The Container Store

I really wish I had written down the name of the amazing lady that ran around the store with me for a solid half hour trying to find the «perfect» size storage cubes for my nursery. Wow, she was above and beyond any reps I see. The variety of options are great and the pricing isn’t super crazy. Sure, some items are a bit more expensive, but definitely competitive to what’s out there. Plus, you can find every organizational item you may need in one place, and you’ll find a friendly, helpful staff. I love it here. Great job!

As soon as I walked in today, several people greeted me and Kayla S showed me where I could find what I was looking for (a riser for a flat screen TV) and several options as well. The color was not going to match so she advsied me to try the company’s website and also told me about the larger stores in New York where I live that carry more in stock. She could not have been more friendly and helpful!
The store itself is well laid out and one I will return to the next time I am in RI and need something they may carry.

Very friendly, very helpful staff. Wonderful shelving units with a contemporary look that assemble so easily that I will never buy Ikea shelves again. One negative thing, there tends to be a bottleneck at the checkout registers… one reason being that they ask whether you have registered there, do they have your e-​mail address, etc. and with seemingly no regard for how long a line may be behind you, try to get you to give them that info.

Was beyond exited to try this store out! I’m a container freak! :)
Had a few ideas in mind for new storage I needed. Hey have zillions of tho ha to choose from but make sure you have plenty of time to look at it all. I gave four stars because I feel the things I found weren’t as unique as I had hoped for. I was thinking they would have new inventive ideas but it’s was just the basics. Overall a great experience just don’t expect them to re-​invent the wheel. :)

Very cool place. It’s obviously very organized and colorful. Everything is there for any room in your home or office. I bought a little of everything for my kitchen update and of course the middle section with things like iPhone cases, cords, etc draws you in too spend money on stuff you really don’t need but say what the hell and buy lol. Plus it’s all in Christmas colors and music so the draw in is there. Ill definitely be going back once my house is sold and I’m due to update new home. A little pricey but that’s what you get for an organizing store.

I must confess, yes I’m actually saying those words, I don’t usually write reviews in a timely manner! AND many times I don’t write reviews at all. There it’s out, I’ve said it! Well I just returned home from The Container Store and I have been smiling and have had a happy feeling inside since I left!
I’ll start with the employees! (After all, aren’t they the last ones to have anything good written about them!). They are ALL the most uplifting, helpful, kind people I have ever met! First of all, it was marvelous to shop in a store that actually had associates working in almost every aisle and sometimes two or three in each department! They were actually smiling! They were happy and they were all helpful! They loved their work! They love helping you and actually get excited when they can help you find just the right thing you need! More stores could learn a lesson from the management of this organization! There is no way one can leave this store in a depressed or unhappy mood!
Now the products! If you need a container or drawer organizer or closet organizer for something, anything, they have it!!! Big, small, or in between. .it’s there! Also they have different price ranges for most of their products! They even have mops, dish racks, toilet bowl brushes in great looking holders! Just think about what you MIGHT need that may be for organization and it’s there!
I know that in one of the previous reviews someone said you can find the same the same things in Wal-​Mart. .well I’m telling you that you MAY find similar items however, you WON’T find the same quality or service! Just speaking for myself, I would rather pay a little more for the better quality product and not have to replace it in two months… and also I would even pay a bit extra just for the attention, help and good feeling I left this shopping trip with!
Well, Container Store, I will definitely be back! You are my new favorite store! Kudos to the management for creating such a wonderful shopping experience and kudos to the associates for being so fantastic!

