The mere idea of toy storage often occurs to us in hindsight. One day you’re trying to find a place to step that doesn’t squeak, and the next you’re wading through a sea of plushies matted with your dog’s dried drool. But we live with it. Because we’re dog people, and that’s what we do.
But there is hope, friends. And it looks like one of the awesomely practical toy bins below.
If there’s anything better for a modern home than two-tone gray decor—oh wait, there isn’t, because gray goes great with everything. The best part about this ingenious basket made FOR dogs by dog people is the nifty side panels. They fold down so pups don’t knock the whole dang thing over trying to reach a toy, thus redecorating your home with all their plush victims.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
– Sides fold down for dogs’ easy reach
– Handles for easy transport
– Gray felt suits any style
