Review on Whitmor Clear Zippered Storage for 25 Rolls Gift Wrap Organizer - 1 Pack by Kevin Tompkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reduces the footprint and the hassle of storing in traditional plastic bags!

I used to keep wrapping paper in a plastic bag under my bed, which was a big problem. This is a MUCH better method for me because I can easily see all the rolls, they don't crumple under the weight of other stuff I stuff into a plastic organizer, and I have the ability to store them upright in a closet. (Or I could always tuck it under my bed if I wanted to!) Some reviews complained that it wasn't strong on its own — well, it's a plastic bag. Once you put a few rolls in it, it will stand up well on its own (as my photo shows). I was able to fit 17 standard reels here and there is still room for more. The plastic is quite thick and protects the reels from dust well. The only comment I would like to make about durability is the zipper - it did what cheap zippers do when the zipper track opens even when it should be closed. But I was able to fix it by being able to unzip and rezip it. I think with prolonged use it might break one day, but for the price I really don't care! The straps seem strong enough to be hung and I love that it can be hung vertically but worn horizontally. Very versatile and comfortable. Overall this seems like a much better option for storing reels in less space and easier access for me. I'm very glad I went this route!
