Does anyone have anything like this and if you do, where did you get it? I'm trying to get one but the sizes of the units and the boxes vary so much. The pictures can be deceiving.

I don't have something like that but I have the Ikea Trofast system http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/ca.../series/19027/
Not exactly what you're looking at but I like it because of the flexibility of the different size bins. I can rotate out my toys and change the bin sizes to fit the materials that I need. The bins aren't clear though. I have the white frosted ones and they aren't see-through at all so I bought some stick on label sleevs from Lakeshore and will make labels soon.
Ikea does have regular cube cubbies too but their cubby sizes are bigger than the average cubby cube. I bought a few to make a crafting table. Other than that Ikea doesn't have anything else similar to what you are looking for.

I have that for my kids stuff. I have two of the staircase type ones, they fit perfectly side by side in my closet so it's kind of like a pyramid in the center behind sliding doors.
I just did the labels with card stock and sharpi and had my son color them so he was involved. Glued them with hot glue.
We have play doh, art supplies, baby toys (2x), trains, cups, balls, dinosaurs, disney toys, and figurines (I think that's all).
For the most part, stuff gets put back where it goes. My 1 year old is outgrowing a lot of his stuff, so I definitely need to go through the toys and organize again (it's inevitable). I've had this for over a year and some of the tracks are starting to break where the drawers slide in. I'm sure it can be fixed, just wanted to point it out.
I don't post on a lot of forums, so I hope my picture worked.

I do have one. It's the ikea one but I got it on craigslist for about half. I like this one http://amzn.to/2jxVw4E. It comes in a few different colors and looks like the cubbies are about like what I have.

I'm looking at this, but it doesn't say what size the boxes are.
Towards the bottom it has the boxes. Am I supposed to go by color to determine size?

I like that I can keep the toys in the bins and get the lids to stack them. When I switch the bins out I can take the whole bin out and stack it with the others in the garage and just pull out the bin I want and put that one right in. I'm planning on getting a couple of the lower ones too and getting some of the regular flat shelves for it to sort out the large unit blocks. Right now they are all just dumped in a large plastic bin.
It's hard to see but I also added a photo of the labels that I got. I stuck them on but I haven't made labels. I plan on taking photos of what's inside of the bins and adding labels then printing them out on photo paper and cutting them down to fit in the sleeves.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/ca...ns_ikea/18706/
Length 7 ¾ ", Width: 11 ¾ ", Height: 4 (small and skinny) in white, green and yellow
Length: 16 1/2 ", Width: 11 3/4 ", Height: 9 " (medium) in pink and orange (I have some in white but I don't know why they're not pictured on the website)
Length: 16 ½ ", Width: 11 ¾ ", Height: 14 ¼ " (large and deep) in white
I decided to get all white bins. One thing about the lids though is that they don't snap on, they just sit on the top. I don't mind it though. I just have the lids so that I can stack them.
