I think The Container Store is a good concept. The problem is the prices. You can go to Walmart down the street or on Amazon and buy the same thing for less, often much less. $79 for a wicker basket or $25 for a bento box is ridiculous. I know that is how much things cost because I was just in there last week looking for those exact things. With few exceptions, everything is too expensive.
