I have clutter everywhere. I have bills from 6 months ago, papers, I leave earrings lying around where i take them off, i leave my shoes in the middle of the room, i am unable to corral myself or get ahold of stuff, I was meant to live in a monastery. Having said that, I am also a bit of a hoarder, since that pair of socks that is 1.99 is so cute I buy it even though I have 20 others already. So when my brother and his wife and their kids came to stay I was worried I couldnt clean up in time, its a very small apartment. I had to downsize from a large house and never learned how to re-organize, meaning, nothing really has a home where it can be put away yet. So, I ordered a ton of these collapsible boxes, thinking that after my family left I could empty them again and store them easily if I didnt want them. But oh my gosh, what a great decision! I got them the day before my family arrived, opened them up in 3 seconds, they are easy to open and there is a firm piece of cardboard that you press down internally as a base. It is also encased in fabric, well done. The pattern on these boxes is so lovely, so discreet, subtle, but classic, and goes with everything. I bought all the colors, many of each, (this is typical of me, I could not decide which colors would be best, and sometimes things look different in person than on the screen.) And I love them all. They are absolutely essential. I spent literally 2 hours putting every loose thing in my apartment into these boxes and then putting these boxes onto shelves. In 4 hours my nightmare apartment looked chic and orderly and feminine without being cloying or trendy. It is INCREDIBLE what a difference it makes to just put something in a box like this instead of in a cardboard box or even a heavy wicker box that takes up too much space. The fabric on these is easy to clean as well, it has a slightly textured but not visually apparent sheen that I am guessing is a polyester blend. The fabric is not removable, but can be wiped clean by a microfiber cloth easily. The surface of the boxes seems to repel dirt and dust and they look sharp and crisp and clean for a long time. I cant say enough about these boxes. They are not heavy and sturdy but rather very lightweight, but having said that, I filled one with tuna fish and dog food cans and placed it on an exposed pantry shelf beside another filled with baking ingredients and they both hold up well given that they are supported on either side by a wall and the other box, and the handle makes it easy to pull out half way to see the contents, but I wouldnt pull it all the way out, the box cant take that much weight on its handle or base. I love that its sides are rigid without being hard, since I can overstuff them with clothes that dont fit me in my closet shelves. Will I ever be organized No. Will I empty these boxes in 5 years and find a retainer, a broken pair of sunglasses, a single glove, a thank you note that was never mailed, baby wipes even though my kids are grown, a mug, 76 pens and pencils, countless catalogs, pennies, a love letter that was never opened, fingernail clippers and an urgent jury duty notice Yes. As well as many other things I didnt think I could live without and have no idea where they are right now. But until then, I feel so much more calm, and the esthetic value of my environment has made me happier for very little investment. If youre looking for an immediate fix to a clutter problem before you actually have the skills or gumption to organize, these may help you the way they did me. They look intentional, grownup, and serve a vital function at a low cost. MOST IMPORTANTLY, they will raise your self-esteem. Honestly, if there were more colors, Id buy more. What about pink for a girls bedroom and yellow or light blue for the bathroom Gray would be good as well since thats a timeless color...to store towels or tissues...
