Promising review: "This solution is great — note that the website shows white, but I called and was able to order in platinum. For a small closet, we're now able to fit MUCH more than previously with only one hanging bar and one shelf. You can call to customize any way you want — different size drawers, etc. But the one inflexibility to this design is that the drawers and shelves must line up, so you cannot later change the height of the shelves, which works for us. I wasn't planning on reassembling anything later." —SFtoEastBay Promising review: "So simple, so clean. No more shoes/boxes scattered about whilst trying to find THAT pair of shoes. And suede stays dust free. Lovely." —Tracy Price: $56.24+ (originally $74.99+; available in two sizes) Promising review: "I am using this organizer in my desk side drawer. Love that it is expandable. All my little things are in order and easy to find." —Beverly Promising review: "I recently bought two Hyacinth Bins in Natural from The Container Store, and I couldn't be happier! Their warm, natural look adds a cozy touch to my space, and they fit perfectly with ample storage for blankets and linens. If you're seeking stylish storage that blends function with aesthetics, I highly recommend these!" —Daryl Promising review: "I recently reorganized my line closet and these were amazingly helpful to help store and organize everything! Love the fact that they stack up. My closet looks a million times better now!" —Kristin Price: $11.24+ (originally $14.99+; available in five sizes and two colors) Promising review: "These boxes are great because they seal up tight and you can see what's inside. We mainly use them for storage in the garage. We have mostly used the same size, which provides a uniform look." —Diane Price: $1.49+ (originally $1.99+; available in 11 sizes/styles) Promising review: "First off, we loved these way more than we even could have imagined! These are such a great solution for small apartments, dorm rooms, or other small spaces that need something like a 'dresser,' but the traditΩional option would be too large. We use these often to act as a dresser and are deep enough for hoodies, crewnecks, etc., but also have shallow drawers, which are great for organizing underwear and socks. The wide option is the way to go if you're comparing others. :)" —Organized by JM Price: $184.99 (available in three colors) Promising review: "OMG, where has this product been my whole adult life?! I am happy, happy to finally organize my bags." —Kerry Promising review: "This laundry cart is perfect for not only easily moving washing around in your laundry room, but also for ease of reach when you want to pull things out to wash… so much better than a basket on the floor! And they hold a lot! We were so happy to get it on sale that we turned right around after putting it in the car and went back in and bought a second one! Such a great decision, because my laundry room is now not only tidier, but more stylish than ever before!" —N Price: $119.96+ (originally $159.95+; available in four sizes and two colors) Promising review: "Hands-down the best for pantry organization. I thought I loved the Home Edit version, but this version has squared edges vs. rounded edges. The quality of the product is also top shelf. I think I have found my new favorite product!" —Shaniece Price: $5.99+ (originally $7.99+; available in four sizes, or as a set of five) The set includes a 4.4-quart, 2.7-quart, 1.7-quart, 1.1-quart, 0.6-quart and 0.4-quart container. Promising review: "Not only do these look great, but they are perfectly designed to store my food and keep it fresher longer." —DC Promising review: "I love these Elfa over-the-door organization systems. They're non-damaging to my doors and very easy to install. One recommendation is to measure the width of your doors before choosing the correct size!I I wanted to use it in my foyer closet, but it was nonstandard width. Used it in my bathroom instead." —Kate Price: $155+ (available in two materials) Promising review: "This is the perfect addition to our newly renovated Elfa closet. As super seniors, we need a place to sit while taking off/putting on shoes; and it holds all our shoe polish, brushes, extra laces, and shoehorns." —Martha Promising review: "I got this to help free up space in my cabinet and drawers, since my husband always has at least five boxes of tea. Each drawer fits an entire box of tea, and it's perfect! So happy to have my storage space back, and my husband loves having his tea easily accessible, so it's a win-win!" —Tstb Promising review: "I absolutely cannot get enough of this cart! It was easy to assemble, rolls easily in and out of spaces, and houses everything that was sitting on my bathroom counter/sink with room to spare! This has made my mornings