    Elfa closet system designed by Debbie at the San Jose location.
    Richard L.

    Debbie Arce is the designer of the Elfa closet systems at the San Jose Container Store. She was very professional and did a fantastic job of designing a system that maximized the space in our closet. Debbie was very helpful with our virtual consultation and stayed in contact prior and after the installation to make sure everything was seemless. As for the installation, Andy and his partner were actual Container Store employees. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were not contractors. Andy and his partner were done in less than an hour and cleaned up very neatly. I couldn't believe how nicely they put the boxes away. The Elfa system is very functional and reasonable. I had an appointment scheduled with California Closets and cancelled it, because my girlfriend and I were so impressed with Debbie's presentation and the functionality of Elfa. With everything completed we have not one regret. I would recommend Elfa, Debbie and The Container Store San Jose to anyone.

    We were in need of an upgrade for closets and decided to go with the Elfa Decor design at the Container Store. We saw that they did free designs, decided to try it out, and honestly after my first appointment with Debbie - I was so happy that she was not only so helpful, but also soooo soooo patient. I recall the first time we had our appointment, I didn't come to a conclusion on what I wanted and needed a second appointment - she was more than happy to accommodate and go over more options and designs with me. The next few times around when I needed a closet for my brother and parent's closet, I knew what I wanted and the design processes were relatively quick. We had a few sessions back and forth over email with some visual screenshots and she was able to quickly put the order together for me! Each time was more and more swift and painless - and she's just honestly been such a joy to work with! Shout out to you Debbie! Thank you so much! c: We love our closets!!! Outside of Debbie - the staff in general is always very helpful and kind. There were a few instances where I had to do a couple of exchanges based on some re-configurations post-design & post-closet setup, but the staff was more than accommodating of my changes and was super helpful when needing them to help me find the right items! One thing on the product though - if you're planning on doing DIY for your Elfa closet, I would recommend using your own drywall anchors. While the Elfa drywall anchors are said to be sturdy, I personally didn't find that to be the case myself as the anchors didn't consistently open up and I had to reinstall one side of my closet where it was completely held up by drywall anchors. You can find much sturdier and stronger drywall anchors outside of the Container Store (e.g., EZ Anchor).

    Warning. Entering this store may make you get inspired about cleaning and organizing your home or apartment. If you need to store it or organize it. This is the place to go. There are containers and drawers of all sizes and shapes for inside the cabinets outside the shelves, closet organization and design. Gadgets for the kitchen, gadgets for the bedroom, gadgets for the bathroom, there is storage galore. After walking through the store you are ready to go home and see what you need to organize so you can go back to the store and buy what you need. Take measurements and take inventory of what is at home and then go back to the store. Prices are not the cheapest but they're not too horrible either. You're going to find storage that you can't find at stores like Daiso or Home Depot just because the selection is so vast at the container store. Have fun with all your spring cleaning ideas.

    We went to Santana row to go to Crate and Barrel and ended up dropping in to The Container Store to check things out.

    Went here a few times prior to this Christmas season. Found some nice gifts (felt overpriced but I…read morewas in a pinch for time) and love that everything is supposedly local artisan-level products. My issue has been the attitude of the one specific person who was working each time I went. Pushy as heck every time, following me around and talking at my back as I look at products- if I wasn't in need of gifts I would've walked out immediately. I don't need to be hounded as I shop. Couldn't answer simple questions based on what she tried to explain to me: Me looking at a resin platter. Salesgirl: it's so pretty isn't it? Me: it is but it is uneven when laid flat and the handles are different on each side. Her: Oh it can be "warmed up and flattened so it isn't uneven" if u "leave it in the car" Me: umm huh? Her as she quickly walks away: yeah or heat it up in the oven and like press down on it on the countertop. Me: Ok so what temp can it be safely heated to? Her from behind the cash wrap: just heat it idk. So do you want it or not? Me: no thanks for that price ($200) I would want to know what "heated" means. Sounds like it isn't very possible to make it lay flat without knowing the specifics. Her: well then don't buy it. Me: yeah i definitely won't. I expected a nice reply like "Oh let me check with the Maker and get back to you" or "sorry I don't exactly know what i'm saying but our return policy is.. and here is how to contact the Maker." Still bought about $300+ of products on that visit but wrote this review in my head before leaving as she shot me eye daggers as she rang us up. Won't be in again if she is working. Or maybe ever...made it all very suspect.

This particular weekend I wanted to get something for my niece who is graduating high school as well as turning 18!! I found a really cute, simple necklace that was pretty yet unique along with some really nice earrings! Not exactly a matching set, but I bought them to not match. My niece loved them!! Easy $60 present and it was unique the lady behind the counter, even wrapped it in a cute little mesh bag. I had tissue paper at home so I added that to the little rustic brown bag to have a pop-up color and overall I will definitely be back!!

    I've been wanting to go to Redemption for several months and finally made it to downtown Campbell…read moretoday to check it out. It's a cute boutique offering California-made items such as pottery, clothes, skin care products, jewelry, art, and more. The store is nicely organized and their items are neatly displayed. A table with pottery near the entrance caught my eye right away. I also enjoyed checking out the flavored salts and oils for cooking, room diffusers, wall art, and jewelry. I was surprised to see they carry the wonderful Osea skin care products as I didn't know they were made in California. I ended up buying a ceramic spoon rest, room spray, and a tiny gold "diamond" ring. Their prices were reasonable. The store owner rang up my items and was very friendly and nice. I will definitely be back to shop here again.

    I stopped by this small business a couple weeks ago and everything was as expected, prices of items…read morewere pretty high and especially for San Jose but nothing unexpected. I bought a tank top and it was $42 which was pretty steep but I didn't mind. Until today, I had washed the top I purchased ONCE and after only 2 or 3 wears it starts pilling almost everywhere! Sometimes the my washer does this which isn't avoidable, but I had washed it with like colors and fabric types so it shouldn't have done this. There's also weird lines in the fabric now so not sure if I would wear this outside my house anymore.
