The Container Store

I love this place. They always what I am looking for in terms of organization. The only reason why I am not giving it 5 stars is due to the lack of sales and specials. I have never been in here when I have had something I wanted was on sale. Besides that, the store is huge, always clean and well organized (ha!) the staff are friendly, and there is always ample parking.

An incredible destination. When you enter you are greeted by a plethora of containers of all shapes and sizes. You could store fairies or dreams, they are that varied. The possibilities are truly endless. As you traipse through the wonderland of colors and options you may come to feel as if you are home as I did. One employee, Stephanie, is a true delight. If you have a storage issue they have a solution.

Being the anal, obsessive neat freak I am, The Container Store is one of my favorite places to shop.
I needed a magnetic basket for the fridge to hold coupons & bam, thanks to their great website, I found one & it was in stock at the Creedmore location.
I was welcomed with plenty of parking.
The store was neat, clean, organized (of course!) & had plenty of employee presence.
I wandered around the whole store, because like IKEA, they get you to analyze your whole home: «do I need this?» I resisted temptation & left out with the magnetic basket & a stuff able laundry bag (to hold shoes when I travel).
Prices are reasonable & employees are friendly & helpful.

I LOVE this place! Great products, and even better staff! They are always SO helpful!

I went into the Container Store for food storage containers and they had a great selection. Unfortunately, though the displays were nice and organized, the price tagging was not. I bought a product that was marked as 4.99 and charged 7.99 instead. I checked the product myself and yes, it was tagged at 4.99. When I brought this to the attention of the clerk she basically shrugged and said «It’s different.» There was only one tag on the shelf and it was clearly represented to be the price of the product I picked up. I don’t know how the rest of the retail world does it, but my experience has always been that if you don’t mark your product clearly and accurately then the incorrect tag is the price you pay: a penalty for the merchandising mistake. There was no offer to adjust the price. No offer to help choose a different product. Just complete indifference. Cool. I returned the product (I had originally bought four) and now Target is going to get my money instead.

Expensive and spent 1 hour in here no one working came and asked if I needed assistance. This place is very overwhelming because of the mass amount of containers so being short staffed and having employees who just walk around aimlessly and without anything to do and neglect customers does not compel me to spend my money.

The Container Store !!! Are you kiddin? So I’m thinkling a whole SuperStore of containers, Yeah, That’ll fly. Well, knock me in the head and throw me in a Zip Lock bag. Needing a shadow box for my Military insignia I’m googling all over the place until TCS comes to mind. Lo and behold, 4 rows back and 2 aisles over and there are shadow boxes. Look, I spent almost 2 hours browsing this store and I loved it. Came away with a zillion ideas to improve my limited organizational skills. Definitely a 5 star operation but the pricing is a little steep. Kudos to the friendly and helpful staff. Stop on in.

A store where all of my organizing dreams can come true? Yes, please.
When The Container Store opened in Raleigh, I was at the grand opening reception WITH BELLS ON!!! Since, I have utilized The Container Store for many organizing needs in my home, from my kitchen, home office, bathroom cabinets, and even the trunk of my car.
If you need a container for something, this is your place. Don’t be fooled by the container part of the name, because you can also find organizing solutions for just about everything you have thought of, and then some. I recently have used TCS for my travel needs and ways to keep my carry-​on bag more organized. I am terrified of checking luggage so I like to pack in as much as I can into the carry-​on bag. TCS has many ways to organize that, and our garage, and our closets, and so many things… I get giddy talking about it.
Of course, the store is super organized and immaculate. The staff are friendly and if you join their email list, you can get specials and deals emailed to you.
The only reason I am deducting a star is that I can often find an item in the store that I like, and find the product elsewhere for much less. I find myself doing a lot of comparing of prices while I am in the store.

What to say about the Container Store. They technically are a store and they do sell containers in all shapes and sizes, which in hindsight makes them a Container Store, get it? Probably not, but that’s ok I can type my humility away anyhow. truth be told my only complaint is the lack of focus, or leadership. It always seems like a process to check out or the employees aren’t focused. What I do know is that this place does fulfill all of my OCD needs and even highlights them. Not sure if that is good or bad, I do know they will still have my business.

