I bought the white Cube unit along with the Way Basics white 2-Shelf Eco zBoard Stackable Tool-Free Assembly Bookcase Storage Organizer, and several of the Way Basics Connect Systems - the Cube unit is significantly yellow'd in color compared to the white units. Overall, these products are not strong enough for daily/heavy use. I wouldn't recommend them to households with children or pets because they can be easily damaged and come apart. In my case I'm using them for a retail display, and don't plan on using them forever. For me it was worth the money, and I do appreciate how eco-friendly they are! The concept is great; if only they could make them more durable and rugged for long-term/heavier use.

2 separate purchases: 1st when relocating during COVID quarantine and then this year for a temporary office change. Love that the product is light and portable—this especially saves packing time when frequently moving. The shelves were quick and easy to assemble. Only 1 of 6 shelves had an issue with the adhesive not firmly sticking, but this in no way affected the 115 lb weight it could bear. Really great that the materials have no off-putting odors and are recyclable. I expect to keep the shelves for a long while: They bring familiarity to constantly changing work/life environments.

Cheap

I bought 6 of these thinking that would be good for storage. I just got them and put one together and they are terrible. Very flimsy and cheap. I can’t imagine these are going to last long at all and aren’t worth $25 a piece. As soon as you pick them up they crumble.

Easy to assemble although some of the boxes (I ordered 4) kept falling apart while putting them together. Since I finally got the pieces to stay together they have held up well. The Black wood grain blends in very well with my other black furniture for a cohesive look. They work well for an inexpensive way to store things and are so light weight you can easily transfer them anywhere. Great for dorm rooms, apartments or any other space that does not call for a more refined look or quality.

It is not wood and that is amazing....I lost an important part for my DIY project and emailed Jimmy...he promptly answered my questions and he did some problem solving for me. I now have four great cube unit organizers in a small corner near the front door....the cubes are anchored securely and the faux wood grain in black looks impressive. I sincerely appreciated the help via text and have sent a link to my sister who has five cats about the cat litter boxes..Barb H. Leawood, KS

Don't waste your money!

1. It is not board, not even particle board. It's paper. 2 the finish is splotchy and very thin paper. 3. I can not see any way it can be used for any purpose. I would send it back but lady around unopened through the holiday and it's probably too late. Buyer beware!!!

Ok but not great

Easy to put togetherness. Not very strong though. I bought it to raise something off the floor and it fell apart under pressure... however this is not its intended use so I still gave it a 4 star.

These cubes assemble quickly without the need for tools using wooden pegs fitted into pre-drilled holes. A quick and inexpensive way to compartmentalize closet clutter.

Simple and useful!

This product was very thoughtfully designed to be very simple and easy to assemble, but also to be reasonably attractive once put together! I've bought a lot of things in this category before, so I was pleasantly surprised at the quality, and how great it looks once it's put together! I was a little skeptical about the durability because my house can be somewhat rough and tumble at times, but this organizer seems to hold it's own!

Not very sturdy

These cubes would not stay together until I glued them and stapled the backs on. The adhesive strips and cardboard dowels just didn't get the job done. They are very lightweight and that is nice when you are handling them. I purchased several to use for a shoe tower in our closet. I stacked and attached them to each other. They look very nice and hold quite a few pairs of shoes (can put two shoe boxes per cube). I am hoping they hold together as I just did a reno on that closet and would hate to start over.

Hi Sweetpea, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. When assembled and used properly Way Basics are very strong as you can see here: http://www.waybasics.com/about-zboard May I ask what happened to cause your cube to be fall off? From the sounds of the review, the cube might have been used on its side, backing not placed, or adhesive not used which would cause it to fall apart. Here's a video showing how strong the adhesive is: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9udPWcau9GUWms3NU9Lb011dHc Please reach out to me directly and I will be happy to send a replacement free of charge to assure your 5 star experience with our products and experience.
