Loved the lady at the cashier that was serving us just now at 3:20pm! She was so patient and professional. I asked so many questions, coupons, newsletter signed up etc. she answered them all. The store was so clean and well organized. The guy on the main floor was so friendly too. Parking was easy. Will definitely come again. read more

I've stepped inside of this location a few times since I've been back and usually go in without a plan in place. I tend to browse the aisles and see what is currently merchandised and priced. Yes, there are things I could use at home that would enhance my organization, but I probably need to go in with at least some dimensions and a vision which would help make things easier. I usually come out with a few trial items or things mainly for extra storage for clothing, swimwear, kitchen, gear, and travel. The Container Store is being acquired by Bed, Bath, & Beyond. They're making some shelf / retail space in the store for some of BBB's products. I appreciate how they sell Cadence because I have seen them online, but never in person. They are pretty pricey, but I can see how they could be beneficial for traveling. No, I have yet to try them myself. I like they are magnetic and are offered in various fun colors. Look into coupons that could be used now that they're going to be a part of BBB. Can't wait to see how they make the floor plan and what merch they decide to offer. read more

This store has improved its game! It's online ordering system, lately, has proved to be extremely efficient and convenient for in-store pickups. And items ordered online for pickup have been scheduled to be ready and waiting in a timely manner. Credit where credit's due. Well done, Container Store! read more

Alyssa is extremely rude and disrespectful, the girl behind the counter, I brought 4 bags to donate and I had to leavecause she started being so rude! I've been donating to this company ( other location) I will not anymore! read more

I just love this store. I have organized 4 closets and 1 pantry with the elfa shelving. The designers are top notch and helped me design my space. 3 of the closets - I had the container store install- which cost a little but it was worth it. 1 closet and 1 pantry installed myself. It wasn't too bad. So happy with the products. Staff are friendly and always courteous and helpful. Not a lot of shoppers so I hope they don't close down. Best to buy when on sale! read more

The Container Store - Elfa pantry ! - Home Decor Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Gave me a great start to my organization journey. Prices are on the higher side, but the items are high quality. Went in today and noticed some changes, interesting new concepts. Found a couple of items and will be back soon. read more

Love this place. They were bought by Bed and Bath so getting rid of half their stuff. Very sad

My wife and I are diehard Container Store fans and when we recently moved to NorCal, we knew where we needed to head. What we discovered at the Walnut Creek store was Jared Lindenberg who embodies excellence in design and superlative customer service. He even stayed late to finalize our designs without losing an iota of grace. We spent a TON of money but we did so with as much ease as we could muster all thanks to Jared and our fondness for the product we have come to trust for years. From start to finish and way beyond, Jared was awesome. Cheers! read more

Sadly I don't see this door surviving too much longer. Things are way overpriced and at least 85% of their stock qualifies as trendy and trinket-like. Why pay their ridiculous prices when you can get the same or similar online at a much better price and not have to be subject to all the ridiculous sales signs in the store which are really nothing more than an admission that the merchandise is way overpriced to start with. I've purchased things here before, But if you need a plastic bin, pick up one at home Depot for $7. read more

Wow. The staff are a bunch of fuckin' NERDS. ALL the employees that I came in contact with were so incredibly rude it blew my mind. The staff needs to put things into perspective. It's the god damn container store for christ sake! It's beyond embarrassing and they need to calm the fuck down and maybe tend to their fragile funny little egos. It's cute actually. I'll always always always remember now to warn people about the joke that is the container store. read more

They really need to hire, the lines are very very long on the weekends! If you need help with Elfa or customized closets do yourself and make an appointment. The lady with the short blonde haircut is rude with zero patience. If you park in the garage and call for pick up, they don't answer. The sign reads don't get out your car, yet they don't come or answer the phone! Gosh what a nightmare to get organized. The 90min parking only has 2 spots, then drive up has 3 spots but again when you click I'm here on the app/email no one comes! They need more parking spots, more cashiers and friendly customer service. read more

