As children head back to school, parents are looking for ways to keep bedrooms, play areas and homework spaces clutter-free. A range of storage drawer towers from The Range, starting at £42.99, has been praised by shoppers as an 'excellent' solution.
Practical storage options for every room
The Really Useful Drawer Towers come in various sizes and can be tucked onto shelves, under desks or into cupboards. They are designed to store stationery, notebooks, art supplies, school books, toys and games, offering a compact way to organise everyday essentials without taking up too much room.
The Really Useful Five-Drawer Tower Unit costs £42.99. It features colourful, removable rainbow-shaded drawers that are deep enough to hold toys. Made from sturdy plastic with wheels for easy movement, it measures 100.5cm high, 30cm wide and 42cm deep, making it suitable for bedrooms, playrooms, living rooms, garages and outbuildings.
Larger and alternative options
For those needing more space, the Really Useful Rainbow 10 Drawer Tower Unit is available for £47.99. Each drawer has a 7-litre capacity, and the transparent, coloured design allows contents to be seen easily. For under-bed storage, the Really Useful 64L clear plastic box is also suggested.
Shoppers looking for a clear alternative can find the Really Useful five-drawer tower at Argos for £50, offering five 19-litre drawers. At Amazon, the Homcom six-drawer plastic kids storage unit costs £55 and comes in three muted colourways. This Montessori-inspired unit, standing 56.5cm high, lets children independently access and tidy away their toys and school items.
What parents are saying
Shoppers who have purchased the storage units have shared their feedback online. One buyer said: "I absolutely love Really Useful, they make the best boxes at the highest quality which is reflected in the price. These draws are no different, excellent quality, had two sets of them a good six months now and they are absolutely great."
Another buyer, who purchased a 62-litre box from Hobbycraft, commented: "I now have so many of these storage boxes, I use them for everything and so does my daughter. It was my daughter who originally started buying the deeper version of this box for her kids toys, and this particular one for her kids paper work from school, hospital appointments etc, now I buy mostly for my craft stash, also my own important paper work And my grandkids Lego."
A Ryman shopper called them 'outstanding', adding: "I am so impressed with this range of storage boxes, I have them in different sizes throughout the house and garage... Heavy duty plastic and easy to stack and move. You need this, if not for you, your children or maybe child going away to uni. Great range of colours too!"
On Amazon, one buyer said: "I have bought three lots if these storage units, they are totally fab, so clean and colourful and each one can hold A4 documents so very useful too. They come with castors so you can move then around the room easily or if you do not want to gut the castors just have them static. Can not recommend enough."
However, one buyer noted a potential issue: "Great product for sorting out and storing stuff, but just don't over load on weight as I did .. and broke one of the lugs the wheels go into when moving them."
Another parent purchased them ahead of the new term, saying: "I have two of these for my children's rooms to keep organised for school. The drawers fit all the A4 pockets and with two units there are enough drawers for each subject plus extra for paper, stationary etc. They hold loads."
