    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.

The space is beautifully designed and has such an elevated, calming atmosphere that makes browsing a pleasure. I had the pleasure of being helped by Noah, who made what I expected to be a quick shopping trip into a really enjoyable experience. After learning I was looking for Citronnelle, he introduced me to the new Summer Collection Citronnelle & Géranium Body Gel. I was hooked. It captured everything I love about the fragrance while feeling fresh, sophisticated, and perfect for summer. It's something I never would have discovered if he hadn't taken the time to understand what I was looking for. What stood out most was how thoughtful and genuine the service felt. Noah was knowledgeable, answered my questions with confidence, and offered recommendations that matched my preferences without ever making me feel pressured to buy more. It felt like he genuinely wanted me to leave with something I'd love. The entire boutique reflected that same level of hospitality. Every interaction I observed between the team and other guests was warm, attentive, and professional. It's clear that creating a memorable customer experience is a priority here. Thank you, Noah, for making my visit such a positive one. Your product knowledge and thoughtful recommendations made all the difference. I'll definitely be back.

I was absolutely shooketh and super appreciative of this (first time in my life this has ever happened) and by how much time she dedicated to let me pick my birthday candle and tell me about upcoming scents and events. The whole visit seriously made my day after a super busy work week. Shout out to the team at this boutique- y'all are the best!!

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.

Lol oops! This particular day we were walking around and discovered this cute little store!! I thought these mixed drink bottles were so cute. I had to take a picture!! For 10 or $20 you could buy one of these along with a bottle for your friend or as a cute housewarming present!! They had different sizes, different flavors and different mixes that went for everything!! They even had a fruit punch, one with just fermented, dried fruits inside! I really like this idea! Store had a bunch of other little odds and ends as well as some local soaps, candles, clothes, and baby items and some interesting maps or posters that showed different astrological signs as well as were certain vegetations grow within the state or even the time of year!! I'm not much of a gardener, but I would love to get into it! I also don't have the space but I liked the posters! I also thought I took a picture of the poster, but apparently I forgot! It was still really cute though! The lady in the store was very welcoming and friendly and if you check on the app, you get a discount with your purchase! So I'll have to save that for next time! I definitely wanna come back here and buy little stock for presents for friends and family!

He told us he would find us a box to put our glasses in, and came back with an unopened set. He offered to let us pick from among the glasses in the box, too, which was unexpected and such a kind gesture to think of us like that. He really encouraged us to pick out the ones we wanted! Thank you for such excellent service!
