I got a set of two Periea boxes a few months ago to store my out of season shoes and they do exactly what I needed from them. I just got another order, 3 large, to store my blankets/bedding. They arrived yesterday and I was so excited to be able to move things I had just stored uncovered in my closets. Also was able to take some things out of my cedar chest and put in them. Who knew my first excitement of this new year would be found in a storage box! I'm not a big fan of storing anything, feeling that if I keep things stored, they can't be that important for me to keep. Now I find myself thinking of other things I can put in them!

I like them also.  I have a closet full.  The only problem I have is you can't stack more than 2 on top of each other if there is something heavy in them.  I only have a small walk-in to store them and I stack them as well as I can.  I keep my leather handbags in one in the summer and the summer handbags in the winter.  It's fantastic. There really great for bedspreads and comforters.

I love Periea boxes too.  The TSV contains a new compact size and they're great for many uses where they didnt fit before like under the bathroom sink, linen closet etc.

The jumbos are good for comforters too and also pillows.

I looked locally and couldn't find anything better to reorganize my master closet.

I agree they are great.

I was excited about these boxes too until I began putting smaller boxes on top of larger.  Not enough support.  They began to sink into the lid.  They need the same size wire underneath to stack them on top of each other.  

 

Also, I have pulled things out of the bottom that didn't want to come out very easily ending up messing everything above them even though I held  those pieces above in place.  

 

The boxes I received had a horrible smell.  I had to air them out for 3 plus months. Should have returned all of them.  

 

I still like those big box stores' plastic boxes.  All sides remain sturdy and can take a lot of pounds on top of them.  They aren't pretty, but I also think they are easier to pack with sturdy sides and to pick up.  

 

Samples of those Big Box store favorites of mine.

I have space bags that have a zippered linen type cloth out the outside... the bags are inside.

 

 Love them, I have four and they fit under the bed with out of season clothes.

 

I use large rubbermaid containers for seasonal decor...those are stored in the garage.  I have two for fall, 1 for spring and a couple for Christmas.  I will not buy more, what decor I have must fit in the bins.  I do not like clutter and have no more room in the garage for additional containers.
