I bought 3 of these for staging on a house. The red put just the right pop in the gray bathroom. When you put them together it is best to have some wood glue available to glue the pieces together. It comes with built in adhesive on strips but they don't hold. Nice looking, served my purpose.

Fell apart within first week of purchase!
The sides of the cube came unglued within the first week after my purchase. These are so cheaply made, you're better off making them yourself if you can.

Hi nicole, Thank you for taking time to share your review with us. I'm very sorry to hear what happened. The material used in Way Basics is not cardboard, it's a much stronger and sturdier patented material called zBoard. When assembled and used properly Way Basics are very strong as you can see here: http://www.waybasics.com/about-zboard. Please reach out to me directly with photos of your unit and I promise to help you in any way I can. Anything we can do to help, our team is here to service you.

ZBoard Cube
It arrived much larger, deeper, and heavier than I expected. It was easy to assemble. The sides are thick (about 1/2 inch) and it is deep. It's an excellent storage piece that you can build upon or use as is in a small space.

Assembly was pretty easy! It didn't require any tools to put together, which was super nice. Just peel the 3M tape, and push down. My only advice with installation is to check each piece and look at the diagram as you go. The shorter, vertical pieces have tape on three sides, and the longer, horizontal ones have only one. You will also notice the horizontal pieces are the only ones that have holes on the flat surface, not the edge. In 5 minutes, you will have a cube. A cube that can be used for so many things: towels, toys, cups, books, a small tv could possibly rest on top, the ideas are endless. I have to note that laying the cube flat with the backer board is not recommended as it will not be at its strongest. The instructions suggest resting the horizontal, longer side on the floor instead. Doing this gives you two shelves, in a way, giving you more area to rest things! See, it's a good thing.
Overall, pleased with the product and simplicity of putting it together. Also really like the color and style. And of course its main purpose of storing things!

Easy to assemble, sturdy and perfect for our product display. I'll be ordering 10 more! Only downside is the "white" was really "off-white"

Liked it very much
I got 2 and used them as risers to elevate my LED tv. Now its perfect height and the cubbies hold a pair of my cintage Ming vases safely in them.

Great Value Product
Very easy to assemble. They appear quite strong and have a clean aesthetic. Certainly do not appear as solid as a real wood piece of furniture, but a very quality product for a very reasonable price.

Excellent quality for the price
I was a little skeptical about how sturdy these cubes would be when I read they are cardboard, but they are very strong. I wouldn't put anything really heavy in/on one, but for clothes, they are great. They are very easy to put together -- no tools required, but you only get one shot with the tape adhesive so just be sure you align the pieces carefully before pressing them together. And the colors are really fun. My daughter loves seeing the pink in her closet!

made of cardboard
these are junk... even for the cheap price they are not worth $20 I believe they are made of cardboard with a thin vinyl or mylar coating...even the "dowels" used between the pieces are rolled up cardboard. Also, the color and texture of the back does not match the rest ... just pitiful.

Great looking product, easy to assemble, light/thin material
Product looks great and is easy to assemble but it is made of very thin/light material and doesn't seem very durable. We use it to hold towels and other small/lightweight items in our bathroom and it functions fine for those purposes but I would not recommend if you are looking to store or carry heavier items. Definitely suitable for indoor use only.
