Birch Storage Cabinet by ECR4Kids
ECR4Kids makes furniture for schools, so its toy storage cabinets are solid as anything and designed for practicality. This compact unit is perfect for crafty kids, Lego obsessives, or small-car racers. It can store (and most importantly, organize) everything in its 15 bins (not included) and stores artwork, sticker books, puzzles and board games in its 17 slots. It's not as beautiful as your midcentury furniture, but it is solid wood and more of a looker than most.

Scoop-Front Storage Bins, 10-Pack, by ECR4Kids
You can just use shoeboxes for the ECR4Kids birch storage cabinet if you like, but these clear bins allow kids to see everything they need and easily put everything away when they're done. Like the cabinet, they're on the more expensive side, but they'll last so long that they'll more than pay for themselves.

Kids' Toy Storage Organizer by Humble Crew
This all-in-one shelving unit, which measures roughly 2½ feet wide by 2½ feet high, has an array of 12 colorful bins. No, it's not the most attractive option, but the angle and portability of the bins mean that kids can find what they need easily — and don't need to dump out 100 things looking for it.

Austin Toy Box by KidKraft

Mid Century Toy Chest by Pottery Barn Kids
If you're faux-neat — the type that stuffs the mess in the closet and hides the disarray under the bed — this chest, which just looks like beautiful furniture, is for you.

The removable tabletop is reversible: One side has an illustrated scene that's great for trains and cars, and the other has a building surface for Legos (200 'Lego-compatible blocks' come with the table, too) . And the roomy storage area inside is perfect for storing Legos, cars, or other small toys, and can even be cleared out and used for sensory play.
