    I like the 3rd one only because I can see my kids climbing on the other ones.

    I like the first one, or maybe the last one, but not the middle one.

    We have the first one and LOVE it!  If we had the space for it I'd love the 3rd one.

    I like the 3rd one. Ditto on my kids thinking the stepped ones are a ladder.

    we have the stepped ones and my kids don't climb on them, but I know that's not the case for others=)

    Just a tip: those white ones have plastic sliders that the bins slide into.  They just get pressed into the sides with some screws, but the sliders are always coming off from the holes they get pressed into.  I hate them.  We ended up getting these:

    They just have grooves the bins slidei into, much better!

    I like the 3rd one, but probably only because I  need things symmetrical or I go crazy.

    DITTO!  The first two seriously made me cringe --- then the 3rd one....ah, breath of fresh air!  OCD much!?  ;)

    But for #3, I would not do (if possible) the two smaller bins along the top.  I would just use all the same size bins (the bottom ones) in all three rows.  Those top bins aren't going to hold anything sizeable!

    The small bins are actually very useful for little things like plastic animals.

    I have the wood ones with bins in all sizes and it is awesome.
