If you’re sitting in your South Tulsa living room staring at a pile of boxes, a sectional sofa that’s not fitting in the new place, and three generations of dining room furniture, you’ve already figured out that most Woodland Hills homes have one problem: too many nice things and nowhere to put them all.

Before we talk about unit sizes, let’s talk about what’s actually sitting in your house right now.

If you live in one of those bigger South Tulsa homes near LaFortune Park, you probably have a two-car garage that’s already full of tools, bikes, lawn equipment, and seasonal holiday decorations. You’ve got a basement that’s hitting capacity. Maybe you’re moving, downsizing after kids left, or your home office took over the guest bedroom. Whatever the reason, you need to know exactly how much space those things require.

Here’s the honest part: most people underestimate by one size. They picture their bedroom furniture and think “10×10 should be fine,” then they add the office desk, the bookshelf unit, the file boxes from the garage, and suddenly they’re playing Tetris at midnight.

Let me walk you through each common size with real furniture, not corporate abstractions.

5×5 Storage Unit (25 square feet)

This is tight. It’s a closet with a door. Think of it like the space under a staircase, except you can stand up.

What fits: Small furniture only. A single dresser and a nightstand. 10–15 plastic storage totes. A few file boxes. Some seasonal decor. Your winter coats and holiday tree.

Real scenario: You’re in between places for a month and need to store your desk chair, some file boxes, and your college textbooks. This works.

What doesn’t fit: A dining table. A bed frame. A couch. A shelving unit. A motorcycle or scooter.

5×10 Storage Unit (50 square feet)

Still compact, but now you’ve got a narrow hallway of space — roughly the footprint of a small bedroom or a decent walk-in closet.

What fits: A queen-size bed frame, a dresser, a nightstand, file boxes stacked on one side, some plastic bins. A dining table without chairs. Small appliances. Boxes of books and kitchen items.

What doesn’t fit: A full sectional sofa. Multiple pieces of large furniture. A full bedroom suite plus anything else.

10×10 Storage Unit (100 square feet)

Now you’re talking about actual usable space. This is the workhorse size — usually the right call for one bedroom’s worth of furniture plus kitchen items and seasonal stuff.

What fits: A queen mattress and frame, dresser, nightstand, bookshelf, dining table with four chairs, a desk, 30–40 storage bins, file boxes, seasonal decorations, sports equipment, luggage.

Pro tip: With a 10×10, leave an aisle down the middle so you can actually access stuff without moving everything.

10×15 Storage Unit (150 square feet)

This is where the comfort zone lives — a decent-sized bedroom plus a hallway. Everything a 10×10 holds, plus a full sectional sofa, OR a second bedroom set, OR a riding lawnmower. You could fit an entire two-bedroom apartment’s worth of furniture if you pack it smart.

10×20 Storage Unit (200 square feet)

One-car garage territory. Multiple bedrooms’ worth of furniture, a full living room and dining room, washer and dryer, a motorcycle, garden equipment, a whole office setup.

10×25 Storage Unit (250 square feet)

A one-car garage plus a storage room. Everything you own from a 2,500 sq ft home, RV equipment, boat parts, multiple motorcycles, or months of small business inventory.

Going too small upfront.

Here’s what happens: You estimate you need a 10×10, you rent it, and two weeks in you realize your dining table doesn’t fit the way you planned it, your office boxes are stacking too high, and your seasonal storage takes up more room than expected.

Then you either spend the next three months playing storage Tetris, or you upgrade to a 10×15 — which costs more money and creates a hassle. The solution: pick slightly bigger than you think you need. That extra $20–30 per month is cheaper than the frustration.

Here’s the good news about Click Storage: you’re not locked in. If you rent a 10×10 and realize two weeks later you need more space, you can upgrade to a 10×15. If you overestimated and you’re only using half the unit, you can downsize and reduce your monthly cost.

The locations in South Tulsa and across Oklahoma make it easy to adjust. You’re not committed to one size for a long-term contract. You can change your mind and adapt.

Seasonal items only: 5×5 or 5×10

One bedroom’s furniture + kitchen items: 10×10

Two bedrooms + seasonal stuff: 10×15

Full house or major business inventory: 10×20 or 10×25

Motorcycle, boat, or RV: 10×15 minimum

Home renovation overflow: 10×15 or 10×20

Moving storage 6+ months: start with 10×15, go up if needed

Most people in South Tulsa and the surrounding areas end up choosing a 10×10 or 10×15. These sizes give you enough room to actually use the space without paying for excess square footage you’ll never need.

If you’re uncertain between two sizes, go bigger. The price difference is small, and the peace of mind is priceless.
