CHOMEX SkyLuxe
CHOMEX's largest and most ambitious product: a two-story wing-fold expandable home stacking a 40 ft lower module and a 20 ft upper module to deliver approximately 1,250 sq ft across two levels plus a rooftop terrace. At $120,000 with free continental US delivery (listed at 20% off a $150,000 regular price), it is the highest-priced unit in the CHOMEX lineup. Sold out as of November 2026 — check containerhomex.com for restocking. The two-story configuration introduces complexity — site engineering, crane work, and permitting — that a single-story wing-fold unit does not. No US residential certification is held.

What's good
- ~1,250 sq ft across two levels plus a rooftop terrace — the largest expandable footprint in the FHS catalog
- Published price ($120,000) includes free continental US delivery — rare transparency for this size of expandable home
- 5 bedrooms across two floors (3 on ground level, 2 on upper level) with 2 full bathrooms — genuine family-scale layout
- BBB A-rated seller (CHOMEX Corp., BBB-accredited since October 2024); Affirm financing available; 3-year structural warranty
- Bulk discounts available for investors and developers ordering 4+ units
What's not
- Product title lists '4 Bedrooms' while the body description and floor plan detail '5 Private Bedrooms' — CHOMEX has a data inconsistency buyers should clarify before ordering
- Two-story installation is significantly more complex than single-story CHOMEX models: crane required, site-specific structural engineering likely needed, and two-story permitting is harder in most jurisdictions
- No US residential certification (HUD, IRC-modular, or ANSI) — permitting may be very difficult for permanent two-story residential use
- Electrical arrives as standard wiring; a US-licensed electrician is required to finish hookups to code before occupancy
- Transport and installation dimensions for the two-module stack are not published; buyer must coordinate with CHOMEX before ordering to confirm site feasibility
- CHOMEX Corp. was incorporated April 2024; two-story products at this scale are new territory for the company — limited track record for complex stacked installations

Build a custom comparison →SkyLuxe — questions buyers ask
- How much does a Boxabl actually cost delivered?
- The Casita's base price is around $60,000. A realistic delivered-and-installed figure in the US is $95,000 to $140,000 once you add freight, crane, site work, an engineered pad, utility connections and permits. On raw land with no services, the top of that range is the honest planning number. Anyone quoting you a turnkey Casita at the base price is leaving something out.
- What is the cheapest foldable home you can actually buy?
- Expandable container buildings sell in the US from roughly $20,000 on marketplaces, and brand-name US sellers like Chery Industrial now start closer to $30,000, sometimes available from stock. They are legitimate portable buildings — excellent jobsite offices, studios and farm structures. They are not certified dwellings in most counties, so if your plan is to live in one full-time on a permitted lot, the real cheapest option is a certified unit at two to three times that price.
- Are the expandable container homes on Amazon any good?
- As portable buildings, some are perfectly fine — a galvanized-steel frame with foam-panel walls that unfolds into 380–800 sq ft for a low price, useful as an office, studio, guest room or short-stay unit. As dwellings, they are a problem: none of the Amazon-sold units in our catalog (Feekercn, EROMMY) carries a verified residential certification, so most jurisdictions will not permit them as a residence, and warranty and support are retail-grade. Buy one for what it is, plan for import logistics and an electrician, and do not mistake a low sticker price for a low-cost home.
- Can I put a foldable home on raw land?
- Physically yes, but the site work is where the budget goes. Raw land with no services means you pay for access, clearing and grading, a foundation, and — the big one — utilities, where a septic system alone can exceed $20,000. On the cheapest units the site work frequently costs more than the building. Plan on roughly base price × 2.2 for an unserviced site, and confirm your parcel is zoned for a dwelling and can pass a septic/perc test before you buy either the land or the unit.
- What is the Boxabl Baby Box?
- A small towable Boxabl launched around $19,999, with a wet bath and kitchenette in roughly 120 sq ft, aimed at offices, studios and guest rooms rather than full dwellings. It is SUV-towable and off-grid capable, but it is RV-classed rather than a permitted dwelling, and several specs — folded dimensions, certification and warranty — remain unconfirmed by Boxabl. Treat it as a preorder with projected numbers, not a shipping product you can pin down today.
