Confessions Of An Amazon Addict: Cabinet Tour Edition

  • Feb 13
  • 4 min read

Here’s something I never thought I’d say: my kitchen storage is in my laundry closet. Welcome to apartment life.

So here’s the deal… I bought this cabinet after moving into an apartment with basically zero kitchen storage. I needed somewhere to put all my kitchen stuff, and somehow the laundry closet became the solution. Yes… my “extra kitchen cabinets” are literally in my laundry closet, which is honestly funny all by itself. But it works. Over the years I’ve filled these shelves with all my Amazon kitchen finds, baking essentials, and random things I actually use all the time. Like 90% of what’s in here has a purpose (and I stand by it). The only things collecting dust are the cookbooks… because Pinterest replaced those years ago. And the only true bad decision? That mini waffle maker I used exactly once. Anyway, if you saw something in my cabinet tour and want the links, don’t worry — I linked it all. Yes, even the shelf unit.

Here’s the full cabinet breakdown… yes, I linked it all.


The Real Star of the Show:



Giantex 5-Tier Kitchen Storage Cabinet

This is hands down the best storage solution for a small apartment kitchen — and yes, it’s on wheels!

Kayla and I put it together in about an hour (probably would’ve been faster if we didn’t immediately put the very first screw in the wrong hole and spend a solid 20 minutes trying to get it back out).

It holds SO much and gave me the extra “cabinet space” I desperately needed. It does roll, which is awesome… but I’ll be honest, once it’s loaded up with heavy kitchen stuff, I’m not really moving it around. It’s not the sturdiest thing ever if you plan on rolling it daily. But honestly? For the price point, it’s so worth it. It’s a total game-changer and, I’m obsessed!

Bottom line: this cabinet has been a total lifesaver for apartment living. It holds way more than I expected, keeps everything in one place, and makes me feel slightly more organized than I actually am. If you need extra kitchen storage and you’re running out of cabinet space, I 100% recommend it. And yes… I would buy it again (but maybe with a little less confidence on that first screw).


Happy Shopping!
