For years, the trunk of my car was a disaster zone. As someone who isn’t naturally organized, it became a dumping ground for everything I didn’t want inside the car itself. This quickly devolved into a chaotic mess of loose items rolling around, making noise, and generally being impossible to find when needed. Emergency supplies, first-aid kits, even essential gear for Colorado weather – all vanished into the black hole of my trunk. It wasn’t until a particularly irritating encounter with mosquitos, after failing to locate my bug spray before a hike, that I knew I had to take action and find a solution to my trunk troubles. After extensive online research and reading countless reviews, I discovered the Femuar Trunk Organizer, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed. This structured, accordion-style organizer boasts multiple compartments, numerous pockets, and ample space to accommodate everything I already had in my trunk, with room to spare.
Cleaning out my trunk before installing the Femuar Trunk Organizer was definitely the least enjoyable part – confronting the extent of my own disorganization was eye-opening! However, setting up the organizer itself was incredibly simple. It’s collapsible and comes with handles, making it easy to unfold and place in the trunk. Rigid plastic inserts are pushed down to give the bins structure, and just like that, it’s ready to use.
Fully extended, this two-compartment organizer is quite spacious, measuring 22½ inches in length with a 72-liter capacity. For smaller trunks or lighter storage needs, one compartment can be folded and secured with toggle buttons, offering flexibility.
I was genuinely surprised by how much I could actually store within these compartments. In one section, I neatly arranged a folded blanket, my REI Co-op 650 Down Jacket 2.0, a couple of sweaters, a raincoat, hats, and gloves. The other bin became home to my automotive emergency kit, including items like windshield-wiper fluid, engine oil, funnels, snow chains, and an air compressor. I also managed to fit in a first-aid kit, a headlamp, shower wipes, and some snacks – all neatly organized and accessible.
Modular Design and Flexible Storage Solutions
One of the standout features of this Car Trunk Organizer is its detachable divider. This allows you to customize the compartments further, splitting one bin into two smaller sections. Velcro strips run along the length of the bin, so the divider can be positioned anywhere to suit your specific storage requirements. I found this particularly useful for separating car maintenance essentials from first-aid supplies, creating even more organization within the organizer.
Adding to its organizational prowess, the Femuar Trunk Organizer features a plethora of pockets around its perimeter. Eight mesh pockets provide flexible storage for smaller items that tend to get lost at the bottom of bins, such as tire-pressure gauges, tubes of sunscreen, and even larger items like umbrellas and reusable water bottles. For heavier or more robust items, three sturdier pockets on the sides offer secure storage. I utilized one of these for a pair of spiky ice cleats, which would have easily torn through mesh pockets.
Despite its generous size, the Femuar Trunk Organizer surprisingly created a sense of spaciousness in my trunk. It effectively contained the visual chaos and actually freed up usable space. I can still easily fit grocery bags, larger packages, and even a full-size suitcase alongside it. And when extra trunk space is needed, the reinforced handles make it easy to lift out and move. Anti-slip Velcro strips on the bottom ensure it stays put while driving, preventing items from sliding around.
The sturdy handles and large capacity also make this organizer incredibly practical for transporting groceries, especially after a big shopping trip. It prevents bags from tipping over and groceries from rolling around in the trunk on the way home. And when not needed for hauling items, the organizer conveniently folds into a slim square for compact storage.
Minor Drawbacks but Overall a Top Car Trunk Organizer
Constructed from heavy-duty waterproof material, the Femuar Trunk Organizer feels surprisingly durable for its price point. However, the collapsible walls are not entirely rigid. If overstuffed, they can bulge outwards, and heavy items in the mesh pockets can cause them to crease. Once bent out of shape, the walls may not fully regain their original structure. While this might bother some perfectionists, for me, the slight morphing of the walls is a small price to pay for the increased storage capacity and overall organization it provides. As someone who tends to overpack, the ability to neatly fit even more items is a definite plus.
In conclusion, if you’re struggling with trunk clutter and searching for an effective solution, the Femuar Car Trunk Organizer is an excellent choice. Its ample storage space, modular design, and durable construction make it a top pick for keeping your vehicle trunk tidy, organized, and functional. Say goodbye to trunk chaos and hello to stress-free organization with this essential car accessory.
