Hi! I just want to say thank you for your honest review of the DreamBox! I actually work in the manufacturing plant for The Original ScrapBox, it’s just awesome to hear how much people love our product! Our company strives to make sure that we send quality products out the door every time! Seeing how much you like the DreamBox makes our hard work worthwhile! Thank you 😊
Callie Robinson Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for the honest review. I am seriously considering purchasing one and it is comforting to watch a review that is not strictly for 'marketing' purposes.
Welcome! I researched for a few years before I finally did it myself. It sure is a commitment but I do absolutely love it. Thanks for watching and Happy Krafting!
Thanks for doing this. This is by far the most honest review of the Dreambox on RUclips.
Thanks for watching!
Great video Thanks for the free templets!!! I am in the process of ordering mine,..spoiling myself (cause I'm worth it ,...WE ALL ARE) Going all in and getting the dream cart as well!! I have had my craft room for probably 6 years now and trying to find organizing furniture and bins and set up and ugh!!! When I saw this dream box it just solved all my problems!!! Yes it is an investment but I agree we will own this for our lifetime!! and honestly, it would probably cost the same if you were to add up all the money and time just trying to figure out your craft storage system. To me this is a one and done!! less time rearranging my craft room, less money spent on the wrong bins and furniture and my goodness this dream box is sooooo beautiful!!! Function and beauty,.. that's my jam!! Talk about inspiring! Words of encouragement to anyone thinking its out of their reach,... it will happen if you want it to happen it may take some time but anything worth it does, never say never work hard and dream hard and you can have this in your space one day. I am 50 years old was a single mom no high school diploma, waitress, hairdresser, small business owner. You can do it!! and you are worth it. If you can't do it yet it just means your crafting journey isn't over yet. Happy crafting everyone. And big thanks to all the You Tubers for all your hard work, dedication, love and inspiration!!
I love this!!!!! So excited for you! It is a game changer for sure!!
Very helpful video. I had never seen anyone demonstrate it like you did! Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching!
I agree that the price is steep but I finally bit the bullet and ordered mine. I'm not lucky enough to have a room where I can stash all of my supplies so they are spread out all over the house. Because of this, I find myself duplicating supplies. Also, because my supplies are all spread out, I spend more time gathering everything I need than I do actually crafting.
Thanks for the walk through Tracy; it answered a few questions I had and gave me some ideas. I can't wait for mine to arrive so I can finally get organized and start on some projects that I have been wanting to do!
Joanna Credeur so excited for you!!! You are going to love it! I can totally relate to buying things you already have. One more bit of advice that I meant to mention in the video- I recommend using needle nose pliers to place the little clear plastic shelf pegs. There are tons of them and are a little difficult to put in. Your fingers will get a little sore after you do a few. The pliers made it way easier once I figured that out. Best of luck and thank you so much for watching!!
I have the ultimate sewing box and it's changed my life. I love it.
I have one of the echo dots for 29.99 and one of the remotes that you can speak to. I just tell it "alexa" when I walk in the room if I want it on to turn on the Crown light. Then I also use Alexa (the echo dot) to play books, music, answer measuring info 😁
Nancy Sloan yes someone else suggested that and I do have an echo in that room so that is exactly what I am going to do!
Thanks for all the information. I just ordered the Dreambox today and can't wait !
if I had space for that thing, I'd consider getting one of these. Although... they are very expensive.
Thank you for the tour and the review. I just got the Studio Tower and am saving up for the Dreambox.
You will love it!!! Thanks so much for watching!
Kalan, I really enjoyed this video! I have been saving up for this item, hoping that it would be a good decision and worthwhile purchase. As you mentioned, it's a hefty purchase to make, so something to consider, but seems so worth it if you are a serious crafter. Crafting is my therapy, so I guess it would be worth it! You covered topics and concerns that I have been wondering about, so I appreciate you taking the time to create this informative video! In looking over the various comments submitted here, I can see that you are very good about answering questions and providing feedback!
Thanks you for the kind words and watching! It is definitely an investment piece but I have no doubt I will have for a lifetime. I do think it is very good quality and now it even has several add ons since I purchased it. I was looking at it for about 4 years before I bit the bullet. I am excited to say I did pay mine off in 6 months. I have no regrets at all. Best of luck if you do it. And hopefully you saw in the comments my little tip about using needle nose pliers to put in the little plastic shelf pegs. Happy Krafting!
I had the same issue with the doors not closing but bought 2 additional magnet catches at Lowe's. I keep mine in my breakfast nook area and only open when I am working. It is very deep but you could not have so much space if it didn't open twice. I love mine!
Hello! I have a feeling it could be because the floor is not level. I may also put magnets there. But since I keep mine open all the time, it hasn't bothered me. Thanks for watching and Happy Krafting!
So helpful! Thank you!
This is super informative. All of the reviews I have found so far have been sponsered, so it's hard to get a real feel for the product.
If you ever did decide you wanted to keep it closed, inserting small neodynium magnets on each side of the doors right in the front where they meet would be pretty easy, and it should keep them closed.
