Container Store Spring Sale is up!

[JanBaby]

This is the one with the sweater boxes that fit perfectly in the Expedit but I'm disappointed in the sale prices:

Sweater box: Reg $5.99, Sale $5.39
Deep Sweater box: Reg $9.99, Sale $8.99
Accessory box: Reg $1.69, Sale $1.52

However I'm extremely excited about getting an Elfa unit for the inside of my pantry door! I'm going to get a 63 inch wall mounted and probably 4-5 baskets.

We did the elf a door system inside the pantry and its awesome! I may get two or three more for inside the linen closets.
Do you know which sweater boxes fit the expedit? Is it the standard or deep?
Thanks for the heads up!

I haven't put any sweater boxes in our Expedit yet but there are several threads about them. I believe two regular or one deep fit perfectly.

Glad to hear about your Elfa pantry! I can't wait to move all of our spices and baking stuff in one, easy to access spot.

Yup! That's what we have.

I loved my elfa over the door setup at my last house, it was so great!

I want one for my pantry after seeing them! Did you do the installation yourself? If so, how difficult is it? This would free up lots of shelf room for me.

I don't remember that well since I moved from that house 7 years ago (current house doesn't have a pantry or I would have taken it with me). But I did it myself and I am by no means handy so it must have been pretty easy!

[TwinFoxes]

I have the Elfa door rack too, and it's really great. DH put it up in about 5 minutes. It feels sturdy.

I'm going to try to not buy anything after buying a truckload of multi-purpose bins yesterday!

ETA: Grr, I shouldn't have looked! I really want this shoe rack! http://www.containerstore.com/shop/springOrganizationSale/shoeAccessoryStorage?productId=10000121&N=77824

Oh, this was the sale when I bought our spiffy trash can! One side is trash and the other side is recycling. LOVE it! Regularly $179, on sale for $129:

Also, I LOVE our Elfa pantry door rack! Highly recommend!

The pantry door organizer doesn't require any tools to install. You just need to hang the top of the door support and attach the rail to that. Very easy

Thanks for posting the Costco link! I wanted one of these but not at Elfa prices. I hope they have it at my store.

[waitingforgrace]

Thanks for posting about the Costco organizer. I'll have to look for it next time I'm there.

[Pennylane]

Purchased mine yesterday and then realized my doors are too tall! Had to run back to get the kit to attach it directly to the door. Now I just have to wait for me DH to attach it on Friday.

You are going to LOVE it! I bought it yesterday, installed it in about two minutes last night. I'm going to switch out one basket for a smaller one to fit more spices but it's so, so fabulous.

How does it install?

[JanBaby]

How does it install?

There is a hook that goes over the top and bottom of your door. You attach the main mounting piece to the top and bottom hook and tighten with an allen wrench. That's seriously it. No drilling unless you want to attach it to the door.

This looks perfect! Will look for it at my COstco. Do you have an SKU whatever number?

My door is 8 ft tall, so I have to attach it with screws. I was bummed, wanted it up right away!

Thanks for posting. My Costco said they got these in within the last couple of days. If I can make it before I leave town I am going to get 2 - 1 for the pantry and another for the linen closet where I keep my medicines etc.

[anamika]

Thanks - going to ask at my Costco! I might get 2 too. One for the back door so we can leave all the things we need to bring out the door!

[jam224]

For those of you that aren't blessed with a Costco (*sniff!*), I saw something similar at Target yesterday: http://www.target.com/p/closetmaid-8-tier-adjustable-door-rack/-/A-13680756

It's 18" wide though, so it might not fit narrower pantry doors.

I have the Elfa door rack too, and it's really great. DH put it up in about 5 minutes. It feels sturdy.

I have one similar to it and it works great. I didn't buy it from the container store. I got it at Target or Walmart. I don't remember which one. But for really cheap, maybe $10. I think you can get similar ones---lasted me for more than 8 years so far. Never ripped. I like the container store, but you can find stuff like it, and still works great w/o paying as much.

[Pennylane]

My DH put mine up today and I love it! It's perfect for holding the things we use on a daily basis. Thanks for recommendation!

Is something like that available but in a smaller size? I really need something for the inside of my bathroom closet

If you just need something shorter, I'm pretty sure the CS will cut the hanging part to whatever length you want. I know they will cut down the shelves.

Thanks! Never thought of that!

Bumping this because the sale ends soon: May 5th. Also, the Real Simple 15% off coupon (good off regular prices) expires April 30th: TRSBA13.

I just picked up an order last night, including this 2-tier lazy susan for all of my spices (inspired by a semi-recent thread in the lounge) for my upper cabinet:

Love it! :thumbsup:

Also, as part of the sale, I did buy several of these stacking bins (http://www.containerstore.com/shop?productId=10027640&N), inspired to organize my bathroom cabinet, a la Alejandra:

ETA: And I took advantage of the "Click and Pick-up" option again and I'm such a huge fan! :D

ETA again: And I'm also a huge fan of this laundry cart, which is on sale: http://www.containerstore.com/shop/springOrganizationSale/cleaning?productId=10027609&N=80132
I actually have it in a small space in our kitchen (in between our counters and baker's rack) and it's *perfect* for storing all of our beverages that can't fit in our pantry: bottles of pop and gallons of water.

[ckso]

I finally found the rack at Costco and it doesn't fit right. Turns out our door is too short....by an inch. Our door measures 79 inches and the rack is for 80.

Now what? :(

[maybeebaby08]

These racks are on sake at Costco for $29.99 right now. I bought one today and just installed it. So easy to install, great way to add extra storage to small spaces.
