Available in a variety of animals, shoppers can also pick from something that best suits their child, including a giraffe, zebra and tiger. All options are sold individually, and each costs £7.

Shopper Reviews

Shoppers had mostly glowing reviews to share about these boxes, with one claiming online that these boxes (measuring 33cm x 33cm x 33cm) were "better than IKEA". Due to the size of the boxes, these would be compatible with one of the Swedish homeware store's best-selling storage units - the KALLAX.

Another said: "These boxes are absolutely beautiful, I really didn’t think the quality would be as nice as it turned out to be! They look absolutely fab in my son’s playroom. I am so happy with them!"

A third wrote: "This is great for my son's toys. It folds up easily, but what I really like is that when my toddler empties all his toys out and decides to play in the box instead. It holds its shape much better than the IKEA version. As it doesn't have a zip on the bottom, it feels sturdier and more durable - and also looks really cute in his room!"

Minor Complaints

A few people had complaints, and those who did only had minor issues. One put: "Unlike other boxes in this range, which were perfect and value for money, the zebra box arrived with black marks on, and the stripes felt frayed."

Another shopper felt that "the giraffe looks more like a cow". A third put: "Lovely boxes, but they are too big by an annoyingly small amount to fit in Dunelm's own children's bookcase, which has space for boxes."
