The Container Store

Love this store! Great selection of items, no matter how many times I visit the store I find something else to buy. I love exploring this place. People working there are always friendly and never any issues.

I’m crazy OCD and organized and love this place! I was able to get a ton of clear containers for my shoes and I totally obsessed with their cereal to go tupperware. This is definitely your go-​to store if you need some organizing done for any room in your house. The staff was great and the lady who rung me up also signed me up for their free store rewards card. I love that they have iPads so that the customer can enter in the info themselves. Very tech savvy here.

Clean and refreshing store with a great location right by the mall, restaurants, and a movie theater! Decent sales and friendly sales representatives; though I can’t quite say the same about the cashiers, they’re just the typical non-​interactive employees… nothing too stand out to note down.

How simply can I say this… I love this store. All the choices and colors of what you need or to get ideas from are all under one roof. For the creative minded, a linen lined shoe box becomes an adult diorama for your college project. Different ways and places to store your clean clothes makes you think if you really do need that dresser after all. Never liked the bulky look of the mouthwash bottles in your bathroom? How about a sleek indiscreet metal mouthwash dispenser complete with a cover that doubles as a cup? The ideas are endless. I get a kick out of their garbage can selection. If you have a specific spot for your can but cannot find one to fit it, this store has short, tall, wide, thin, plastic, metal, simple Japanese style, motion sensored, you name it, they probably have it. Go and browse with an open mind. If the price doesn’t suit you then enjoy the selections they have. The store gives you organizational ideas with style.

Excellent store — has a huge selection of all kinds of organizers and containers. My personal favorites are cabinet sized mesh solution drawers and lunch boxes with removable compartments.
In addition to carrying a lot of useful things the store has excellent staff. When we came in this gentlman was helping us and he turned out to be the most competent, the most knowlegeable and helpful salesperson I have ever met. His name is Thomas and I am going to contact his manager just to let him know what an asset he is tothe store

Yes, they have Made In USA plastic storage boxes — so does Target and for less money. This is a fine place to go for ideas, but most of what they sell, I can find a way to live without, DIY instead of buy, or get it elsewhere without having to shlep across the bridge.
I like that they are supposedly a great company to work for. It shows in just how friendly and helpful their workers are. However, it really irritates me that nearly everything in the store is from China, Bangladesh, Mexico.

I have to say I was very disappointed with the container store for designing my closet. My neighbors recommended them for design and installation of a closet in a new construction home and I was excited to use them for my closet because I saw what a great job they did on my neighbor’s.
So I went into the store and brought my floor plans for design. So we designed the closet based on what was entered in the computer and the cost for product came out to be ~$ 1200. This, I thought, was quite pricey, but was ok with it because I needed to have it done. The installation came out to be ~$ 320, but then they also add tax and an additional fee so the total was $ 450. I thought this was expensive, but I live alone and am not handy. But I had no idea that the installation cost is 25% of the cost of product. This is outrageous in my opinion! But they never told me that.
So I had them come and install the product 3 days after the design. When it was complete, there was a foot of extra wall space unused on one wall and I couldn’t understand why. It turns out the dimensions had been entered incorrectly into the system. So I had to call to have it re-​designed and fixed. I asked if I would have to pay for installation again and was told I wouldn’t, but then, after adding in some more organizing pieces, I was going to have to spend another $ 550 on products and then pay 25% of that for the additional installation! This is outrageous! And had I known in the store when we initially designed it that it was going to be this expensive, I would have NEVER purchased it. In no way was I planning to spend this much money on my closet, but I felt I had already paid for the initial installation, it was too late to return it all. The store manager offered me 15% off the additional products, which I thought should have been a higher percentage off or even cover the additional products for the inconvenience of having to take another day off from work to have it installed AND they wanted me to bring the products I needed to return back to the store! They ended up NOT covering the additional installation cost, only the $ 80 flat fee for bringing the product out.
If I had known it was going to cost this much, I NEVER would have used them to put in my closet. I think this is ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS. I will NEVER use the Container Store again for a closet space, or any other organization issues.

I love certain items in there because I can never find anything as efficient anywhere else. I have fallen in love with plastic… BPA free. Yes. I’m satisfied. :P Now I can not live without the Container store. Located by Cherry Hill Mall.

I’m a professional organizer, so of course this store is like a slice of heaven to me. They have some unique storage options here that you can’t find anywhere else. Great ideas for closets and kitchens and any other areas of your home that need organized!

I am physically unable to walk out of here without purchasing at least ONE ITEM. It probably will be an item that AT THAT MOMENT I think I can’t live without, but the reality is, I will actually pack it into my suitcase, unearth it a week later, then add it to the clutter in my house that I actually need to organize and de-​clutter. Sigh. But yes, yes yes, lots of stuff, especially in the travel section, that is just so «I didn’t know I needed that.»

