The Container Store in other cities:
Where to begin, I placed my order at the beginning of October. Pick up was scheduled beginning of November (Long lead time due to Covid-19) I called the day of because I hadnt received a notice that my order was ready. After talking to an employee I was told 5 items I ordered were not in yet. At this point I was frustrated that without taking it upon myself to call I would of traveled 2 hours there to find my order incomplete. So after rescheduling a pick up for after all items were scheduled to be in, I make another call to verify that my order is complete and ready for pickup. This time Im told 2 items were missing and that they had no estimate of a pick up time for my order. I explain that Im 2 hours away and I need at least an idea of when it will be ready, the employee got annoyed and said she would have someone go pick the order but they have 80 I repeat 80 orders to pick that day. So I head up to pick up my order and call about 30 minutes before arrival to make sure my order is ready, this time a different employee handles the call and tells me 1 item is missing. I inform her that I would like to cancel the remaining items that are not ready due to it being about 2 months since I placed the order. She said she did see a note saying that an employee had called to inform me that my order was not ready and I agreed to a later pick up time. I told her that was not the case and it was I that called and the employee laughed about it. I arrived picked up my order and left and it will be the last time I do business with The Container Store. If you value your time and appreciate good customer service I would certainly advise staying far away from this place.
Julie and Bob - consultants at the Novi, MI Container Store helped my wife and I TRANSFORM our pantry storage from disaster to a work of art! We more than quadrupled our storage capacity within the SAME AMOUNT OF SPACE. They spent a ton of time with us (no charge), answered every question, and helped us purchase great solutions. The Elfa products they recommended are fantastic. They are not rock-bottom cheap but theyre affordable. Ive tried Home Depot and Ikea stuff and the solutions the Container Store carries are much higher quality AND easier to install. I HIGHLY recommend the Container Store (look for Julie and Bob).
Ask my wallet how much I love this place! Its row upon row of stuff you never knew you needed until you saw it. Or those things you always wanted, but never knew actually existed. Or 21st century upgrades to household items that are way older than your current house (and, yes, thats last century for some of us). Truth told, just browsing is a blast. But good luck getting out without buying something; its hard to contain yourself. Sorry, I had to.
I think this store concept is amazing. Ive gotten so many things there, its great. Its (obviously) well organized. Its easy to buy, and return (we had one product that was broken when we bought it, reason for the 4 stars and not 5). The people have always been nice and easy to deal with - and they have just about everything you can think of for storage solutions.
Amazing store with amazing employees. I stopped in last week to see if they had any shelving units to organize my collection of fidget spinners, and by golly do they have everything here! I came in only looking for one thing and ended up leaving with a lot more than I even knew I needed! A nice young woman at the store named Kendra helped me find an assortment of sticky notes and planners that my wife Sharon just loved (it was her birthday yesterday, happy birthday Sharon). The staff was friendly and I will definitely be coming back soon.
I wish I could give it zero stars. I did my dimensions for a closet from my home on Sunday. The system told me to schedule a call or to go into a store and go over my design. I went to the store at 2 oclock. There were three employees that were there to help design. Although they could find my name and my design numbers in the system. They did not have any dimensions that I inputted. I was told they did not have access to that. I questioned why they told me to come in without telling me that I needed to write down my dimensions, as the dimensions I am put it in the system apparently are not available at the stores. They said that was a flawI then drove home, made the measurements, and returned two hours later at 4:10 PM. I was told that there was only one worker working at that time and I would have to come back at 5 PM.I do not know whether or not they have a good design, but I went there for convenience and instead wasted a lot of timeAt the end, the employee, who by the way was very friendly, said I should really tell someone about it. I am sure she meant that I should sell upper management or their corporate office, but it is a lot easier to tell everyone through yelp.Out of principle, I will never go there again. If they go out of business, it is a good idea ( container store), and I hope a competent organization will fill their void
I love this store and the friendly, helpful people there. It looks great, so I thought maybe it was over priced, so I took a couple in-store pictures of two products that I liked. Later I compared the items and prices at another store and found them to be less expensive by a few dollars each. Cool! Its back to The container Store...Judy W.
Waaaay over priced items. The dollar store has many of the same items.Case in point - $36 for an aluminum water bottle.Purchased a better bottle for $3 at Michaels next door.The store is extremely clean and well stocked and staff very helpful.Just astronomical prices.
Has potentially EVERYTHING/ANYTHING one could ever need for organizing...kitchen, closet, pantry, storage areas, crafts...clothes, suits/dresses, shoes. Will pay the cost! From time to time youll get great deals but i havent seen them advertised anywhere but the store.
The prices are steep, but you get what you pay for, and you need a plan for organizing before going and purchasing products. After getting married last summer, I needed solutions for combining two households and living in a tiny apartment. The Container Store had everything I needed to devise a solution, and the products are still in great condition after daily use for a year.
We couldn’t be any happier with our experience at the Novi Container Store. We brought in some photos and dimensions when we first stopped in the store. Within minutes, Ashton had a great Elfa design to show us for our master closet. We went back home, fine tuned some dimensions and made decisions based on some preferences Ashton had asked us to think about. We decided to wait until May when the install would be free. Carrie followed up with us as we approached the time frame we needed. She and Ashton worked as a team and we could always contact either one of them when we needed to. Their enthusiasm for the product and the store made us feel confident that the results would be very satisfactory to us. We knew we could save by doing it ourselves but after seeing the amount of work & time it took Kurt and Brian to do the install, we were happy we put it in their hands. They were professional and very respectful of our wood floors and new carpeting and they took pride in us being satisfied with our new master closet too.We were more than satisfied! We are extremely pleased with the personnel, the products and the installation. Our only regret is that we waited so long to make this change. Our closet has never looked so good!
This place has a container or storage compartment for any and everything you are wanting or needing to contain, store or organize. This place is filled to the brim with any and every colored container you can think of. I found it to be quite overwhelming to be honest.This place will most likely have what you are looking for (or so it seems), but you may find that the pricing here is a bit steep compared to other places that sell similar items (especially online).The store is clean and well kept, and (despite having a massive inventory) pretty well organized. The staff is also friendly and professional. I would say shop around because of the pricing, but if youre in a pinch...I am betting you will be able to find what you need here.
Went to this store for the first time had a bad experience with the worker working in the store that was totally uncalled for. So I made a purchase today, everything was all good. I leave The Container Store and end up finding the same item for dollars less. So I return to The Container Store to return the item and the lady working the register gave me a problem questioning me why I was returning the item making a big deal like the item was only 10 dollars why are you returning it. Well my reason was I found the same item for less and yeah a clerk suppose to ask but not argue with you about a return and mumble like they look suspicious. I will never shop at this The Container Store again just because I feel that was wrong.
Feels totally organized the moment you walk in! Chat with the people here, no doubt they will help you find a solution for your organizing needs anywhere in your life! My favorite part is the slide-out grid surfaces so you can get the perfect trays or dividers for any shape container or drawer.
This store has a great selection even though I wasnt able to find a specific item that I was looking for. Staff wasnt really helpful considering that I was in the store for 20 minutes and walked pass multiple associates but zero ever uttered a word to me to offer assistance or just to say hello.
Finally a place to escape the peasants. Fellow Sophisticant, have you ever dreamed of buying your boxes and bags without having to deal with the peasants that actually care about pricing? Then this is the place for you. $200 for a shelving unit you can buy at Home Depot for $65? No problem. How about $15 for shoe boxes that sell for $6 at Meijer? If you heat your mansion with stacks of money, as I do, this is the place for you. It is a glorious place to shop, and the help are so well trained, we didnt see them anywhere until we needed them to take our piles of money. In short, let the lower classes shop for Deals and Value; You and I dont have time for such things.
Waited 3 weeks for an order , to only call and find out that the item was never order during my visit at the Novi Mi Location , the person who answered the phone kept accusing me of not paying for the item , after I was told during order that I was billed .. never apologized or offered solution, so I returned items purchased .. they asked zero question during refund process .. Horrible Customer Service Skills

