The baskets can be same size or vary as per the requirement of toys your child has.

Prefer an angled shelf as it will be easy for the child to see before taking out the toys and they will not pull out everything in search of any one particular toy.

You can also label the boxes for the ease of segregation and use of kids.

A few big size ones come with tyres at one end so that the kids can roll them even when full throughout the room.

Ones it is full they can be stacked at a corner of the room. These are easily stackable over one another too.

Cube design:

for those parents who like to keep things symmetric. The boxes are all the same size in different color.

All can be stacked in a rack in an organized manner. They externally look very neat and tidy but can be a little difficult for the kids to use.
