Back when we didn’t have this toy organizer yet, it would always look like a hurricane ran over our living room after my son’s playtime. Now that we have this toy organizer, it’s no longer difficult to keep the room tidy. This Tot Tutors organizer is a must-buy. Let me tell you why in this review.
First Impression
Setup was a breeze. My husband took only about 15 minutes to have it standing. He used a Phillips screwdriver for it. I then set the 12 plastic storage bins on the stand. 4 bins are larger than the remaining 8 bins. This is great because kids normally have different-sized toys.
We got the organizer in Espresso/White, which looks very clean and modern. We decided against the colorful ones because we didn’t want our living room to look like a playroom. We wanted the stand to match with the rest of our furniture. It did as intended and I can’t be happier. I do like how Tot Tutors give buyers a lot of great color options. If you think your kids would love the colorful bins, you should get that for them.
Considering the design of the organizer, you can use it not just for toys but for other items as well. You can store craft supplies, tools, and other household items. I imagine it would be perfect in the garage or basement.
Material
This toy organizer has a wood stand with metal rails that hold the plastic bins. The stand is stable and won’t tip forward without any brute force. It is possible to topple it over if you pull it towards you. However, the stand is heavy enough that I don’t think a mere kid can do that. If you notice any wobbling, go check the screws and tighten them if needed.
On the other hand, the storage bins are made of heavy-duty plastic. So far, the bins have held up their shape well even when they’re filled with big toys.
Storage Space
Each bin can surprisingly hold a lot of toys. If your kid knows how to read already, you can group similar toys into one bin and then label the bins. This way, more time will be spent playing rather than searching for your kid’s toy.
I like how the plastic bins can be taken out of the stand and carried around. That can be handy when your kid doesn’t stay and play in one room only. You can even bring the bin outside.
The bins are tilted at a certain angle, which allows for easy accessibility and visibility. My son is five years old and he doesn’t have a hard time reaching for his toys. Smaller kids may need the help of an adult.
The organizer would work in smaller spaces too. I’m happy with how it doesn’t take up too much space in the living room.
Final Thoughts
This organizer is highly recommended for busy mothers who barely have the time to clean. This one uses plastic bins, which don’t require as much cleaning as cloth organizers. Less time would have to be spent tidying up the room after your kid’s playtime. My son actually loves helping me pick up his toys and return them back into the bins.
