Cheap way to store clothes in my room, something like IKEA Kallax but cheaper

So i have too many clothes and need something to store them in. i don't need fancy drawers or anything, I'll stack the clothes in open shelves if I need to. But it just needs to be cheap.

    Oh I saw one of those in hard rubbish yesterday. Really wanted it but I can’t touch anything :(

    Kmart have the same thing for heaps cheaper: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/8-cube-unit-white/2112866

    Then you can get these if you want (only one of many different colours etc, so search the site for “cube”) https://www.kmart.com.au/product/collapsible-storage-cube---…

    Note if you get 2x collapsible cubes at $5 each and the unit, you qualify for free shipping.

    Otherwise under bed storage if you don’t need frequent access to them https://www.kmart.com.au/product/36l-underbed-storage-contai…

  • Go Kallax but 2nd hand, I got some the other day off Facebook Marketplace for like $40..

    • +1 for this. We bought all our Kallax secondhand for cheap, some already came with boxes/drawers too, and then if you want certain inserts they fit.

    • This 100%. Cheaper, better for the environment, youre putting money directly into the pocket of a person, not a corporation.
      Buying new is usually pointless unless it's for sanitary reasons (obviously there are other reasons too).

    Gumtree? Locals always have stuff they wanna chuck out for cheap. eBay is a 2nd choice with pickup only options.

  • Ikea Billies are cheaper per unit storage space. When you get rid of the clothes, you can use the space to store books.

    How much clothes is too many?

  • Didnt you get those containers from SCA?
    Put some silica gel packets to remove odours and long term storage.

    If you plan to store and need it frequently I would definitely recommend a cube unit or something similar.

    There are heaps of tall boy in gumtree for cheap.
    Also Amart has 25% off till 31st March if something interests you there.

    Otherwise, 8 cube unit from Kmart is decent and cost you around $35

  • Gumtree? Kerbside before council collection?
    Or maybe you've just gotta spring clean your clothes collection

    Bunnings have them! I was looking at them myself.

    There is an upside of being super bored at home, cleaning the flip up!

    The male answer to clothes storage - just drop it on the floor

  • Is this a soliloquy ?
