Organizing Product Idea Day



Let's pretend for a minute you need a car.  You could of course go out and get a top of the line Rolls Royce but after doing due diligence you realize that a Ford will serve you just as well and save you a small fortune.  But then I come along and we discover that you will only need this vehicle on rare weekends and I encourage you to buy a utilitarian used vehicle. You save on the purchase price, maintenance, repairs etc. There is no right or wrong, is there?  It all depends on your needs and of course your budget.

The same applies to shelving units.

The top photo shows the Rolls of shelving units. It's attractive, sturdy and I believe can come with wheels.  The middle photo shows a less attractive but very sturdy unit that would do well in a garage.  The first one could serve you in a garage or in your home. I like the versatility of that choice.

The last one is less than $40 and would be super if all you wanted was to store holiday decoration boxes out in the garage or park items from a big box store out there so your home wasn't clogged with too many paper products and sodas.

You get the idea.

Shelving units will transform any space and enable you not only to store more but to access it easily.  Be sure you know where you need the unit(s), what you intend to store on it and check your budget.  The top one is from The Container Store and is of course my favorite.  The next two are from the Home Depot and I've recommended them frequently.  By the way if anything has to be assembled be sure you have someone who can do it easily.  I've seen my clients take two hours to assemble a shelving unit before they figured out how it went and could move more quickly.  Sometimes paying for a person who can deliver and assemble is worth everything!
