Getting organized with CSN Stores {Review}

When deciding on what to review from CSN stores I had thought about getting a second piece to the Disney Fairies Set, but since space is limited and my own stuff is in desperate need for organizing I decided to go with something for myself.

I chose the Iris 6 drawer cart which is not a new product to me. I actually have seen and used them in the past so I already knew how handy these were to have. This one has 6 drawers and is the perfect size to organize your papers or or other small items. I also have one of the Iris 4 drawer carts which is perfect for the kids crafting items.

It arrives in the mail nearly fully assembled - you only need to attach the wheels by sticking them into a hole at the bottom which literally takes about a minute. Each drawer has a plastic piece that stops it from coming completely out, and the top is molded for even more organization. The drawers are about 3" deep, 13" long, and 10" across. The entire unit is about 26" tall, 12" wide and 13.5" deep.

Being plastic, it can break which is one downside to ordering online rather than buying locally. It looks like it might have been dropped somewhere along the line, and it did come with a crack in one corner, and another corner which is loose. (As in, it seems like the 3 corners are either glued or snapped into place where as one corner is not). It's only a problem if I want to try and pick the entire unit up and carry it around, but since it does have wheels I won't be picking it up all too often.

Now, this is where CSN Stores left me beyond impressed. I sent in a damaged item ticket with my photos and within an hour I got an email notification that they were sending a replacement. I quickly sent them an email back that I did not need a replacement and that I no longer had the packaging in order to return this one, and I got my response within minutes letting me know that I didn't have to send it back since it was damaged. I also mentioned the faulty bolt that I talked about in my previous review, and they ordered a replacement bolt for me too.

My experience with returning items is minimal, but I think it is safe to say that this is the best customer service I have ever received from an online store! I have received damaged or not as expected items in the mail in the past, and have had companies who either didn't bother to respond at all as well as companies who basically told me that since I didn't buy insurance that it was my problem. CSN Stores has gone above and beyond my expectations when it comes to online shopping and I just can't stress enough how highly I recommend them.

As a Canadian, I was originally put off my the international fees that they added to our orders but now that I have fully experienced their level of customer care I don't mind paying a little more for the convenience of quick shipping to my door. If you need some help organizing in your home, I would highly recommend these storage units. They come in several different sizes at very reasonable prices, and you can't go wrong with customer service like that! Even if you don't need to organize, with CSN Store's massive inventory and over 200 stores I can guarantee you will find something that catches your eye.

Disney Fairies Wooden Toy Box {CSN Stores Review}

With 200+ sites and thousands of items it can be hard to settle on just one from CSN Stores so it took me quite a while to choose. My toddler's name means "Fairy Queen" and I initially fell in love with the Disney Fairies toddler bed with canopy:

I still hope to get the toddler bed before my daughter is too big for it, but it has been out of stock for quite a while and sold out fast the last time they had it in! Since I wasn't able to get the bed, I finally settled on the Disney Fairies Wooden Toy Box for my first review. My daughter doesn't have her own room yet, but there are a total of eight pieces in the Disney Fairies Collection that would make for an adorable Fairy themed toddler bedroom.

I have actually had this item for quite a while, I will admit I was afraid I wouldn't be able to put it together myself so waited until I could get a friend to help me out with it. I don't have people over very often so it did take much longer than I had intended but we finally got it put together. I helped him with it, but it really was quite easy and turned out I probably could have done it on my own too.

The toy box comes in six pieces, plus the bag of hardware. The top and side panels are made out of a 1/2" thick wood, but the bottom is a thinner fiberboard like what most dresser drawers have. I thought I was going to be able to say everything went smoothly without any problems but when we got to the last bolt that all changed. The last bolt seems to have been flawed and had metal splinters in the threads so we were not able to put it in properly. The toy box is still usable and sturdy, but the one bolt is sticking out on the side until I can get a new one.

The faulty bolt sticking out

The lid has a hinge that stops it from slamming shut, and there is also a handhold so that little hands can easily open and close the box to get at their toys. It measures about 24.5" long, 13" tall and 15" deep so isn't very large, just the right size for my toddler and her toys. It is also big enough for two kids to use as a bench, and strong enough for an adult to sit on without damaging it. The top, front, and side panels are all decorated with different colorful images of Tinkerbell and her friends so it is super cute to look at if you like fairies too. Each side has a handle so that you can move the box around if needed as well.

CSN Stores recently added a wish list feature which I was happy to see because they have so many items that I would like to have that it was hard to remember them all. Have you added anything to your wish list yet?

{Cool for School} CSN Stores

I was chosen as a preferred blogger by CSN stores a while ago so even though I will be posting a review in the next few days, I will have more reviews coming up! CSN stores carries thousands of items, many with free shipping!

With back to school right around the corner, CSN stores is your one stop shop where you can get everything from Dining Room Tables to school supplies like backpacks, lunchbags, and notebooks. College students can shop for a new computer chair and even a desk or bedding for their dorm room! I find these Roommate Mini Rag Dolls to be super cute personally.

I love CSN Stores so much that I decided to give a little something away before I post my review! I have won quite a few CSN Gift Card giveaways, and would like to give one of the codes I have won to one of my readers! I have been getting low entries in my giveaways and want to see that change! The more entries I get, the more giveaways I can offer and if this one goes well I will post more gift cards in the future.

Win it!

I have a $20 Gift Code that I would like to give away!
