Moving a pool table is difficult because of its weight, size, and complex structure. Standard residential pool tables weigh between 600 and 1,000 pounds, with slate bed models being the heaviest. Most tables must be taken apart before moving, as trying to move them in one piece can cause damage to both the table and nearby property. Disassembly usually involves removing the rails, felt, and slate slabs, which need careful handling due to their fragility.

A clean organized facility. I have been using your company for more than six years, at different locations and am always pleased with the staff because they are always professional, friendly and helpful whatever your formula is in choosing staff--stick with it. Other organizations should try to learn the steps you take in hiring staff--I will never use anyone else because I prefer your's over any other.

Review
I moved into Uncle Bob's storage facility last Sunday. When I arrived at the facility with my movers (who I was paying $165/hour), the elevator code I was provided did not work and I was unable to access my storage unit on the second floor. I called the 1-800 number Uncle Bob's provided and the person I spoke with told me she would file a report and someone would get in touch with me ASAP. I explained that I had movers with me and needed access to the building that night. No one called me back, so I moved my items into an unoccupied storage unt on the first floor that was the identical size to the the 2nd floor storage unit. The next day, someone from Uncle Bob's called me to tell me I had to either pay $169/month for the 1st floor storage unit (rather than the $119/month I agreed to pay for the 2nd floor unit) or move my belongings to the second floor. I told them that they hadn't kept their end of the bargain and the two options were either (1) they pay for movers to move my items to the storage unit on the second floor or (2) I keep my items in the 1st floor storage unit and pay $119. They refused and threatened to evict me from the storage facility. So not only did I incur extra costs when my movers and I could not access the second floor where my assigned storage unit was located, but now they are forcing me to pay more than the agreed-upon $119/month for a storage unit. I therefore would never use this storage facility again and would not recommend it to a friend or relative.

We provide the convenience of reserving affordable storage units online or by phone. No credit card or long-term contract is required. Consider us as your solution for finding and reserving storage facilities throughout Illinois, including options for mini storage units and storage containers to suit a variety of needs.

The cheapest storage unit in your area may not always be the best choice. Please consider the following factors when selecting a storage unit in Chicago, Illinois.

  • Monthly rates are based on features such as 24/7 access, climate control, facility security, location, and overall demand in your area.

  • For household goods, the most common storage unit sizes are 5x5, 5x10, 10x10, and 10X15. For added flexibility, some companies also offer portable mini storage units for rent for temporary residential use that can be delivered to your property or hauled by you for on-site storage.

  • Many facilities offer larger unit sizes for commercial and business storage, like 10x20 or 10x30. These sizes are ideal for storing office equipment, inventory, or business records. These sizes can also accommodate vehicles, making them a great option for car storage.

  • Most storage facilities require insurance for stored items. If you don’t have your own policy, you may need to buy one through the facility, adding about $15 to $50 to your storage rental cost each month. Some places also charge a refundable deposit or an administrative fee when you move in. Always ask about these costs and refund conditions before signing a lease.

  • Storage facilities with flexible leases allow you to rent on a month-to-month basis. Be aware that storage unit price increases are common. Many customers say their rates go up after a few months, sometimes more than once a year. Since storage rentals are month-to-month, facilities can raise prices with proper notice. Ask about potential rate increases before committing to a unit.

  • The monthly rent will also depend on whether a facility offers climate-controlled units or only drive-up units. Climate-controlled units cost more than drive-up units or storage containers.

  • Most locations have digital keypad access, which provides you with your personal access code. Check with the office for availability.
  • Consider drive-up access for easier loading and unloading, especially for heavy or bulky items.

  • Some facilities may provide extra room or rental space for public use, such as areas for organizing or handling your stored items. Contact the property manager to confirm availability.

  • Check for online reviews and recommendations.

  • Ask the office about the preventive security measures for safeguarding the location.


Are there free storage deals in Chicago, Illinois?

Many companies offer promotions for new customers, such as a free first month. Search by your zip code or distance to locate cheap storage units that come with the first month free and other decent storage discounts. Take advantage of specials if you're a first-time renter.


How do I find the cheapest storage in Chicago?

You can sort by price, from low to high, to find affordable options on our website. Away from the city center, you have a better chance of finding inexpensive storage rental solutions. The facility's size and amenities affect the monthly price.


What is the difference between an indoor and outdoor unit?

You have easy access to your unit when it is an outdoor unit. If the unit is indoors, you must first enter the building to get to it.


What is the difference between office hours and gate hours?

The property's operating hours are during office hours. The store manager will be on duty to help you with your questions. If you have questions or need help outside these hours, look up the property's phone number to contact the leasing office directly. The gate hours determine when you can enter the property and use your unit.

With years of storage industry experience, we’ve refined our services to meet your needs. Our Chicago storage facilities offer secure spaces for your valuables, giving you peace of mind. We prioritize customer service so you can feel confident choosing us. Booking is hassle-free with no credit card required.
