Create Room DreamBox Center Review + Coupon Code!

Is the DreamBox too big for your space or your budget? Check out my DreamBox Center review! The Dreambox Center is the core of the DreamBox 3 with all the storage you need plus the ability to expand it later.

I’ve said in more than one post and video that I will probably never get a DreamBox because my craft studio is just not set up well for one. I have so many windows and doors that no matter where I put it, it would be in the way. In the photo above you can see I have a window and a closet to the right and to the left is the door to my studio. There’s not much walking space at the front of the desk either—I’ve actually moved furniture away so I could take these photos! Whether open or closed, the DreamBox 3 would just not fit in this space.

So up until now, I’ve used smaller Create Room storage solutions, like the DreamCart and the Cubbies (which have been unfortunately discontinued!).

But when Create Room reached out to me about reviewing their newest product, the DreamBox Center, I knew I could make some of my DreamBox dreams come true!

The DreamBox Center is basically the core of the new DreamBox 3 without the big storage doors. This is perfect for smaller or awkward spaces like mine that won’t allow for the larger storage doors. And it’s also a great option for people with a smaller budget.

Even better, you can start with the DreamBox Center and upgrade to the full DreamBox 3 later as your crafting business grows. It’s more affordable and adaptable!

I’ve turned my DreamBox Center into a shipping station for my Etsy shop Chapter & Craft. Before I was using a small desk next to my computer. There was not enough room to work and I was constantly struggling with connecting my computer to my thermal printer since they weren’t in the same space.

But now I have everything set up so nicely! I have all my packing supplies readily accessible, I have a lot of my larger stickers stored in the drawers, and I can easily get to my mug press since it’s the machine I use most often to make product that I sell. And I still have some empty drawers in the bottom for when my business continues to grow.

I can also add my DreamCart to this setup whenever I need extra workspace. This has been a lifesaver on days when I have larger orders.

I’ve been using this setup for about two weeks now and I can’t tell you how much better it is than my old setup! And because it’s separate from my main work area, it makes it easy for my husband to come and ship orders when I’m busy (which has happened a few times!). I love having all of my shipping supplies right in front of me—it makes packing orders a breeze.

DreamBox Center Set Up

My DreamBox Center came unassembled, but assembly really wasn’t bad at all. I did probably 80% of it myself with my husband helping when we needed to lift it up or add the heavier pieces. It only took me a long afternoon to set up the entire thing.

DreamBox Center Storage

If you don’t get any of the upgrades, your DreamBox Center will have:

16 medium drawers
5 small drawers
A large fold down table
Several shelves

To customize mine, I’ve only used one shelf between the top two sets of drawers (it comes with two shelves for that area) as well as a tension rod for my labeling stickers.

DreamBox Center Review

So overall I am thrilled to have a DreamBox in my craft room. It’s not the big one, but it offers a ton of storage and it’s working so well as a shipping station for me. Even though I’m not storing “normal” craft supplies in mine, I think you can be confident that it will also work for crafters as well.
