Elfa Carts

Elfa is an exclusive line to The Container Store.  It is shelving, accessories and carts.

The carts look like dressers in that they have drawers.  The carts come in three different heights and widths, wheels or no wheels, tops or no tops.  The drawers also come in different widths and depths.  I recommend getting tops and wheels.  They are more versatile that way.

I have four Elfa carts - three of the largest and one medium size.  The three large ones are used to store Legos, cds, remotes, scrapbooks and supplies, purses and various other items.  The fourth one is the perfect size to put next to the office desk for paper, pens etc.

They can also be used for clothing, in the kitchen to hold soup cans, snacks, garbage bags, ziploc bags, or in a guest bedroom to store linens and towels etc.

I use the tops to put jewelry boxes, scrapbooks and one even has a t.v. on it.

They are easy to put together (no tools necessary, except something to hit the pieces into place).  The strength is also great. Technically there is no weight limit but be smart - don't put three heavy items in the bottom drawer.
