Doesn’t fail-it has the perfect container I need :)

I came into this container store, because I was in the city running errands. The experience that I had in this specific store was so bad, I will never return to it ever again. Let’s start with my cashier Gary. This man rushed was rude, and practically argued with me that they didn’t have my items in stock even though I showed him a picture of the item on the floor. So I then asked him if shipping would be an option. He adds it to my shopping list. So o ask him why it’s so much more money for shipping he said “because that’s how it is” which was unheard of to me. When I explain this he says it doesn’t matter we can’t ship it anyway, because the box is too.By that I’m in tears I’m 8 months pregnant and too sensitive for his attitude. He tells me we can build you one if that’s what you want, but I tell him that would make the item way more expensive. My wife saw my frustration so went and got the item herself. So I ask for the topper he tells me it’s backed up till late November, when the sales girl on the floor had already told me they had it in the back. By now I had reached then end. I gave up and said I don’t want anything in tears. As I was walking away the “manager” came to help. Alejandro I believe his name was had no better customer service skills. I ultimately made my purchase, but I would never return to this store or any container store, as fun as visiting the container store used to be. Any future purchases will be done online.

The Container Store located in the heart of Chelseas main shopping area, in such company as BedBath,&Beyond, and Best Buy across the street.I find the store spacious but cramped, and the merchandise in my opinion is only adequate. Nothing special.However, they did carry a metal shelve that is industrial white in color, and if I have the time after I put it together, Ill spray paint the shelves to whatever color(s) I want.Ive seen better than what the Container Store is offering, and better design.

Large store with wide selection of items. Has a nice sized Elfa design center but be sure to book an advance appointment online as its always busy. The interior organization of the store can be a bit confusing but staff at the entrance should be able to point you in the right direction.

Nice atmosphere to walk around. Alot of nice options for my storage needs. Couldnt make up my mind what I use for nightgowns. Salesperson on floor cheerful, not over pressuring.

This place always seems to have just that one thing you needed for the house. That little shelf or container thats just the right size. Ive gotten 2 sets of elfa systems here and both work great. They also have a nice selection of travel things as well.

Review №14

This place is so wonderful. Its a large store and they are fully stocked with lots of items. I went recently to buy storage containers for my kitchen and kind of had an idea of what I wanted, but when you go to this store it blows you mind with how many options they have.I ended up getting something even better then what I thought I wanted! lolTheir customer service is amazing as well and returns are never an issue.

Review №15

Its great to have a store like this, I just wish the prices were more reasonable. When I compare their products to comprable ones at other stores, I always wonder why the Container Store products are so expensive. That being said, I have picked up some nice things here every so often. I particularly like their plastic hangers - they come in all sorts of fun colors, are well-made and durable, and very reasonably priced. I also find the store good for laundry supplies. However for some items like plastic boxes and totes, I would wait for a sale. Theyre just too costly for what you actually get.

The people who work here were great at helping me in every step of the shopping process, from browsing to checkout. Everyone here helped me find the perfect container product right away! I visited on May 18, 2021, and I really look forward to shopping here again.

Review №17

This is a mecca for the right-brain-oriented person. If you crave organization, this place has the very tools for it. Name the room; they have the boxes, bins, drawers, etc. for it. From the teeny[tiny colored plastic boxes to the large underbed plastic bins and more, youll need to bring a few friends to help you carry it all--or partake of the delivery service, and keep your hands clean. Theres also Click n Pickup. No energy expended except for a walk to the store where every salesperson is helpful and knowledgeable, and comes in all ages!

Don’t ever order an Elfa shelving unit online and expect it to be delivered undamaged. I am writing this review because the “second” replacement order of shelves that arrived are ALL DAMAGED, just like the first order. The shipping packaging or lack there of is a serious QA/QC issue.Frustrating none the less because the shelves are out of stock and now I had to have the project install delayed for my client AGAIN.Very disappointing Container Store and I won’t order online ever again. There are quality control issues with your distribution center if they think they can throw these heavy particle board shelves into an oversized box with zero packaging. Not once, but TWICE. Two shipments, two weeks delayed and still NO SHELVES.

