Don’t take our word for it...
Joe used Wm. O’Brien’s external storage for his furniture while his house was being renovated. This is what he had to say: “What we’ve really enjoyed is that it’s very secure. We have access all the time. We have access in the evening time.
Two things in particular have been very good. One is that we are able to offload directly from the van into the containers. There’s a lot of manoeuvring space around them and what I didn’t realise before I ever came is We could actually take some of the stuff out, put it outside, unpack our van, and then decide how best to pack it. So we’ve got our containers packed very efficiently. Everything is nice and dry. Everything is safe. We lock up and can come back whenever we want.
