Container Store

Not only does this place satisfy all of my organizational obsessive-​compulsive needs, but it has turned out to be a treasure trove for Christmas stocking stuffers. I guess I first discovered this place a little over a year before, and I made sure to sign up for their e-​mail newsletter. As it turns out, every year they give you an «annual shopper gift» for being on their list. This year it was a seriously nice oversized laminated reusable shopping bag.
You could browse forever here. But I will try to note the unique finds I hadn’t considered they would carry. Travel items: all sorts of ways to simplify packing and travel, from the wonder button (to extend the neck of your collared shirt) to luggage straps and scales to travel size containers for your dop kit. Kitchen gadgets: cookie molds and stamps, cupcake storage vessels, cutting boards, and champagne buckets. Handy items: the «stain stick» for laundry, business card carrying cases, and the «Sittin’ Pretty» line of disposable toilet seat covers. These made it into the Christmas stocking of a particularly cherished female friend, mostly because their slogan sold me: «It’s our duty to protect your booty!»
Who knew you could have so much fun shopping in what could be perceived as a store full of boxes? It’s much more than that. And it is a blast to browse here!

I love this store! Great products & really helpful staff.

I’d just written a 5 star review based on previous experiences, but bought a stainless steel trash can tonight only to discover some big scratches and dings on it when I got home :(Not sure it’s worth returning, especially living on the 3^rd floor, but bummer for a small investment I’d been looking forward to for my new home.

Thanks for helping me organize, Container Store!
I could spend hours — AND — a lot of money here. It’s a good thing it’s a 20 minute drive for me, though I know there will be a new CS on 20^th St/​Camelback very soon!
Location: Near some car dealerships and a Whole Foods in Scottsdale. Great location. I can get some organizational gear, then go get lunch at WF. Perfect combination.
Parking: Plenty of parking in the lot.
Store: This store has it all. I have purchased organizational gear to organize my kitchen, bath, and my desk /​work space. You can enroll in their Pop Perks and receive 15% off coupons for items.
The kitchen section includes multiple items that can be used to organize silver ware, under sink messes, and flour/​sugar/​etc., plus tons of lunch box containers to help you store your lunch.
The store also has sales from time to time. The employees are friendly and helpful.
The only downfall — I am sure one could find cheaper prices at Wal-​mart, Target, or
, but it’s nice to see and visually everything in one store.

Great ideas, but crazy prices!

This is my candy store. I love this place! If you need a storage solution. They probably have it! Do you want it to be attractive? They probably have it? Do you want to shop at a store with happy, ultra helpful employees that get paid an awesome wage? Shop here, my friend! If you need more persuading go inside, google them, find out about the awesomeness!

Ahhhhhh… organizational heaven. They have pretty much everything you can think of. Although, they didn’t have individual plastic banana holders I was looking for, so maybe they should add that to their inventory ;) Everyone working there is willing to help, so don’t be afraid to ask.

Read the other 4 & 5 star reviews. It’s all true. They have everything, plus. They are happy & helpful. They have a great return policy… Yes, they are pricey.
Ya get what ya pay for.
Are the other location like this? I hope so.

I don’t think Disney is the happiest place on Earth. I think the Container store is. Friendly people, good service, bright and obviously clean store… It’s worth going just for fun and looking around. Pricey yes, but they have every sort of storage bin or shelf you could want to organize literally any room in your home. You will find things you had no idea you needed until you saw them. I had great customer service here, and I highly suggest signing up for their reward program, I randomly got 15% off my purchase last night (you get some kind of reward every month).

Overpriced. but. i just need everything in this store?
There return policy is fabulous if you have something already assembled — They don’t care they will take it back!
And everyone in the store is super helpful, and did I mention I just need everything in this store. I didn’t know it. but now that I am aware of everything I can do. I NEED it.

As an organized freak, this store is the bestest with the mostest! To organize anything, they have got it. Just walking thru gives me ideas to neatin up my life!

Okay, I’m officially upping my score — I’m here so much they are starting to recognize me. I honestly don’t think my life could be any more organized yet I keep finding ways to organize things here and there. Once you get a layout and idea of what this store offers, you’ll find yourself thinking «I bet I could find a way to better organize this…» as you’re cleaning house. And no, I don’t have too much time on my hands.
My kitchen is now plastic free, I use glassware storage and jars of all sizes to store things. I used to buy them at Sur la Table but they are actually a little less here. I will continue to make the drive from Tempe — hands down best store in the Valley for quality regarding organization and storage!

