FAQ
Clear plastic or fabric storage boxes — which should I choose?+
Clear plastic boxes are best for lofts, garages and anywhere damp is a risk, since you can see contents without opening the lid. Fabric boxes suit living areas and wardrobes where appearance matters, but they are not waterproof.
Will an underbed storage box fit a standard UK divan bed?+
Most divan beds have a 15-18cm clearance, which fits low-profile boxes like the IRIS Ohyama 50L. Measure the gap before buying, as some bed frames sit lower.
