This IKEA Storage Gem Just Dropped to Only $8 (and I’m Stocking Up Before the New Year)
Apart from its budget-friendly furniture, IKEA is beloved for its wide selection of storage solutions. Almost everything IKEA sells has some kind of storage hack, and the brand’s marketplace is stocked with storage gems that pro organizers love. Exhibit A: The TROFAST Mesh Storage Box, which has hundreds of five-star ratings on the IKEA site. It’s designed to be used with the ever-popular TROFAST storage system, but I honestly think they’re fabulous on their own.
The TROFAST Mesh Storage Box is normally $12, but you can grab one for only $8 during the IKEA Winter Sale. You will need to order at least two to buy them online, but that shouldn’t be an issue. I’ll be buying multiple boxes to do some serious reorganizing in time for the new year.
What Is the TROFAST Mesh Storage Box?
The steel mesh storage box is just the kind of fits-everything storage I’ve been looking for. It measures 16.5 inches long, 11.75 inches wide, and nine inches tall, so it’s roomy enough for all sorts of things‚ from kids’ toys, to bed and bath linens, to pantry items.
It features an extended lip that’s designed to be fit into the TROFAST storage frame, and slide out with ease. But it also just makes the box easier to grab wherever you put it, whether it’s on top of your fridge, closet, or on a bookshelf.
The cherry on top is that the TROFAST box is exceedingly stylish. The steel mesh not only gives you visibility to the contents inside, but it’s also powder-coated in a beautiful pinky-red color that adds instant interest to any room. Unlike fabric bins that are prone to staining or ripping, these are way more durable, and can withstand spills, dings, and bumps without any fanfare. Plus, it’s not plastic, which is always a win.
What IKEA Reviewers are Saying
“These storage bins fit well in our KALLAX in the craft room, creating visible storage while keeping craft items secure from kitty involvement. Very sturdy and easy to move around.” —Mary
“This product is awesome. Very stable and hold a lot of items. It is a really good size and fits a lot.” —Codi
“Love these mesh bins! It holds bath towel sets well. Great in my master bedroom closet.” —Lisa
“If you’re like me and my kid, you forget about stuff if you can’t see it. These are perfect for toys because they stay organized but they don’t look messy. They’re a bit more see-through than the white folding ones for the KALLAX shelves, but honestly it’s perfect. And I love that they’re not plastic!” —Meghan
The takeaway here is that the TROFAST Mesh Storage Box will be the MVP of your next organization project. So I’d recommend securing yours at a discount before they sell out.
