Promising review: "I have a small bedroom so I'm always looking for ways to keep my room clean and clutter-free. This works great, I've had it over two years and no damage or problems with it. It works even better if you just don't put towels in it, then you can fit a lot more stuff. I've purchased cheaper ones with plastic pieces you insert and broke so this one has really been the one that has lasted." —Monika Snow

Promising review: "We just moved from a two-bed to a one-bed and are trying to squeeze everything in. Anxiety is at a full-time high with all the clutter but this product helped us organize our closet while freeing up hanging space! No more random hangers here, there, and everywhere, tangled up and cluttering a room. It was SO simple to assemble. Took me maybe five minutes (tops)." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I LOVE this product. I've recently downsized in living arrangements until our house is finished being built so storing away my clothes is a task for me (I have way too many clothes). These bags made the process easy. I ordered 12 for fear of not enough room but there was so much room, I only ended up using five bags. It sucked the bags down so small. You will not be let down with this purchase." —Jayme

This headboard is only for full- and queen-sized beds. We love this option for twin-sized beds.
Promising review: "I was looking for something like this because I do not have enough space on the sides of my bed for bedside tables. This was a really good deal. Good price, fits well with our Sleep Number bed, spacious, and nice looking." —Great customer

Promising review: "Easy to assemble and looks great! Am very pleased with the amount of storage underneath. My son was able to get rid of his two dressers that were taking up space in his room!!! Sturdy and very stylish! Looks like we spent a fortune!" —Trisha

Promising review: "This is a fantastic bed for a New Yorker in a small apartment. My closet is literally one foot wide so having the extra storage for out-of-season clothing, extra bedding, and luggage really saves my life. You could put those things under a normal bed in a normal bedroom, but this completely prevents having to lug out under bed bins and also not having tons of space on either side to do so." —Linlee

Promising review: "The color is exactly as shown and so is the material. Very well designed and made. Looks expensive! We are in a one-bedroom condo and are using it as a coffee table/storage bench. It fits beautifully in the space and really adds a touch of elegance to the apartment. Looks great with a tray on top as well! Relatively comfortable seating as well. Storage is plentiful. Highly recommend purchasing this as an entryway bench, coffee table or ottoman for storage by the bed." —Kaitlyn

Promising review: "My son has a very small room so I purchased a bed with drawers underneath but over time they broke. I needed something to put his clothes in without taking up too much space in his room. These storage bag containers are perfect for that. I will probably order more because I have a hoarding issue with fuzzy warm blankets and comforters. Another plus on these storage bags is I can place dryer sheets in them to keep them smelling like they were just washed." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I don't have a ton of makeup but I needed to get rid of the clutter on my bathroom countertops. I LOVE this! It is sturdy and fits so many things! I have so much extra space to grow and it looks nice on my countertop!" —Sadhana Subramanian
Get it from Amazon for $12.90 (available in two sizes)
Promising review: "This was so helpful! I originally purchased one and then purchased two more because it saved me so much space. I hung one of them behind the bedroom door and its perfect for baby swaddles/blankets. I also hung one in my husband's closet and I have more baby items stored (lotions, wipes, diapers, and other baby items so it is easy to find) and one in my closet to have swim sets organized and easy to spot (since it is summer) instead of taking up drawer space! Great quality and holds up really well." —Alex

Promising review: "Sturdy, easy to assemble, and no tools required. It does its job and doesn’t take up a lot of space, so it’s not a huge commitment and adds extra storage to a small space. I gifted this to my sister and she stores pocket books on it behind her bedroom door." —Anna

Promising review: "I have a small room in an apartment that I share with others that doesn't have a built-in closet and limited floor space, especially with the weird architecture. To maximize my space, I removed my armoire and replaced it with the Rubbermaid closet system and voilà — instant floor space since the Rubbermaid kit is dynamically taller and provides me extra floor space under the unit for storage. My tiny room feels huge." —V G
