The Container Store....

[micki7337]

Anyone use any of their products to store their scrapbook supplies. I'm heading to Cherry Hill Saturday and want to get a list together. Right now all my supplies are stored in a rollie tote and a few bags. It takes me an hour to drag everything out and I'm never sure what supplies I have on-hand. I do plan on converting one of our bedrooms to a scrapbook room but unfortunately I have some other things to get through before that happens. Right now I just feel the need to organization and make my supplies more accessible.

I'd be interested in hearing if anyone uses their products and what your experience has been - love it, like it, hate it.

Thanks,

Marge

I drooled over the King of Prussia store but sadly I didn't have room in the car to haul stuff back to CT. I would definitely use their stuff if I had one closer.

sorry, not much help but organizing your things is a great start. Once I got all my stuff straighten out I was able to work on pages here and there.

I miss the King of Prussia mall sooooo much (we lived in NJ & PA for a couple years).......

I have the drawer rolling cart from the Container Store and love it, it holds my pens, adhesives, scissors, miscellaneous stuff, cutting system from CM. the drawers shut tight and is easy to move around.

my mom used to shop there as a kid when it was nothing more than a strip mall. They would drive into the city from Jersey every fall for school clothes. she didn't believe me when I told her how big it was!

I live 5 minutes from the Cherry Hill one and have never been in there. Am I missing out on a gold mine? I would love to go in there, but I am trying to watch my spending and have been on the ban. On the other hand my MIL is not on the ban and loves to scrap also and usually buys two of everything to share with me. Maybe I should send her to the store?
I hope you have a successful shopping trip. Also I would warn you not to go into the Target that is across the street as they are doing ALOT of construction there.

I use the handled 12x12 file box. Kinda hard to explain, but here goes: it's got a bottom part w/ 3 file folders (you can buy more), a snap on top to hold embellishments, and a handle. I use these for my night crops because I can just plan my pages, put everything in a file folder and go!

Well I went and didn't buy a thing. I did see a few things I really liked. I think I need to play on their website a little and figure out how to build a container that I can really use. I keep everything in my front hallway so I'm somewhat limited to space but they had a storage unit on wheels that had multiple drawers of different sizes. I wasn't feeling well and gave up very quickly. They did have some plastic cases that I could definitely see working for a crop night. Hopefully I'm feeling better soon and I'll go back. My girl friend lives in Cherry Hill so I'm there every few weeks.

To the previous poster, yes, I have experienced the construction. It's a mess all around there. Even the mall is a mess! (My girl friend is the manager of the Godiva.)

It was our favorite place on a wintery, rainy Sunday. DD was little and loved riding in her stroller for the whole day. It really is more of a destination rather than just a mall.

I'm from Cherry Hill. The construction at the mall is crazy. They claim it'll be done by the holidays (or at least the parking garage), but you know how accurate construction is. I can imagine what a mess the mall will be around the holidays with all that construction.

I've been at the Container Store once, I was so excited for it to finally open, but I hardly bought anything. Their prices are a bit steep.

This sounds fantastic! Would you mind directing me to the link on the website? I cant locate it.

Thank you so much!

I believe this is the item. This was the one thing I thought about buying.
