We really wanted modular storage that we could add to or reconfigure as the kids get older. Rather than make some, we bought cubes from an Oregon company called Via Toy Box.

They're birch ply, with all sorts of variations of doors and finishes, and they can be configured together in a variety of ways.

We opted for mostly natural, mostly doors, since we're using it for clothes, not toys. There's more info about the how to and our impressions at daddytypes.com.