With a closet project in mind I headed out to the Container Store. I measured and even drew out a picture of my closet. Before measuring I wrote down everything I wanted to accomplish with a new closet, like hanging clothes, short or long hang, shelves, drawers, and more.
Without an appointment I walked over to the design center (a nice space with a couple of computers, desk area and closet displays) and within 5 minutes I was being helped by a designer, Kati. She looked over my measurements, pictures and plans we chatted for a few and then she handed me a restaurant pager, you know the kind that lights up and vibrates, told me she will page me when she is done creating my new closet in about 20 minutes or so.
The 20 minutes went by and I was back at the design center viewing the plans of my new closet on the computer.
Kati had created my new closet! She explained in detail the plans and what it consist of, asked my thoughts as she did, I had plenty to ask, she showed me using the closet displays what it looked like and how it comes together.
After I chose the last detail of my closet, I had the big decision — to go DIY or have it installed?
Kati did reassure me that I could do this myself and everything but the tools would be provided BUT I went with the install. I played it safe. I scheduled the install a week later.
The install does not come with delivery, for $ 80 more it will. I opted to pick it up myself and cut my cost down. The day before the install I picked up my closet. The staff at The Container Store had it ready in a shopping cart, they rolled it out to my car and loaded it up, so easy! I did need to lay the seat down to accommodate the length.
The day of the install was here and I was ready to give my installer the hour window I was told to expect but didn’t need to! He was right on time — always a good sign. He had the same plans as I had and he got right to work. He spent time answering my questions and explaining how the closet was coming together. He was clean and polite. I was so happy! A hour and a half later my closet had been transformed to the closet I planned out, yes!
I am working my next project soon and The Container Store is where I will be!

Paid this place a visit the other day.
…yup, they have a lot of containers.

I was so excited for The Container Store to be here, I was literally counting down the days until they opened their doors. I finally made it there on a miserable, rainy day and while perhaps it was all the anticipation, I found my over-​all experience to be some what anticlimactic.
Here’s a tidbit about me: I love organizing. I love neatness, I love cubbies, I love finding the right thing to fit another right thing. Thusly, I love The Container Store. And while this particular location has all the stuff you need to be neat and organized, there was just something lacking from my experience. I wasn’t wowed, there was nothing I couldn’t leave without, there was nothing I absolutely had to have at that moment. They could benefit form better displays and merchandising, as it was all a bit overwhelming to take in.
The staff is lovely — everyone wanted to help, and when they did it was with a sincere joyfulness that was really lovely. I was even offered a hand to my car with my bags, especially since it was raining. That was a nice touch.
So, I will certainly be back to this location, but from here on out it will be with an agenda and a list to keep myself focused and from getting overwhelmed. I suggest you do the same!

Very underwhelming.
I came here on Memorial Day, and it was a clustermess of people and not one person asked if I needed help with anything… the one time I actually needed help finding something.
This place is highly overpriced. I can go to Office Max, Staples, or Bed, Bath, and Beyond (or a local mom and pop place) for all of my container needs. Or, IKEA (which we all know is my favorite place in the entire world.)
I was hoping that they would have a larger bento/​lunch box collection, or at least one that was organized and easy to find, but alas, I was not impressed.
I really don’t plan on coming back here, the prices are high, and the selection is nothing that I can’t find elsewhere.

Love this store. Years ago, when I used to live in GA, I bought all my friend’s Christmas gifts at the Container Store and they were a HIT. This store is small but well stocked… Many items that just give you great ideas on how to organize your home, office, kitchen, etc.
Associates are nice, helpful and attentive. A big plus !!! Great addition to the Providence metro area shopping.

WARNING: An obsessive compulsive paradise.
They sell a box to put inside the container — that holds the bag that hangs on your rack, in the cupboard, with the peg board organizer.
Legit. If you need it they have it.
Today we went to the Grand Opening, we were not able to enjoy it fully with all the unorganized shoppers, clumsily traipsing around, looking for the components to all those awesome interests they have «pinned» to their «organization» board in cyber space. I being one of them, left with a great new rack to hang my serving utensils from, and a container to house my bag of dog food. I’d say I did pretty well for day one.
They cover most departments including, kitchen, bath, laundry, bedroom, bathroom, office, kids room, closet etc.
The prices were on point for most things. They more detailed or «installed» items were way out of the ball park. $ 1300 for a crafting station, holy-​moly :)
