I got these for inside a closet. I will be ordering more pieces.
The 2% not wonderful: Some of the bagged parts and/or related instructions were mislabeled. It was EZ to figure out, though, and I could tell the manufacturer is working to correcting this.
The cubes arrived in one large shipping (2-man) box, each cube having a separate box. All the pieces for each cube have a separate bag of their own to make it simple to identify. Cubes are very easy to assemble requiring only a Phillips screwdriver (recommend do not use a drill). I sat on the floor in front of TV, from opening the large shipping container to throwing out the trash took about 4 hours for the 5 cubes. I have carpal tunnel in both hands and took a couple breaks too.
After 30+ years of assembling furniture, bikes, electronics, appliances and the like these are at the top as far as packaging and instructions go, even with the mistakes in labeling.
A huge plus to the lighter-weight composite they use is that it doesn't reek horribly of glue and chemicals. I am allergic to plywood, and I noticed not much odor until I reached the cubes with the door and drawers (last) and it wasn't so bad even then.
I have a couple of hints:
- assemble the single open cube first to get the idea because they all follow the same pattern and parts.
- put aside the parts labeled L, M, N and O until after all 5 pieces are assembled. These are the finishing pieces for connecting and supporting the back. After you decide how you want them connected, then put them on accordingly - it saves time because which pieces you use depends upon how you eventually want them connected.
- the drawer cube I got had some steps already completed (thankfully) and it was the most "confusing" because the parts were also mislabeled. But because I did it last I was able to figure it out just fine.
I got the white; it is the smooth, glossy EZ clean type laminate. The cubes fit together perfectly, no misaligned holes, jutting edges, etc.

Lightweight versatile storage cubes that are easy to assemble!
I purchased this grouping of modular shelves and cubes because they were cheaper as a package deal. This wasn't exactly the layout I wanted but I bought other individual pieces to complete my project. I HAD a very messy daughter who left her dolls, toys, clothes, markers and barbies all over the floor, the bed and the dresser. I needed light weight storage to encourage her to keep her room neat. I bought enough of these cubes to go all the way across one wall of her room about 2 cubes high. Mine arrived undamaged save one chipped corner and I order about 15 different cubes. They were very easy to put together. They stacked well and didn't wobble or slide off. They were perfect for their purpose in my house. They are made of light weight chipboard or mdf coated in vinyl or plastic. They aren't meant for a lot of weight. I put mine together with a screwdriver rather than using a battery operated drill for fear of stripping out screw holes. But for art supplies, barbie clothes and dolls, and toys they are perfect. I purchased those cloth bins or baskets that fit perfectly into the cubes and viola! I had a little girl who was so excited to put everything away because there were so many compartments. Four stars because I felt the price was little high.
