ClosetMaid4584 Decorative Open Back 8-Cube Storage Organizer, Bleached Walnut

I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter's room. I was able to assemble it easy enough by myself in no time. It is the perfect size (3x3) which I had not been able to find elsewhere. It is sturdy and looks so good and holds so many toys in her room. I would recommend this and definitely would purchase it again!

This is a great addition to the 6 cube version by this company. I have it stacked on top. Its a better build quality too, which is actually annoying. This 2 cube version is built way stronger than the 6 cube version. IT has like 3 inch screws and feels very sturdy.

purchased two of these units, and just finished assembling the first of them. To begin with, shipping was much faster than expected--despite an estimated delivery date of tomorrow (January 25), the package arrived two days ago, just ahead of the winter storm that you're all sick of hearing about. Packaging was...confusing. Both boxes were wedged diagonally into a much larger shipping box which could probably have held a medium-sized refrigerator, with nothing more than some brown paper tossed in to prevent shifting. However, the inner boxes did hold up pretty well, and at least on the one I've put together everything came through undamaged.Assembly was fairly easy, although the diagrams provided leave quite a bit to be desired. If you are completely lost in assembling anything more complex than a sandwich, you'll want to find someone else to do it for you...but if you can puzzle out some of the less-than-precise instructions, you'll be fine. The assembly instructions indicate that glue (not included) must be used to hold some of the wooden dowels in place, but I opted to skip that step and see no loss in sturdiness as a result. You will need to have a philips head screwdriver and a small hammer available.As far as construction goes, I did find one dowel hole which had been drilled far too deep, but this was "fixed" by stuffing a piece of plastic into the hole. Again, the instructions are not the most detailed I've ever seen, so you'll want to be careful in ensuring that all of the finished sides are facing the same direction before screwing anything in (particularly if you do use glue). However, once you have everything lined up properly the screws go in easily and the finished product looks as nice as can be expected in the price range, and it is quite sturdy. Additional wall-mounting brackets are provided for those who plan to stack units.The cubby holes on the second level are pretty small, which will limit their usefulness. Large enough for a few books or compact discs, but you're not going to get much more in there. With the backing nailed in place it's also unlikely you'll be able to use them for shoes, unless you wear a particularly small size. The spaces on the bottom are much wider, however, and the backing strip does not cover these. The firmness of the build allows for larger items to be stored on top as well; I currently have a laundry hamper sitting on the top shelf, with no bowing apparent.Overall, worth the $35-40 price point, but not something you can use in place of a dresser or bookshelf and certainly not an item to be passed down for generations. I'll update as necessary over time.Update 3/21/17: More than a year later, nothing has changed. Unit one is still supporting a heavy laundry hamper and showing no signs of wear, while my old CPU has found a place atop the second unit which is also holding up beautifully. At this point I can comfortably say that only things holding this item back from a 5-star review are the poor assembly instructions included and the small storage areas inside the units. Other than those two items, a very well-engineered product which is quite fairly priced.

worked perfectly for my grdgirls

Very sturdy and cute. Very simple to build i didn’t mount mine so all the tools and screws come with if your not mounting it but if you are you need your own screw driver tools but very simple and sturdy but one piece came a bit small it warped so I had to have my grandpa come in and strech the one side so I can get the screws in. Other than that very cute and simple.

I bought this for storing our vinyl records in. And this is perfect! Each cubby holds 70-75 records, giving more than enough storage space (for now). Plus the finish I bought perfectly matches our coffee table and entertainment unit!This was easy to assemble despite some confusing instructions (if you’ve put together a lot DIY furniture, this will be a breeze for you). It’s sturdy, but need to make sure weight is evenly distributed just in case. Very happy with my purchase.

Most shelves like this seem flimsy to me, but this one is very thick, heavy and sturdy!

This is the second storage cube buy from you. I really love it.however it was a little damage on arrival..... I will not return it because i was able to "hide" the damage. just wanted to let you know it is fragile when traveling.......FYIdefinitely would buy more and recommend closet maid products.

Easy to assemble and actually quite durable. Comes with real screws and an Allen Key. Quite sturdy actually. No wiggling or looseness once assembled

Absolutely worth it. The size is more than generous, and it’s quite sturdy and strong.

tres satisfait

Very easy to assemble, came with brackets to secure to wall but even with carpet I didn’t see the need - very secure on its own, came with stickers to hide the silver pieces on outsides.

Easy to assemble, holds many records. Would recommend.
