My husband and I are looking to get a couple frames/sliding drawers from IKEA to help organize the baby's closet. We don't have a linen closet for the second bathroom, so the bins will hold towels, washcloths, extra blankets, etc. I can't decide whether to get the Anotnius set with solid white plastic bins that I can label, or the Algot set with wire mesh bins. I feel like even if everything is folded neatly, it may look cluttered being able to see through everything...or will it make it easy to see what I have? The plastic bins have optional lids to go with it, so I can always stack them later. They also might be easier to clean. Any experience with either set or something similar? Thanks in advance!!
I would buy the solid ones. I have never liked the metal mesh stuff. The soild ones are more versatile too, if you end up using them later for something with small parts or pieces.
We have some of the Algot baskets & pull out rails mounted to our laundry room wall to use as a laundry sorting system. They're OK, but I wouldn't recommend them if you'd be sliding them out frequently, as they come off the rails pretty easily. The way I use them, I don't slide them out often, and when I do, I'm usually removing the whole basket, so it's NBD for my use. If you want to use it as more of a drawer though, it might not be the best choice.
Thanks, ladies!! We're going to take a trip to IKEA to see them in person and decide there. I know baby won't care either way, but at least I'll feel better about having everything organized.
