Jim Akerhielm said: This clearly fills a defined need. Solves very efficiently for storage space limiations in a convenient and safe manner. Awesome.
Andrea B. said: My husband and I have been looking at overhead storage for our garage for a long time. We just can't seem to find what we are looking for; until now. I am so excited to see this invention and know it will be a hit!
Allison E. said: Fabulous idea! This product should be in every Walmart and local hardware store...
Frank J. Spano said: Trey, I believe you have developed a unique product for the American Homeowner that surpasses all the other Garage organizer in the market. This will definetly be a huge help for the senior citzens that have a hard time physically to lift objects. God Bless America Made Products!
B. Russell said: That is a fantastic concept and would benefit anyone with storage issues. I suspect you could install this in a basement or attic, too.
Dirk Fox said: This idea is so useful that it should be mandated by law. Imagine never having to breathe in or crawl in fiberglass insulation any more.
Billie Merrell said: Wow, this has got to be the best invention since ice cream! It is very clever. I want several; two in my garage and two in my store house.
Randall said: Definitely a great idea for storing those Christmas decoration items.
Lori D. said: Now why didn't I think of this! I am very impressed with this concept and would definitely purchase one for my garage. It allows you to add more storage space to your garage but also keep a neat and organized feel, with your car inside!
Alan A. said: You've just managed to make great use of all that empty space, really neat!
Sherry Jackson said: Very cool! I want one for my garage!
Margaret said: I would definately buy this. One of the best ideas I've seen in a while. Now we can have room for our cars!!!
Logan Metcalfe said: Cool invention and would really help people clear up their garage clutter!
Jim McQueen said: Very cool design...easy to use. We are always looking for ways to reduce clutter and make better use of space.
Toby Louris said: The best ideas are the simpliest. This is a great concept.
Kristine said: This would be perfect for my overcrowded garage.
Carolyn M said: This is such a great idea - all that wasted space above us can be utilized for storage in a safe way. The uses for the StorageTrey is limitless.
Nancy S. said: Wow! What a great idea. We are in need of more shelf space in our garage but have run out of walls! This looks like a solution we could use.
Cynthia L. said: Wow! How perfect for campers and hunters! We have a HUGE tent, lanterns, cook-stoves,bins etc. that we store in the attic..what a pain! This would be ideal in the locked shelve mode! Also...for party goods...folding tables, chairs, and accessories! Okay..also for all the Christmas decorations. I'm wondering if you can install two of these in a standard garage.
Ravi said: I have two car garage and it is very difficult to park both the car when you shelf built on the side wall. This storage tool will give me flexibility to put stuff on ceiling rather than on sides and not worry about breaking side mirror of your car.
Laurie Smythe said: This is really unique. I am a real estate agent and I would definitely tell my clients about this invention!!
Jessie W. said: I have to say this is pretty darn neat. No more ladder to get the boxes off of the other over head storage I have.
Linda H. said: This is a God-send!! If you saw my garage you would understand!!
Lauren said: Wow! This is a fantastic idea for American households everywhere. I love how it is so easy to operate and convenient.
Richard M. said: Finally storage for short guys! That hoist would definitely be used around my house.
Larry L. Anderson said: There's always a need for extra storage. And there is always things one doesn't use but once in a while.These are the things that get in the way. Great idea that I see many more applications for.
Preeti said: Wow...I've already started thinking about what all items I can store, the seasonal decoration stuff, tools like edger & other garden specifics(which I need only at summer time),extra paint boxes,those big storage boxes that are currently occupying my garage & walk-in-closets. It surely is a wonderful product for clean freak people & surely is kids friendly.
Earle said: Great idea. Good for storage of paints, oil, tools and all other items sitting in your garage floor.
Corey Crowley said: This is a great idea, I would love to have one of these in my garage!
Tom King said: Awesome! This would be great for getting all of the little things in my garage up off the floor for a much neater appearance.
David J. said: Awesome! I am building a new home this year. I want one or more!!
Susanne Hite said: I really like this. Everyone's garage is a giant mess...nice to see a convenient way to eliminate the clutter!
Frankie said: I would love to have this storage system for my garage but even more for my attic. This is so awesome and so organized...I'll take 2
Cari Boyd said: Not only do I need this for all the "stuff" that I need kept out of the reach of little people. My parents pay money for a storage unit every month just so they can fit both of their cars in the garage. What an amazing invention.
Trent said: Great storage idea. On one ever has enough storage space even in a very large home. Now maybe they can get both cars in the garage.
Lara Padgett said: I am always worried about sharp tools hanging on the wall in the garage and the pool chemicals being stored away from kids and pets. This would be a perfect way to store them.
Karen Gibbs said: This is totally awesome. I really love ALL the optional uses, especially the lift. Looks very sturdy too and the entire family would benefit from it. I want one.
Tom Rawls said: This would be a great way to store all the basement clutter that I have. Excellent idea!
Jay Capilo said: I have a two car garage but only fits one of my cars due to junks, tools, etc. occupying almost half of it. This would be perfect for me to save space and better organize my stuff. Great idea!!!
Kim Avila said: This is the best idea I have seen for storage. It keeps the clutter managed and it is clean and tidy looking. Gives you plenty of space for the items that should really go in the garage.
Michael Allen said: I could see this having industrial applications as well. Very handy idea.
Michael Plante said: This is cool. Seriously, why hasn't someone thought of this before? A lot of garages, especially in newer townhomes are so small you can barely fit a car in them. what a great use of that wasted space above the garage door! I actually need to sharpen my lawnmover blade right now and have been putting it off!!!
Michelle Gimmi said: This is ingenious!It's perfect for my neat freak husband who hates to see his garage messy!
Angelia McClanahan said: This is great! I could use a couple of these in my garage to help clean up some of the mess!
Jessica Gallman said: We have very high ceilings in our garage and have looked at Lowes and Home Depot to no avail for a storage solution for that space. The StorageTrey is just what we have been looking for. The fact the shelves stay upright will protect valuable Christmas decorations, etc.
Keith Coker said: Seems like it would work well to organize all of my kids items. They could even get their own things down without worry of them falling off the ladder.
Tom Houlihan said: This is brilliant ! It moves all those miscellaneous items up above the garage door, out of the way! I need a couple.
Steve Wells said: This is a great idea. Very clever. I can see lots of uses for this in my woodworking shop. The self-leveling trays make it something that would work well for my stains and varnishes. Those things currently take up floor space in a cabinet that would be better devoted to a lathe.
Fabian Leiker said: For houses that don't have much storage space, this is very good. Almost every house in my neighborhood has their garage door opened on Saturday and Sunday. You can see almost every garage is packed with the cars parked outside. In the south, there aren't many basements. I have seen storage ideas before, but this is the best one I have seen to date.
Jim Lawrence said: Fantastic design and execution. The hoist is a clincher. I'm going to spend the rest of the night dreaming up new uses for it in my garage.
Alice Johnson said: This Is a Winner. Every Home should have at least 1.
Jeff Sivori said: I definitely need this storage. I have limited space in my garage for conventional shelves. This would allow me to get something out of the useless space above the garage door.
Blake Zimmerman said: This is a great device. I have shelves in the top of my garage now but I have to use a ladder to get to them. This would be awesome!
Email comment: I think this is a very neat idea!! Even those of us with basements need more room to store the garage stuff that you don't want in your house, yet you have run out room in the garage.
