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

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).

The ClosetMaid Cubeicals 8 Cube Storage Shelf Organizer is a game-changer for anyone looking to tidy up their space with style. Whether you stack it vertically or horizontally, this shelf adapts to your needs effortlessly.This organizer is perfect for books, decorative items, and even those random knick-knacks that never seem to have a home. Each cube is spacious enough to fit bins or baskets for added organization. The assembly is straightforward and doesn't require a degree in engineering.One thing to note: the back panels are a bit flimsy, so handle with care during assembly. Despite that, the overall sturdiness and design make it a great addition to any room. If you’re looking to declutter with a touch of class, the ClosetMaid Cubeicals won’t disappoint.

I will start with the negative - there was a slight chip in the center of one of the side pieces and it is not a 1 woman job to put together.Other than that, this was a great shelf to use as my TV stand in my living room. the directions were easy to follow and it is large enough to keep all of my things stored away neatly. The tan color looks great with my other furniture and is easy to wipe down for a quick clean. Everything you need to build is included other than screwdrivers, which nearly everyone already has. I would 100% buy again if needed.

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!
