Frequently Asked Questions about the Createroom Dreambox Answered

A Dreambox is a storage system made by Createroom. Sometimes it’s called a Createroom Dreambox or a Workbox which was it’s original name. A Dreambox is most often used as a craft storage unit but it can be used for many other things too. It saves room and keeps your supplies organized and has modular shelves, which are adjustable to accommodate any size of supply or collectible item. It’s also a workspace and a decorate piece of furniture! Read on to learn a lot more.

A craft room can quickly become cluttered and disorganized. The Createroom Dreambox is a storage unit that helps you organize your craft supplies so they are easy to find and use. With the Createroom Dreambox, you’ll never have to worry about digging through piles of boxes or searching for hours for the perfect color paint again!

This storage system has been designed by crafters, for crafters, with all of our needs in mind. It’s sturdy enough to hold up under heavy crafting materials like tons of cardstock, clay and fabric but also has plenty of space for smaller items like beads and buttons.

It comes in an array of colors and styles so you can customize it to fit your personality.

It’s also extremely modular! You can move totes and shelves around, decorate it, and add on tons of accessories to create the perfect storage system for your needs.

The best part though might be that the Dreambox closes back up to take up a really small footprint! This means that you can easily close it up and hide your supplies when you need to. For example, we use our guest room as a craft room when we don’t have guests over. It’s usually open and used daily but when we have company, we can close it and push it into a corner so that our guests have lots of space in the room!

Since the Dreambox is a large item, it gets delivered by freight (usually Old Dominion). Once your Dreambox is close, you will get a call from the freight company to arrange a date and time for delivery. You will need to be home when it gets there to sign for it. The truck driver will not be able to put the box in your home so be ready with help on hand to move it once it arrives. It’s heavy!

If you purchase the Dreambox prebuilt, most of the work will be done for you. When you open the box (which may require a drill, screw driver and/or crowbar) you will see three main pieces. The two swing doors and the center piece. Note that the table is usually folded in the upright position and it may swing out when you first take the piece out of the box. I recommend immediately folding it into the down position when you get it out of the box. This is safer and more secure. You will then need to move all three pieces to your desired location and connect them.

Also, your totes will likely be stored in one of the swing doors – so you can remove them to lessen the weight if needed!

If you order the Dreambox unassembled, your wooden box will be much smaller and your pieces will be flat packed. Make sure you don’t lose any pieces!

If you purchase the Dreambox prebuilt, the crate size will be 74.5″x42″x47″.
If you purchase the DIY Build Dreambox, the crate will be 74.5″x42″x26.75″.

I have seem people fit a Dreambox into some really tiny spaces! Did you know that you can angle the Dreambox in a corner? You don’t have to open it on one single wall!

When open completely, the Dreambox is 9′ wide, 6′ high and 34″ deep. When it’s closed, it’s 37″ wide by 34″ deep.

Here’s a thumbnail of a very detailed diagram on Createroom’s website that will have every dimension you could need! To get the full PDF, just click here.

The Dreambox costs $2399 for the base model which is amazing just as it is! If you want to get any upgrades, like additional drawers, pre-built, different colors etc, the price will go up a bit.

Luckily, Createroom does offer financing, a 24 month warranty and a 100% money back guarantee!

Absolutely! There’s no doubt that the Dreambox is an investment and Createroom has some great financing options. This includes 0% APR if you qualify!

That’s a very personal question and will be different for everyone. A lot of the benefits of a Dreambox can’t be defined by numbers or a dollar value – so how much they are worth to you will depend on how valuable the benefit is to you. For example, based on my experience, the key benefits of a Dreambox are that it
(1) helps me organize all my supplies in one easy to access place (which reduces clutter, keeps me from buying more of something I already have, and always keeps things within reach when inspiration strikes)
(2) keeps all my supplies within view which helps inspire me and my kids to create
(3) it’s a workspace for my 3 kids and I to bond and spend time together while we do the things we love, do homework, or just pay bills
(4) It’s a beautiful piece of furniture and looks great in our guest room when closed
(5) It holds a TON but still closes up into something that takes only a small footprint which means that you could even put it in a guest room like I did and close it up when guest come over!

There are many other benefits of course but those were the key ones for me and helped drive my decision to get one!

A great way to determine if a Dreambox is a fit for you and if it will be worth the cost is to go through the Createroom Journey! Try it out and see if it’s a good fit for you!

Each side of the DreamBox weighs 140lbs and the center of the box weighs 250lbs. That’s empty! But don’t worry – it sits on caster wheels so it’s really easy to move even once full of all your supplies! Mine sits on very thick carpet which isn’t ideal and even I can move mine!

This all just depends on the speed of the person assembling it and how it was purchased.

