    The Container Store in El Segundo, CA (I love this section) 11/7/21
    Jenni M.

    This Container Store is conveniently located in El Segundo, CA, at Plaza El Segundo. The plaza lot provides ample, free parking even during Christmastime. I used to really enjoy walking inside to get ideas for organization and storage. I'd take photos of the items including their dimensions to see how they size up in the spaces at home. Then I'd come back for purchases. I also loved looking at all the gadgets and random stuff everywhere. Things that I thought existed, yet, never saw any other big box place, could be found at this Texas-headquartered retail store. Usually service was good, but the last couple of times I came in they were either swamped with other customers or too busy to assist little ol' me. Not even a word was said to me until I got the counter my last visit. I'm not in a rush to order anything online or curbside pickup from them as my experience has been terrible thus far.

    I needed to return a wedding gown storage box and found the staff so friendly and helpful with my return. We talked about father and daughter wedding planning and weddings in general. After my return, I had a chance to walk through the store and realized it is more than boxes that they provide. The store is well laid out, with closet organization and decoration ideas I would have never thought of. With this fresh look at storage and organization, you know that I will be doing spring cleaning, once it officially arrives. If you enjoy a super clean shopping experience, the Container Store is probably the best for your home shopping needs!

    Mixed feelings here. I love the container store, and I really like this location. The staff is amicable, and the store is always stocked and organized. My complaint is more with the Elfa product process. This is not the staff's fault. They did wonderfully. It's the new company process. My husband and I have been buying Elfa closets for many years and truly love them. They used to offer installation where everything was brought to your home and installed. That's it! Now you have to correlate pickup of your closet either by Dolly or yourself and then pay a percentage of the total cost to install it. We found this process to be highly taxing. The other issue is the store's policy on picking up items. It's all very complicated, to say the least.

    See all

Returns within 30 days for a full refund, or store credit after that time. Note that they charge 10 cents for paper bags now.

I placed all my items on the counter. I turned around and saw those big bags from the store that cost 99 cents. So i grabbed 2 and placed them on the counter along with the rest of the items I'm buying. The cashier said... "I'm not a mind reader, are you buying those" Completely rude and unprofessional. I looked at her with shock because I couldn't believe she said that. Is it NOT obvious that I'm buying them since i placed them on the counter along with the rest if the items I was buying. I simply said yes. I tried to see her name tag so I could complain to the manager but surprise surprise... no name tag. So all i have is her cashier#:1121 number from the receipt.

That guy's customer service was off the chain, and it was always a pleasure to greet him. Regretfully, his name escapes me. Should I find out upon another return, I'll be sure to edit and update this particular review. Many times when I've come in here, I'm always asked by a staff member whether or not I want some fresh water. They usually have or keep a nice jar with some fresh lemons already squeezed ready to keep you hydrated. It's a nice touch. And while the price of seemingly all the products here are somewhat well; pricey, you can't help but feel at home, plop down, and people watch for a bit especially if you get lucky and get one of the couches or love seats that face outward toward the mall foot traffic. And while my mother is more of a customer at this particular location than I am, I have purchased products here before and have always come away happy with the results. I would highly recommend anyone who is in need of these type of home type furnishings to come to this particular location, as the overall customer service has always been on point. Their love chairs in particular always seem to be of a higher quality, and their couches are right behind them. You really can't go wrong choosing anything in here from the candles on up!

They unboxed my husband's chair and it was broken. They set up the oversized chair, which so far is fine. The pull out sofa bed was set up as well. The ottoman was not in the delivery. Within one week the sofa was broken. Screws and hinges popped off. Husband contacted West Elm and they told him a part would be ordered or a new couch ordered by May. So, he does not have a chair to sit in, we cannot fold the bed up since it is broken so our living room is not usable, and we do not have any guarantee that this issue will be resolved anytime soon. I do not recommend this company. Prices are high and you do not get what you pay for. Customer service is non existent and quality of product is poor.

When they arrived, the finish was extremely yellow and did not match how they were represented online, so we returned them in the exact condition they were received. West Elm only issued a partial refund, not even the cost of one sconce. After calling customer service three separate times, they refused to refund the remaining balance, claiming they only received one item. Here's the problem: The original order itself was confusingly labeled "1 of 2," and the return label they provided said "1 of 1." We followed their instructions exactly and returned both sconces. Their internal scanning or labeling error is not our responsibility. Despite this, West Elm refused to resolve it, forcing us to contact our bank to dispute the charge. This experience felt incredibly shady and frustrating. Between misleading product photos and poor customer service that refuses to take accountability, I will not be ordering from West Elm again. I strongly recommend others be cautious, especially when ordering multi-item sets or making returns.
