Storables

They had better prices than the container store but that doesn’t make up for the extreme lack of customer service. I go in and there are plenty of visible employees around, but not one greeted me. I understand retail is hard and it does suck the life out of you but you can’t even say hello? I soon noticed I was being practically herded around the store by an employee clearly acting as loss prevention. I felt so uncomfortable and was just wanting to simply check the place out. It’s just sad what
«service» has turned into today, just plain shameful. I wasn’t acknowledged on my way out either, all the more reason to never come back!

I like Storables, all of them. Well, I do but I like this one the best. Its bigger, and easier to find the solutions I need. I also like they look of the store.
I think a visit to Storables is a must if you have moved recently. Every new place has its own challenges to putting stuff away. Storables specializes in having the solutions.
Its also good to check in every once in a while to get reorganized.
By the way they have more then just regular storage. In my old place I brought in the measurements of my closet and they did a great job designing a new one for me (someday at my new place.)
They also have a lot of office stuff, chairs… nice things! Also check out their useful gadget area, it is good and good for quick little gifts…
I can only think of one real complaint here, parking That said I am a fan, their stuff isn’t cheap but it is good, and its nice to know just where to go to get it.

This is a fun experience for anyone looking to become better organized. My home is small and there are solutions for every storage problem you might have. Great gadgets and helpful staff too.

Great selection, no questions asked returns

Extra clothes on the floor? CONTAIN IT. Papers and documents scattered? CONTAIN IT. Too much food for your cupboards? CONTAIN IT. You harvested too much weed? CONTAIN IT. Ford Pinto spilled oil in street? Shit outta luck. Great store for containing, storing and organizing anything in your home. Even greater for people with OCD.

AWESOME STORE!!!
Totally helpful. AARON is a star. Sales but not pushy and super helpful.
I haven’t been in a storables in many years. Not bad pricing especially since they everything you need

They helped me a ton. Gave me some ideas and helped me execute the ideas I already had. Make sure to sign up on their email for coupons.

For someone with OCD this place is heaven. They have everything you need to store, compartmentalize, organize, and sort all of your stuff. They have bathroom, kitchen, living room, closet, and office supplies.
SO AMAZING!

It was like the organization gods picked up The Container Store in San Francisco and put it in Portland just for little ol’ me while I was visiting! Also, I do not have an OCD organizational problem — it’s a gift for organizing and it should be recognized as much. Please ignore all the boxes the Boyfriend keeps claiming will one day bury him alive. He’s exaggerating.
Sadly did not check any luggage on our trip, so had no way of bringing anything back any of the delightful storage items that I perused while in the store. However, pricing is very similar to what you would find at The Container Store. And, I suppose if I had ABSOLUTELY needed anything, I could’ve ordered online and shipped it home.
Regardless, it was a neat store for me to walk through. Nothing special, but it made me happy.

Tons of cool storage solutions… less than helpful staff. Guy at the cash register just stood there and awkwardly stared at me when I was ready to check out.
If you need something for home storage, I would highly recommend this place. Just don’t expect too much from the staff.

The Pearl District location for Storeables is one of five stores in this small, Northwest owned chain that features home organization products. They have another store in Beaverton, two in WA state and one in CA. For folks not able to shop at those locations, you’re in luck because they also have a web site for ordering products. Think kitchen, closet, garage, sewing and craft rooms, travel; anything you can imagine to organize and they have the things to help do that.
Prices are reasonable, customer service is great, the store is brightly lit, well organized (as you’d expect), well stocked and with lots of space in aisles to make shopping easy. Not to mention the plethora of made in USA items for sale.
I was delighted to find real glass food storage containers with sealable lids for freezer to oven use (made in the USA no less) and glass carafes in two sizes with removable covers (Italian made but that works too) perfect for storing simple syrup or leftover eggnog or homemade limeade or anything else you have to pour in them. Also good quality low profile hangers which make a great gift for a friend living in a condo with limited closet space. My surprise find was top quality stainless pull out baskets and trays with Storeables own label that can be installed inside existing cabinets. Useful because while I thought I pull out shelves everywhere when building this house, I didn’t think to put pull out trays beneath kitchen, laundry and bathroom sinks and boy do they come in handy.
If you need it for home or garage or shop organizing, they have it here. They probably have some things you didn’t even know you needed until you saw them.
THIS N THAT:
1) PARKING: On street is always a challenge in this part of the Pearl. There is a public parking garage next door and another a block away near Whole Foods.
2) ACCESSIBILITY: A flight of stairs up at the main entry but a few yards down the side of the building is a locked entry door marked with a wheelchair symbol and a sign to «ring the bell». Staff will open the door leading to a universally accessible ramped entry. (Works for people pushing strollers too.) Store is all on one floor once inside.
3) NEIGHBOR: Whole Foods is a block away and the parking garage associated with that grocery offers free 90 minute parking if you shop at Whole Foods and have your ticket validated there. If you move fast and are, umm, well organized in your efforts, you can shop at Storeables and Whole Foods and get the parking for free.

If checking in luggage wasn’t so expensive, I probably would have filled up my checked luggage with items from Storables.
Plenty of things to satisfy your OCD and propensity to put things away in a way that only you would understand.
I find it funny though that some stuff here are just waiting to be arranged. For this kind of store, you’d kind of expect that everything would be in order… not so much. So there is room to practice your arrangement skills if you’re so inclined (reminds me of the Friends episode where Monica comes over to clean one of Ross’ ex apt ’cause the girl’s place gave her nightmares).

