RANT: The Container Store Underbed Shoe Chest

posted on August 6, 2008 by aylee

I bought the Underbed Shoe Chest from The Container Store to store the shoes that I don’t often wear. I thought it was a good idea to utilize the space under my bed. But do yourself a favor and buy something else.

The Containe Store Underbed Shoe Chest

  • The Underbed Shoe Chest wasn’t “virtually indestructible.” After pulling it out under the bed just a few times, the handle came off.
  • The dividers are only attached to the sides of the storage, not at the bottom. The dividers barely keep the shoes in their place and it was a mess.
  • The spaces between dividers are tiny and only regular shoes fit, not booties or boots.
  • For $14.99, I don’t think it is worth it.

From what I’ve experienced, I would recommend buying a hard shell storage rather than soft vinyl for under the bed. It’s easier to pull and does not get bent out of shape. Some hard shell storage also come with wheels.