I agree that would work pretty easy but I do leave it open all the time. However if I ever moved and had to keep in a smaller area I would definitely do that. It's probably because my floor is not level. Thanks so much for watching!
They have a child safety latch for the top. That will keep it fully closed but since you have a crown I don't think you can use it. Maybe you can purchase and apply it to the bottom.
Thanks so much for that tip!
For the price it made out of partial board. I was surprised
If I had that much disposable income, I would buy one.
Lovin'Life2016 I just watched a video where the lady took 4 bookshelves and added hinges so they closed. It was under 200!!! It was amazing. It just came on my timeline. I didn’t even search from it! Lol
Wendy Janes me too! I just watched it, 😂
Plus this dreambox falls apart, i have seen several videos about how this doesnt hold up over time. The guy I saw had this nearly fall on him. And it doesnt do well on carpet floors. I also read that many of the reviews on line are paid. Doesnt seem like this lady was paid
Hi! And thank you for doing this video! I didn't see an option to get a magnet board. I'd like One for My Dies. So many and I like to see what I have so I don't buy 2 of the same thing! LOL!! I'm getting mine delivered Tuesday and I know it's going to be a challenge to put together. If it's too late for the magnet board, I'll have to figure something else out. But thanks for sharing the details of the ups and downs but overall I think it's going to be great!!
Happy Crafting!!
Thanks so much for watching. You can absolutely still buy the magnetic boards. It’s just an accessory and you can add that on at any time. But just remember to only buy one set to start and then see if you need more after the fact. One set contains two pieces for the top and the bottom. I am sure you’re going to love it. Good luck!!
@@KalansKrafting
Great! I'll order it today! Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly!! I'm very excited to get it together and begin to really make lots of beautiful creations!
I'm so disorganized right now!! Lol 😂
Love these I’ve been looking at them, and there has been ads on Facebook for them for around $60 I was thinking it’s a scam🤷♀️ as obviously yours wasn’t cheap. Can you tell me the depth size of it from the wall to the front closed and the width of it opened please I have a much smaller craft room at home.☺️
Definitely a scam!!! You can find all of the dimensions here: www.theoriginalscrapbox.com/pages/dreambox-detail#section_dimension
the 60.00 is the monthly amount... they now offer financing
Here's a super easy, less expensive, DIY version of the DreamBox: ruclips.net/video/9j8N3CNxGhQ/видео.html
OMG thats a great alternative, especially for someone like me working on a budget!!!! Thank you for sharing this!
Typically speaking, the problem with the doors not staying closed has more to do with an unlevel floor. You'd be hard pressed to find a house that has perfectly level floors, and even straight walls throughout. You could shim under the caster on that one side, the one on the FRONT ONLY (when closed). Trial and error, just shim a little bit at a time until it does stay closed, which will be a pain to remove everything on that side, lay it down to shim, reattach, and do again if needed, but it would be the answer to that which would drive me up the wall too! Otherwise, try a different location for if, if possible.
Yes I mentioned in another comment that I suspected it had to do with the floor not being level. Since I do not close mine I am not really concerned but if I ever move it somewhere and have the same issue I would definitely try to address it. I would actually just add a magnet and that would be a fairly simple way to fix it. Thanks so much for the tip and thanks for watching!!
@@KalansKrafting YW, I just ran across your page for the first time (another sleepless night 🙃). It was just my two cents anyway, not important.
Absolutely important!
Great review, thank you! Is there some sort of brace for the top? That's the only thing I can't seem to find in a review. I do love some of the additional notes you gave that isn't in some of the other reviews (like the doors not closing, etc).
Cheryll Aldridge there absolutely is a safety brace that came with it but I did not use it since I did not think it was necessary. I leave it open all the time with the table set up so there is enough support that I feel it can't tip forward. The doors not closing could be because my floor is not level but I am just not sure. Thank you so very much for watching my video and if you get one I really do think you won't be disappointed.
The 12 x 12 bins for paper, how much weight does that middle section hold? I too have alot of paper and worry about the weight. I would love to have one of those for my cricut and sewing room.
Wulfgeist hello! It is very sturdy and holds quite a bit. I have 4 or so paper pads in each one with no problems.
I had this idea for my own storage, but my concept was bigger boxes. but any way. I was thinking if you get to much weight on the side doors and too much weight all around will this cabinet be able to hold what an average crafter stores. I see a sewing machine . I have all multiple heavy items to store. Is this press wood or something solid. Or just a one year if not 2 year item?
Oh this cabinet is VERY well made. Mine is loaded to the hilt now and I have no issues at all. it will last my lifetime for sure. it is a manufactured material and not solid wood, but it is very high quality. I do leave mine open all the time but close to move around to clean underneath and it is a very solid piece of furniture.
I have a scrap box and had the worst time getting those little clear plastic shelf thingies to cooperate. Did you have any issues with them?
I did! And I totally forgot to mention a tip in the video where you can use needle nose pliers to pop them in. Once I discovered that (of course halfway through the process) it was 1000% easier!
Can i get this in the uk
Awesome!
Can I ask what bin package did you pick, just the amount that came with or the extra set they sell?
