ClosetMaid has a full range of organizational products that bring you solutions for your family room, bedrooms, kitchens, home office, laundry rooms, and even your garage! They offer pieces that are easy to install yourself with affordable prices.

As you are preparing for Back to School this year, it’s time to take a step to get organized as well to help keep the backpack and shoe clutter contained and out of the way! Check out a few of their great products that can help!

The ClosetMaid Activity Table and Fabric Drawers combine for a perfect setup for crafts, play, and learning with young children! My young boys have enjoying setting up dominoes, coloring, craft time, reading, and other fun educational learning activities at the activity table through the end of summer. This table is a perfect height and size to accommodate several children and lots of space for sprawling out a variety of different activities.

It is a VERY sturdy table and the design is perfect for keeping things organized and tidy in the storage cubical. The table is made with a laminate wood to keep the price very affordable however the top is easily stained. My children already got crayon marks and snack grease stains that show on the top from muffins.

The Fabric Drawers are the perfect addition to the activity table with really nice color options, two nice quality reinforced handles, and two convenient sizes – medium and large. These fabric bins fit perfectly inside the cubeicals with the large bins going completely to the top of the storage square and the medium bins filling up half the height of the cube giving very easy access to the toys or items stored inside. The bins have made cleanup much easier and given a home to a variety of items at the table making playtime and learning easy and fun!

The Mop and Broom Holder has given us a great solution for storing backpacks and coats, as well as cleaning tools as well in our hall closet. As our home has one main hall closet, everything goes right there in the same closet.

This was the perfect solution to corral our brooms and mop along with giving us a nice place to store back to school items within easy reach for my 5 year old that isn’t in the way or cluttering up the entryway. Installing the Mop and Broom Holder was simple and it has worked great for giving us a designated spot in the closet for storage that helps us keep the hall closet more organized.

Another great item from ClosetMaid that has helped us get organized and ready for back to school is their 25 Shoe Cube Organizer! As a family of 5, shoes always seem to be EVERYWHERE! However, finding shoes and matches when it is time to head out the door seems to be an impossible task.

This Shoe Organizer has been awesome for helping to keep shoes contained and organized so my kids know right where to put their shoes as well as where to find them when we are ready to go. I gave each of us one row with 5 cubes which lets my kids each have up to 5 pairs of shoes and my husband and I fit about 3 pairs across our rows.

With everyone knowing right where their row it finding shoes really has become so much easier! This will definitely help us make our way out the door much faster in the mornings as we head off to school! We added two of the Large Fabric Bins on top to corral sunglasses, scarves, hats, mail, or any other miscellaneous items we need right in easy reach as we head out the door!

  17. I think the shoe rack would come in handy in our house, we are always hunting down shoes.

  19. The 2 door organizer (and all the stackable storage) would be great to get the kids organized!

  24. I’d love a Cubeical with baskets for keeping our hats, gloves, and shoes organized for a quick run out the door to catch the bus!

  30. I like the 2 Door Organizer. Great for organizing and has a door for keeping stuff out of sight : )

  32. Cubicals 3 Cube Bench would be great at the front door to hold the backpacks and shoes.

  45. The 3 Cube Bench would be great for putting their school shoes in so their not looking for them in the morning.聽 This way they have their shoes and a place to sit down to put them on.

  49. I think their Pantry Cabinet would be great to keep snacks in for school, but also you could use it for the kid’s paper, markers, etc. that they need for school work too!

  50. My brother and wife have this wire drawer system for their laundry and I always wanted one. They use them to sort laundry and then toss the batches in …they keep the clothing “aired” out till they get to them, unlike many laundry baskets. What a handy item to keep ahead of all that school/sports laundry coming up. G’Lord it gets overwhelming! 聽My daughter would LOVE this table for her day care in our home! Great idea in design!

  54. The “Storage Locker” would be very convenient to hang coats, umbrellas, etc. and then having storage at the bottom is a plus.

  55. I really like the “Cubeicals 9 Cube Organizer” to prepare for back to school. 聽My daughter really needs this for her toys.

  61. 聽I also like the storage locker in white. Would be nice to have by the front door for catching shoes and coats.

  84. I think 聽the 9 cube organizer would be perfect for getting school items organized! 聽Sonya Morris

  90. I like the Single Hooks so I could hang them in the mudroom and the kids could hang their backpacks there at night.聽 That way there would be no searching in the morning.

  97. Cube storage looks great for my teen’s room. 聽We homeschool, so he could store a lot of books and materials there.

  106. Another item that would be great would be the Pantry Cabinet. 聽It could be used for storing extra school supplies and art supplies. And then they can be hidden behind doors! 聽Love it!

  110. The Storage Locker looks perfect for school stuff. There are two cubes and two hooks, which is great for backpacks and jackets.

  111. The聽4 Tier Rolling Cart would be great for organizing things that need to go with my son in the morning so that it’s all in one place by the door 馃檪

  119. I like the聽4 Tier Rolling Cart – I can think of so many great uses for the school year… in the rooms to separate/organize clothing for the week. 聽By the front door for backpacks and other things the kids need to grab as we are leaving in the morning.

  127. The 3 cube bench would help get mornings more organized and help us out the door a lot quicker!

  141. I think the聽4 Tier Rolling Cart is a great back to school item. It could hold lots of school stuff and just organize. BTW this giveway is my favorite so far! 馃檪聽

  144. The storage locker would be a great thing to have for books, backpacks and any other thing the kids bring home from school.

  146. The 25 In. Wood Closet Organizer Starter Kit would be a great Back to School addition to keep the new school clothes/shoes/accessories organized.

  162. I like the聽http://store.closetmaid.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10051&storeId=10151&langId=-1&top_category=10001&parent_category_rn=10054&categoryId=10087

  166. The three cube bench would be great in a hall for taking off shoes and backpacks, or the storage locker would be good for the same thing. 聽
