Shortly after we first introduced it, our 3-Tier Cart quickly became one of our most popular storage solutions--and why not? With its customizable array of accessories--including pegboards, pencil cups, trays, and dividers--it's perfect for virtually any area of the home. It's now been put to good use in countless home offices, play rooms, craft rooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and class rooms, and we love seeing the delight on our customers' faces when they successfully create their own tidy, mobile storage units.

Among the most recent converts to the ways of the 3-Tier Cart are our very own Brand Ambassadors. Several of them now utilize the cart (and a number of our other fabulous products) in their own offices and work spaces, and you can see the results of their latest organization projects below.

April Karschner

Lifestyle blogger April Karschner set about organizing her kids' school desk space. "Last year, we spent a lot of time running up and down two flights of stairs to get our school supplies. It's one of the challenges of living in a small space-- [you have to] store things where you can," she explains. Now, with the addition of the 3-Tier Cart and a number of items from our Linen Marten Desktop Collection, she feels things are much more under control and within easy reach. "Thanks to our new desk organizers from The Container Store, everything is now at our finger tips," April says. "We have storage for papers and projects, a new place for our pre-K supplies, and it's still aesthetically pleasing for mom to look at."¿

Alice Choi

Foodie and cooking blogger Alice Choi also used the 3-Tier Cart to organize her kid's work space. "I let Madeline, my youngest, organize her desk," she says. "Pens, notepads, books, pencils, erasers and more--everything she needs to be creative! And now everything has a place on her desk thanks to the White Stockholm Collection and this fantastic White 3-Tier Rolling Cart!" With Madeline's creativity space now stocked with her favorite stuffed animals, Harry Potter books, and art supplies, she's ready to let her imagination run wild!

Lindsay DiPonzio

Lifestyle blogger Lindsay DiPonzio also utilizes the 3-Tier Cart in her child's room, but in this case her precious baby is still on the way. "I decided to get creative with items from The Container Store and turned this 3-Tier Rolling Cart into a diapering station for Lilliana's nursery!" she explains. "It comes in seven colors, and this soft blush is PERFECT!" By choosing to assemble the cart without the wheels (in order to make it more of a permanent nursery fixture) and filling it with Organizer Trays and Clear Plastic Storage Bins with Handles, this enthusiastic expectant mom and her happy husband will now be able to access all those diapers, wipes, and (this is crucial) the hand sanitizer with ease.

Azure MacCannell

Professional organizer Azure MacCannell took her organization project in a slightly different direction and decided to show her social media followers how to create a family "action center." Explaining that many people consult her about overwhelming amounts of paper clutter, she set about creating a system that, in her own words, "has worked for countless clients, myself included!" After designating a specific use for each tier of the cart--the top for files, the middle for office supplies, and the bottom for kids' papers--she implemented Clear Book Bins and a Sliding Organizer Tray to help keep everything straight. For other parts of the home office, she highly recommends our clear Acrylic Desktop File and Mail Center. "I like the desktop acrylic because I can swap out my folders when I'm feeling 'edgy,'" she jokes.

Leslie Marshall

Another big proponent of the 3-Tier Cart for home office use is professional organizer Leslie Marshall. "The Container Store has hundreds of organization products to help maximize any home office space! But don't forget to add the 3-Tier Cart to allow you to make the most of tight spaces in your home!" she suggests. After completing some final organizing touches--along with the inclusion of the Linen Marten Desktop Collection and some Tall SmartStore Inserts--her work space looked better than ever. (Leslie's final tip: "I will always have snacks nearby." We couldn't agree more!)
