  • I have a tiny house, and a tiny kitchen. However, I want my tiny little house to be organized and efficient. This magnetic coffee filter holder is stuck onto my microwave and makes my mornings just a tad easier and my kitchen counter a tad less cluttered. I love the thoughtful design of Yamazaki Home items.

  • Really love Yamazaki, there are so many products they designed that no other brand has considered. It's really good for niche and specific needs for storage. Design is very clean and beautiful. I have the leaning corner coat hanger, gaming controller stand, pot lid holder, stove corner rack, cable box and toilet paper stocker. I'm happy with all the things I own. I think the price point is a bit high for its value, but the build quality of the products I have are very good. No complaints at all!

  • I’ve been eyeing Yamakazi for a long time but haven’t made a purchase yet. Their beautiful simple designs, many engineered for small spaces, is something I’ve admired. I finally found a purpose to purchase on of their products from The Container Store- a jewelry stand. I love it- it’s not just simple and eye-catching- they put these little touches to make it more effective. For example, a rubber mat on the bottom of the stand and grips on the bottom so it doesn’t slide easily. Yes their products are slightly more expensive but pretty well crafted.

  • I bought a simple metal storage tower from Yamazaki Home, and it’s made such a difference in my guest bathroom. It neatly hides all the unsightly essentials, extra toilet paper, cleaning supplies, random toiletries, and does it in a way that looks sleek and intentional. The design is minimal but super functional, and perfect for small spaces where every inch counts. Yamazaki really nails that blend of form and function.

  • Have a few home products from Yamazaki because they're apartment friendly and the minimal design is beautiful. Generally quite easy to put together. It's definitely not flimsy but also doesn't quite feel like a "permanent" piece for me since some of the shoe racks / towel ladder feels very light and doesn't anchor to a wall. I also do think it's very expensive for what it's worth. Seeing a lot of $100+ pieces that I would prefer to pay $70-80.

  • I purchased one of their containers to cover the wires and devices for under our tv stand. It was great and the perfect size!

  • I got the small umbrella stand from west elm. It’s great! Attractive, compact and holds a 5 umbrellas. Plus you can adjust if you want half small umbrellas or all tall ones.

  • I absolutely LOVE all of their product! I used it since I lived in Japan and the products are simple yet stylish that puts in the Japanese craftsmanship! I recently bought their first-aid box and it organized all my medicine box into one. I also use their ladle and pot lid holder everyday and it is stylish to have it on your kitchen counter. Also the tier-2 dish drainer is perfect if you have a medium sized house with utensils that cannot be washed with a dishwasher. (like wooden spoons and nicely painted dishes) I'm so happy to see that amazon is carrying more products of theirs that we can buy easily! Highly recommend it!

  • Really smart products for organization-- they blend in well, are super versatile, low profile, and generally make city living or apartment life a lot easier for a disorganized person like me.

    If you buy directly from Yamazaki, customer service isn't so great, and every so often I've tried to assemble a product that was missing a part or was very difficult to put together. Hit or miss in this regard!

  • Yamazaki Home makes sleek and modern pieces that solve storage and organizational issues with style. The price and look cannot be beat and the quality was much higher than I expected. The minimalist design seamlessly integrates into most decor. A much better deal than the typical stuff you can find at big box stores with a high-end look to it.

  • I love how clean, modern, minimalistic, and Scandinavian-inspired this brand is! Plus 1 for being built for small spaces.

    Feedback

    It feels a bit overpriced for the quality. Yes, the lines are clean and it is minimal, but some of the items come off as cheap and nowhere near the price it commands.

  • very beautiful functional pieces, but definitely on the pricey size. I love their rice container that automatically measures one cup.

  • Yamakazi is a wonderful research for anyone who loves organization. The pieces are simple and solve all my storage problems. I live in an apartment with very odd storage options in my kitchen and bathroom and Yamakazi items has changed how I can use these spaces. And, the products are relatively affordable for really great quality. The designs are simple, modern, and clean and look great in any home since they're so versatile.

    Feels like a bit too much packaging when I receive my shipment. Would appreciate more sustainable-minded packouts.

  • I love the minimalist, high quality items they have. I'd say take CAREFUL measurements of your space to make sure it's not too big or small. I purchased the bread box which I love, but it's much bigger than expected. I also have the rolling bathroom cart to hide a toilet brush and cleaning products. I love how it looks, but unfortunately the shelves aren't movable and it didn't fit most of my cleaning sprays. I still keep other stuff in there and it looks nice in the bathroom without taking up much space.

  • Good design, especially for small spaces. I've had their magnetic paper towel holder for like 2 years now.

  • I have a leaning coat rack and leaning ladder rack from Yamazaki home. Were they a little pricey? Yes. Hence the 4 starts. But they are great quality, super functional, and beautiful to look at. I wish I had a need for more things from Yamazaki home, even if I might have to budget a bit before buying certain things.

  • I used to find their products a bit hit-or-miss but recently have been really loving more and more of them. They're sturdy, easy to assemble products that help declutter small spaces, and they're actually affordably priced, which is hard to find with home goods. I love that most of them are metal and wood; it's a beautiful, simple look. I recently redid my pantry and am using a few of their storage carts, which have made a huge difference. I had a minor issue with one item recently and their customer service was incredibly kind about making it right, too.

    Feedback

    The only issues I've had with them are products that aren't quite the size I expected, based on their photos. I'd just double check that things are gonna work by measuring if you have any concerns about anything.

  • So far have only tested their Leaning Ladder Rack, but it's been such a game changer I'm eager to try more of their products. Well-packaged, clear assembly instructions, and very sturdy even with an absurd amount of blankets and bags hung on it.

  • Terrible customer service, and they don’t provide a customer service phone number on their site. It’s advertise that that’ll get back to their customers after 2-3 business days once you’ve submitted a customer service ticket online. It’s now been two weeks and I haven’t gotten a response after submitting multiple tickets. I’m still missing my item and I have no idea how to get through to the company.
