Review on Elf Stor 40 inch Tall Green Wrapping Paper Storage Box - Model 83-DT5518 by Michelle Sun

Updated mid December 2021 after owning/using it for two years. I stand by my original observation that this is a good product that is well made. It's still great because it stands upright and saves a lot of space. BUT. It's just useless. General.1. It doesn't really fit a 40" roll of paper - they stick out at the top. Don't even bother with 42 inch rolls. The top doesn't stay on. No matter how hard you try. It's thin and its sides only drop 1 inch, so it can barely stick to the box itself. There are no zippers, buttons, velcro, etc. to keep the top down. 3. An inner grid of cardboard to keep the rolls upright is beyond useless. To the point where it makes almost everything worse. It's flimsy and flimsy, the same cardboard used in shirt boxes or donut boxes. No structural rigidity. What I'm saying is that the buns are all drunk leaning in all directions - not standing upright. 4. The storage box has no rigidity. ?) , it wiggles and wobbles everywhere and protrudes from the storage surface and doesn't hold a square shape which contributes to the uselessness of the reel splitting grid inside and the reels tilting in all directions. Look inside to lay a roll if not using a flashlight or phone. I continue to regret this purchase and this will be the last year we will have one. Can not recommend the purchase and warn other buyers against it. Original post December 2021: First of all this is a GOOD product, solid, strong, durable and well made. It is EXCELLENT as it stands upright and doesn't take up much space. Design and utility, on the other hand? This is another story.1. First, measure your rolls of paper: This box is only 40" tall - it doesn't fit many rolls of wrapping paper. Yes, I know it's in the item description - I just want readers to measure their roles. wrapping paper first. 2. The inner "mesh" of cardboard is WAY too small. It only goes up about 12 inches in the box. So your paper rolls are not held upright; they squirt everywhere.3. The top doesn't stay put. No matter how hard you try. It's thin and its sides only drop 1 inch, so it can barely stick to the box itself. There are no zippers, buttons, velcro, etc. to keep the top down. 4. It's not easy to look for shorter roles. .5. It is difficult to prevent the rolls from tearing when loaded. Thus, it is a well-made product but difficult to use. I regret that and would have preferred one of the "lying" gift wrap containers. It is entirely my fault that I chose this product; I had to choose one of the 'pockets' or containers that open at the top when placed on their long side. My point and recommendation in this review is that the end user should think very carefully about how they are going to use this.