run soooooooo much more smoothly! Get this — it will change the entire way your day starts off, for the better!" —FunLadyT Price: $33.74 (originally $44.99; available in eight colors) Price: $89.99+ (originally $119.99+; available in two sizes) Promising review: "I love the folding garmet rack!!! I bought it to organize my closet and give it a good spring cleaning. It was the perfect tool to get the job done. It will also be great when I am planning a trip and need to stage my clothes instead of hanging them on the armoire or handles of bathroom cabinets. It is great how easily it will fold down to put under the bed for easy storage when not in use." —Deb Price: $82.49 (originally $109.99; available in two colors) Promising review: "I have used cable drops for more than 20 years. They also make great stocking stuffers and gifts for folks at work. They keep my cables from getting mixed up and from falling on the floor. I love them." —Joan Price: $8.99 (originally $11.99; available in four colors) Promising review: "I now own three of these for sorting my jewelry making supplies and it is the best system. I also purchased the plastic tray inserts with lids that fit inside and it keeps everything so dust free. This is the best organizing tool I have ever used. On my way to buy a fourth one." —Kathy Price: $97.49 (originally $129.99; available in nine colors) Price: $109.99+ (available in three colors) Promising review: "I love it!! It helps organize my backyard. No more soccer balls or any toys laying around after my boys are done playing." —skijerze Promising review: "I love these letter-sized pouches from The Container Store! They are well-made, durable, and exactly what I needed to keep my papers and projects organized. The size is perfect for documents, folders, and notebooks, and everything fits without getting bent or wrinkled. The material feels sturdy, and the zipper works smoothly and securely, even with frequent use. I use these for work, meetings, and personal paperwork, and they've made staying organized so much easier. They're practical, sleek, and hold up really well over time. Highly recommend if you're looking for a simple, high-quality solution for organizing documents." —Maggie Price: $10.49+ (originally $13.99+; available in three sizes) Promising review: "As a professional organizer, there are a few products I bring to every job - and this is one of them! They're great in a kitchen, bathroom, under sink area, craft spaces, mudrooms, laundry rooms - honestly anywhere! The grip on the bottom keeps it from sliding around, and I love that removable bins." —Shannon Promising review: "I love these boxes - I think we have about twenty of them. They're the only way I've found to make heaps of boxes look classy. They fit perfectly on 8" Elfa shelves (provided you aren't using a backstop) and are ideal for corralling all kinds of chaos. We've got them for medical/first aid stuff/rarely used cosmetic and bath items by the bathroom, accessories like mittens and hats by the door out, tea storage in the kitchen, gadgets with their chargers and cords in the living room, and knitting and crafty stuff galore. (They're an especially nice size for card-making.) Bonus: If you're into shifting your stuff around seasonally, you can get extra labels for other sides of the boxes - swap out the contents, rotate the box and boom!" —CountingKat Price: $10.49 (originally $13.99; available in four colors) Promising review: "I love how organized my TV entertainment center is now that all of the cables are hidden and neatly tucked away. So much easier on the eyes. Brings peace to the soul." —TahoeCari Price: $29.99 (originally $35.99; available in two colors) Promising review: "For years I kept all my jewelry in the little boxes they came in. My old jewelry box did not have room to accommodate different sets of earrings or chains, and I couldn't remember everything I had. This Stackers Starter set was perfect. I'm now able to see all my options for earrings and necklaces easily. And I can add on in any of the options as I need to." —Chris Price: $97.49 (originally $129.99; available in four colors) * Small Ways To Save A Huge Amount Of Space When Organizing Your Home * Organization Products Reviewers Literally Say Are “Magic” Because They Work So Well * Products Parents Swear By For Keeping Their Homes (Mostly) Clean And Organized * Seems Like A Good Time To Reorganize The Kitchen, So Here Are 35 Helpful Things * Products You Need If You Have A Colossal Amount Of Stuff Laying Around * Organization Solutions If You’re Sick Of Being Scared To Open Your Cabinets * Home Products That’ll Help Organize The B-Types You Live With * Pieces Of Storage Furniture That Don’t *Look* Like They’re For Storage Plus, organization solutions from Walmart and Wayfair.
