I went in to buy a sensible gift for a white elephant exchange I will be attending. The price point…read moreis $20. I was disappointed in what that could buy me in this store, it seemed overpriced to me. The "homemade" looking crafts and signs were all made in China, etc., and given pricey markups. Why not support local craft vendors who can make these beautiful items with quality and give back to the community? Secondly, and MORE importantly, when you walk into the store, there is a strong smell that hits you as soon as you're in. It's hard to identify, but it has a cigarette and mildew smell to it, and it was throughout the store; possibly coming from the ventilation system. I tried to get over it as I walked around the store, but I just couldn't stand it any more. When I left, I had a sore throat and a headache. Not sure what's up with that, but an allergic reaction for sure. I don't think I'll be going back to this store for these two reasons.

You can tell she has a passion for fashion! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to update their wardrobe! They buy items on Tuesday and Wednesday. Items must be on hangers.

Cons: - You'll probably buy too much. - A little disorganized and cluttered in some areas. - Has a slight litter box odor in there. This place is really big. One area is a little chilly because it's in part of the warehouse so dress appropriately. Have fun shopping!

Prices are reasonable, however, some of the display case items and new in package items are a bit wild for what they are. (Ex, a scar figure from the lion king new in box that was about 4 inches tall and not worth much to behind with being 10 bucks!) but that's just my opinion. Great place to stop in.

45 minutes in line to donate items. This is not the first time. There are so many other places to…read moredonate, this will be my last time here. Ridiculous. No sense of urgency. One car at at a time. There should be multiple cars cued up and people taking 2-3 cars of items at a time. For a company that is taking my items and making money, this is terrible. This can be so much better, but it is nothing but a disaster. Find somewhere else to take your items.

This is also another good spot to find containers, generally…read more I walked around the entire length of the store and up and down every aisle. Found some glass jar containers with metal lids on them, but the glass is much heavier than I was hoping for. Still on the hunt for a tin container with a see-through lid and secure clasp. Also looking for a container that is big enough to hold about 6 quarts of snacks and items. Found some OXO Pop plastic containers, but once again would prefer a tin container. Keep on looking...

Text convo with a friend this evening:…read more Me: Unrelated to anything I just spent 2 hours at the Container Store and have never been happier. Friend: Wherever we can find peace! Ahh, peace. I don't know the meaning of the word. Though I'm trying! As a maximalist gal with ADHD in a small house I'm forever in search of an organizational and functional storage plan I can stick with. Through much introspection and many self help books I recently realized my issue is "if I can't see it, it doesn't exist." Which means I'm forever buying cans of black beans when what I really need is great northern and constantly getting takeout because "there's nothing in this house to eat." So, with this new clarity in hand, I've taken to overhauling my kitchen in the new year. And the Container Store has been clutch in providing solutions to my storage issues. A pantry that requires a step ladder to reach? How about a pull down spice rack? Deep drawers without dividers? How about stacking bins so I can use the vertical space, too? Expired baking ingredients from the last time I tried to reorganize but didn't realize until it was too late that the jars I put everything in don't stack effectively, leaving a teetering mess I've been afraid to disturb? How about a baking pantry storage set with equal sized widths for easy stacking? (And built in brown sugar softeners and powdered sugar sifters, too! Be still my heart!). Weird corner cabinets that are deep caves of awkward, oft unused space? Why not some pull out shelving storage? And so much more! Jar openers! Lemon keepers! Fancy pens! NOTEBOOKS AND PLANNERS! Omg. I haven't even begun to talk about the craft storage. What's not to love??? Well, ok. I guess the prices. Which can be high. But they carry many solutions I can't find anywhere else so sometimes I have to bite the bullet and pony up. I do my best to try and stick to their in-house products to save a bit of scratch tho. And becoming a rewards member will net you some solid coupons now and again. In fact, today I happened to have a 25% off coupon so I stocked up on those deep drawer organizers. It took me a while to find the right combo/configurations for our unusually sized cabinetry but I think I figured it out thanks to the countertop they have with grids to help you easily measure. Very handy. Staff here is lovely and ever so helpful. It's never a cheap visit here but it's always a beneficial one. And hey, thanks to my new pantry risers and lists of items we have taped to the inside door (another new trick!) I now know we have 7 cans of black beans, 4 of which are low sodium, and the last time I went to the grocery I got the right beans at last.

Tons of great locally made goods from some amazing Michigan makers like Glass Action (stained glass jewelry) City Bird (tea towels and such made by the awesome shop in Detroit), Midwest Supply Co (cute mugs and such) and more. Lots of vendors I recognize from local craft fairs like Detroit Urban Craft Fair and/or DIYpsi. But year round! There's accessories, home decor, candles, artwork, skin care, and even a little bit of clothes. Perfect for a gift for someone else or a treat for yourself. There was a also a super lovely woman was behind the counter when we popped in too. Not sure if she's the owner but she was incredibly welcoming.

The selection of the items I wanted was decent enough (Monroe usually has a better selection but I was in the area) and the shelves for the middle were pushed so close to the end caps you couldn't fit a cart through there without lifting the back end up and over. During checkout the cashier was super nice however the older lady was once again rude.

If everything is the path we want for every kind of hobby, time usurping activity you could imagine. It is fun just browsing the store isles and shelf, there's so many things it's quite outstanding. You'll be hard to not find something that you need for whatever crafts on your table. This is the only location I'm aware of around me and it's still about 45 minutes away from my house.
