Bed risers may seem like an odd dorm room essential. However, the bed risers will come in handy for increasing under the bed storage. By adding bed risers to your dorm room bed you should be able to double the under bed storage space. Once the risers are added most beds will then have enough space to stack under the bed containers two high instead of one high.

The tote features many small compartments for razor, soap, toothbrush and more and large compartments for bottles and washcloth.
