Over time, I've bought around a dozen WayBasics products, most for either shoes or DVDs. They're really simple to assemble and hold up well. My first product from them is a monitor stand. It looks as good now as it did three years ago. This is not proper expensive furniture. I wouldn't dare put damp shoes away before they're completely dry. They seem a little pricey to me, but I'm willing to pay a little extra to be kinder to the planet. Overall, I recommend.I think I finally got this figured out. I got one and put it together. It was a disaster! Turns out, when you peel the stuff off the adhesive, you have to be VERY careful or the adhesive stays on to the stuff you pull it off of. I didn't know. Some surfaces were sticky and some weren't. I also did not put the proper shelves in the right place, and was not able to put the back on (didn't matter; I don't need the back anyway). The second one I received the next day. I don't know if I was just more sane when I put it together, or if the previous practice helped! I had finally figured out about the ''sticky'' so this time I was VERY careful when taking off the stuff over the adhesive (cannot think what you call it). But this time, I was able to make the adhesive stay on the shelves for all of them (but there was one I really had to fight with to get the ''stuff'' off and keep the adhesive on. And for some reason, I was actually able to get the proper shelves in the proper place, and this one went together very nicely and seems sturdy. I am, however, VERY careful of it whenever I move it. The size is perfect for what I needed (be sure to measure and check all the sizes, as some people apparently are not doing that BEFORE they buy the product. My first one (the experiment) I am using, but am extremely careful with it. I am ordering more of them. I really like that I was able to put them together myself (I am NOT a very handy type person in that way). As a cancer survivor, I like the fact they are non-toxic, which is actually really hard to find anymore.These are great storage cubes: perfect size for my needs, they look good, but are also lightweight and made from recycled, sustainable materials that are surprisingly sturdy.First one I built was a bit tricky and the sides fell down on me a couple times before I got the hang of it. Second one I had done in five minutes. No sweat. Putting the cubes together was actually kinda fun.Here are a few tips:1. Use some wood glue for an easier build and sturdier final product. Just dab a little in the dowel holes before you put the dowels in. The adhesive tape is adequate, but it goes smoother with a tiny bit of glue. You don't need a lot.2. Don't get frustrated when the first couple pieces don't stay upright on you. It takes a tiny amount of practice. After you put together your first cube, you could probably start cranking out like ten an hour. I think some of the reviewers here gave up too quickly and did not use glue like I did.3. It is not meant to be picked up from the underside of the top piece, especially when there are books or other items inside. That will pull the top off. No adhesive is that strong. Screws in particle board aren't that strong either. Pick it up from the bottom or take everything out of it before you move it. Use common sense.That's pretty much it. I shopped around a lot for similar products but I kept coming back to this one. Finally I gave it a chance and I am glad I did. If you consider yourself capable of assembling a box, you can do this. It is cheap and lightweight, yes, but for all the right reasons.Best of all: Sustainability!I was looking for a short bedside table piece that would fit snugly beside my bohemian-style bed (i.e. mattress on the floor). At first, I was kind of skeptical that this cube organizer was the one for me, especially because it was kind of pricey. But I liked the idea of an eco-friendly, health-conscious, natural wood-style organizer and decided to go ahead and order one since they offered free returns on Amazon. When it arrived, I was impressed with the design and quality, but the specific unit that was shipped to me was a bit damaged: it had a dented corner and some scratches on its panels, which is not what I was hoping for. Rest assured, I found a little pamphlet inside from the owner/founder of Way Basics whose name is Jimmy. On this pamphlet, Jimmy explicitly wrote that if there were any issues with the product whatsoever, that he wanted to be contacted! He provided both his email and phone number and said that an email, phone call, or text was always welcome! As soon as I emailed Jimmy, I heard from him in just a couple hours! Jimmy apologized for the damaged product and connected me with Marwa who is their Customer Care Superstar and she had a new unit shipped to me ASAP! They were both so friendly and I am very happy with my choice to buy this awesome product from them. As you can see in the pictures I've attached, it's the perfect height beside my bed, has plenty of storage for my books within, and has ample space above for a small 6"x6" lamp. I definitely recommend this product and company to others who are looking for a nice small organizer!its literally a very cheap cardboard box that's been made to look pretty!so its weak, it comes with wood dowels and gluey strips when you assemble it, very easyalthough i recommend slapping some extra self bough glue on it,I use it as a monitor riser on my desk, so it doesn't even need to carry a lot off weight and it's doing exactly as advertisedI got two cubes for my mother in law who wanted somewhere to put a few books and her knicknacks & pictures she enjoys looking at from her chair. I like that it's "green" ie: made from recycled paper and not from wood. I had to be very careful when I put it together. Also, if I move it, I must not pull up on the top part or else it comes unglued. Directions are clear and the cube fit together perfectly. The cube with the shelf - I had to cut the back insert a little to make it fit. Perhaps I did something wrong but it worked out well. We love how these match her larger unit and it is so pleasing to look at.Cuando llegó el paquete dudaba que tuviera dentro un mueble por el peso, pero resulta que sí, es muy sencillo de armar y no pesa prácticamente nada pero puede sostener bastante peso, el material obviamente no es ni madera ni triplay está hecho de un material derivado del reciclaje del cartón y el papel por lo que también es altamente reciclable y biodegradable. Esta pieza es un módulo pues puede ensamblarse con otros módulos y hacer libreros y cosas más elaboradas. Muy recomendable y no necesita ninguna herramienta para ensamblarseMe llamó la atención que es de material reciclado, buscaba un mueble pequeño y no pesado para poner encima de una cajonera de plástico. Me fue fácil de armar siguiendo las instrucciones que están en el video del producto. Muy ligero al ser de cartón compactado, para guardar cosas livianas en mi caso prendas de bebé, es pequeño pero tiene opción a ensamblarse con otros muebles de la misma marcaWait for sales or something. This item is made from recycled paper and it mostly laminate on what feels like it should be some kind of corrugated cardboard. It's not wood. It's not worth $50. It is small and at most is worth around 30. There's a taller bookshelf around here for $38 in expresso at the time of writing.Excelente producto, bonito, duradero y resistente. Sólo hay que pegar bien las piezas porque se puede desarmar. Muy ligero. Vale la pena. No conviene poner mucho peso ya que es de cartónLo único malo es que esta muy pequeño, pero si lo juntas con otros tamaños de la misma marca que son estibables quedan perfecto. Además son ecológicos.
