They boast a 4 month return policy and after less than a week I brought some unused containers in and I asked the first team member for help and she was too excited to push me off (although she ended up on the register anyway and wouldn’t even look at me as I smiled at her). The the manager comes up and is announcing that she doesn’t trust the cashier because “she is new” so she grabbed my containers to go get the item numbers because I had removed the stickers from them as I intended to use them. The cashier was the only kind person to me ironically. But what really annoys me is when the manager pulled me aside and held me up to verify the numbers after the transaction was complete and I was trying to help and I moved one of the containers and she grabbed it out of my hand abruptly like I am her child or one of her employees and she firmly placed it on the counter while raising her voice to me. I get people have bad days but this is her norm, you can tell. Needless to say I won’t go back because I didn’t shop there to get treated this way. Imagine spending your money somewhere and when returning something because it wasn’t going to work for a project you’re working on, and you go in with a spotlight on you from the manager of the store that is essentially shaming you for returning something. I’m sure most people don’t get this treatment, but I did and Amazon is easier to click a button and have it show up without an attitude.

I’ve been using the Container Store’s Elfa closet system exclusively since the early 2000’s, so getting a design online during a big sale, and ordering for in-store pick up was a no-brainer. Friendly service at pickup, where all components were carted up and ready to go. This is the easiest and most modular DIY closet there is!

The Container Store in Costa Mesa is a true haven for anyone who craves organization with style. Located at the South Coast Plaza, this location is spacious, well-lit, and impeccably organized—a fitting first impression for a store that sells order itself. The staff here are genuinely helpful without being overbearing; they know their inventory well and are quick to offer creative solutions for everything from cramped kitchens to overflowing closets.
The selection is vast, with options that range from budget-friendly bins to sleek, high-end closet systems. What sets this location apart is the impressive Elfa and custom closet section—if you’re looking to revamp your space, their in-house designers make the process surprisingly seamless. Seasonal displays are always inspiring, and it’s easy to lose track of time exploring all the clever gadgets and beautifully arranged shelves.
Prices can run high, but the quality justifies the cost, especially for long-term storage solutions. Sales are frequent enough to make wish-list shopping more attainable. Whether you’re a minimalist or a maximalist trying to get your life in order, The Container Store in Costa Mesa delivers a satisfying retail experience that actually makes organizing feel exciting. Just make sure you bring a list—or risk buying one of everything.

Cannot rate the container store low enough. I ordered a custom closet using their tool and they fulfilled it incorrectly 3 times now. It has taken now 6 weeks to receive the correct items for my purchase