This place is amazing. I went to this location for a very specific reason. I needed a GoToob for the rest of my trip. What is a GoToob? Google it, I’ll wait here. Hey, welcome back :) So I use those bad boys when I travel. They do not break or chip or crack when you drop them and they are TSA approved so you can fill them up with whatever you use and throw them in a quart sized bag.
So, back to why I am writing about this amazing store… It was a multi-​part trip and this was the first part, so I Google’ed where I could buy a Toob and this was the closest location. However it was 10:30 at night and they were closed.
Fear Not, T-​Mac, they have online ordering with in store pick up. Meant to be… Fast forward to the next morning when they just opened at some dude is waiting at the online order pickup lane. I was promptly approached, the associate disappeared into the back and two seconds later came back out with my $ 9.99 lifesaver…
I did the whole online ordering so I could avoid any wait /​lines etc… however I did sneak away and wander through all the items I did not know I needed.
Now I order online all the time and when I am near one, I stop in. It is a great store and the folks are always polite and nice… they talk to you :) or at least say «Hi».
“The Good”
— The staff are polite and interested. Its cool to see their eyes light up when they see something that they have not stocked in a while and you can see the uses that they are going to do for the random container… that in and of itself is cool.
— They have a large number of items… literally everything containers.
— If you like to be organized, set aside the day… you are home here.
— Try the online ordering … it worked flawlessly.
«The Meh»
— Nothing really meh to comment on.
«The Bad»
— Nothing really bad to comment on.

Fast, friendly, and not even insanely busy despite the fact that school is starting for college kids right… NOW (albeit I went on Tuesday around the lunch hour). They have this service where you can order and pay online, and then pick it up at the store. Super quick, and saves shipping expenses/​time (although how much gas did I use? hm). The danger with Container Stores is that you can’t, ahem, «contain yourself.» They have all this gadgets and doohickies perfect for suckers like me. Who needs to store their batteries in the package they are already IN when you can purchase a plastic BOX for them?!?

Okay so I am a total sucker for some home goods, especially organizational ones. The Container Store is like heaven for these kinds of things. I was sad to see some of the other organizing/​container store options in the area close, but glad that the Container Store is here to fill the void. Whether it is the kitchen, the closet, or the garage they’ve got something useful to help get some of the clutter organized and put away. The staff are friendly and helpful. They also offer product demonstrations at various times throughout the day.
I would definitely check the prices of some stuff versus other places as some things are a bit more expensive, but it is all competitively priced. That being said, it still isn’t cheap. For the most part, though, it feels like you get what you pay for since they stock decent brands like Simple Human, etc.

If you are a neat freak, you have the right place. They have containment for every room.
I like the garage origination products. They are very nice and can compact many items in a smaller space.
If you have not been here, we’ll what are you waiting for? You can organize any room in you home. they have the accessories and the know how to do it. Most of the associates are trained in organization in there area of expertise.
I am a fan, but do not expect to save $$$$$ here. This is cutting edge stuff. Well almost.
Friendly and helpful associates in all areas.

Having lived in the Bay Area, there are a few of these stores. However, they were never in convenient locations for me. The closest was in The City on a busy street and parking was a pain in the tuckus. So I never went to the store. Not one of them. I resigned to covet all things for organizing on their website. Now imagine when I moved back to the Triangle and pulled into a parking lot in front of The Container Store. I swear I heard harps and angels singing when the doors opened.
The selection is amazing, and the staff is very helpful. During a sale, the place can get crowded and a bit hectic. So you gotta brace yourself and leave your DH at home. I can spend the whole day in this store.

Okay, I wanted to give this place 4.5 stars, but unfortunately that doesn’t fly. I went to the Container Store for the first time last night because they were having a college night event. Each person got an additional 20% off of their total purchase after finding amazing things that were ALL on sale!
I knew this place had to be good when I arrived and saw a line that stretched out to the parking lot. There were staff members everywhere who assisted each customer and could answer just about any question. They even had a holding area if you had too many items to carry! That was also the downside though– there weren’t even enough shopping carts to hand out to everyone, and eventually part of the store had to be roped off to become a holding area. They roped off the kitchen container section, which was where I so desperately needed to go.
I got amazing deals on everything I needed for this fall. The best part? All of the color choices. You can’t go wrong with that at all. The only thing I have to say about the prices was that rolling, stackable drawers were far more expensive than comparable items you may find in Target or the like. I don’t think it’s necessary to pay $ 84 for rolling drawers when you can get the same thing for around $ 20. But let’s face it– the price was only so high because the quality of each product is INCREDIBLE. The Container Store has every possible thing you could ever think of when looking to organize.
I foresee myself returning the near future.