I love walking through this store.
As someone with ADHD, I find that to ameliorate any issues with being scatterbrained, I must be organized to a fault. This place allows me the luxury to do so.
I have walked in here 3 times (I live in Laveen) and each time, the store has something new to help me maintain my organization. It always helps in a way I didn’t realize was necessary, but is completely so.

My life would be complete if The Container Store would open in Calgary. It is an organizer’s dream! Everything you can think of — from large storage bins, kitchen containers, office storage, gift wrap, travel accessories, and more. They have plenty of closet organization tools, including their own in-​store brand. If only it would all fit in my suitcase to bring home with me!

We used to go to The Container Store a lot when we lived in San Francisco, so when this one opened up in Scottsdale, we had to go check it out!
One of my favorite items to get are the shoe boxes. Being the shoe addict that I am, they are clear, and are the perfect size. There are so many different types of organizational products to choose from that generally, you’ll probably find what you need.

Love coming here. All your organizational needs in one place! I think their stuff is a little pricier than if you find similar items at Target, Lowe’s or other stores that sell what CS sells. However, you won’t see the variety.

The Container Store is one of those places I go when attempting to create order from chaos. Each time I visit, I find at least one amazing thing that I had no idea I needed yet somehow can no longer live without.
Each time I leave with things I did not plan to buy. Yet, I keep going back.
I guess it helps that the store is very well organized (well, duh) and the employees are friendly, helpful and make excellent product suggestions. Oh, and the shoe boxes are amazing. You can buy them by the case. Don’t ask how or why I know this.
During holiday season, you can find fun stocking stuffers and great things for packaging and wrapping gifts. I love the doggie wrapping paper and hope it will be back in stock this year!
I will keep going back, pursuing that fantasy vision of that perfect organized life. I can do it. I just need one more apothecary jar… Or two…

This store always makes my leg tingle and the hair on my neck rise. I love being organized and this is the go to place to get it done. Inside is always super neat and tidy. The service is very friendly and they welcome you right when you enter.
Normally get things for the kitchen, closets or sometimes the garage. Last visit I found some really cool Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons in the shape of rectangles. The older style round ones just do not fit in some of my spice jars and make a mess. Picked up some really nice Plastic Containers with snap on lids for all my dry goods. They are very strong and durable and fit perfectly in my kitchen cabinets. Nice!
You will normally see this store next to a Whole Foods Store. Rumor is that the two major influences of both companies were roommates in Austin, TX while going to UT. HA! Reminds me of my college days back in TX and all the wild and crazy parties we used to have.
I’ve said too much and Must CONTAIN myself now. Oh Snap!
4.5 STARS

I first started shopping at the Container Store when we lived in Houston. Back then I thought they were very overpriced but as I got older I realized that it is well worth spending money on products that make your life easier! The other reviewers have already praised their closet organization system but they also have tons of kitchen gadgets for bar and cooking. They also have lots of little gizmos for the rest of the house that you have never heard of but as soon as you see them you realize that you absolutely need to own it! This makes it a great place to shop for stocking stuffers or small gifts for those hard to shop for friends and family. A lot of people don’t realize they also have an amazing gift wrap area. You can find a box or bag to fit anything with tons of fantastic paper and ribbons.
I do wish that the shipping costs on their website weren’t so high. Most other retailers had free shipping for the holidays but not The Container Store. The store is about an hour away from my house so that is a pain. But at least you can order online and do in-​store pickup for free so that will save you some time.

I was dragged kicking and screaming into this store. And then I spent $ 50 on stuff I had to have because I just couldn’t imagine my life without it!!!
This store really is amazing. While the prices can be a little much, the sales are good and some of the stuff you just really didn’t know you needed but will now make your life so much more wonderful. What made my life 100 times better you ask? Well… the ladies all know how fun curling irons are and how when you put them away you end up with melted plastic all over them. or that long trip to the airport where you have to hold it to put it in the suitcase at the last minute because it is to hot. Well… for the price of $ 17 my friend, you can have a container that you can put your hot curling iron in and never have to peel plastic off it again!
On a more serious note, the closet stuff looks amazing. The shoe racks are going to be a life saver and when I move next year I have a feeling I will be spending some serious dough in this store.
