Review on πŸ“¦ HOPABTO Oxford Frame Storage Box: 72L 2pcs, Large Clothes Bins for Comforters, Bedding, Blankets - Double Opening Foldable Organizer Containers (Gray) by Marc Burke

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The closet looks great. Plenty of room for blankets/quilts/shoes/etc.

Lately I've had the task of organizing my closets. In the past, their floors were littered with layers of blankets in plastic bags and flip flops, shoes and hats. I wanted a large storage box to keep all my flip flops and summer shoes organized throughout the winter. and I had a light summer blanket and two cowboy hats. Anyone who has owned a cowboy hat or two knows that it can be quite difficult to stow it away in a closet so that it doesn't get crumpled and crooked. Within minutes I filled the first basket with my entire flip. Flip flops and espadrilles, slippers and Converse low-top sneakers. It was hard to believe how many of these I have. and how dirty the floor in my closet was. It seemed to me that I was always looking for matches in heaps. Now they are all in one place and I can easily access them through the zip on the side or top. My summer blanket in the spare room folded easily, leaving enough room for my cowboy hats. They were now protected from the dreaded imbalance during storage. They're pretty durable. If you don't load them too heavily you can probably add up to 5 pounds. one above the other. The wire frames really make them look amazing. those without a wire frame don't look as consistent and organized, and the content is better protected. The material is also quite durable. although personally I'm less of a fan of the pattern as it appeared online. The color and the pattern make it look a bit cheap and plastic. I'd rather have a solid gray or tan than a criss-cross checkered pattern on it. The zippers are pretty strong too and I'm not worried about them going off the rails as long as you don't over-stuff the bins. The wire frame protrudes slightly through the side opening, which can make it difficult to slide duvets and blankets in and out easily from the side. I have several similar units from other manufacturers where the wire frame doesn't get in the way of the zippered side entry door. However, this is not that big of a problem. The material is a plastic-like canvas, although I don't detect a strong plastic smell, which is nice. They protect your stuff from dust but you have to make sure what you put inside is 100% dry otherwise it may get moldy if you keep it all season long. well worth the extra price compared to the bulky unarmoured wire system. They are supplied flat and can easily be stored flat if required. I love how they organize my closet. they can take a lot! This is a fantastic size for duvets, shoes, clothes, pillows etc. I will be buying more of these.
