What fits in a student storage unit
Most students need between 25 and 50 sq ft for a single room's worth of belongings. Suitcases, bags, boxes, bedding, books, and kitchen items. Students clearing out shared student houses or storing furniture between moves usually need something larger.
Boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and mattress covers are available from the HOLD Box Shop, with click and collect from HOLD storage facilities.
