Review on πŸ“¦ Efficient Under Bed Storage Solution: Simple Houseware 2 Pack Bin, Black by Arlene Byrd

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Rough zipper and needs a bottom insert to keep its shape.

You get what you pay for. I knew they wouldn't be top notch because they were cheap. These are the first under bed storage boxes I've bought so I have no experience with other types or brands. That being said, they're a little disappointing for those reasons. They're all fabric (except for the clear vinyl upper) with no panels that could give them any shape; It's actually just a rectangular bag with a zipper. I cut the boxes and stuck them in the bottom so they hold their shape when not full. It was a problem pushing them under the bed onto the carpet when not full. Cardboard was of great importance.2. They have a handle on one end and a handle on one side, so make sure you put them under your bed so you can access the handle.3. Zippers are very difficult to get around the four corners, so be prepared to spend some time zipping and unzipping them every time you attach them. That's actually my worst complaint. If you intend to use them frequently, I would recommend a different brand/type.4. A place to put a label would be a big improvement so you don't have to pull it out every time you need a reminder of what's kept where. I'll try to label them myself but I doubt the label will stick to the fabric. I could use a drawing pen. On the good side. 1. Because they have no internal support, they will fold up a bit if you have less than 6 inches of room to stow them. And I like the 30 inch length because it fits most sofas too.2. They seem to be quite error resistant. Although tiny bugs could probably invade them.3. I love the see through top because I can see what's inside without having to fight their zippers. But overall I would buy a different brand/type next time.
