Help me think of something to do with this awkward storage thing.

[quimcunx]

Fix some cord or a coat hanger to it, use it, hung up, inside a cupboard or waldrobe for gloves/hats/scarves etc?

that sounds almost sensible.

 

[silverfish]

It's a bit saggy and sad and doesn't really stand up properly. I had such high hopes.

Nail it to the wall it'll sit prettier

That or grow lots of cress in it

If you buy a straw connector toy you can give the floppy useless storage solution enough rigidity to store you new straw connector toy.

Now this could work. I could probably force a coathanger through it. I am nowhere near organised enough to actually store regularly-used things like pants and socks in it (they just get shoved in drawers) but it could hold... er... something.

Cuddly toys. The damn things breed.

Needs a bit of shoring-up, possibly with more coathangers, but it's the best use so far

Result!

 

[weepiper]

Hurrah!

I was going to say it looked good for overwintering hibernating tortoises ... but I doubt you happen to have 9 small tortoises and your solution seems better anyway.

I love how everyone looks slightly cramped and pissed off, just like in a real house share.

 

[mrsfran]

I'm so lame, I tried to put my favourite cuddly toys in the best position. You can tell I don't give a shit about the yellow camel or Upsy Daisy.

 

[Bears]

You could put a loo roll in each of those compartments.

This is actually genius.

You're in for a massive disappointment in a few minutes.

And you're right about Upsy Daisy in particular.

Really? Can't wait. I might actually stay awake for this...

Review the thread. Hold on to your seat, very tightly!

 

[discobastard]

Best thread ever.

An advice thread with a happy ending? Not sure this is proper Urbanz

I've got a divan. We'd bought a wooden frame but our very expensive mattress was sagging on it so we replaced it. : (

It has absolutely nothing to do with wolves hiding under beds. No siree.

Nope.

Ah, it's the huge inaccessible hollow space in the base of a divan that worries me. You don't know what's in there and you aren't going to look .

(it's easy to lift the base up, slash it open from underneath & shove boxes under it if you're really short of storage space. Just don't forget & leave them there when you move out).

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

How about a trunk organizer for your car (assuming you have one)?

or get the sort of divan with drawers in the base bit?

while they don't suit storage of heavy stuff, they are less dust-prone than just bunging stuff in bags under the bed, and they are fairly difficult for wolves / monsters to open...

I see lots of things like this on Etsy - completely useless. Often they claim to be eco friendly but I get angry and think "no what would be eco friendly is to not create (and then post) utterly useless shit in the first place". But, sorry, that doesnt help you.

Just think of how many bed bugs could fit into that hollow space?

Landlords don't tend to ask if you'd like the kind with drawers in the base bit...
OTOH they also don't tend to notice if you discreetly open up the base with a Stanley knife .

Oops fell asleep! And only got chance to review now. Crushed. Now I wasn't too find/patent a similar container for 9 toilet rolls.

 

[Bears]

P.S. I genuinely feel asleep. I wasn't teasing about that.
