Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I don't find this book very useful. The photos are high quality, printed on glossy paper, showing glamorous rooms with not a hair out of place, but as practical advice for dealing with the organization of the real stuff that accumulates in a home, this book in no way compares with Marie Kondo's books. Basically, the author has only one simplistic formula to offer -- namely, buy a number of identical storage containers -- baskets, jars, or plastic containers -- and arrange them in symmetrical fashion on a set of shelves. It's a cosmetic solution that looks good in a photo, but few actual houses, unless custom-built, have unlimited sets of shelves in every location where storage is needed. Even if they did, a set of baskets, jars, or plastic containers is not going to be a realistic working and long-term solution for the types and variety of stuff that tends to accumulate in a house and the way that it is actually used.