There is nothing better then this store!!! Everything you never knew you needed! They are helpful and knowledgable and just plain nice. Bought super cool shoeboxes to organize my shoes. They look awesome in my closet

I get it. It’s a big box store. A chain. A franchise. The bane of our independent, capitalist society. They are over priced and generic. BUT… the quality of goods surpasses Ikea, Home Depot, Lowes, Target, and other like stores. They have unique ideas on storage and will design your space for you (for FREE!!!). Not all their designs shout style, but they err on the side of functionality which should and does include craftsmanship. Where they lack in form, the make up for in ease of use and simplicity. In my opinion, many of the wares peddled at The Container Store surpass Ikea in both form and function. You certainly pay for steel instead of plastic, wood instead of laminate, simplicity instead of miles of instructions.
On a personal note, at the store in Cherry Hill, NJ, were some of the friendliest and most helpful sales people I’ve encountered in a goodly longish while. I will most certainly brave the toll bridge (and NJ) to shop there again.

The Container Store makes me want to be a better person.
They have everything imaginable to keep you organized in every aspect of your life, including travel. One day, I will have a walk-​in closet that is organized by this store. For now, however, my meager little closet is organized by a few key pieces like a shoe organizer and some containers for handbags.
The service is definitely on the better side of good and they don’t smother you. They make themselves visible and acknowledge you, but they don’t hover or bother you.

Every time I go to The Container Store, I love it a little more. They carry ever conceivable piece of organizational item one could ever imagine, and many others that you didn’t even realize existed. The Container Store has played a pivotal role in organizing my pantry, linen closet, and to a lesser extent, my bedroom closet. I dream of having a custom designed Elfa closet, but unfortunately that is just not in the budget.
The store *is* overpriced, and sometimes you can find a comparable item at Target, but the selection at The Container Store is so vast, that whatever the type of item you are looking for, you will find various styles and sizes to truly meet your individual needs.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I have a friend who works here. But I don’t feel that has biased my review in any way. I do have the benefit of my friend telling me what sales are going on at any given time, and giving me some ideas about my organizational needs, but aside from her being my friend, it is clear that The Container Store trains their employees well. They know the products and whatever employee I’ve asked for help has always been able to show me various suggestions for my issues.
As I continue my never ending endeavor to organize my home, The Container Store will continue to play a big role.

I really love this store, but for me, it’s more about gawking than spending. I have purchased a bag for laundry and it’s awesome. Yesterday, my mom found some great containers and is loaning them to me for an upcoming move.
I so wish I could buy the whole store, but unfortunately, that’s just not a possibility!

Not surprisingly, this is a well-​organized store, the aisles and products all look very neat.
However, most things (say those for the kitchen) are made of plastic. It’s all practical, but I could find no funky designs or high quality items. For example, I needed a water pitcher with a filter, the only one on display store looked flimsy. Also, I found a poor selection of trays to organize silverware, and most of the «jars» to store kitchen things were made of transparent plastic.
Great place if you want to buy hangers though! Friendly cashiers (but a bit on the slow side, maybe it’s called thorough.)

The folks at this Container Store are so, so helpful! Although I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me at all that people who work at the Container Store are organized and focused!
I could easily have bought three or four times what I wound up buying during my last visit, but I behaved myself. It’s easy to lose yourself in the store if you are an organized, type A person like me.
So happy that there’s a place nearby that I can buy, well, containers and hangers and organizers and little boxes and craft books and and and and and…

For the organizational freak in me, The Container Store fulfills my every wish. I got so excited by the potential of the merchandise on my last visit that I had to force myself to focus and stick with the tasks at hand. Which were: airtight mason jars for my flour, sugar, etc., a vertical wrapping paper container and a box for Christmas decorations.
So maybe I got a little sidetracked by all the after-​holiday sales. At least I have mini cards to attach to next year’s gifts!
Frugal shoppers beware, gettin’ tidy comes at a price. Set limits and try not to get bamboozled by the aisles and aisles of promised structure to your chaotic life.

This is one of those stores where you have to be in the right frame of mind for. If you go there wanting to be in and out, don’t bother, you will leave thinking the whole world is being made in China and of plastic.
If you have a little bit of time, though, and have some thoughts on how you might be able to organize a section of your kitchen or bedroom or basement or whatnot, they have some really good ideas and resources.
If you don’t have a game plan/​list, though, you can get really overwhelmed with the walls of stuff and want to high tail it out of there, IMHO.
Nice that they are set off to the side of the mall, though, so parking never usually is a problem.

Are you the kind of person for which everything has a place? I am too, so I love this place. From the wire mesh desk organizers to the old school glass apothecary jars, this is *the* place to get your organize on.
Let’s talk about the glass apothecary jars. Antique ones are crazy expensive, but when I wanted to redo my bathroom with that old time pharmacy/​barbershop look, I wanted some jars for cotton swabs and such. Container Store to my rescue. Literally designed with this stuff in mind, I was able to find exactly what I needed.
When it came time to organize the kitchen, I liked the idea of the jars but needed airtight ones. Not a problem. What size? Did I prefer round, or square, or bell shaped? They had it all. I even bought an oversized one to keep cat food in. Yes. I’m. That. Organized.
Of course there are thousands of other items to feed that obsessive compulsive disorder, closet organizers, shoe trees, kitchen widgets, office supplies that you didn’t know existed but certainly can’t live without.
Warning — do not go shopping without a buddy, and as they see you eyeing the seventeen different versions of eye drop dispenser holders, have them pull you to safety. Know when to say when.