Yes I just got the set that came with it and only added the tool cubby for pens and the magnetic white boards. I am considering adding the shallow totes at some point.
Does it seem sturdy like kitchen cabinets, or is it like that furniture you find with big box store furniture?
Well I would say it is somewhere in between. I have had some flimsy particle board furniture and it is NOT that. It is definitely very sturdy and I have no worries of warping. But having said that, it is not wood either. I do feel it is very high quality. I hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching!
That's me figuring out where I want to put stuff
May I ask how long was delivery for you? I’m in Michigan and don’t want it delivered in a snowstorm?
Hi Ann Marie! It took about 3 weeks for mine.
I would recommend calling them to see what estimated delivery would be from the time that you order. I know it has to do with how many they have in inventory, so it can vary. I was originally told 4 to 6 weeks and then it came sooner. I hope you love it as much as I love mine. Best of luck and thanks for watching my video!
Would you say this is more for people who do crafts vs just sew?
Well it can certainly be used for many different purposes but the company does have a companion piece that is specific for sewing.
Very informative 👍😊
Can you plug the crown light into an Alexa compatible outlet? “Alexa turn on my cabinet light!”
That is a FANTASTIC idea! I have them all over my house and it never occurred to me to do that! Thank you!!!
i didn't see your comment but that's exactly what i do
I stole a plug from another room in my house that we never use and Voila! Problem solved!!
prices of dream box
Hello there I was wondering if the wheels have locks on them?
Hello. Sorry it took so long to respond. I had to remember to look when I was home. The wheels DO NOT lock on mine. But it did come with a safety strap for attaching to the wall. I don't know if that helps for what you're looking for. Thanks so much for watching
@@KalansKrafting thank you.
What did you do with the crate that the item came in that is my concern if I were to purchase this what happens or what will I do with the crates
We broke it down and our recycling company took it.
I know this is 1 year from your post, but...FYI....You could also makes awesome things out of crates and pallets.
Very True! We just recently made a raised garden bed from some pallets!
U may want to watch the video “I made my own scrap box” video before u decide. This women made her own for under $200.
@@TruthIsFreedom7777 and I'm sure that's an added expense to the unit.
How deep is this & how wide is it when open? Thanks for a awesome video.
You can find the dimensions here: www.theoriginalscrapbox.com/pages/dreambox-detail#section_dimension
34" deep x 37" wide x 6' tall
Kalan's Krafting Studio how deep is it when the sides are open? Wandering about putting something else behind the sides that open. Thanks
Laura Ann There is room behind the very ends. I store my photography lighting behind them. I would say there's about 1 1/2 - 2 feet.
Hi there. I purchased this same box you have except I got the pre-built option. I noticed your crown looks like mine but I just saw another RUclips video with the same dream box dnd it had a crown but had actual crown molding around the top. I'm wondering why ours didn't come with that. Any thoughts on that?
Tammy ohhh interesting! No I have not see one like that. Perhaps it's just an updated style. They seem to change their offerings quite a bit.
@@KalansKrafting Actually most of the comments were from a year ago. On RUclips search "Workbox in a She-shed!!". It's a review done by Sarah at SunnySouthLove. You can see what I mean about the crown. I sent a message asking about it. It looks like it's from the original scrap box channel.
Tammy I saw it. It is pretty and does give it a more finished look but I'm wondering if it went with a different style front. I am ok with the one I have though. Her she-shed is absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing that video and thank you for watching mine!
@@KalansKrafting I'm trying to find ideas on organizing and decorating my box. You have some helpful tips so I appreciate that. I'm actually a soap maker so my products aren't so pretty in the box. It's mostly raw ingredients that aren't all that colorful. Lol. The display I have for the finished products is nice but I'm trying to jazz up my box so it looks more fun! I'm not too concerned either about the crown molding I just found it interesting when I ran across it. I wish I had room for a she shed but I live in a condo so that's not possible but that sure would be nice. Thanks again for your video it's very helpful!! 💕
No entendí nada pero qué mueble tan hermoso y espectacular. Me gustaría saber todo lo que está explicando por favor traduzca. Saludos desde Chiapas, México 🙅 ❤

@@KalansKrafting gracias por responder es usted muy amable
Over $2000 in price and s a bit steep.
Melissa I don’t disagree. I waited several years to purchase myself. It’s a huge decision for many. I just made my final payment last week and have no regrets. I just decided I had to have it.
Thank you!

i watch this video 5 times and still don't know what the shirt say
Hahah it’s for the rock band “The Struts”.
Hhhhhhhhh
When no one will give you anprice then you know the average person cant afford it. I wont bother watching the rest if it. Sales gimmicks
This is not a sales gimmick and at the end I absolutely talk about what I paid. As stated in the information section under the video, the company gave me nothing to do this video and I purchased with my own hard-earned money. I just enjoy sharing my experiences. Personally, I make sure to have all the facts before passing judgement and posting uninformed comments on others pages. I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Watch the video where the girl makes one of these for under 200$❣️✌️
Thousands of dollars for book cases is outrageous when you can build them.
That is awesome you are that handy! I am not when it comes to building furniture.