If you purchased your Dreambox, there is still some assembly to do. You’ll need to connect the three pieces, decide where you want to put your shelves and totes, and then put those pieces in place. The new tote racks make this much easier than it used to be but it still takes a bit of time. Expect to spend between 1 and 3 hours putting your pre-build Dreambox together.

If you buy the DIY build dreambox, it’s going to take you quiet a bit longer but it will also cost less. Additionally, you’ll have an easier time getting the individual pieces into your desired room yourself – moving the pre-build pieces is definitely a two person job.

For the DIY-build Dreambox, expect to spend 6-8 hours from start to finish for the entire assembly.
And while that sounds like a lot of time, just know that it’s not overly difficult to do. The directions are easy to follow so that makes it simple.

You sure can! When you order the Dreambox you will want to pick the “prebuilt” assembly. Just know that this is “almost 100% built”. Your Dreambox will arrive in three parts. The center piece and the 2 swing doors. You will then need to connect the three pieces and then add your modular shelves.

If I had to pick just 3 Dreambox accessories, I’d have to say the cutting mat, side tables and crown/light.

It’s hard to pick just a few because they all look and sound amazing and I’d love to have them all but I had to limit myself!

I love the cutting mat because it’s a great protective layer. I use the Dreambox with my kids a lot and I love knowing that the mat will help protect the Dreambox so that it will be in amazing shape for many many years to come!

The side tables are great because they provide a ton of additional workspace! I got two side tables which lets me and my 3 kids comfortably do homework, craft, and work at the Dreambox together at the same time! Additionally, when I have guests over, I often ask them if they’d like to keep the box open and the tables connected to give them a workspace too! Sometimes they prefer to close the box and have extra floorspace but my Dad often works a the Dreambox when he visits and likes it open!

Last but not least, I think that the crown looks beautiful on the Dreambox. It’s a piece of furniture afer all and part of our home decor so I love that extra touch! It also includes a built in light which is really great when crafting and drawing! It’s just the right amount of light!

Yes! A Dreambox is SO modular and customizable! So much more than I ever realized before I had my own. For starters, you can choose between a few models, to get it with or without a crown and light, with or without fixed drawers etc.

You can also add things like the tool cubby which is great for pens, the paper organizer which is great for anyone like me who has way too much cardstock, side tables, and so much more!

Then of course you can decorate it! I changed up how I decorated my totes multiple times (bascially changed it by the season!) and also decorated the inside of the Dreambox to give it a more custom look! I share how I decorate my Dreambox in this post.

It does! You’ll have the option to order your DreamBox in the colors of:
Farmhouse Gray
White Ergo
Modern White Shaker
This way you can have it flow easily with the rest of your home decor!

Note that your Dreambox will always be white on the inside even if it’s gray on the ouside. So, if you don’t plan on closing your Dreambox often and are looking to save a few extra dollars, you should stick with the White Ergo.

Your Dreambox will automatically come with 40 totes to start with. For many people this is enough but a lot of people order the 80 tote option. According to the Createroom messenger bot, 71% of customer purchase the 80 tote option.

I personally have the 80 totes and I LOVE them! I do have a few extra which I use around the house because the totes are such great quality!

Yes! In fact, I’ve seen many people put more than one Cricut machine in it! I like to put mine in the little alcove so it’s always easily accessible but I could easily fit two if I added a little riser shelf!

If you’re an avid sewer, Createroom also makes a Sew Station which is AMAZING for holding sewing machines! That said, it doesn’t have nearly as much storage capacity so if storage is what you’re after, then the Dreambox is still going to be your best bet! Luckily, the Dreambox can hold many sewing machines in the alcove! Just measure your machine and make sure that it’s smaller than 14″H x 12.75″D x34.75″W.

Yes! I actually didn’t know this until I got my own Dreambox but the table can alternate between sitting and standing height! The feet of the table are also adjustable to help with minor adjustments for your particular flooring! I absolutely love this because there are many times when I’m just more comfortable working while standing up and moving around and it’s so easy to switch between the two heights!

Yes! It’s on wheels so even though it gets very heavy (especially when full), it does slide around fairly easily! If you’re on carpeting it will be harder to move but still doable. Moving it between floors though, is another story! It’s definitely a multiple person job.

Yes! I have heard of many people who have moved homes and taken their Dreambox with them. I would definitely enlist the help of a moving company though and work with them to see the best way to do it. It seems that many moving companies can transport it without removing the contents but that may be company specific.

This can depend on the model you pick as well as the time of year. For example, if you purchase a Dreambox during their Black Friday sale, chances are you will have to wait a little extra longer. As of the time I’m writing this, a white Dreambox will ship in 3-8 weeks and a gray one will ship in 8-12 weeks.
