"The Container Store" is an organization freak's paradise! After I was done pregnant with my son,…read moreI have been doing my motherly duties, plus clearing the junk, cleaning, and reworking the house as my way of exercise. I have to admit that I'm just little bit OCD and this store hits the spot. One of the reasons why I don't visit the store as often as I want to is the price: stuff is generally on an expensive side. However, the quality of most items is solid and the presentation is quite nice. In other words, the entire venue is pretty fun to browse. I would say it's more helpful to know what needs to be done with your organization project, with a feasible plan and clear vision, so that when you are in the store you aren't going to over-spend on things you don't actually need. I like their Lego storage collection. My partner was intrigued by it and tempted to purchase some of the organization items for the Lego pieces. Once again, this organization project can be executed later as the kid grows older and is able to play the toys. Yes, the entire store can be overwhelming to some people. One useful tip is to browse other competition's websites and develop a game plan so that you can budget accordingly. If you are a visual person, I think making your way to a brick-and-mortar location makes everything easier. Like I mentioned previously, you can empty your wallet quickly in the store if you are not careful. You can sign up for their digital coupons that they send out every once in awhile. I have a few gadgets that are on my wishlist. I will come back here when I get a chance. By the way, free parking is available in their own lot. That's definitely a bonus when shopping in the city.

I don't know why this place is consistently a terrible store to shop. I placed an order, went to…read morepick it up with curbside pickup. I called them because when I checked in it said "delayed", but I didn't know if that was what their system was saying because two of the items I ordered apparently weren't in stock. The guy on the phone said that he just saw someone go back so they'd be out shortly. Seven minutes later, they did bring out a curbside order for the car that had come since I was sitting there. At this point I'd been waiting at least 20 minutes so I called back and cancelled the entire order. It was my own naïveté and hope that visiting the most convenient store (since we were in the Loop) might be ok this time. If you have to order from here just do it online.

I appreciated how easy Terri was to coordinate with - she even did a FaceTime with me before the session to give me some organization product ideas. Amy was our organizer on the day and she was lovely to work with. She helped us go through our master closet in a very nonjudgmental and straightforward way. She helped us donate almost 3 bags of items. We plan on working with Terri and her team again and would recommend for anyone to hire her for your organizing needs.

Four Years Later…read more.. The Chicago Organizer is still great at helping me get all of my stuff organized and manageable! After I moved house, I had so many rent-a-crates to unpack and return very quickly. I felt overwhelmed and couldn't move two feet without hitting a box, and unpacking by myself was too slow. I contacted Terri again. Terri couldn't come out to personally help me within my limited window of time, but she has fantastic team members. Kammy came to help me, stayed for just under five hours, and we unpacked every rent-a-crate plus all of the cardboard boxes! There is a little left to do in order to make my new place feel like home, but Kammy's help means that 95% of the work is done. I am so pleased with The Chicago Organizer. Terri and Kammy are kind, professional, quite fair in their pandemic requirements, and most of all -- HELPFUL. Money well spent again!

I'm so glad I called in the pros instead of winging it myself. They walked through the space, asked smart questions about my cooking habits and daily routines, and came up with a layout that actually makes sense. Pots and pans exactly where I reach for them, a pantry system that keeps everything visible, drawers that don't turn into junk catch-alls. It's the kind of organization you don't realize you need until you have it. On top of the great work, they were easy to communicate with and respected my timeline. I'd absolutely book them again for another space in my house.

There was no way we could have unpacked and organized our kitchen and bathrooms over the next few weeks, which is what their team excelled to do in less than a day. Mackenzie was very responsive starting from original quote to appointment day. Because of this they came fully prepared and we feel every minute they used here was optimized to the fullest. It's our first time using this kind of service and Mackenzie, Chloe, Brittany, Mary and Melanie have officially spoiled us for all moves to come. Our home brings us so much joy now.

Having an interchangeable system really is nice and the ability to return or purchase more parts as needed. We only shop for Elfa during the yearly discount sale around winter time :-). Otherwise the pricing is definitely high for low cost IKEA type items. Staff is always friendly and helpful to custom design and point out options that we might not have thought of.

I own a rental condo in Chicago and had Elfa shelving, drawers and hangers for the walk-in closet…read more When I recently renovated and remodeled the unit, I decided to replace Elfa with California Closets for the walk-in closet and another closet. When the CC was delivered, the service installer needed to damage one of the walls for it to fit properly. I was worried that CC would not come back (as promised) to repair the damage, but they did come back for the repair shortly after installation. The unit showed very well with the CC and rented soon after completion of the renovation and CC installation. The CC cost was competitive with comparable products, they follow up if there are installation issues and you get a warranty for any future problems. I would recommend CC to anyone considering a closet renovation for their home or investment property. Thank you. Russ C.

We started…read morethis in July and there were issues prior to installation about a "soffit" that was not accounted for at measurement and at demo. We asked for the shoe closet to go to the ceiling and were persuaded against that. Once installed, in JULY, we reached back out to Jennifer and asked if we could get another shoe row to reach the ceiling and the cabinets above the Murphy deb don't hold open. It is October, do you think we can get a response? A resolution? The work completed? NO. I have sent several texts, emailed and even called to ask what is going on and no response. The gal I spoke to at the store said she would forward my message onto a manager and no response still. To say we are HIGHLY FRUSTRATED is an understatement. We have used CA closets in CA and in NV with zero issues. Here in Chicago definitely do not recommend

The ones that made the cut she created a specific place for them so cleanup is WAY easier since everything has a space! She also labeled shelves with what goes there. She was amazing. Not only did we do the kids area, but we did the kids room, my kitchen (I didn't realize I had 3 full sets of pots and pans!!) my overly full closet, my foyer closet, my second bedroom, and bathroom spaces. She changed my life and now I have so much more clarity and less anxiety since I'm not living in a crowded space. If you are looking to declutter, and develop more systems in your home so that your space makes more sense then Less is More is for you!

She also helped my husband be more selective about his many collections, and helped him feel confident about donating many, MANY items that needed to go.

It's been several weeks since she was here, and the organizing systems Kelly created are still working. We haven't messed anything up yet! I would absolutely recommend Less is More to anyone, and I know I will call on them again for future projects.
