I've been to The Container Store once, way back when I was living in Chicago. This past weekend however, I embarked on my second adventure right here in Columbus. Now, if you happen to be a type A, very organized, clean freak like myself, then this is pretty much the definition of your heaven. First, the store is organized by rooms in a house. For example, they have a kitchen section and a closest section, etc. This is amazing and likely one of my favorite things about this place. I love that I can walk to one corner and easily find what I'm looking for instead of traipsing around for twenty minutes. Second, I found that everything here had pretty reasonable prices. I went to TJ Maxx and Marshall's before heading here and the prices were comparable... at least for what I was looking for. I walked out with a few items for my bathroom and several for my kitchen and it was all for roughly thirty bucks. I went home and geeked out, cleaning both rooms and getting things situated. Pro tip - sign up for their emails and get information on discounts and specials. The first purchase after you sign up gets you %15 off your entire purchase. YASSSSSS! read more

After spending more time at home due to COVID it was the perfect time to tackle the entry way closet. This closet is the closet of nightmares. Filled with unwanted and unused items from years past. Anyway, I digress! After a quick look on The Container Store website my hopes and dreams for this closet appeared. I was able to order all my necessary items. You can chose delivery (free with $75) or pick up at the store. I decided on a platinum Elfa solution for my closet. And the Elfa was 30% off BONUS! I love the shopping in store and the service is always amazing. However, due to the current situation my purchase was made online this time. read more

Went to Container Store to buy small gift boxes, which cost less than $5. Decided to pay with cash since the purchase was so small. Waited in line for 15 min to check out. Why? Only 1 cash register was open and 3 cash registers were unmanned. Watched at least 6 other customers, who were in line behind me, get priority service because they were paying with a debit or credit card. It's obvious the store is going to a cashless self check out system. read more

I felt oh so welcome and the employees showed care and respect for me and my one-legged dog, Spot. My grandpa, who's a part-time wizard (very respectable), loved the place. He said "I sure do love the Container Store, this is the type of store I will never grow tired of." One employee in particular was very helpful to me when I needed assistance on a new project I started. This project would never have been completed without Tom. Tom is a great employee and should be promoted to CEO. The Assistant to the regional manager was another great employee. She showed terrific passion toward the store and all the shoppers. She actually gave my one-legged dog, Spot a dog treat. She was a little flustered by my one-legged dog, Spot's inability to walk, Spot rolled over when and layed down when he got the treat. Thank you, Container Store. read more

Can I just say I love The Container Store? I think I would classify myself as a "frustrated perfectionist ". I mean, I want to be super neat and have everything perfectly organized but I just can't seem to get things as exact as I'd like to. Anyway, I had to run in to get some labels for yet another organization project I am doing. I was unable to locate exactly what I was looking for and just about that time one of their associates came up and asked if she could help me find something. I told her what I was looking for and instead of her pointing or just telling me where it was she took me over and pointed them out and wouldn't you know it was exactly the type I had in mind. I will be able to hook them to the top of the baskets AND they're erasable so I can reuse them! Yay! So I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Unfortunately the husband was waiting for me or I would have spent at least an hour looking around. This is my happy place! If I ever win the lottery (which I don't play) I'm going to spend the first $5000-$10,000 here at The Container Store, just because! read more

The Container Store is a magical place! If you've been to a Container Store in the past, then this location will not offer any great surprises. If you haven't been to one before, then brace yourself for a wonderful organizational experience (if organizing is your cup of tea). The reason that this experience gets only 3 stars is based on just one brief visit my husband and I made to the store this summer. It was his first time in The Container Store in 8 years and he had picked a few little things to purchase. However, when he made his way to the register, the line was 10-15 people long as apparently the POS system had crashed (possibly nationwide based on a conversation that I heard). I totally understand technical difficulties as I myself worked in store retail for several years, but there did not seem to be any sort of backup solution ready to implement when this problem arose. read more

My order has taken over two weeks to ship and now I am worried if I will ever receive my shipment because of the change addresses. I was promised my order to be shipped a max of 14 days after my order was placed. I feel deceived. On the site it says "expect up to two weeks in delay in shipment due to COVID19" do not believe this. I will think twice next time it's been well over 14 days. Don't make promises you can't deliver to consumers. read more

What's not to love? When you need containers, this is the place to get them. I can't think of any other physical store that sells this kind of thing, and sometimes you need to see it to know the quality and size. I wouldn't want to have to shop for this stuff exclusively online. I hope this place stays in business. read more

