This workaround is what my roommates and I use to put our xbox controllers into when we are done using them. We had an issue losing them within the room so we got this bucket to make sure that we can keep better track of them.
This we use as a way to keep the room dark in the mornings because our blinds don’t keep out the sunlight. We had an extra blanket lying around so decided it would be best used this way. 
For this workaround I use the foam roller on the floor to stand on to reach the top level of my shelves. I had issues reaching the high up levels so it has been beneficial to reach the hard to get clothes near the top.