I love this store. They have so many organizational solutions. You name it, they have it. The container store has helped me organize my spaces and customer service is great. I had to return an item and they took it no questions asked. If you’re looking for a high quality organizer, this is the place to go. You can also check store availability on the website if you want to look at online items in-store.

Review №23

I love how The Container Store has products that you dont even realize you need, and in every aisle, you want just about everything...This store is also very well organized.The only negatives are that quite a few items seem over priced, the sales arent great, and there was no one on the floor to ask for help about anything. It could have just been the time of day, but there were hardly any customers either, so it felt a little strange going through a deserted store.The store itself deserves 4 stars, yet being that I circled the entire store twice looking for someone to ask a question about an item, and couldnt find someone, I had to minus a star.I would go back if I cant find that organizational item I need, but I most likely will find it elsewhere, and it will be less expensive.

A spacious store featuring good selection of space saving solutions but with subpar customer service. Brought back a coat hanger broke after the first use but was told the hanger did not last forever without apologizing the poor quality of the merchandise I purchased there.

Helpful staff and every type of container your heart could desire. Not sure why a plastic box costs $20 though. Still, a place to indulge in organizational accessories of every variety.

Review №49

My biggest gripe w them is that they stated there was a 20% discount on the closets. The day I was set to pay I received an email saying 30%. You don’t get anywhere close to these discounts bc their quote is an estimate. (see fine print). Then when u get the $ from them per closet and they agree, somehow the total doesn’t add up. Even when they send it in writing the $ don’t add up. I would go elsewhere.

Review №50

At the online order pick up counter, it is truly bizarre that 1) you are not allowed to also purchase more items, but instead have to go through the normal checkout line, and 2) they are unwilling to just look up your order from your number, name, email, etc. If you have a messy email inbox or a dead phone, it’s unclear how you would ever get your order.

This store is clean, organized, and efficiently run. The staff is helpful. The merchandise is useful for the most part, but like any big box store the layout is carefully designed to make you want things you dont need. Get what you need and get out before you start looking around at all the cool gadgets that youll just have to drop off at goodwill in few months.

What a delightful experience! I needed a replacement part for a wire shelf. Despite not sold at the store, a lady (apparently not from the sales team) went to retrieve the spare parts from the office. She made my day by eliminating the hassle I would have otherwise experienced ordering online and waiting for it. Thank you!

As an owner and organizer of stuff, I love this place. So many containers! In so many sizes! And all so affordable! Ive spent so much money here, and every purchase has been worth the expense. My closet is so fresh and logically arranged now, as its the rest of my home. See you again soon, Container Store.

This place is absolutely addicting - I’ve easily spent an entire month’s paycheck on organization solutions to problems I didn’t know I had. Seriously though, my apartment is so much more organized, the staff are super helpful, and they always have sales happening. With tiny apartments and limited closet space, Container Store keeps me sane.

Review №85

Ask a sale associate MONICA for help and she was rude. She was the cashier who rung me up and gave me attitude my whole transaction and then threw my receipt at me. If I didn’t need what I came in for I would have returned it. I guess because not your usually customer I should get treated disrespectful. I will gladly start to take the long drive to go to my usually store. Container store just lost a customer.

Very clean and well stocked. Lots of great customer service staff on the floor to assist me. The cashier asked me if I wanted another bag to put my comforter storage bag that I just bought or was I going to put it in the bag in my hand? I asked him for a super large bag to store my hood hair dryer in and he gladly gave it to me. That is what I call excellent customer service!!!

Review №91

Slow service, especially by the cashier, they seem to like you waiting in line just to pay and you see lots of other staff doing something else. These staff should be able to do cashiering too especially when theres line of customers who are wasting their time waiting to pay. Not a good site to behold, so I opted to leave the stuff and buy them from online.

I love to put things in boxes so this is the perfect place for me.They have every type of container-thing you can imagine. It’s for the home organization, especially storage space and closet optimization. Space is very expensive in Manhattan, where square footage means everything and getting every little bit out of your apartment can save you a lot of money and plus it’s fun too.
