I once recieved a call from an individual interested in storage space but did not have alot of money to spend. She initially thought she would need a 5x15 foot space to store the furnishings of her studio apartment, however the space was just out of her monthly price range. After speaking with her for a moment or two I learned her desk and a couple of her tables are easily broken down to be stored, her chairs are easily stacked on eachother and she would also be okay with proping the sofa and mattress on end to utilize the eight foot ceilings in the space. With all of this information and the fact that she did not plan on storing many boxes or other odds and ends I was just barely able to recommend a 5x10 foot space for her to store in, and it fit into her price range.
