ClosetMaid Cubeicals 6 Cube Storage Shelf Organizer Bookshelf, Stackable, Vertical or Horizontal, Easy Assembly, Wood, White Finish

Sturdy, Spacious, and Simple to Assemble This 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.

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 -Stackable Cons: -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.

THIS... is the ClosetMaid 9-Cube organizer and it is a great addition to any room for those that don't want a dresser or like the cubie-style storage. I found that this took me about 30-45 minutes to put together and involved little to no cussing as it was quite easy and straightforward. You can modify it to remove a shelf from a cubie if you want to have a section two tall but you can't do two wide unless you turn it in which you can do two wide but not two tall. Assembly was easy, however, you will need a hammer for the cardboard to go onto the back and an electric drill would speed this process up significantly. Outside of that, you only need a minor working area of about 4 feet by 4 feet. The finished product is also quite nice and fits the amazon basics storage cubes or any 10.5" cube. There are caps to go on the screws so you can cover them up but I like a flush look and left them off. These cubies are also able to hold a decent amount of weight and hold about 30 lbs in one of them every day with zero sag or cracking. In the end, this has been a really nice addition to my bedroom and provides clean, aesthetic storage for my cubies. I think that if you appreciate the color, then the price and value is certainly there. I love this product, and I am certain that if you purchase it, you will share my same thoughts!

I purchased this because I needed more storage in my small room. This is a perfect addition. I absolutely recommend this cube organizer. You can either stand it up or lay it on its side. It was easy for me to put together alone, no help needed. Now in the end when I was hammering the back sides on I somehow missed that the pieces had pre pressed holes for the nails and started off hammering wrong. I missed up a little and slightly damaged it but you can't even tell thank goodness. Make sure you read the instruction a few times and put the pieces together just like it shows. This will make it easy to put it together. There were a few things missing on the instructions like the additional screws you put in on the sides to keep the boards straight in the middle. There are little holes there so I figured it out myself but they may want to add that. All of the parts were there. You can but the draws to put in it, whatever size you want and I may do that in the future but as of right now I like it just the way it is. It gave me lots of room to put stuff. Most of it of course is dog stuff thanks to Charlie but overall it fits well, its not to big but big enough and I really love it! Its a great price and shipped to my front door. I did check the local stores around me and the price was slightly higher there, I would have had to fit it in my small car and still carry it once I got home.

This is a sturdy unit, with adequate instructions, even for a novice (like me). It would be nice if the packet came with an extra screw in each size. My only other suggestion might be for Closet Maid to pre-stamp each piece with the "name" it is given in the instructions - especially in light of the fact that some boards are the same size, but have a different pattern of pre-drilled holes. You can see what I mean, below. I am a smart woman. People even tell me that, sometimes. Most don't know that I am terrible at "spatial ability" - I can't figure out how to put things (like puzzles) together very well. My brain just doesn't see that way. But today I un-boxed the shelving unit (some assembly required) I ordered in a fit of over-confidence while surfing the web at 2 a.m. a few weeks ago. I gathered my tools - a screwdriver and a hammer, just like the instructions told me to. I reviewed how many of every screw there was, and what they were called ("assembly" screw, that's an "assembly" screw -- I would even say it out loud to reinforce the concept). I counted the pre-cut, pre-drilled boards and stacked them neatly into piles by size. I bribed the 9 year-old to help gramma, and he did so willingly, at first. I got the side board connected to the top board, (or maybe it was the bottom board) and was feeling fairly proud of myself. But the instructions called for me to fit "short dowels" into pre-drilled holes in the top board (or maybe it was the bottom board). But the stupid dowels wouldn't fit! So I pulled out the instructions and realized I had picked up a horizontal divider when what I needed was a fixed shelf (same size but the dowels would fit into this one - who knew!). So I unscrewed the first two boards, and grabbed a post-it notepad and labeled ALL the boards - just in case. I had the 9-year old help me again hold the boards while I reattached the fixed shelf to the side board (or maybe it was a top board). Once again, when it came time to screw the top board (or maybe bottom?) to the vertical board, I realized there was no pre-drilled hole! The 9-year old had the best view (and better vision) and noticed immediately that the pre-drilled hole was on the wrong side. So we detached the screws (again) and turned the board around (I was so sure I had it right this time, too.) And the re-screwing was far quicker. But... you guessed it, I had the finished side (only one of the four sides was finished) pointing the wrong direction... so we backtracked. Again. Eventually, the 9-year old wandered off to play with his brother. He told me I should be more careful. Duly noted. And I urged him to keep that play appointment in the other room - pronto. So, with careful re-reading of the instructions (in three languages!) and diligence with the post-it notes (that kept sliding off the slick finish), I continued to assemble the shelf-unit. With only one near amputation when the "real wood!" board (probably that stupid fixed shelf, or maybe it was the vertical divider) slid out of my grip and landed faint millimeters from my toe. That board was heavy, too! It even shook the house! Of course it did. Anyway, I counted and there were precisely eighteen "assembly screws" and not one more and not one less. I guarded them with my life, counting before and after every potty break and coffee run. Finally, with the unit mostly assembled, I came to the "backing" (which turned out to be a folded piece of cardboard-hey, what happened to the "real wood"?). And it turned out, there were only three, despite the fact there were six openings. And now you know my sense of "style" is as absent as my spatial ability. Covering only three of the six squares provides a unique "look" - at least to all non-OCD customers. Nevertheless, I persisted. Each piece of folded cardboard was nailed down with, I kid you not, 12 teeny pin-like nails, called "nails" in the instructions (Ciou, Ciavo, Nail - that whole 3 languages thing). And these things were designed by an absolute 4-star genius. Imagine the amount of research it must have taken to size these pins to the exact the depth of my thumb! I was in awe. Because that precision measurement resulted in me not being able to even "start" the nail without slamming into my thumb. Thirty-six times, if you don't count all the ones that fell out before I could get the nail stabilized. I checked for "hacks to avoid hitting your thumb" on my phone, after only five or six nails (I told you I was smart) and discovered that you can hold a nail between the teeth of your comb (or your husband's comb, if he is not at home). Bonus, as you are pounding the bejabbers out of everything in the vicinity of your microscopic nail-pin, the comb appears to act as a protective agent for the shelf (or maybe it was the horizontal divider). The comb, however, did turn out to be mostly a total loss. But I did it. I assembled a "some assembly required" shelving unit and it only took me six hours. PS - you may need ice for the finger you forgot to move during the flailing/so-called hammering you did prior to the comb hack. PPS - and save the ice because it turns out that all those boards nailed together are far heavier than the single board that missed your toe earlier. Enjoy!

