[quote=Anonymous]I used one very recently. It was $1500 for her to come with two additional helpers for 7 hours to organize my kitchen. Here's the rub -- she's shilling for The Container Store on top of it and although she did a great job of organizing my kitchen, it is now full of almost countless container store "storage solutions" that are slightly helpful at best, an illogical problem taking up space at worst. Oh, and it's all kinds of plastic, which I really didn't want. She had told me she would bring things that would help me with organization, things to buy. But she didn't tell me she would shove literally everything she could into plasitc containers and charge me for all of them. Which I'm still confused about because when she was about to leave I asked her about how to pay her and she said "Well, you have already paid for the session" and then mumbled something about "doing an inventory and I'll give you $100 off if you write a Google review." So I did, just because I was freaked out about hundreds of dollars in Container Store costs on top of the $1500 I'd already paid. She has never given me "an inventory," or a bill or anything -- I bet she just charged my card. We'll see. I don't have the heart to go look. It's annoying, because it's all such nonsense -- for example, my two cutting boards are in a plastic container marked "cutting boards." All my baking supplies are in a lower cabinet in a big plastic bucket that I have to pull out of the cabinet and go through anytime I want to find flour or sugar or whatever. She labeled all of the plastic things -- probably so she can claim you can't return it. I don't know. She did a really great job organizing my stuff. But I'm irritated by the unnecessary plastic bins that are likely costing me hundreds. [/quote]
