Stackable Eco-Friendly Storage Cubby Organizer from Way Basics

anonymousanonymous: Literally the worst product I have ever bought.

I have purchsed three different models of this, and all of them are complete junk. Where to start. Maybe literally the worst product I have ever bought, anywhere.

First, when it says the technology is ‘paper’ they aren’t kidding. These things weight ‘ounces’ and seem so fragile I would be afraid to put more than 6 ounces on them.

Second, the ‘tape’ they use is such a terrible idea, it doesn’t work. Period. It’s not strong. Also, on SEVERAL of the pieces I tried to assemble, while trying to remove the ‘backing’, which would leave the double stick tape on the piece as need, the WHOLE piece of tape just peeled away from the product. It was then literally impossible to get the tape back on the product. This whole design is just terrible. See my photos for what happened on the piece the tape DID stick to, when I tried to pick up the piece to move it.

Also, the units are designed to be ‘stackable’. Or so it claims. But the completely open cubby has NO peg holes to allow you to stack on top of other units. The cubby wiht the shelf does, the unit with the doors do, but...

Cierra MCierra M: Perfect mini cupboard for my studio! It requires some extra reinforcement so that it stays put, overall assembly took me less than 5 minutes, and after using some epoxy to keep everything in place, I was left with a beautiful cupboard!

It also has a shiny finish & is quite thick, making it have a more “plastic” look to it. I also like that the door has a magnetic stopper.

Overall, I love it! I do feel like $25 was a bit for this piece but it looks absolutely beautiful. It’s convenient and easy to assemble, I would buy it again.

MasamuneMasamune: I appreciate that no tree is hurt to make this product (didn't know until I read the label on the box). This box is made by recycling old cardboards. No wonder each panel is so light. The other selling point is no screw is required to assemble at all. All you need to do is insert the dowels and peel the double sided tapes. However it's really not that easy in practice. When I put side A up, side B fell down. The tape is not strong enough that I repeated the process numerous times. It took very good strategy and coordination to assemble it because each panel has 3 sides that touches other panels. My suggestion is have another person help with holding. Another issue is that the little black plastic thing that hold the door in place is too thick that it ended up preventing the two connecting cardboards to adhere (pictures provided). I don't know if that's the reason for the price drop. And even the price has dropped it's still on the expensive side not worth forty bucks.

Kara: You’re expectations should be set correctly before you buy this, this is obviously cheap because it’s recycled paper so don’t have high expectations about the durability of it. It can be easily damaged just by moving it or by a small amount of water. I wouldn’t use it for storage where you’re constantly going in and out of the cubes to get items because that’s going to easily create wear. Especially with kids because they can be rough on things. It’s very light, if you move it, pick it up from the bottom to avoid it falling apart when the adhesive no longer adheres. The white coating is chipped on mine, on the edges out of the box, but it’s really no big deal, not noticeable. It’s easy enough to put together, the instructions are clear. You’re 100% going to need some super glue or some gorilla glue because as others have said the adhesive it comes with is not strong and will not last. Overall though I am happy with it, it serves the purpose I wanted it to and I like the design of the door and just the idea of using recycled paper in general. I only gave it 4 stars because the extra glue is necessary to keep it together.

Eli Durfee: It's not high quality or super sturdy, but you probably already expect that given the price. However, it's not junk and it does the job well. It's pretty easy to put together, though like other reviewers have said I'd recommend adding some extra adhesive or glue to make it sturdier and easier to assemble. Not a luxury product, but amazing for the price.

Book Reader 4 Life: Let's get one thing out of the way immediately: This item is currently $23. You are not likely going to find a heavy-duty piece of furniture for that price. So if you need something sturdy and able to hold serious weight, look elsewhere.

This is indeed a VERY lightly made product. You can toss it up and down in the air like a styrofoam cube.

This is for knickknacks, tchotchkes, odds and ends and bric-à-brac. Personally I used it to get my medications and supplements off my desk and behind a closed door.

Construction is simple and tool-less as promised. Rather than glue, there are now 3M adhesive strips that secure things together along with some small wooden dowels. You can put this thing together in about a minute.

In sum: For the money, it's absolutely perfect for my needs.

Carlos A. Sámano Caballero: Está muy bien el diseño y es muy fácil de armar, pero no aclaran que no es de madera, sino de un aglomerado de papel.