I got this shelf to organize my craft stuff on, and it works perfectly. The instructions were very straightforward and thorough, and assembly took maybe 30-45 minutes. Very easy! Instructions request a hammer and a standard screwdriver, though I opted for a drill and was just gentle when drilling in the screws. The screws are not the best quality, but they get the job done. The color matches what’s pictured, and the material is okay, just about what you’d expect for the price. I’m content with this product for the most part. The reason I rate this three stars is because the screw holes are not recessed, so the screw heads stick out. They include covers for the screw heads, so I am not worried about that on an aesthetic level, but the bottom and the top of the shelf each have a screw right in the middle. Due to this middle screw, which is not recessed, it will cause the shelf to rock back and forth and not sit well on the ground (video included of this.) There is something included to bolt the shelf to the wall, but I still don’t think you should have to bolt it to a wall to support it if you’re not storing anything heavy on it, and even with the bolting, it would not make it sit flat. My partner took his drill and made a recess for the screw himself so we could get it sitting flat, so it’s not a bad shelf if you don’t mind making that adjustment. Just keep that in mind when buying this that you may need to make that small adjustment to make it work! Three stars because I don’t think the customer should have to make such an adjustment to make the product work, especially as I know not everyone may have a drill or the drill bit needed to do that.

Shelf was easy to assemble, although a little flimsy one of the dowels pushed through as I was assembling it, overall it's a good shelf that will suit our needs just fine!

I think quality needs to improve, instructions on the manual could have been better. Once you assesmble it , you cannot dismantle it without demanging the sheet or the product. They can do better.

Wonderful, easy to assemble, brilliant instructions, look good. I fixed them to the wall in case my grandson decided to climb but they are probably sturdy enough for normal use without that in normal circumstances. Wall fixing is included though for safety reasons.

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.

I was a little skeptical of purchasing furniture online and with the kind of mixed reviews, I was unsure, however I went ahead and purchased the 9 cube and am super pleased. It was pretty easy to put together and I feel that the unit itself is pretty sturdy. Much like IKEA furniture. So not as thick as the expensive shelf at your local furniture store, but sturdy and great for the price. Product was delivered in a timely manner and I feel that for the price it was a great deal. It was pretty dusty coming out of the box so make sure you have a rag handy. Otherwise I am super pleased and wanted to write this review in case anyone else was out there on the fence about this. Happy storing!!
