We use plastic beverage bins from Target. They are easy to clean, have no sharp edges and can stack when not in use or even if they are not all the way full. I am not sure if they are the right size for that paticular space, but they are also wonderful for dragging toys from inside out to the yard or porch.

I had a similar problem and found that baskets never really fit toys and that, quite honestly, I had to do some arranging to get them shoved in there appropriately. I found these to be great

I used crate and barrel baskets for smaller items (such as the little people collection we’ve amassed) but the skip hop collapsible toy catch alls have been great for larger items.

They also fit in the expedit shelves and slide easily in and out of the bottom shelves. We lined our bottom four shelves with them and used woven baskets on the upper shelves.

These have all been really good ideas. One other place to check might be Big Lots or Odd Lots and places like TJMaxx or Marshalls. They often have a lot of variety with reasonable prices.

Have you considered an african basket? You seem to love simple bold pattern:

Not only do they looks great but if you buy fair trade its also philanthropic!
Otherwise Target and Cost Plus World Market both have really excellent basket selections usually.