The Container Store - Home Decor Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Everyone must be reorganizing but I think ever since the Netflix show, The Home Edit (THE) came out, everyone is clamoring for the tools to have pretty bins! Sunday afternoon and we waited in line to enter the store. Probably a half an hour wait. (Nice music pipes in the area though.). Nice to have a limited number of customers as shopping was very nice. Unfortunately most of THE merchandise was sold out. Saw many online order bags awaiting pickup so that is the way to go. Prices at the store have always been high. But if you are looking for one stop shopping on functional, pretty organization tools this is the place to go. I only came to look at THE stock but came out with items that caught my eye (a Velcro holder with handle to wrap around my garden hose but I need to move it away from the faucet while my house is getting painted: a huge carbiner that I can put on a hook on my garage shelves to hang bags. Worth the wait. Just be prepared. read more

The Container Store - Shelves are pretty empty! - Home Decor Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Huge store, overpriced BUT if you are looking for something very specific and don't want to drive to 3 other places or search online, this is a good source. I needed a plastic organizer/tub for under my parent's sink. I wanted a dark color and dimensions were specific. Low and behold, they actually had something that worked perfectly. Saved me time and energy which to me, is worth paying a little more. Not everyone has that luxury I realize. They do carry some more affordable items too like Sterlite and their own brand, plus have a payment plan available. read more

Ordered $1000 elfa items . During ordering website said only a couple of items were not in stock. Now after a month I have only gotten 3 items . They send an email titled wahoo your items are in for pick up. So went today and only got 2 more items. At this rate I will have to drive to store 20 times to get my stuff and might get it by the new year. They don't care about their customers. Included email wahoo and part of my order and that's not even half of want I ordered read more

I ordered too many of a container that I planned on using but then realized that they would not work. This was after buying many, many items. When I went to return them, only options for returning an item were: Didn't receive; Item damaged; Item missing. You must upload a photo of damage. I thought about damaging each one because this was so maddening but that seemed wasteful. Now I'm stuck with $95.94 worth of containers. I've bought from them for many years, but will not buy from them again until their return policy changes. read more

Found what we were looking for, but one was up too high to get to it. Asked the front desk and they were sending someone to help. That person never showed up. After 20 minutes more, I found both items slightly less on Amazon. $350 verses $360 (two brushed steel garbage cans). I ordered from Amazon right from the store. read more

Ordered our master closets, were told we needed to pick up from the store when they were ready. We never received an email confirming that the closets were ready. I called and left a message, never received a call back. Called the next day and finally was told they were ready (a day later than originally promised). The installer comes today (super nice, definitely not his fault) but he doesn't have the design for the second closet. He asked if we had it and I have no idea where I would even find that. Overall, the communication was non existent and for the price, I'd expect a little bit better customer service. Edited to add : the measurements were off and we have to go back to the store to get additional pieces and they forgot to package the knobs with the order, which also need to be picked up as well. read more

Annoyed. I am standing in line for what seems like forever waiting to gain access to the store. They are limiting 5 customers at a time!! This is because they do not have adequate staffing . Had I known this, I would not have made the trip, again. They closein 45 minutes and there is a huge line. read more

I was in the store today to buy some organizing bins for my son's college dorm room. As usual, I like to wander through the aisles, but the store was so cold I changed my mind. I mentioned it to another customer in line who agreed she could feel the A/C was on. What a waste of money. Love the store but please warm it up! read more

Some photos to go along with previous review. Finished this project about 6 months ago and still very happy with the products! read more

The Container Store - "Before" top left, other 3 pics "after". More functional, clean & updated. Door from Wayfair, all shelving from Container Store. - Home Decor Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Very large store, but out of a lot of products though. Really long lines for only two cashiers, checking out to 30 minutes.

