Most homeowners wish that their living spaces had more storage, which probably doesn’t come as a surprise to you. Because of this, smart storage solutions are always welcomed into any home. Some people use clear-sided storage bins that let you see the contents, while others employ collapsible fabric bins with handles to make transportation easier. But what if you could combine these two features into one bin? Well, you can with the Univivi Foldable Fabric Storage Boxes, available for around $40 for a four-pack from Amazon. These boxes are a smart way to organize closets without getting rid of a thing, and they do it in a cute way.

While there are reasons to think twice when considering fabric bins for home storage, Univivi’s cloth-covered boxes put those worries to rest. These collapsible containers have a heavy cardboard structure overlaid with cloth that makes them feel sturdy, an attached flip-top lid, and two handles on opposite sides. Perhaps the biggest selling point is the clear window on the boxes’ face that lets you ID contents in a glance.

The boxes are available in three styles and two sizes. Choose light blue, gray, or gray and white chevron pattern. The smaller model is 14 by 10 by 8.3 inches and has a 5-gallon volume. The large boxes hold up to 10 gallons and are 17 by 12 by 12 inches. The boxes’ new-and-improved lid is sturdy enough to hold up to 30 pounds, making them ideal for stacking, and they’re equipped with Velcro tabs to hold the box closed.

While they aren’t as affordable as Dollar Tree solutions for organizing, the Univivi boxes’ long list of qualities may inspire you to spring for the added cost. Along with the durability and visibility they provide, these fabric boxes fully collapse when they’re not in use. Even if you need to store them in a way that doesn’t leave the window visible, easily label your fabric storage bins by hanging tags from the handles.

Pleased customers share photos with their reviews, showing that the boxes slide easily under beds and can even accommodate a folded full-queen comforter. Many people also say that they’re great for storing seasonal clothes. Most reviewers gave these storage containers 5-stars, but more critical reviews mention the boxes not stacking well and being smaller than expected. 

Closets are not the only places you can declutter with the help of the Univivi boxes. Tuck one or more into your car, a play room, an RV, your work space, or home gym. The 12-inch width on the larger model can accommodate file folders, children’s books, or magazines. They aren’t waterproof, so they are limited to indoor use. However, these indoor uses are seemingly limitless.
