| - I'm a little mixed on this place. This was a staple outlet when I needed some things for previous homes in Texas and California. Even when I went back to college back in... a while ago, it was useful and accommodated a lot of needs.
So I was pretty happy to find out that Vegas was getting its own Container Store this last Spring. It's been a hectic Summer, but I finally found time to make my way over there.
I don't know who's changed, honestly. Them or me. It looks like your average Container Store, and not much has really changed. Service wasn't an issue, so that wasn't the thing that bothered me.
What bothered me was the prices.
I can't be that out of the loop on this place to suddenly go from ramen chomping college kid okay with the prices to thinking "Holy crap, this place is expensive" as an adult. Even simple, basic stuff just seems overpriced for what it is. I do like their Elfa shelving, and maybe down the line I'll invest in some for my home office, but I just don't remember the place ever being this expensive. It's a chain store, not a high-priced boutique.
I left the store feeling more confused than satisfied. It's unfortunate that the prices turned me off so, but hopefully they'll get themselves sorted out, or have one heck of a sale in the future.
I'll give them another chance in the future. It just didn't seem like the store that I used to know.
