storage solution for toys?
What do you guys do? My 3 year old has a crap load of toys. I have gotten rid of some, and still, there is a lot. I am looking for something to make the room look more organized. I am looking for a large, reasonably priced toy chest or something. I also don't want something that will break or fall apart soon after buying. As of right now, he has this. Thanks in advance!
ETA: He also has two large bins of toys as well

Re: storage solution for toys?
We have this (because it was in the closet from college days)
And we got these
Right now we have 6 bins. 3 blue and 3 red. (we will get 3 for baby #3 when we know a color)
Each bin is a different set of toys
Blocks
legos
cars
books
bowling
Other (stuffies, balls, anything else)
This has worked great for my twins and they will help me clean up and they put things in the right bins.
In DD's room I have this toy box from Target (which also comes in a boy version which isn't out of stock right now). I like it because it was super cheap ($20), it holds a bunch of stuff, and it's collapsable so if I ever get sick of it, it'll be easy to collapse and store out of the way.
I also have a bunch of those canvas bins that you can buy anywhere (the kind with a metal frame covered with canvas). The furniture in our living room is big enough to fit these inside -- I have one in each end table, and our coffee table fits four of them (and has doors that close so you can't see them!)
I still have a few baskets of toys in the living room, but having those bins put away takes care of a lot of the clutter!!