Really love this place. Had lots of great little organizing
things I love. Staff is very nice and knowledgeable.
Close to Whole foods, and one of the best Vegan
Restaurants in town.

Killing time before dinner and exploring the ins and outs of Portland I came across this weird place called Storables. On deciding whether or not to make a stop here I saw a sign that read they had free parking. Being a frugal tourist that sign was enough for me to park my rental and head on in.
It’s safe to say that this place is an organizers dream shop. This place has everything you can think of when it comes to organizing/​storing from a guy living in a studio apartment to a family of 8 fighting for more space. There was so much stuff I wanted to buy but couldn’t take home with me. I did however end up purchasing a reusable sandwich container which I utilized everyday at work. Yeah for less waste!
Storables is like Ikea but without the furniture… and Swedish meatballs. Too bad there isn’t one closer to where I live.

I honestly am not sure why I love this place so much, but I do. Yes, I’m very fastidious and ridiculously organized. Yes, this store absolutely caters to people like myself in that regard. But dude, seriously, I can’t get enough of this place!
All the containers in the world you can think of, and then some. If you want to get your crap organized, this is the place to help you do it. Prices are pretty reasonable too. They also have all sorts of little gadgets and knick-​knacks that you don’t necessarily need, but are just too cool to pass up on.
If I had to sum it up, it’s sort of like Ikea’s «Marketplace,» at least as far as the containers go. But the nice part is getting to avoid the mass of humanity that you’ll encounter at Ikea.

Cool store to help you organize your life. We came in looking for a glass kitchen jar, but ended up spending quite a bit of time looking at so many other interesting items. As an OCD, everything-​in-​its-​place kinda guy, I can greatly appreciate this store and will definitely return when my apartment is in need of a decluttering.

Here’s the thing. I love me some Hoarders. A&E throws a marathon and it’s all over for this kid. Start talking systems and organization and tools and methods, and the perfectionist/​OCD-​lite wants to come out and play. Set me loose in Storables, and I’m immediately problem-​solving all of my home’s shortcomings.
Cost? Pffft. I’m a master at work here, people. Cost be damned. The thing is, I may have walked into Storables perfectly content with how I (kinda) organize my spices, or my shoes, or my shampoo, but it is immediately evident after mere minutes inside that my own system is woefully inadequate, and I must immediately acquire stuff to help me store or organize my other stuff. Yeah, I sometimes realize I’m being ridiculous. But those days are only when The Bud is there to temper my «fixit» attitude with a raised eyebrow and a gentle, «Is that really necessary?»
Solution? I go alone, of course! I recently solved the problem of our bizarrely too-​shallow-​for-​actual-​coat-​hangers closet. Rebuilding the closet was not an option, and living one more day with hangers that had to twist sideways in order to close the closet doors was no longer an option (apparently). Solution? Oddly enough, children’s hangers. It’s easily the only child item that will ever come into our home, but it’s a kick-​ass solution to an 8+ year old problem. Thanks Storables.

For those who know what I do for a living, one would expect me to be among the most organized people they would meet. At work, this statement would be considered true. But, at home, until just recently, it would’ve been a blatant lie.
You see, I’m a certified packrat. Clinically, even. It’s a family trait, passed on from generation to generation. I actually realized not too long ago that I’d relocated multiple times carrying with me a crapload of excess, unnecessary stuff. Junk, really. Junk that I paid thousands of dollars to pack and move. It was a disgusting realization. Luckily, I’d recently been able to shed all this junk.
How, you might ask? With Storables, of course!
Storables has allowed me to successfully get my ‘stuff’ downsized and organized. I can actually find things now. In fact, if it weren’t for Storables, I wouldn’t have found my car title when I needed it to get my state license plates this month. It was, in fact, buried among piles of paper that I had previously pegged for the shredder. What a pain it would’ve been to request for a new car title! Now, Storables didn’t directly make the car title magically appear. But because Storables offered easily-​applicable solutions to getting myself organized, it undeniably led to the fateful recovery of the car title. And, now I’m driving around the stage, legally.
I must be careful, though, not to allow my newfound predilection for organizing my home to turn it into an overtly organized space. (I’ve already had to take the batteries out of my labeler to prevent me from labeling the labeler.) But I’m glad to have a go-​to place for easy, relatively inexpensive storage and organization solutions.

Storeables is an organizer’s wet dream. There’s a box or storage doo-​dad for just about every possession you can hope to stash away. The store is clean and well organized. The employees are usually friendly and helpful. They offered to put together my new shoe tree for free and after the clerk struggled with it for awhile, they let me take the floor model so that I wouldn’t have to continue waiting for assembly. Another clerk then offered to carry it out for me, which I graciously accepted since I had thrown out my back a couple days prior and was still recovering.

I love the kitchen jars to store flour, nuts, sugar, etc. They come in glass and stainless steel, big and little, different shapes, and they seal really nice and tight.
We also just bought a new trash can that is divided between recycling and trash, and thus far it’s working great.
Fun and cute little toys to give to kids /​coworkers alike. Big store with lots of variety!
