If only I could afford something so nice! It's breathtaking! My things are loving stored in labeled cardboard boxes. But a girl can dream! Happy for you Jennifer 🎉

[@JenniferMaker]

Nothing wrong at all with storing your supplies that way! If it works for you that is great!🥰

[@sandramoncayo1106]

I am even more excited than before! My husband bought me my DreamBox for Mother’s Day and I upgraded to the DreamBox 2. It will be here next week and your video is exactly what I needed! Thank you!!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

That is awesome!

[@katherinetsuji1384]

Where get 0ne and how much

[@dianethiel6279]

I really like that you mentioned that you purchased the Dreambox 2 to give an honest review. I just received my Dreambox about a month ago and didn’t know a new version was coming out. I probably would have waited had I known. On the other hand, I am grateful. There are a lot of people that really want one and can’t afford one. I do like the bigger table on the one I have but like the versatility in the organization in the new one. Thank you for your review.

[@PrettyLittlePackages]

I have the DB1 and I love my bigger adjustable height table. I hate that the new one loses that. I already store my mats in the notions tote section so that doesn’t count as an upgrade imo. The only thing I really want from the DB2 are those stronger hinges.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@joancook8454]

@PrettyLittle, maybe your can order the hinges and modify the table 😊

[@PrettyLittlePackages]

@@joancook8454 I’m definitely going to see if the hinges work on db1. I love my dreambox but stronger hinges would be great.

[@summerhill2427]

I wish I could afford to get this for my grandmas 70th Birthday. She would love one of these for her craft items. She makes cards so beautiful.

Awesome assembly tips, Jennifer. They will come in handy one of these days 😊

Thanks so much!

[@wendyleebarrett5652]

I love how are you are always so thorough and upbeat with these videos. I am hoping one day to have a DreamBox and look forward to watching the next videos!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you for the kind words, Wendy!

[@TheAnthrochild87]

I just recently found your channel and I love it. You are so knowledgeable and I appreciate the small details you give (like the stuck together pieces). I've been looking at getting several new craft items - and I know I can come to your channel for information and ideas.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much!

[@user-xc3cd5dd1d]

Thank you so much Jennifer! I loved watching how it was put together and all your tips! I've been looking at this dreambox for years, but haven't been able to afford it. I think now I'll be saving for one!

Hi Jennifer😊❤️. Your video is sooo helpful in assembly and what set up to get. I have the DreamBox 2 in my cart right now and the means to purchase. All I need now is the courage to spend this much money on myself without the guilt. 😬. Thank you so much for your honest review!

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm happy to hear you found this video helpful! As for needing courage to order, I 100% get it. I'm a very slow shopper and I take FOREVER to decide. I'm the last minute purchaser you've heard about. LOL But you know, you can spend this money on yourself without any guilt. You deserve this. Really.

[@Wulfgeist]

Thanks, Jennifer! I never thought I needed one of these but I've recently kicked my cricut and papercrafting overflow out of the snake room and into the living room with my computer and office type stuff. I'd really love to have one of these now to hide everything away when not in use. Thanks for the wonderful video!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it was helpful! 😊🌻

[@Cee_Cee8]

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much!!

My Dreambox is already up. My husband but it up. It was interesting watching your video. I found it very good and educational.

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it was helpful! Congratulations on getting a Dreambox!

[@patticarnevale2360]

Great review. I really appreciate the fact that you spend your own money for items rather than being gifted them by the manufacturer. I have the DreamBox I, so I will not be upgrading, but I like some of these new features, #1 being the table design. Dealing with the legs on mine is a pain sometimes!

[@JenniferMaker]

The new table is my favorite!

[@africats2]

[@jenniferdennison1532]

I would like to know how stampers, metal die and embossing folder users organize their Dreambox please. Great video! Now I am interested.

[@JenniferMaker]

Create Room actually makes a magnetic board that goes on the otherside of the swing doors that you can put your metal dies on -- it's very popular. There are lots of people with those craft supplies that love the DreamBox. :)

[@secondaccount1688]

Still looking for that video of tips and tricks to organize and personalize the dreambox that you mentioned!

Thank You so much Jennifer!I I purchased my new DreamBox 2 because of you! It was delivered yesterday! I can't wait for it to be put all together! We are waiting for some help from our friend! Your video was exceptionally helpful! I do have one question how does the double lights work on the crown? Does it have a switch or do you plug it in to the surger?

Thanks Jennifer. Became interested in the DreamBox after seeing an add for a clearance sale on FB but after watching your video I realised they were clearing out old stock with the table with the legs etc. at clearance price... Think I'll save up for the Dreambox 2

So exciting! 💗

Looks like it ships LTL (less than truckload) and you need to be on a truck friendly road to receive such a product.

[@heatherwhite1341]

I think one of your comments said you got the side tables. Can you do a demo and review on them?