So I absolutely love the container store! Wonderful product and always find what I'm looking for. I was there this evening looking for these hangers and went in looked at where the hangers should be and I could find them. So I asked the lady who was working and she looked up the SKU number and said she should have then if there not then we get then back in stock January 17. It said on there website they have 4 in stock. Then offered to help me find them. Didn't ask if I wanted help didn't even look like she care to help me. So I was a bit upset. But I will just order then online and pick them up in store. read more

Shameful customer service! We ordered 16 wood and sea grass drawers to fit an organizer and were informed that it would take two months for them to arrive. We're in a pandemic, so no problem. Just as we were rushing to prep for a 5-day trip, we received notice that the containers were in and had to be picked up by 4:30 or they would be returned to the warehouse. That seemed rather unfair, given that we waited months, but my husband took off from work and drove all the way from Oakland to Walnut Creek, ONLY TO BE INFORMED THAT A MERE 4 CONTAINERS had arrived. Yes, the store insisted that he drive 13 MILES IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC to receive a quarter of our order! When I called to ask WTH, both the clerk and the supposed manager REFUSED TO DO A THING. They kept saying, "Well, we don't have the containers, so..." And I kept saying, "No one's complaining about that! But here's the thing: You could have called us and saved us a trip. You could have delivered the order to us. You could offer a refund or discount. You could even apologize." I work from home and have been a Container Store fanatic for years, but there are plenty of worthy businesses out there that understand the customer contract and make me want to support them during these hard times. read more

Very good staff and knowledgeable employees in closet organizer area. After purchase Container Store crew loaded our vehicle when we picked up. Nice this store is in our area. read more

Two times in a row I ordered something online to be picked up. Upon arrival, I checked in with the woman at the front (Jollin), who told me she would call someone in the back, then no one appears until 15 minutes later (after I escalate things). This is in a virtually empty store with employees wandering around doing non-pressing things. Jollin even named the employee who was supposedly "working on it" but that employee was spotted near front of the store with no clue about the pickup. I don't know why Jollin didn't make sure to get a response from the person she was supposedly announcing the pick up order to. She seems extremely incompetent. The store is so poorly run, and seems to have no respect for their customers' time. Two stars only because the merchandise is good, if pricey. read more

I really like the Store. It is big. It has almost every type of storage system available. Sometimes too many to pick from. I get headache from too many choices. I think this store is generally about 20% more than what you can find elsewhere but the quality is really good. Nice to have this place is Walnut Creek. Also lots of little gadgets and fun stuff. Biggest problem is long slow lines every time I go in. Convenient parking garage if you don't have to lug a bunch of big packages. Wait for sales to save money read more

The Container Store - Monday at 11:46...why is only 1 person working. - Home Decor Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

GREAT STORE.......if you want to be ignored because of the way you look and the color of your skin. I'm a Latin man in the late 20s that needed to get some stuff for my house. Not one person asked me if I needed help. I even needed to get behind someone that was filling the shelf and they looked at me then continued to ignore me and not move. This place is just terrible. I do well for myself own a home in the area and drive a nice car that probably the STORE MANAGER CANT AFFORD But because I am brown I don't get the help. Sure the fair skinned lady next to me was asked if she needed help but not me? Thanks a lot for nothin will not return here ever again! read more

At the suggestion of May A, I stopped in to find storage for my sneaker collection. I was pointed in the right direction and found a 24 pair door hanging rig for $24.95. In and out in ten minutes! read more

Love love this store! So many ideas how to organize your room, house, garage, office, etc. It's a really big store in the Walnut Creek downtown. This place actually reminds me of an ikea store. There is only street parking if you want to know. I actually could spend hours here. The only minus to my rating is the prices. I would wait for the sales or coupons. They do have a rewards program but due to limitation of these stores, it was not worth me setting up my email for it and getting spam mail. I am not here enough. I just happened to be in the area and wanted to browse before our dinner reservation. The staff are super nice. If you want storage or organization of your space, come here even for ideas. They have everything! [62/100] read more

You need organization in your home life? Then the Container Store can be your answer. This store in downtown Walnut Creek is large and has everything you need for organization and decluttering. They have so many items and choices for your closet, kitchen, bath, office, garage, and laundry. Whether it be for storage or shelving, trash and recycling, they got you covered. They even have a supplies for traveling. With the holiday season upon us, they have things for the season too. The store is clean and organized. Things are pricier than say Ikea, but qualify and selection is better. read more

