Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid 3F23 Configurations Three-Handle Storage Chest With Cedar Inserts, Natural
Customer Review: Uncertain
Summary: 1 Stars
The chest isn't shallow enough to fit under a bed, nor is it an appropriate size/shape to fit my closets. Haven't yet found a practical use for it, so it languishes amidst my clutter!Customer Review: Useful if you plan to store clothing... otherwise...
Summary: 3 Stars
I have four of these "chests". When I purchased them I thought that I was purchasing a soft sided container with a cedar panel insert which would give the canvas a firm side, boy was I disappointed when I discovered that the insert is only about 2.5 inches long and 1.5 inches high, and about a 1/4 inch thick!
Because the sides of these containers are SO flimsy and soft they are not good for stacking in any way. Furthermore they are not great for CARRYING, because they bend and sag. Very unfortunate.
I have kept them, however, and use them for off season storage of children's clothing. I basically just have a heap of them in the corner of the room (if I had a closet they'd be "stacked" in there.)
The zipper is nice enough that I don't worry about it breaking anytime soon, and the canvas seems sturdy enough to withstand years of use. In fact I have already been using them constantly for a little less than three years.
For the price, its a pretty good deal. Much nicer looking and smelling than the hard sided plastic stuff. They also fold up nice and small if I don't need to put anything in them and would rather store THEM.
Just go in knowing what it is, and then you will most likely be more satisfied than I was.
Customer Review: Wonderful buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
After the shoe box incident, I was skeptical about Rubbermaid items but I still went ahead and bought 2 of these because I need to store my winter clothes.
When they arrived and I started filling them out, I was very impressed! The handles are very sturdy, there is plenty of space in them ( I was able to store ALL my winter clothes in 4 of them total!!)and they are not cumbersome to pick up or stack up.
The only thing I found was the "cedar strips" are really small so I ended up adding some extra cedar blocks just to make sure the clothes will be ok until next winter.
Great buy for the price!
Customer Review: Worked Perfectly!
Summary: 5 Stars
I initially ordered one of the storage chests to make sure I would like it and it would serve the purpose I needed (to store out-of-season clothes). Well it not only did that but inspired me to become just a bit more organized in the closet. I ordered three more and they work great. They fit perfectly with the shelving that is part of the Rubbermaid Configurations closet organization system and match the garment bags and laundry hamper from the same canvas collection. I love it! Perfect for sweaters, sweatshirts and winter clothes that I don't need to have in my dresser in July!Customer Review: Works great for storing clothing.
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered 2 of these. I was worried about the quality when I read some of the reviews here, but I really like these storage containers. Plus the price was so inexpensive! I have no problems with the walls on the container standing up on their own, even when they are empty. Only time I think they might lose their shape is if you stacked something on top of them when they are empty. But I have them both full right now and have one stacked on top of the other and they have been holding perfect shape. They offer lots of room and the zipper works well.
Only thing I would say is the "Cedar Inserts" are such a joke. There are 2 of them and they are the size of popsicle sticks. But I guess they do say they are Cedar Inserts not Cedar Lined. Just don't buy these with the idea your getting anything special with the Cedar. But I find these containers very useful and would not hesitate buying more.
