What People Actually Keep in Their Storage Unit
The Top 5 Items We See at Personal Mini Storage
If you’ve ever wondered what people actually keep in their storage units, you’re not alone. At Personal Mini Storage, we see all kinds of belongings come and go — from everyday essentials to once-in-a-lifetime keepsakes.
Storage isn’t just about “extra space.” It’s about easy access, peace of mind, and a customer-centric business philosophy that puts your needs first. As a family owned and operated company proudly serving mid-Florida, our best-in-class managers are here to make every step of the process simple and stress-free.
With ground floor, first floor access, and drive-up units, there’s no need for elevators — meaning you’ll save time, save money, and make things easy on your movers. We even offer one-stop shopping with U-Haul truck rentals and moving supplies, making your entire moving or storage experience seamless from start to finish.
Here are the top five items people trust us to store:
1. Furniture
Couches, tables, bed frames, and dining sets are some of the most common things we see in storage. Whether you’re moving, downsizing, or saving furniture for your kids, a storage unit is the perfect solution for bulky pieces you don’t want to part with.
With our ground floor units and easy drive-up access, storing heavy furniture is a breeze — no elevators required.

2. Seasonal Décor
From Christmas trees and twinkling lights to Halloween props and summer patio furniture, seasonal décor can overwhelm closets and garages. A storage unit keeps it all safe, organized, and ready to bring back out when the season arrives.
Choose from AC and non-AC units to keep your décor in top shape all year long.
Free up space at home by moving your seasonal décor into storage — you’ll thank yourself next holiday season!
3. Appliances & Electronics
Refrigerators, microwaves, washing machines, TVs, and even gaming systems often make their way into storage. Climate-controlled (AC) units are especially popular for these items since they protect against Florida’s heat, humidity, and dust.
Looking to store electronics securely? Ask our best-in-class managers about AC options at your nearest Personal Mini Storage.
4. Collectibles
We often see people store their most cherished collectibles — antiques, sports memorabilia, family heirlooms, or hobby collections. A storage unit gives these items the security they deserve without cluttering your home.
Whether it’s first floor access or drive-up convenience, you can easily get to your treasures whenever you need them.
Give your collectibles the room and secure space they deserve — find a unit that’s just the right size today.
5. Books
For bookworms, space always runs out faster than the love of reading. Storage units are a great way to keep a growing collection safe, especially when shelves at home are overflowing. With the right packing, books stay in excellent condition until you’re ready to reread them.
Don’t box up your books in the garage — keep them protected in a cool, dry, AC storage unit instead.
