The Container Store

I love how they open at 9 am Monday through Saturday! I love their clear bins like for shoes and such but I use it for toys and such. Prices are reasonable but it can add up. We bought a few items that are really useful such as toilet paper holder for the side of your toilet so more than 1 may be displayed for conveniency. We also bought an umbrella holder. Wish this place offered coupons though!

The gentleman at the cashier (I wish I got his name to give him credit!) was incredible. Extremely helpful and even went out of his way to write down the item number and description of the product I wanted on a piece of paper (since it was out of stock) and come hand it to me while I was shopping around. I didn’t even ask for it! Awesome customer service!

I am very shocked at how terrible this container store made me feel today. I came in with my family to purchase some desk trays for organizing my new vanity.
Upon entering you can clearly see the store was quite empty at 7:30pm on a Tuesday. We proceeded to walk each aisle comparing the different size trays. And then suddenly all I see is employees come out of no where, back and forth several times. They don’t even ask if we need help or acknowledge us. As we walk to another section so do they. At some point my family of split up looking at different sections and as I started walking into a new isle an employee almost runs into me. She was trying to beat me to the next aisle. All of this following us around was very uncomfortable and down right aggravating. Just FYI we are a Hispanic family and all the employees patrolling us were Caucasian. I guess all minorities are considered thieves to this store. Never coming back. I feel like returning my items. I would give them zero stars if I could.

One word… Rob!
Rob helped me design custom Elfa closets and guided me through the products so I wasn’t overwhelmed.
The customer service at this location is unparalleled.

My first time here and EVERY single employee (which ended up being around 5 people) i encountered was friendly and asked if I needed any help. Very clean, organized store. Great vibes in here. I left with a shelf that is normally $ 250 for $ 99 because it was double status on sale and being discontinued so, extra discount. Very happy! I signed up for the free rewards program at the register. Will definitely be coming back. Great place, great staff.

Wow. Two Saturdays ago tried (and failed) to buy a closet organizer. At least a dozen people in line and one register open. Couldn’t stand it and walked out… very disappointing

It’s obviously no Ikea… and definitely more expensive. But The Container Store is so darn addicting! Going in, you realize there’s so much of your home that needs a little updating! This place takes serious self control to shop at… if you’ve got that, you’re golden. If you’re like me… good luck to you.
There are so many items for your home, kitchen, storage rooms, travel, shipping, etc. Everything you never knew you really needed can be found here. Yes, the prices can be a bit steep here, but if you’ve got time to carefully look around, you’ll notice some pretty good deals.
There are so many containers for every occasion. I know it sounds bad, but I honestly feel like my home is a bit more organized. Thank you Container Store! Make sure that you sign up for their rewards program. You get a little gift around your birthday, and they have little coupons occasionally. They’ll also notify you when a sale or two are around!

Organize your life here. It’s a great store for the ocd. I just went here for some Tupperware for my kitchen. Get lost in here while l gettin organized. A little overpriced though

I went to The Container Store in Pasadena, CA on 2÷29÷2016 (Leap Year Day). It was my 1^st time there. I bought a 5-​drawer red cabinet for $ 79 (original price $ 99). Also bought Scotch tape ($ 1.99). Plus, I took photos.

I have to be 100% honest. I thought that by going to a store just for organization would offer me a better selection and pricing than other stores I’ve gone to… but honestly, the prices have never made me feel more like an outsider. This store is clearly not made for people like myself. I leaned over to my husband and just said, «remember you asked what I would of done if I won the powerball? I’d shop everything here».
They are cute but a bit out of my financial reach.
$ 24.99… $ 39.99 for baskets?
Um, I guess I’ll be going back to ikea or Michaels where those shelf containers are $ 5.99. (They’re not as cute but will do the job).

I’ve loved this location of their store the best in SoCal mainly that the place is beyond spacious for all the shoppers to pick their way through all their organization ideas.
Staff here are helpful but leave you alone if you don’t need the assistance, which is nice for introverts like me :).
My only qualm here is good ol’ Old Towne Pasadena can get hectic on the weekends, so nabbing a meter or a free 90 mins free parking at one of their nearby lots can get tricky.

I came out here because I didn’t want to deal with the Grove traffic and bustle. I always buy my gift wrap from the container store because I treat gift wrap like an Olympic sport and they always have the best designs. The store was great and organized. I didn’t park in valet but instead at a meter. Mostly I just want to say how friendly and cheerful Kyle was at checkout!

