The 10 Best Underbed Drawers

This Sterilite Fresh Scent Box (appx. $64) makes musty odors a thing of the past, since it has a ventilation compartment at the top that holds a standard dryer sheet to provide a clean smell. The lid latches tightly, too, to keep everything inside nice and secure.

The tough cotton ropes on the StorageWorks Foldable (around $30) make them easy to yank out when needed, but without worrying about the handle ripping off in your hands. They boast elegant styling, so you could just as easily leave them sitting out as stash them away.

If you have more footwear than can fit in your closet, the Ziz Shoe Organizer (about $13) is just the ticket. You can count on the zippered cover to keep dust off your kicks, while the cardboard base helps it slide smoothly over your floor when you need to access it.

Classier than your typical clear plastic option, the DormCo Storage Max (appx. $65) is made of attractive wood, so you won't be embarrassed if someone takes a peek under your bed skirt. You can load it up but still pull it out with ease thanks to swiveling wheels.

It resembles a picnic basket, but the Iwill Create Pro Lidded (appx. $29) holds quite a bit of stuff, and has a removable divider that lets you configure it however you like. The delicate polka dot design is visually appealing, no matter which color you select.

Each Sterilite ClearView (around $36) may be small, but they're inexpensive, so you can stock up on as many as you need. The lock-down lids ensure that they don't come apart at the wrong time, allowing you to carry them without fear — even if they have Legos inside.

Thanks to their reinforced seams, the Whitmor Jumbo (appx. $12) can secure quite a bit of your stuff, making this two-piece set a great choice for holding all the junk you don't use, but can't bear to throw away. The brown styling is a little bland and old-fashioned, though.

If you need a heavy-duty container, the Pragma Bed Bin (around $204) has a steel frame that enables it to support up to 80 pounds comfortably. Don't worry if you overload it, though — it's on casters, so you can drag it around instead of having to pick it up and carry it.

While specifically designed to fit under most of the Swedish designer's bed frames, the Ikea Skubb (appx. $28) should also slide under almost any raised bed. They're black, so they'll sit discreetly in the dark, and the sleek polyester wipes clean more easily than some fabrics.

This ClosetMaid Fabric (appx. $10) is equipped with a sturdy zippered closure that keeps everything inside safe from dust, hungry moths, and insects. It also includes a label on the front for easy and quick identification of the contents.
