I have mine stored in the really large tubs. I also have used the large flat ones and slid them under beds. Mostly it's just a matter of organizing and storing it so that it's easily accessible and you know what's in each tub. No one else can really help you with that, it's just a matter of what you prefer. I've never had any problems with storing things in tubs other than I now have too many tubs to fit into my closets. LOL
