Closetmaid Decorative Home Stackable 6 Cube Cubeicals Organizer Storage Bookcase, with Hardware for Office, Home and Closet, White

Sturdy, Spacious, and Simple to AssembleThis ClosetMaid 12-cube organizer turned out to be a solid choice for our storage needs. The unit is surprisingly sturdy once put together and can hold a good amount of weight without bowing. I like that it can be positioned vertically or horizontally depending on the space, which makes it versatile for both a living room or a closet. The white finish has a clean, simple look that blends well with different room styles.Assembly was straightforward with clear instructions; it took me about an hour working at a steady pace. All the pieces lined up properly, and I didn’t have any trouble with missing parts. Once set up, the cubes are roomy enough for bins, books, or even folded clothes, and it helps keep things looking tidy instead of cluttered.Something to keep in mind is that, while it’s sturdy, it’s still particleboard — so it’s best for lighter items or evenly distributed weight. I wouldn’t overload it with very heavy objects.Bottom line: A functional, attractive, and easy-to-assemble organizer that provides flexible storage at a reasonable price.

amazing big and very heavy, its particle board and cheaper, but for something thats not full real wood it doesnt feel like particle board its super sturdy and heavy. its simple to put together very deep for the price as well its like 1ft by 1ft on the bigger end. screws and alignment are excellent the guidlines make it so easy to put together

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 10x10 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 = 3x3 could be tolerable/"okay" freestanding if you absolutely insist, but I also bought some 1x4 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 = 3x3 shelf, rather than eighty or one twenty bucks for 3x3 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 (3x3).

So perhaps I am bring critical with my review here. There are some concerns and cons to this shelf, it isn't perfect. But it is decent for the price, which is relatively cheap.Pros:-Price-Easy Assembly-Variety of colors and sizes to choose from-StackableCons:-There are little plugs to cover screws. Plugs don't fit nicely in the screws.-11 x 11 cubes fit almost too snugly and it is difficult to remove fabric cubes because of how tight they fit-I dislike the backing. It is cardboard which is cheap, but I wish it just slid in a track down the back side of the unit. Instead they give you a million little nails, and you need to be careful that the nails are lined up correctly while you hammer each nail in. It is tedious, easy to hammer the screws in unevenly and ruin the flimsy particle board.- came with a few areas that looked like they were already chipping. I kept the unit anyway because it wasn't very noticable.It is a decent looking storage unit, but could be better. The price does make up for the small quality issues as these shelves are really cheap. But the hand off for them being so cheap, is that they probably won't last more than a year to two.
