Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

I consider myself, by average standards, to be fairly organized and somewhat innovative in figuring out storage options for everything from linens to scrap lumber in my home and workshop, but when Sunset Books says "complete" book of home storage, they're not kidding! There are lots of great ideas I never thought of, diagrams, suggestions, plans. I particularly liked their attention to using otherwise "dead" space for inventive storage, and like all of Sunset's how-to books, clear illustrations and great photographs make theoretical ideas easy to imagine, plan, and realize in your own home. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Ideas--No How-To's, January 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Complete Home Storage: The Perfect Storage Solutions for Your Home (Paperback)

Full of wonderful ideas but they give sparse directions on how-to's or they say "available comercially". You just have to guess the rest? I love the ideas but instructions and product resources are sorely lacking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea book!, July 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Complete Home Storage: The Perfect Storage Solutions for Your Home (Paperback)

This book covers everything from movable to built-in, From roof to cellar. I found so many great ideas in this book. I think that if I implement only half of what I see and like I will have PLENTY of storage space and increase the value of my home immeasurably. I recomend this book if you are considering building, remodeling, or just need more space for your collection of "stuff".

3.0 out of 5 stars More of a Idea Picture Book than a detailed how-to book, October 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Complete Home Storage: The Perfect Storage Solutions for Your Home (Paperback)

This book packs in a lot of innovative, pictured ideas. However, it does not spend enough time on the detailed how-to instructions that I was looking to find.
