The person that stopped watching when price was mentioned is a “ glass half empty” person and doesn’t have the creativity to think outside of the box. I’m glad I saw the other options. Thanks for posting.

I don't often leave comments on YouTube videos but after watching this video in its ENTIRETY, I have to say, it is EXCELLENT! I am so appreciative that you took the time to add other solutions/alternatives to the Dreambox. Your video was refreshing to watch. THANK YOU!

I’m disabled and there is no way I can afford this, but I watched the entire video for the exact reason u said! What can I make that works for me. I have a tall cabinet and I’m looking at ways to tweak it to make it have more vertical storage. Thank u for this. I love to see fellow crafters thinking outside the box and inspiring us to do the same. My crafting epoxy work is my physical therapy and my doctors have seen my improvement because of it. Praise God. Thank u again. Wonderful video !!

I think your Dream Box is awesome and if someone can’t enjoy watching you get your Dream Room, no matter the cost, they are being.... maybe I should stop there. Lol. We all have different lifestyles and we all can teach someone something along the way. I can’t afford one myself, but I organize the way that I can and it’s good enough for me. I started out putting all my yarn in cardboard boxes on their sides. Turned them in to shelves. Lol. It suited its purpose and I was proud of myself. You make due with what God has blessed you with. I love it that your back on the channel. Love your tutorials. Keep it up!!!😀

Agree crafters always have a running imagination, always wondering and perfecting, tweaking their area. Just looking at pictures, patterns and diagrams inspire me. Happy Mother's Day .

[jolenelarson]

Being well-organized and able to find just what you need when you need it= priceless!

[themtnbiker]

Yay, for made in the USA. Yay, for debt free purchasing. Yay, for you Margaret, saving for exactly what you want/need. Also, for putting so much of your own time researching to help others with ideas. Always enjoy watching your videos. Happy Mother's Day!

I love this. My current craft storage is a bedroom closet that utilizes the “ Tetris” method of stacking. This looks like heaven to me.

[lissac]

Right after your last video I went straight to Pintrest and looked at DIY options. I found some amazing things. Plus, you had so many good ideas in your video. I see the value in this and may very well get one someday. My current house won't fit it, just too boxy, but I totally see the value. Enjoy it and keep sharing how it works for you. I also get so many ideas from watching you put your new space together. That is how creativity flows!

[linthiamedeiros]

In regards to your comment about support. I had a shelf that was warped; it's been awhile so I can't give you exact particulars, but I remember that I was quickly sent a replacement part at no cost. I have an original Scrapbox and I still love it. It still is admired by visitors. I, too, would recommend it.

[ladybug]

You raised some good points. I try to watch videos with an open mind and take notes on what I like and think would work for me. To each their own. I just happened to have watched the video you mentioned where the lady took 4 bookcases and combined them into a fold up storage cabinet with the removable table. I have 4 bookcases, and am considering that when I get my guest room cleaned out and start setting it up as my creative space, I might try that idea. I also have some cubby units I have had for ages that I might be able to use in there as well. Thanks for sharing the information.

[jenahammond]

I don’t see myself closing up the box very often, but the alternative ideas were really helpful! I have an entire 20’ wall I can utilize. I am also a builder. I can really appreciate the construction behind this, but if I am going to invest the money and time, I want to use lumber and not particle board. I love the idea of buying the containers first and building around that! Great video! Thanks!

[jazzbrowne]

I can't thank you enough for all the alternative ideas. As I was watching and dreaming about how I can create such a useful space for my paper crafting hobby I quickly realized that the answer for me has been with me for a long time and completely under-utilized. I've got two wall piers that are part of an entertainment center that I currently store useless knick-knacks in. For me, problem solved!!

[SpacequeenLin]

Loved your ideas in the video. A couple years ago I presented my husband with a blueprint I had drawn for a platform upon which a blow-up mattress could be placed to extend the size of my bed. When my son and his family visit, they stay in my bedroom but there was not enough sleeping room for the three of them.. I included several "supporting" boards to be placed on the bottom of the platform. When he told me that it didn't need so much support, I told him that in order to store the platform between visits, it would need to stand up against the wall. I intended to use it for yarn storage. I now have a fantastic storage system that doubles as a bed when needed. I of course make sure I keep it well stocked so it doesn't go to waste!

Hi Margaret, I love your Dreambox. While it might be expensive for some, the ideas you can get from it are FREE. This is how I get my ideas for all my crafts!! Stay safe and Happy Mom's Day!!!

[pkf]

Thanks for letting crafters know they have options. After looking at the Scrapbox longingly for so long, but not feeling like I could justify the expense for my hobby, I came up with an alternative. I saved up and purchased the clear bins from the Original Scrapbox. I put them on 2 bookcases from Wal-Mart. My husband cut some extra shelves and I bought the pegs for them at the hardware store. I get all the storage at a fraction of the price. I can't believe how much stuff fits in those bins!

[leaphillips]

Love my Dreambox. Before, I had a lot of different pieces that I was using to organizing my crafts with a path around the room and now everything is in 1 place as it holds so much that I'm still amazed. While it was an expensive purchase, I knew that it was worth the coat to have a craft room that was organized and you could actually walk into. Eventually, I want to purchase the sew station.

[joyceschneider]

Where have you been??? Wow just what I am looking for. I am retired, have been sharing an office with my husband ( extra bedroom) but my scrapbooking supplies are in 3 different closets and 4 different rooms!!! At 70 yrs old time to get organized for ME!! Thank you.

[maryannezimmerman]

Love the video! I considered this for a long time before pulling the trigger. I’m moving from a 2800 square ft 4 bedroom 3 1/2 bath house to a 2/2 condo with a great room. I began measuring, inspired by Pinterest, thinking I can fabricate what I need. Then I went back to the Dreambox….and ordered one

[mrscb]

I wanted to thank you for these videos. As much as I wanted a Dreambox, I wanted a good review and I had not found one. Yours was fantastic! Now not shows me, this is not what I actually need but it also gave me plenty of ideas of what I could do. It was so inspiring! Thanks again, hope you are still enjoying it 😀