Wow. Just WOW.
The Container Store is another in a long line of ideas that I wish I’D have come up with. Being the organization freak that I am, I simply cannot believe I didn’t think of a store like The Container Store!
There are all types of containers for your kitchen, cabinets, drawers, bedroom, closets, trash, laundry, office, garage, photos, and dorm room. You’ll also find organizing accessories for travel, and in the back you find gift boxes and wrap, as well as moving boxes and packing (bubble wrap).
Some of the coolest things I’ve seen so far: a chair made of bungee cords, a «leaning» shelf which looks like a ladder, garage wall racks to hold footballs/​basketballs, etc. and car trunk organizers.
The store is located diagonally across the intersection from Crabtree Valley Mall, and has a large parking lot. Definitely get here if you need some organization help!

If you need to organize any space, and I mean ANY space, this is the place to start. The Container Store is less expensive than it looks, offers excellent service and, were it not for the crappy vehicular entry/​exit situation off of Glenwood and Creedmoor, would be nearly perfect.
Because there are so many options in every category at TCS, you could easily spend all day here if you’re just looking around. So, if you’re time-​pressed, looking for something specific or just want to review the options, check out their website first to narrow your choices down and then come into the store with some idea of what you want. If you’re an impulse shopper, you’ll still end up with some extra stuff, but at least you won’t be overwhelmed with the selection.

I love The Container Store! It brings joy to my obesessive-​compulsive, anal-​retentive little heart. It soothes my soul just to walk the aisle and see all the neat & tidy displays. It. organises my closet and helps keep my house clean? Well. a girl can dream!
Seriously though, I have loved TCS’s website for years, and was thrilled when I heard we were getting one right down the road from my house. They have literally EVERYTHING you could ever need to organise your kitchen, office, bathroom, closet, garage, you name it, and in multiple styles, sizes, and colors.
I could spend a thousand dollars in this store quite easily but honestly I pop in even if I just need one completely random thing (i.e. a box of 72 heavy-​duty plastic hangers, in royal blue, for $ 18? Why have I been buying these things at Target?!) and still walk out with an impulse buy (i.e. super-​cute butterfly-​patterned springtime gift wrap on sale for $ 2.49).
It’s a running joke in my family that I can’t go into Target for a pack of gum without spending $ 100. TCS is definitely starting to head towards that category!
Add in the fact that the store is always spotlessly clean, the displays tidy and ever-​changing, and the staff easy to find and so friendly and helpful, I feel completely confident giving TCS 4 stars!

Containers: one, two, red, blue; big, small, short, tall.
For the anal-​retentive, this place is paradise. A container for every occasion! Everything is sorted into sections (eg, Closet, Desk, Kitchen, etc). Prepping for a new house, I picked up several drawer organizers, a tie rack, coat rack strip, medicine jars for the bathroom — and I really hope to convince my husband to make a return trip this week while they have a 30% off special on closet installation. Our 1920s house could definitely use some modern-​day help with effectively utilizing what space there is in our lil’ closets.
What was really surprising is that the prices are competitive. I hit Target later today, and was pleased to find that several items I’d gotten at the Container Store were higher at Target. (AND accordingly, I actually was able to leave Target without use of a shopping cart or a basket — probably a first! :pats self on back:)

** Singing **
Little boxes in my closet,
Little boxes made of ticky-​tacky (aka clear plastic),
Little boxes, (lots of) little boxes,
Little boxes, so everthings all the same.
There’s a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they’re all made out of ticky-​tacky (aka clear plastic)
And they all look just the same.
PS — this is a variation of the theme song for the Showtime show Weeds. I sing the above version to the tune anytime I’m OCD arranging my shoes, which are all in the signature Container Store Shoeboxes, all 30 of them (or more eeek…) AND I LOVE THE CONTAINER STORE!
