  • Who manufactures those cool galvanized storage cube carried by the container store


  • Well, The Container Store's description says that: "Our Galvanized Storage Cube blends Italian design with the durability and strength of galvanized steel". This makes it sound to me like these products are unique to The Container Store, and that they are partially -- but not completely -- based on "Italian design". But I suppose that someone has to manufacture these products for The Container Store, and perhaps the manufacturer (or originator) is indeed Italian.
    In any event, I would be happy to contact The Container Store tomorrow. Or have you already tried to do that? Please let me know.


  • If you don't mind my asking, is there a particular reason why you need to know the manufacturer? You already know that you can get these cubes, the connectors, and other related components at The Container Store; what can you get from the manufacturer that you can't get from The Container Store? I'm sure there is something -- such as price or quantity -- but I thought it might be helpful to know what that something is.


  • Ok, here is the whole story.

    1) My room is in such a mess it has just been declared a disaster zone by my government. So, I have decided to refurnish it but I want a unique look and not furnish it with the same crap everyone else has from ikea.
    2) I found those galvanized cubes from the container store and thought i struck gold. But I live in ASIA and they don't ship it here!!!!!
    3) The customer service at TCS confirms that they don't ship it out of US and they won't tell me who the manufacturer is because its not their policy. But they did tell me the cubes are from Italy.
    4) That got me thinking that I would like to know the manufacturer and see if they have other designs for the cubes as well.
    Look, I just want to know the manufacturer. thats all. Not who ships it out of the US or who carries them. thanks guys.

    Brookstone has these identical cubes and will ship internationally if you fax the order in. They're on sale, too.


  • Hi,

    justaskscott-ga is correct. Those are the cubes I am after. I believe the manufacturer will carry most other components that should snap these cubes together.. i hope.

  • Hi myc320,

    Can you provide us with a link to the storage cube that you are wanting to know about, or give a detailed description? I visited the store and saw several so I'm not sure which item you mean. Hopefully it won't take long to find an answer for you once we are sure of the item.
    Thanks,

  • Hi,

    I was just told they are from Italy. Good luck.
