What fits in a small storage unit?
A small unit is the right call when you have more than a hall closet's worth of stuff but less than a full bedroom. Here's what our most popular small size — the 5×10 — comfortably holds:
10–15 medium boxes
Stacked along the back wall
Twin or full mattress
Plus a small dresser
2 bikes & sports gear
Skis, kayaks, golf clubs
Seasonal & holiday décor
Tree, lights, patio cushions
Business records

Storing more than a single bedroom's worth? Step up to our 10×10 (one-bedroom apartment) or 10×15 (two-bedroom).

Why renters in Kennewick & Richland pick a small unit
Home staging & spare-room clear-outs
Listing your home? Stage faster by getting the extra furniture, closet overflow, and family photos out of the way. A 5×10 holds the contents of a typical spare bedroom and clears it in a single afternoon trip — we'll lend you the free move-in truck.
Small business records & inventory
Climate-controlled small units are popular with Tri-Cities accountants, attorneys, and small trades for tax records, contracts, and seasonal inventory. Stable temperature and humidity protect paper and electronics through Columbia Basin extremes.
Seasonal gear & sports equipment
Bikes, skis, kayaks, golf clubs, holiday décor — the things you only need half the year. A drive-up 5×10 lets you pull up to the roll-up door and grab gear in two minutes flat on your way to the river or up to White Pass.
Between leases or WSU Tri-Cities summer storage
Moving between apartments or heading home for the summer? A 5×5 or 5×10 holds a dorm or studio's worth of essentials, month-to-month, so you're not paying a full year's rent for a few months of need.
Small vs. medium: when to size up
Small units (5×5 and 5×10) handle closet-to-spare-room volumes. If you're storing a full one-bedroom apartment or more, a 10×10 medium unit will save you Tetris-stacking at the door.
Common questions about small storage units
- What counts as a small storage unit?
- In the self-storage industry, "small" generally means units between 25 and 75 square feet — typically 5×5 and 5×10 sizes. At Storage Station we offer both: a 5×5 (25 sq ft) climate-controlled unit for closet-sized loads, and a 5×10 (50 sq ft) in either climate-controlled or drive-up for spare-bedroom volumes. Both fit comfortably in the "small" bucket and are sized for renters who need less than a closet to less than a single-bedroom's worth of belongings.
- What fits in a small storage unit?
- A 5×10 holds about what fits in a large walk-in closet — 10–15 medium boxes, a twin or full mattress with a small dresser, two bikes plus sports gear, seasonal décor, business records, or off-season wardrobe overflow. A 5×5 holds about half that — 10–12 medium boxes plus a small piece of furniture, perfect for documents, holiday decorations, a small dresser, or college-summer storage between leases.
- How much do small storage units cost in the Tri-Cities?
- Our 5×10 drive-up units start at $79/mo and climate-controlled 5×10s start around $99/mo at our Kennewick / Richland facility off I-82. The 5×5 climate-controlled is our most affordable size — call (509) 827-1927 for current pricing. New tenants can take 50% off the first three months when the spring promo is running.
- Should I pick climate-controlled or drive-up for a small storage unit?
- Climate-controlled is the right call for documents, photos, electronics, instruments, leather, or wood furniture you want to protect through Columbia Basin summer heat and winter cold. Drive-up is faster for seasonal gear, tools, sports equipment, or anything you'll access frequently — you pull right up to the roll-up door. The 5×10 is available in both; the 5×5 is climate-controlled only.
- Is a small storage unit big enough for moving between apartments?
- For a studio or partial-bedroom move, yes — a 5×10 handles a mattress, a few boxes, and seasonal items. For a full one-bedroom apartment, you'll want to step up to a 10×10 (about the size of a standard bedroom). We'll happily walk through your inventory on the phone if you're not sure which size you need.
- Are small storage units available month-to-month?
- Yes. Every Storage Station unit, including both small sizes (5×5 and 5×10), rents month-to-month with no long-term commitment. You can move out any time after your first 30 days. Most renters who use small units keep them for 2–6 months while staging a home, between leases, or storing seasonal gear.
- Do you offer 5×5 storage units?
- Yes — our 5×5 (25 sq ft) climate-controlled units are available now at our Kennewick / Richland facility. A 5×5 drive-up version is planned but not yet open. Reserve the climate-controlled 5×5 online or call (509) 827-1927 to be notified when drive-up opens.
