Create Room DreamBox XL vs Storage 4 Crafts Allstore Hartland 160

Buy the DreamBox XL if you want a full craft room in one piece of furniture: about 400 gallons of storage, 120 clear totes, a fold-out work table and crown LED lighting, all in a unit that looks like a built-in. Buy the Hartland 160 if you need a compact tower for a first stash or an overflow corner and don't need a work surface. The DreamBox is the sturdier, more capable build and owners rate it 4.9 out of 5, though some report assembly errors and blemishes on arrival. The Hartland is simpler, smaller and easier to place, but it holds far less and its shelves are fixed.

  • Choose the DreamBox XL if you want maximum capacity, clear totes you can see into, and a built-in table so you can work right at the unit.
  • Choose the Hartland 160 if you have limited floor space and want a narrow tower that holds machines and supplies against a wall or as a room divider.

What reviewers say

Create Room DreamBox XL

  • 4.9 / 521 ratings

Owners rate the DreamBox XL highly, praising its capacity, the visibility of the clear totes and its built-in furniture look. Complaints center on assembly instructions, storing 12x12 paper upright and occasional blemishes on arrival.

What people mention
  • Storage capacityPraisedOwners say it swallows machines, acrylic sheets, fabric and supplies that used to be scattered.
  • VisibilityPraisedClear totes keep supplies in view and within arm's reach, which owners say makes starting and cleanup easier.
  • Build and looksPraisedBuyers describe it as well built and looking like custom built-in furniture.
  • AssemblyCriticisedInstructions have errors and mislabeled steps, though the pre-assembled option avoided that for some buyers.

Questions and answers

Which is better for sewing machines and large supplies?
The DreamBox XL. Its large InView totes and deep shelves take machines, acrylic sheets and bulky supplies, and the fold-out table gives you a place to sew. The Hartland holds a machine on a shelf but has no work surface.
Which holds more, the DreamBox XL or the Hartland 160?
The DreamBox XL by a wide margin: about 400 gallons against roughly 160 liters in the Hartland. The Hartland is meant as a starter or overflow unit, not a full craft room.
Which is easier to assemble?
The Hartland is the simpler flat-pack tower. The DreamBox is a large unit whose instructions have known errors and mislabeled steps, so the pre-assembled option is worth considering if you want it set up in about a day.
Is the DreamBox XL worth stepping up to from a small tower?
If you have the wall space and want everything visible plus a work table, yes. If you only need to corral a modest stash in a tight room, the Hartland covers that without taking over a wall.
Can I add doors to the Hartland?
Yes, doors are sold separately as an add-on. The DreamBox includes swing doors that fold in and a table that folds up.
Which lasts longer?
Owners describe the DreamBox as sturdy and well-built, and it carries a 12-month warranty. The Hartland has fixed shelves and no stated warranty, so the DreamBox is the safer long-term bet.