Hello my Unilocalies,
This place is definitely a go-​to place if you ever want to design your home. Such as closet, cabinet, and little stuff in the bedroom. Parking here is great, they actually have a 90 minutes FREE parking lot right across the street. I decided to use valet because I was in a rush and I was in there for a good 2 hours, parking was only $ 2.50. That was definitely very convenient for people who are in a rush.
I came here to help my friend look for some hooks for his closet, since he order in bulk there was some miscalculation in the shipping and we were missing 2 of the hooks. But they were nice enough to give it to us for free without actually checking our previous order, so that was definitely a perfect service. I love this place because you can get anything you want, perfect for Christmas shopping. If you need any boxes, wrapping paper, decorations, baskets they have it here.
I also bought some plain white boxes for my work, since I do Real Estate we try to give out gifts to our clients at the end of our transaction. The boxes are perfect size for our gifts and it definitely adds an elegance to our presents. One downside is that this place is a little on the pricey side, I would suggest going during holiday season since they have like 20% discount on many of their product. I bought those boxes for $ 3.99 from $ 5.99, so that was definitely a plus side.
My friend love how they create his closet, he wants it in a specific way and also on the right side of his closet he wants a jewelry box for his significant other, that was definitely one of the best design I’ve ever seen. Love how detailed they are when it comes to helping their customers, he is definitely very happy with the result.
Overall, 5 stars for service, 4 stars for product (just because it is on the expensive side) and 4 stars for environment and decoration. They are very organized, definitely don’t be shy to speak up if you ever need their help with finding the perfect item for you.

I love the Container Store not because I need containers or drawer organizers or closet shelving. I love the Container store because they have the shelves of «bits» by the register. Little plastic things that you see and realize that you couldn’t possibly live without.
Today, I picked up a small cable winder for my nose cancelling headphones. Instead of a big tangled knot, I now have a nice organized cable. Awesome.
The shop is very neatly organized (of course) and the prices are clearly displayed and the staff are very willing to help you with whatever.

First time ever setting foot in a Container Store and I fell in love! I love how bright the store is and how colorful it can get with the variety of colors! Literally buying all of my necessities here when I get a future house. Easy to find everything with their labels and the way they set everything out. And there are so many options, it’s crazy great!!!
2 stories, but only was on the first floor. Give this place a try if you ever need a container for what ever reason, it won’t let you down!

It is definitely called the container store for a reason. There is a wide array of both small and large containers and tons of gift bags! I walked in not really knowing what I wanted to purchase but walked out with quite a few little things for my new place. Many of the trash cans were very nice and high quality but way too pricey. I settled for a cheap trash can for the bathroom and decided to buy the other ones else where. I think the best part about this store is their selection of hangers and bathroom organization items.
Only sucks that the parking garage next to the store is so expensive instead of being the free for 90 minutes like many other parking garages.

The store itself if neat and offers practical and functional items for your home or office.
We went in the store a few months ago to look at registry items and see them in person to get ideas. They misplaced their registry scanners during the remodel (they also don’t have them two months later when we went this week).
I like their storage components for the closet, travel, and kitchen.
I didn’t really have much interaction with staff members the last two times we went in this store, but then again I liked how they left us to explore on our own.

The ONLY reason I didn’t award five stars is because this store costs waaaay too much money… or at least, I SPEND too much here. It is addicting, and they manage to come up with storage solutions that my husband and I need… mostly in our bathroom, the one problem in our townhome. The Container Store has provided every single change we’ve made, and while I am grateful, my checking account is not.
My husband expressed a desire to go here last weekend, his birthday weekend. I was surprised. We hadn’t set foot in one of these stores in at least a couple of years now, and for him to announce this just surprised me. That being said, I walked over to the bath storage area… mistake… and found new storage ideas. Oh boy, bigger mistake… cuz I bought them. $ 150 worth. Ugh.
Got home, spent several hours re-​doing the bathroom storage, only to find I needed more, and because I have serious issues with leaving tasks incomplete or partially done, we returned the next day for more, and I spent an additional $ 230. Major sigh. Am I nuts? Yes, that’s already been determined.
That being said, both of us love the new, sleek and shiny acrylic storage holders where I haven’t seen elsewhere, so when I’m complaining about how much I spent, I also thank them for having what we want. This store is so darn expensive, but they have every conceivable storage solution going. They do.

I’ve spent so much money here it makes me sick. Especially knowing I’m not actually buying stuff but just containers for my stuff. I have found the Container Store shoe boxes incredible helpful. In my old house I put all of my shoes in plastic shoeboxes and stacked them in a closet. We adopted a new cat and it peed in the closet once and only one pair of shoes foolishly not in a box was damaged! Imagine if all my shoes had been exposed, they would have been ruined!
This particular Container Store is fine but it’s pretty difficult to find someone to help you if you’re looking for something, reminds me of Home Depot in that way. The POP program is kind of lame. They get to track all of your purchases and in exchange, well once there was a freebie of some ziplock type bags, that’s one freebie I remember in over a year, and during the holidays there was $ 15 back if you spent over $ 100 in a month– that one was okay. You’re supposed to be able to return items without a receipt if you are in the POP program but when I went to return something they asked for the receipt (which I happened to have) because they said it would be way easier than doing it through the POP program — so I think that whole program needs a little work.
One thing that drives me crazy is there’s a certain type of box I like and they keep the Large and medium versions of this box on the first floor, and the small version of the exact same box on the second floor. The sizes are only a few inches apart.
I usually park in the garage on Union for a couple bucks. Checkout cashiers are very nice.

Boxes are expensive!
But honestly, if you’re looking for a nice gift box or what not, you don’t have many other options.
Staff is friendly and helpful, and if you know you’re going to make a big purchase, sign up for their rewards card and get a 15% off coupon!