I LOVE organization :))) This time around, I needed a shower pole with shelves to attach to put in my shower stall. Mission accomplished. This new store (it has moved to a new location within Easton) seems, to me, the same amount of space and decor as the old store. I guess this one has a one-up because you can now see the store from the freeway. read more

I brought my wife here because she was so excited to see the Grand Opening of one of her favorite stores. I always enjoy finding the coolest solutions here. Bring your comfortable shoes because time flies by while you're in there. I found myself gazing at what others had in their cart, and deciding that maybe I need it too. I actually did have a storage need to find elegant towel storage for the guest bath. An associate had 3 good ideas for me. The economical plastic route. The organized, efficient, moderate priced choice. The upscale, more unique, decorative choice. I only found one of those on my own. I wish that I had the exact measurements with me, and the solution would have been decided. Maximum use of space. This place has the best stocking stuffers ever. I took one star away because the best coupons are given to those that sign up and register for all the mailings. Trust me, they come to my house. I can't even imagine how many flood the email also. Only few are great. The rest are mere tokens. The general public gets the best deals from Black Friday thru Christmas. read more

If you've never been in this store... it is just, Wow. I'm sure you've been to a department store looking for specific containers and end up settling on something that doesn't necessarily fit what you wanted. Well, the Container store has got you covered. They have literally every type of container that you will ever want or need. Everything from containers to help you with organizing your closet to containers to help you organize your kitchen. Plus, they have everything in between. Only thing I don't like about this store is that I think it's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. read more

I can't say enough how much I love Container Store. The design, function, and form all merge to the perfect confluence of contemporary style. We just got our second installation of their Elfa shelving after we fell in love with the first. It's nearly possible to configure to your exact needs. Today's visit was topped by having the best salesperson, Alyssa, helping us configure it. She was so patient with us and really jived with our style and personality. She was a rockstar. If they worked on commission, I would totally come see her for our next design. read more

First, I LOVE this store. There are lots of way cool things here to help you get and stay well organized and at a reasonable price. So, why the 1 star? Great question. I stopped in to pick up some glass vials and would you believe that I stood in line for nearly 10 minutes! She waited on someone ahead of me and I cannot fathom how she DID NOT see me. I was the ONLY person in line--the entire time. I watched her tidy up the sales area which, wasn't at all necessary and, by the way it's arranged--impossible not to see the line. I wasn't about to say one word--another customer stood there watching and finally spoke up. At which point, all I got was a huffy attitude. The salesperson tried her best to recover however DAMAGE DONE! Very, very disturbed and disappointed. read more

They have a lot of cool and useful stuff, mostly overpriced. However, I loathe going here when I do need something because of being stalked by the sales staff on the floor. I do not welcome their comments about what I'm looking at when cornered in an aisle. I do not then want to be peppered with questions about what "project" I might be working on. Super uncomfortable. It's a success in my book if I go here at a time when they are busy enough that I can dodge the salespeople. If you do ask for something they don't have, it's always interesting to see the salespeople try to talk you into something that they do have. Like, no. I want what I want. If you don't have it, say we don't have it and STFU. Of course if you do dodge the salespeople on the floor, then you're accosted at the register, asking for information you don't want to give and told about sales and other offers - no thanks, I just want to pay and GTFO of this store and away from you annoying people. Damn. read more

This week my husband and I took a trip to Cincinnati to go to the Ikea store there. I told my husband I wanted to stop at the Container Store in Easton and see if I could find some plastic, lidded containers for some storage in our grandson's room. We stopped in at the store and I found just what I was looking for (I knew I could find it at the Container Store!) and we checked out and left. Well, what I did NOT know was that while I was checking out my husband laid my clipboard with my Ikea list and all the info I needed for my shopping trip up on the counter and put my cart away. Not knowing it was up on the counter, I did not look for it and we headed for Cincinnati. We stopped to eat lunch a couple exits before the exit for Ikea and that is when I discovered the clipboard was missing! I was not happy to say the least! Everything I needed to know, and it was pretty extensive, was on that clipboard. So I got out my receipt, saw the store phone number and called. The manager answered the call and I explained my dilemma and asked for a huge favor. Could he please read off my list for me? Very kindly, he did so. I told him he rescued our trip and expressed my gratitude. In my opinion, he went above and beyond in his customer service to me with his kind and generous attitude. He then informed me he would put the clipboard in his office and I could pick it up the next time I was in the Columbus area. I was able to stop on my way home and his employees kindly retrieved it for me. I have always liked the Container Store, and I will tell everyone how kind he was to me. In my humble opinion, he deserves some sort of commendation and recognition for his excellent customer service. read more
