What Fits in a Medium Storage Unit

Medium units handle bulkier items. Here are common items that our tenants are storing in their units:

Furniture: sofas, beds, dressers, dining tables, and chairs.
Appliances: a refrigerator, washer, or dryer.
Boxes: kitchen, closet, and book boxes stacked on one side.
Outdoor items: patio sets, grills, bikes, and dock sections.
Business items: inventory, displays, and file boxes on shelves.

Any time you are storing a large object, make sure you double check the measurements. You do not just have to fit couches and mattresses into your unit; you also need to be able to move them through the storage unit door.

Why Prior Lake Renters Choose a Medium Unit

Renovators: If you are clearing one room, a storage unit can hold the furniture and keeps it away from drywall dust and paint.
