I need help

Sean and Ryan have broken 3 plastic tote bins in the last week. I use this bins for storage, toys, toys, books, dvds, etc.

What can I put things in safely?

Things that won't work, from past experience:

1. Wood/MDF/hard material toy boxes, even hinged hands get slammed, kids get sat on in it, etc.

2. Plastic bins, wrecked by the destructive duo

3. Canvas/Mesh collapsible travel totes (you know for cars), wires get bent, no longer stand up etc.

4. Wicker anything, do you really need a why

5. Cardboard, let the tearing apart begin!

You can see why I need help here. Leave you suggestions in the comments, PLEASE!

looking at it from a teacher's perspective...

what about cubbies that are bracketed to a wall? yes, you can't move them, but then you don't have the "tip over and fall factor"...or the "sit on the toy chest while brother's locked inside..."

i've seen teachers custom make theirs, or buy them ready-made to install

what do they have at their preschool that seems to work?
