ClosetMaid 9 Cube Laminated Wood Reversible Stackable Open Bookcase Display Shelf Storage Organizer for Home and Office Organization, White

BASIC Economic Cube Shelves for Lighter-Weight Duty
I gave this 5 stars for the ECONOMY of it, but feel I should clarify what this IS and IS NOT. THIS IS VERY BASIC ECONOMY LIGHTWEIGHT STORAGE AT A CHEAP PRICEPOINT.This is NOT the same as the Ikea Kallax or Walmart Better Homes and Gardens level of reinforced sturdiness for holding heavier weighted items like books, nor are the interior cube dimensions compatible with those brands of 13″ or 12″ fabric cubes.This IS: These shelves are ideal for lighter-weight storage such as baby/toddler clothes or kids toys— or in our case, the kids wanted LEGO display shelves for their 10×10 base-plate scenes and quick storage of random toys like Hotwheels, etc. When purchasing fabric cubes be sure they are the 10″ or 11″ dimensions. I found that “Mainstays” collapsible fabric cubes at Walmart fit nicely in here, but even better score was when I found some 11″ cubes at our Dollar Tree (bargain!). These ClosetMaid Cubeicals benefit from being anchored into a stud on the wall, rather than being used as stand-alone/free-standing shelves. The 9 cube = 3×3 could be tolerable/”okay” freestanding if you absolutely insist, but I also bought some 1×4 and those must be secured or they sway and wobble pretty noticeably.A few miscellaneous notes: The 5 “shelf backings” arrive with a permanent creased fold down the middle-for shipping, and are made of thin poster-board like material. If this crease bothers you, just buy posterboard and cut your own backs to tack in. Or if you want something thicker, I imagine “foamboard” from the school supply aisle works great if you score it with a box-cutter.When I tacked in the shelf backings, one of my shelves tore/split even though the tack went in straight and precisely where it should have. I chose to use wood glue to repair the piece rather than return the shelves.This was fast and easy to assemble, the instructions were clear. We’ve had the shelves for two days now, so I may update this later on to report on durability.Why I gave it 5 stars: The shelves fit our current purpose wonderfully, and I love that when I don’t require heavy duty weight bearing shelves, there is a very economical option I can snatch up. Eventually I do want the heavy duty, larger 13″ cube shelves from a major brand, but for now I appreciated paying less than forty bucks to have a 9 cube = 3×3 shelf, rather than eighty or one twenty bucks for 3×3 from the other brands. Later on, I will pay more to buy some that are textbook sturdy and can do more things.The photos: You will notice I originally had 12″ cubes (white with blue petals), and realized I needed the 10 or 11″ cubes (beige/gray). Also I did show one photo of my 4 cube storage here, even though this is my review for the 9 cube (3×3).

Dresser Today, Book & Toy Storage Tomorrow!
I found this to be super simple to put together (a little time consuming but simple). I felt a bit intimidated when I saw all of the pieces but the instructions are very clear I was able to put it together on my own. It looks exactly like the picture and I’m using it as a replacement for a dresser and I Love it! I got some really awesome heavy duty baskets to put in 4 of the spaces at Target. The little brown things that go on top of the screws dont fit so I might have to go buy a brown permanent marker to make the silver screws less visible. I was surprised at how sturdy the cardboard backing was for the 4 random spaces. I mean it is cardboard but it’s sturdy and it’ll be up against a wall so I think it was pretty good. You defenitly should secure it to the wall, especially on carpeted areas (all hardware is included).Two tools to have on hand are a screwdriver and hammer ( I just used the butt of my screwdriver as a hammer and it worked for me). It is so esthetically pleasing and what’s so great is that you can change up the uses for it…..it’s like a multipurpose piece of furniture. I am using it as a dresser in my current apartment but I like that I can use it to store books, towels, toys or any other need I might have in the future. I know this isn’t top of the line material but I didn’t pay top of the line price either.***Be careful when hammering because you can easily chip this material. I did that to one part and I just placed a clear piece of tape over it and I keep a basket in there so I wont ever notice it.Would defenitly recommend!

These shelving units have been so helpful in my organization books and toys they are easy to put together and they were delivered quicklyI would recommend buying

I love this storage unit. I bought two of them and stacked them on top of each other. They are simple with clean lines and classic white. The cubes make for really versatile storage of different kinds of items and can add colourful drawers as well to brighten up the unit and match your decor etc. I put them together on my own so pretty simple to put up. Looked fairly modest when I put them up in size but they held loads of item. Put everything I wanted to put away in there and still had room for future storing. Very happy. Only thing I’d say is that the backings looked fairly flimsy like cardboard but since I never wanted to put them on that didn’t bother me, just put it against a wall.

Pedí este organizador aproximadamente hace un año y medio en un precio similar a los 600 pesos, más alrededor de otros cien pesos de envío y a la fecha no he tenido ningún problema con él, la calidad es buena, material de melamina, espacioso para guardar objetos y el armado fue sencillo, sólo ocupa un desarmador convencional. En otras tiendas para el hogar, su precio oscila de mil pesos en adelante siempre que lo busco.Es una buena opción para la casa u oficina!
