KOUSI Portable Storage Cubes-14 x14 Cube (24 Cubes)-More Stable (add Metal Panel) Cube Shelves with Doors, Modular Bookshelf Units，Clothes Storage Shelves，Room Organizer for Cubby Cube

I have three boys and three girls, ages 1-11, split into two rooms. I purchased three of these and made two large units to accommodate clothes and toys in an effort to reduce clutter and get rid of beat up dressers and toy boxes. I purchased enough storage cubes to fill each cubby, various sizes. The 13x13 storage cubes are too snug for the smaller kids to pull out easily due to the design. The black plastic pieces that hold the shelves together at each joint create a lip that causes the cubes to have to be lifted up and out. The smaller cubes 11x11 don’t look as nice but are easier to manage. It was tedious putting it together. The reviews here were helpful in stressing to listen for the click or snap. It’s definitely important to make sure what you have together already is tight and thorough before building more on it. My boyfriend put one together, and I put the other together. He was not very thorough in assembly, and I have had several incidents with that unit of panels coming loose or the black plastic joint pieces coming off. I would not recommend this product for child use. Kids are just too hard on furniture, and I have enough to do in a day without the worry of reassembling furniture. The materials of the unit are durable, but the design is not. It is difficult to move without compromising the integrity of the joints. We have had fewer issues with the one I assembled because I took my time and made sure each juncture was snapped together completely before continuing. I didn’t use the wooden mallet included in the box but rather used my body weight as leverage. The girls love how much space this has freed up in their room, and I love how their room is now virtually free of clutter. We got rid of two dressers and a toy box in their room with what would equate to 1 1/2 units. All of the kids loved that they could make their spaces more personalized. I bought various designs of storage cubes - prints, solids, and a bunch of different canvas/felt nursery animal cubes made by 3sprouts and Hurricane (both sold here on Amazon). I love how versatile these are in designing the look and accommodating the space where it will be. If there is an electrical outlet or light switch behind where the unit will be, you can just leave that back panel off and still have access or build it shorter on one side than the other. If you want to leave a space in the middle for a hamper, small dresser, desk, or trash can, you can build two tall columns with a couple of bridge cubes connecting at the top. The possibilities are really only limited to where your imagination ends. I like that this unit doesn’t have the limitations in design like a traditional shelf or storage unit has - tall or wide. The doors are optional. The transparent material is folded over the metal framework of the door and then stamped or sewn closed with some kind of machine. This creates a sort of zig zag seam. A few of the doors have uneven seams which cause the material to stick out farther than it should on top or bottom which causes that door to get snagged on the door on top or bottom of it, and you end up opening two at once or not being able to shut it completely flush. If your doors are doing this, it’s either a design flaw or you have a joint that isn’t completely snapped together that is causing it to not line up correctly. If I had rated this after I first got it, I would have given it 4/5 stars, but it has lost some value over two months of use because of the frustration of having to snap pieces back together. All it takes is one unstable joint. In an effort to get that one back together, you end up causing a chain reaction of other loose joints, and it becomes frustrating, especially if the unit is too tall or wide for you to get enough leverage on both sides of the joint to properly snap it back together. In retrospect, I wish I had saved my money toward a couple of sturdier, traditional pieces. These simply aren’t practical for frequent use in a house full of kids. I would recommend this for an adult who never has the urge to climb their furniture in order to obtain their optimal super hero vantage point and who never would consider the 14x14 cube space as a viable option for a hide-and-seek victory... so pretty much recommended for adult women :)

The description says each of these can hold 30 pounds. My cat can hold more weight than these things. The only way they will actually stay up is if you meld them together permanently. I had no more than 10 lbs in each of these and they still kept falling apart.This was a waste of my money. Don't waste yours too, unless you're using them solely for decoration. I bought them a few months ago and every time a stiff wind blows, they fall apart.

I recently got a smaller set like this from another seller for simple storage and since I liked it so much I went on a search for a much bigger set. Both are good but I have to admit I am quite a bit more satisfied with this one. These are one of the items in my order history that I will keep in mind for if I ever need more storage in my future.PROS: -really simple and easy to PUT TOGETHER and to TEAR DOWN! It was similar to an adult kinects kit that is more functional. -light weight -modified it how I wanted it. instead of one large one I divided it up to how I needed. didn't even need to use all of it yet. -the bottom is wire mesh instead of the same plastic as the sides. This makes it sturdier so you can put slightly heavier objects compared to other shelves like this. -has optional cute doors you can put multiple ways. -deliver quickly, package in great condition, and nothing broken! -I personally love the simple look -good priceCONS -this is more to advise personal preference for other buyers. This shelf is not an like an Ikea/Target wooden-like shelf or a heavy duty wire shelf so I would advise that it is not made for tons of heavy items (mostly if you are stacking them up like the customer pictures.) But I think if you distribute the weight wisely you can store quite a bit of different things with varying weights!

Love these cubes! My wife uses them for her yarn stash, I will definitely buy more in the future!!!

These are GREAT. I've set them up in a couple of ways and they're staying strong after several months. I split this into two different shapes so that I have my area for clothing, and my roommate uses the other. I even set some up so that the door faces upward, so it's like a lid instead of a swinging door. It took a bit of time to put together, but I'd say less than an hour, and it was very simple. The only thing I initially messed up was the direction of the junctions...you should have the flat circle facing out and toward the wall like in the image, rather than off to the side. Extra pieces (if you have any) are also very easy to store and don't take up much space.

This is a great product. Very sturdy and it looks attractive while giving me a nice ready-made closet/storage cabinet that I can put all of my stuff. I love that it is modular and I can build it in any way that I want. This cabinet is durable and it can fit a large number of items. The problem I had was one of the bottom shelves did not come with the package. Also the doors don't always stay closed. They are always a little bit open. If you open one door it can open the other door. I do like this as a very inexpensive yet sturdy storage option. That is easy to put together.

I absolutely love this. It was everything I had hoped it would be. It's bigger than I thought which is nice! Shipping did take 10 days to get to me which was a while, but over all I'm pleased. In the future I would love to see bright and colorful doors. I'm going to purchase another to hold my children's clothing this week.
