toy storage in living room/family room?

What do you use for toy storage in your living room/family room? I'm looking for something (like a toy box) to hold stuffed animals & Little People toys that looks more like furniture rather than a kiddie toy box. I'd rather not use baskets, as they don't have lids to cover everything up. Any suggestions?

The kids mostly play in the basement but I like to keep toys upstairs too.

Thanks!

I have a couple of storage ottomans that came with my furniture. I know I've seen other types at Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond. I also use a large basket, but it's not covered.

We have this from Target...

Then I bought stackable baskets (from Target too) to put their toys in and put in the trunk.

I have a solid maple toy box that was custom made.. I'd like to eventually upholster the stop so it looks like more of a bench.

our coffee table has 3 baskets that fit under it so we throw DS toys in there and shove the baskets under the table and they are completely hidden.

We also have this armoire in black that holds a ton of toys:

I was actually looking to get a second one, but they no longer sell it in black.
