it is clean up time (we make them clean before going to bed, so just before nap and just before bedtime) each toddler can take a bin and walk around and put toys in the bin.  They are small enough that the kids can carry it around and it won't get too heavy for them to carry back to the wall.  They also love to turn them over and use them for stools.  They like to dump toys out so that they can see what they are playing with and the small size means that they can't dump too much out at one time (unless they dump out multiple bins, which they've been known to do).  We can also sort a few toys out to carry to a room other than the playroom and not have too many toys out.  Plus when they are done in that room, everything goes back into the bin to return to the playroom.  Lots of pros for young children.[/quote]

Oh, in response to your comment about them not holding a ton, we also have a pair of Ikea Pax wardrobes with wire basket shelves. Most toys are in there.  We cycle the toys that they have to play with so that they can't make too much of a mess and also that the toys seem fresh and new when they get cycled back into use.  Toys that are getting stale or that they have lost interest in go back into the Pax and many of them are interesting again when they next come out.