I was roaming around Walnut Creek when I found this store at the corner of Starbucks. I walked in after lunch and I realized it was the container store. Haha. Well! Anyways, I was happy to take a look around. I mean yeah I wasn't greeted by any employee or was asked for helped but I enjoyed every aisle inside this store. I've seen storages, desk, jewelry boxes, etc! Seen a lot of great Christmas gifts! I was also curious to know if I did an email subscription if I would get in store coupons and such. Hope somebody can answer that for me! I enjoyed the store in general! read more

The Container Store - 6.50 after tax earring holder - Home Decor Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

The Container Store is like an adult playground. You can find containers of all shapes and sizes and utilities. I've been to The Container Store several times lately to buy boxes and have had a good experience each time. The store is kept clean and workers are very nice. There's also designated Container Store parking in the adjacent parking structure which is helpful. read more

Placed an order for an earring organizer and website told me they had four or five in stock. went out of my way to downtown Walnut Creek, to pick up the order and waited for about 15 minutes until someone helped me. to which he said "we don't have the item" and told me to come back sometime this week or the next, when they have it. My question is, why did it tell me how many they had in stock, if they didn't even have any at all? Ridiculous. Especially since I've been waiting for over 15 minutes while he "gets my order". Then no accommodation, like a gift card or something, for my time that's been wasted? Driving into the belly of the beast (aka downtown Walnut Creek) for nothing? He was a nice guy, not his fault, I'm just so upset because I HATE going downtown Walnut Creek! Now they expect me to come back another time? Hell no. I'll find it somewhere else. read more

I love this container store!! Especially the customer service I have received, I would like to give a shout out to Priscilla because she is very professional, has gone out of her way to make sure all of my questions or concerns about my order are answered, we got disconnected on the phone and she made sure to call me back. I highly recommend this location. read more

I went to get a custom craft room (Elfa) and I had an appointment. The person who helped me, Keri, was nice and knowledgeable. She helped me build my craft room in no time flat and she went and got the shelving I needed for my pantry. She was great and I highly recommend her. Having read the other reviews ... if you don't act like a Karen, you'll get better service and you'll have a better time. People who demand gift cards because they had to wait a few minutes are going to be perpetually angry and disappointed. read more

Finally got a chance to drop by earlier tonight and omg I was there for almost an hour browsing through all their items! They are located right below the parking garage and they even have a few designated parking spots on the 2nd floor. They also let you take the cart back to your car and you can just leave it there after. No need to bring it back. Anyway, I got myself some cool stuff for my new place. I got discounts cos some of the items have blemishes. I didn't even think of asking for a discount but the cashier told me he'll hook me up with 20% discount since he saw the blemishes on the acrylic organizers. So yeah, thanks for that! Their customer service at the store is amazing! They will greet you and ask if you need help when they see you and that's always a plus! I know I'll be back there for more sometime in the future! read more

I came here with my boyfriend to look into getting some storage supplies for our studio apartment. I had never gone to this store before, everyone in the store was nice and friendly. We only purchased a few items everything in there seemed to be pretty overpriced in my experience but I can't speak to the quality yet since this was my first real time going but maybe their products last longer or something since they cost about twice what it would online or some other store. I would hope so... let me know when y'all have a sale and I'll be back then read more

I love shopping here. Always clean and organized. Easy to find merchandise and friendly staff. Finding a parking spot might be a challenge but if you go upstairs you can find some designated spots where you can park for 90 min. The store is right across the Mens Wearhouse which makes is perfect. Have you ever been there? Awesome place to buy clothes. Fyi , due to COVID-19 there is always a line in front of the store. read more

I'm a sneakerhead and that's my MF problem. So when I came in and said I'd need 17 packs of large shoe box storages (a total of 102 shoe boxes), Luci was a little stunned but happy to get it all ready for me. She found Kyle, who may have volunteered as tribute, but he helped us break down all the boxes so we could Tetris the shoe boxes into our SUV. Also shoutout to Lilia and Mavis for the assist in making this project a slam dunk! read more
