DIY 9-Cube Children's Bookcase - 30in Adjustable Bookshelf Organizer with Shelving Unit by Hosmat

Farren Allen: Unit looked very nice and was easy to assemble. After 2 weeks it was basically useless. Not very sturdy and children can tear it up very easy, even older children cause it’s so fragile.

Sheryl M: I found this quite easy to put together. Read the directions and look at the photos before starting and separate the parts, then it makes sense how it works just by looking at the photos. I did use a hammer to tap the metal rods into place, but placed a wooden shim of the ends of them and the plastic parts before hammering so they wouldn’t get damaged. Turning the unit onto it’s side, then back upright while assembling helps too. It seems fairly sturdy now - I moved it into the room I bought it for after assembly in a different room and it didn’t wobble or come apart. The only issue I have is the rods are grey instead of blue as in the photo - the shelf pieces are blue. I put it in a room that is painted shades of aqua blue so wanted that color but it’s a huge problem. For the price it should do the job to organize my crafting and travel junk, I have most of it in baskets so just needed shelves to hold the baskets.

blank: Needed a bookshelf, this was cheeper, so I tried it.
On it I keep several sets of books in different areas, it holds a ton, and I have a few shelf's with old videogame systems I'll never use again but will never pitch. And a small tote stuffed with some beanie babies.
It's mostly old memorabilia I had stuffed away in 2 closet totes for years. Now it classes up my gaming area better than a cheep bookshelf would
I had to rate it terrible on "easy to assemble", it took forever and was a bit rough. Once you get it it goes quicker but still so long.
Still totally worth it so 5star overall.
For "sturdy" it's pretty good. I keep a shelf of old textbooks with no problem or doubt that it will hold. The poles are good for bearing loads where they are intended to be. For how light it is I am impressed with it. Don't do anything dumb with it and it'll be fine.
It's much sturdier than I expected that's for sure.

The fabric liners rip easily but as it's mostly a display shelf for me this is not an issue. I just noticed it while stuffing it with books.

Overall I love it and I'm so glad I got it. So much better than a bookshelf would have been....

WiseCrewWiseCrew: The media could not be loaded.  This cube shelving organizer is being used for toys, books (heavy school books), etc in our basement. I had NO idea it was as big as it is & was SHOCKED when it was all assembled. If you assemble is as in the product photo of at least 3 cubes on one side, it is the height of a standard light switch (it's actually a bit higher than ours).

When I opened the box I grabbed the directions & looked at the parts list, then I sorted out the parts in separate piles. ALL of the pieces were THERE, so I went to work. I had "helpers" assembling it, & it took me about 45 minutes. If you are assembling it without toddlers running away with pieces or wanting to nurse, it may take you less time. At first I found assembly a bit awkward, but once I got the first row of cubes done, it was a piece of cake. Again, I had kids grabbing pieces &...

Mpu: I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE CAN SAY THIS THING IS STURDY. SUPEREASY TO FLIP OVER BECAUSE IT IS SUPER LIGHT. I MEANT SUPER LIGHT. THAT IS WHY IS EASY TO TRANSPORT. HOWEVER IF YOU PUT HEAVY STUFF ON LOWER LEVEL I GUESS THAT WOULD PREVENT A FLIP. IT CERTAINLY SEEM CHEAP, NO DOUBTS, PICTURES ARE NOT SHOWING THAT DETAIL. BUT I DID NOT CARE AS IT IS 39 DOLLARS WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WITH THE VIRUS ALL IS EXPENSIVE, I BOUGHT VERY NICE ONE WOODY FOR 60 DOLLARS BUT NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE. ASSEMBLING THIS PRODUCT IS EASY BUT ONCE YOU ARE DOING IT CAN BE TRICKY BECAUSE YOU MAY GET CONFUSED (LIKE I FORGOT TO INSERT ONE FABRIC NOW ONE OF MY SHELF DONT HAVE FLOORING SO I OPTED TO PUT FACING DOWN. IN OTHER SHELF I GOT CONFUSED AND PUT THE SEW PART OF THE FABRIC UPWARD INSTEAD OF DOWNWARD, SO I RECOMMEND TO DO IF FRESH NOT IN RUSH OR TIRED (AS I DID). WHEN PUTTING TOGETHER THERE WAS NO CLICK SOUND SO IS HARD TO KNOW IF IT IS STRONGLY JOINTED OR NOT SO GIVES ME THE IMPRESSION THAT WILL DETACH ANYTIME BUT THIS SEEM SOLVED USING A RUBBER HAMMER. COLOR WAS BEAUTIFUL. INSTRUCTION WERE POOR (SHORT FABRICS FOR SIDES, LONG BARS AND LONG FABRICS FOR FLOORING OR EXTENSIONS). BUT GUESS...
