Product Feature: The Container Store's Long Underbed Box with Wheels

Here’s today's dilemma:

Not enough storage space for the kids’ blankets and toys.  The closet isn’t really an option and there is already a tight budget that won’t allow for additional shelving.  What’s one solution?

Under the bed storage!

The Container Store carries these under-bed storage containers called, 

“Long Underbed Box with Wheels” and they are the Product Feature of the day.

 

Product Claims:

"Utilize the storage space under your beds with our Long Underbed Box with Wheels. Designed and molded to our exacting specifications, our box is made from clear, virtually unbreakable polypropylene to provide uncompromised visibility of the contents. Each box features an easy-open, locking lid and wheels that can be installed to allow the box to roll in either of two directions. The extended length allows you to store oversized and extra long items with ease.

Made from the clearest, virtually unbreakable, acid-free polypropylene available"

Does it really live up to its claims?

Yes, it does!  

Features I like:

•  The size- It fits perfectly under the bed without wasting space or preventing additional boxes to join the ranks.  We can fit 4 under 1 twin-sized bed.   One online reviewer said that he could fit 6 under his queen-sized bed.
  

• Wheels-The wheels are very low profile so the box isn’t too tall.  They help move the box easily and effortlessly. 
• It’s Clear- I really like to see what’s in the container.  This is even more important when it’s under a kid’s bed that is too young to read the label “Blankets” versus “Cars and Trucks.”  
• Comes with a Lid- The lid fits nicely, is very durable (as our family has proved), and opens to the middle for easier access to things inside.  Plus, it cuts down on dust!
• Versatile- We chose to store bedding and toys.  But, the possibilities are endless.  You could store shoes, sweaters, wrapping supplies, and more. 
• Durable- My kids have stepped on-top of the box with the lid on, inside the box, thrown the lid, and more.  We try to limit the amount of abuse it takes; but kids will be kids. :) It still looks great and works just as good as the day we purchased it. 
• They're on sale now!  In case you're also looking for a great deal, they are on sale for a great price. 
• TIP:  If these are a  bit higher than your space allows, try a bed riser to raise the bed a few inches.