2022-03-27Clean, organized and well staffed store. Variety of items and most are high quality. I own several kitchen bins, food storage containers, waterproof totes and misc kitchen storage/cleaning items. My favorite are the waterproof trunks which I use to store my clothes that get switched out with the seasons. Plan to move soon and my most precious items will be stored and moved in those types of bins. Never had a issue with bugs or anything else for that matter being able to breach the container. Highly recommend for your storage and organizational needs!

2022-07-03The survey I responded to didnt give me the correct option as to how I ordered the 2 closets so Im doing that here. I called the store and Lara helped me by designing 2 closets for me based upon answers to the questions she asked. I love both closets!!!! Everything about the experience was easy and successful. Recommend using a design person to help with the process.

2022-05-10Found the exact sort of laundry bin that I’ve been looking for. Prices are comparable with other home stores that I’ve been to (example: At Home, Home Goods). Will definitely be back

2021-10-13What can I say, I have been obsessed with this store since it opened. Its one of my happy places. They have a nice variety of items in a good range of prices for closets, offices, kitchens, and more. Ive found some really interesting items sourced from around the world. Definitely join their POP loyalty program as they send coupons frequently. Their online order and pickup always works well, and make sure to check out the clearance section in the back of the store for good deals. Happy organizing!

2021-12-20I been shopping here for many years and time to leave a review. I love this store! I came upon this store while working in Indianapolis. One day I had some time to kill and decided to go in this store! Wow! The store is clean and well organized and an organizers dream! How have I gotten through life without some of these things. The things I love the most are the different colored containers...pink, green, orange, etc. I love pink and cant get enough of the pink containers! The container store sells many name brands such as Poppin, Bigso and others. These prices are the same no matter where you buy them and they are not sold at Meijers or Walmart! I find the prices reasonable and no you cannot get comparable items at your local discount store! Anyways, I love the atmosphere of this store, walking up and down the aisles thinking how an item can be used and wishing I could use it in some way. The selection is unbelievable! Ill gladly pay extra for this experience! Also, great office supplies selection! Staff is always great, cant tell you if every employee I passed in the store said hi to me, because thats not important to me. When I did need help, I reached out to an employee and never had a bad experience!

2017-09-16Its well organized and clean but thats about it. Just go to home depot. This place is 2x-3x more than what you can expect to pay anywhere else. A single Mason jar can cost as much as a set from any other store. Not to mention the clientele are very pretentious. I understand how buying overpriced containers to show off to the Joneses can give you a huge sense of importance. Its almost as important as this picture of my ferret.