[@JenniferMaker]

that's a good idea! 🥰

"Wow! Greg's hair is nicer than mine." said the old lady with gray hair. LOL'

[@melsmedia]

Hi Jennifer! Which set of the bins did you purchase the short or long?

[@JenniferMaker]

I have all the sizes.

[@toniwalker362]

Hi Jennifer, can you let me know what the dimensions are open and closed please and do they ship to the uk. Much appreciated, I will have to save up a bit more as I’m half way there lol but in a room in shared place , but I like the idea of the table as I could fit my wheelchair under it .Xx

[@JenniferMaker]

Dimensions open are 9'2" wide by 5'11 tall" Dimensions closed are 3'4" wide by 2'11" deep by 5'11" tall. The US site with the DreamBox 2 does not ship to the UK, but there is a UK division at uk.createroom.com. They don't have the DreamBox 2 yet however. Keep an eye on their site and/or my emails for news. :)

[@raeofsunshine1514]

I just bought mine, it was delivered yesterday! We are moving to a new house so we are going to wait to set it up, but oh my goodness this makes me want to rip it open and put it together right now!! I'm so excited! I've been dreaming for one for a few years now!! Finally saved up to buy it! Cannot wait! Wonderful video Jennifer!!

[@JenniferMaker]

That is awesome! Enjoy it!

Can you purchase the metal shelf tabs and the tracks to replace the ones in your old dream box

[@JenniferMaker]

I don't know. You can contact then. www.createroom.com/pages/contact-us

Awesome video. Quick question though: What size iMac did you show at the 16:47 mark? Is it the 21 or 27"?

[@JenniferMaker]

The long divider confirmation is 14.7" x 36.7" and short is 22.8"x36.7" www.createroom.com/products/dreambox-2

Hi jennifer I wanted to know what kind of paint that you use on the wall.

[@JenniferMaker]

It's Benjamin Moore #653 Seagrove 🥰

[@user-dc8ut7cd9s]

Just got my DreamBox 2. But have a question - where did you end up putting the light switches for the overhead crown? I would have liked to have seen an insert on the back panel dedicated for them to pop into!

[@JenniferMaker]

The lights are controlled by a remote that sits on the desk.

[@gayleumbach1478]

Question: Do you know if the Kallax inserts fit in here? Not sure how deep the center and the next sections are?

[@JenniferMaker]

I only have the Create Room drawers that are specifically made for the dream box. You can see the dimensions on their site through this link. jennifermaker.com/dreambox-discount

[@dorapatrick8797]

Hi there! Wow, you really know all about the DreamBox 2. I have an office that I use for my jewelry business. It's Direct Sales. I don't make it. I also use my office for my crafting which is planning and journaling and all things associated with that such as stickers, wash tape, pens, etc. I have about 30 leather planners that I really do not know where to keep them and journal book dating back to about 5 years. I also have a sewing machine which I hope to use some day. My wall is over nine feet but it would cover a window. At an angle, seven feet may work. I still do not know if this DreamBox 2 is right for me. What more can I do to determine if I should get one? I currently have a desk for my business and a crafting table in my office.

[@JenniferMaker]

It can be hard to visualize. You can see exact measurements on their website. makeracademy.com/dreambox-discount/

[@spherehunter78]

I had a quick question about the lighting. Where are you putting the switches. Are you leaving it on the top of the box?

[@JenniferMaker]

I actually have these lights on a remote. 😊🌻

[@annettev5136]

I thought I saw on the original model the table was able to be placed at different heights, depending if you were sitting or standing. Does the new one offer that as well?

[@JenniferMaker]

It only folds out.

[@PrettyLittlePackages]

Is the divider under the table easily removable or is it in there with cam locks?

[@JenniferMaker]

The vertical one is locking.

How many totes does it hold? Not sure if I need the deluxe upgrade or not?

when you work on a project on the desk does the light from above block your work?

[@JenniferMaker]

No, not at all. It's very helpful🥰

[@clubdechick]

do they tell you a name or type of hinges they gave you for the doors ?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can contact Create Room and ask. I don't know, sorry. www.createroom.com

[@laneyno8]

Phew!I finally got one Jennifer. I ordered the totes with the long dividers. Not sure if that’s what I needed, but what I ordered. Could you tell me the difference?

[@JenniferMaker]

Awesome!!! The long dividers will give you the most tote storage. The short divider is what you'd want if you want to put a computer with a large monitor in. If you change your mind about which divider to get, you can contact Create Room and have them modify your order.

[@laneyno8]

Is it an option to add the longer table?

Hello Jennifer!😊 I was curious about ordering the dreambox 2. Did you just order the dreambox 2, or did you order it plus add ons, and if you did? What were the add ons? I went to the site, and I'm a little overwhelmed with ordering.

Hi Jennifer, I have a ScrapBox with th cloth drawers and peg system. Do you know if the pegs can be replaced with the track bar? thx
