Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid 220200 Wrap N'Craft 33-Inch Vertical Storage Container, Clear
Customer Review: Good storage, hard to open.
Summary: 4 Stars
I do like this product, it is very sturdy. Since I store my wrapping paper in the cellar. I no longer have to worry about damp or moldy smelling paper. I like the idea of having a top compartment to store items in, however,the top piece should be deeper with a smaller lid. I also found it rather hard to open. I would not recommend this item to someone with arthritis or to my elderly parents.Customer Review: Great Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product. It holds all of my gift wrap & gift tags. It's sturdy and looks nice. You can see what's inside without having to open it.Customer Review: Great for Laundry...Not so much for Wrapping Paper
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased several of the Vertical Wrap'N Craft storage boxes several years ago but soon found out they were very hard to use. The top is difficult to open and the upper compartment is too small for common supplies (ie: bows, scissors, ribbon, tags, etc). Since these containers are fairly expensive ($15-$20 each) I was determined to find a good use, which I did. I now use these containers (w/o the lids) to hold dirty laundry. My kids each have 3 in their closets: one for whites, one for medium colors, one for dark colors. My husband and I have an additional one for dry cleaning. They are the perfect size for laundry loads and make sorting so much easier.Customer Review: Great idea, but could be improved.
Summary: 3 Stars
When these first came out, they filled a void that made us go out and get one immediately. Although they are rather expensive, they do hold a lot of paper and some wrapping items (scissors, tape, pen, to/from cards, ribbon and bows).
They got it right:
1) Has a special flip top lid for wrapping hardware.
2) Nice quality plastic, stands up to storing in the basement - hasn't cracked or broken.
3) The lid fits tightly, keeps out any critters.
4) Holds a lot of paper and other supplies like bags and bows.
They need to rethink it:
1) The item is about a foot too short... only fits short rolls of paper.
2) The utility compartment that holds your scissors and paper should also lift open to allow easy access to the rolls. You have to remove the cover instead and it can be tough to do that and put it back on.
3) The utility compartment should be a little bit larger. It barely holds a roll of ribbon. Would also be nice to have adjustable plastic segments.
4) Needs to be a bit roomier.
5) Could use an adjustable "slot" system, say with a cross bar about half way deep to allow you to remove rolls without adjusting the entire container full. Would also allow you to have the rolls stay vertical and give space for a bag of bows without everything falling to one side.
For the money, it should include all of the above and probably come half full of paper (it's a Piece of plastic!). We also bought a Sterlite one that's a foot taller, but it doesn't have a compartment for tools. Nor does it have a crossbar... but it was much cheaper and holds almost twice the paper.
I'm giving it a 3. It's a nice design, but could be a lot better. I hope Rubbermaid reads this!
Customer Review: Great product

This container held more than I thought it would. I was glad as I had many extra roles of Christmas paper. The top fits down snuggly but not too tight. The bows and light-weight items fit nicely on top and the lid slides right over all.
