cube organizer

Our niece lives abroad most of the year and stays with us in the summers. While she's definitely a minimalist, she still needed space to organize her things while here. I needed something cost-effective and functional -- quickly. I found these cubes and thought, for the price, I'd give them a shot. The cloth material seems like it will be too weak and too flimsy when you take it out of the packaging. However, once it is in place, it becomes taut and sturdy. I struggled with the instructions at first -- but that really was a "me" thing -- and once I got the understanding of the set up, the instructions were easy to follow. You can re-organize the cubes in multiple ways and essentially create more space throughout your room. Everything felt flimsy initially, but once constructed, the unit is very stable. I don't recall if they have shelving in any other color but black. I'd probably still choose black for that room. This setup gave her space to organize and sort her clothing. I probably wouldn't place things heavy, like books, on any of the upper shelves. The bottom shelves may be able to handle it. Definitely a good buy for what I needed.

I recently bought the black 5-tier, 18-cube Mavivegue bookcase, and I’m really happy with it. Putting it together was easier than I thought. Each cube fits together well, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I also like how simple it is to take apart and set up again. I recently moved and had no trouble taking it apart and rebuilding it in a new layout, which shows the design is well thought out. The metal tubes and plastic connectors fit snugly, so the whole bookcase feels sturdy once it’s assembled. Here’s a quick tip: Be careful with the small plastic hammer that comes in the kit. If you hit the uncovered metal tubes too hard, they may bend slightly, making them more difficult to fit into the connector holes. Using the plastic covers when tapping things into place helps prevent that. For the price, this bookcase is a great value, especially considering the amount of storage it offers. The 18 cubes hold almost half of my large book collection. One 18-cube bookshelf holds around 350 books. The books in my photo aren’t alphabetized yet; I just stacked them quickly to see if I’d need one or two more units for the rest of my collection. The cubes can hold a substantial amount of weight, and their modular design makes it easy to adjust the size or shape to fit your space. Overall, it’s affordable, sturdy, practical, and just what I needed.

This serves its purpose, so I'm happy. I needed extra storage in the closet and preferred something modular to accommodate the existing overhead shelf. It's definitely a bit tedious and time consuming to put together (probably 45+ minutes or so) but overall simple. I bought the 16-grid option since I was planning on needing 15 based on the space, but there is a caveat with the layouts. You will have some extra pieces of each element, but your layout choice may make it seem like you're "short" pieces. The 16-grid version accounts for 4 layouts, so if you deviate, you may run into a problem. It's supporting the heavier things just fine (cast iron pans and woks), so I'm not worried about it giving out. There is an anti-tip kit, but the unit is very stable so I didn't install it. I also didn't bother with the mallet, just placed each connecting section against the ground and pressed until they locked properly. Make sure you get your first row on a flat, even surface to ensure it stays level as you build. Once the bars are in, it's incredibly difficult to get them out, so double check you've put the correct side pieces on. It feels a bit flimsy, but it's certainly not going anywhere. If it was going to be in a visible place, I would have chosen something more aesthetic, but for what it is, this is exactly what I needed..

I loved this book shelf so much I bought a second one. The first one I stood up as displayed in the picture. The second I made at an angle downward and it’s so cute in my living room. Very sturdy, my cats climb up it and it remains standing. The black goes well with my interior decorating. And lastly, the storage capacity is unreal. Especially with the angle design (found in the instructions) because you have the space on top of each shelf.

I purchased this to use in an upstairs room with low walls under a sloped ceiling. From the photos, I assumed it was more or less customizable in terms of how the cubes went together, so I thought I would be able to assemble a wider shelf with fewer vertical tiers to fit the low ceiling clearance. Unfortunately this isn't the case. The unit is designed to be 3 cubes wide x 6 cubes high, and the configuration is limited by the fact that 14 of the plastic connectors are "outside" pieces that only have holes on one side. It is impossible to assemble all 18 cubes if it is not in the 3w x 6h configuration. Since I chose this product specifically for the number of cubes, I can't use it as intended because 6 cubes is too tall for the room. I would have preferred that all the connectors be double-sided, perhaps with caps for the holes if they were concerned about the outer appearance. Sturdiness: Properly assembled (use the included plastic mallet to make sure rods are securely installed), the shelf is better quality than I'd expected. The rods will definitely bend under heavy weight, so it's a light-duty unit, but for lightweight items like clothing or shoes it should be fine. The Oxford cloth covers look cheap, but are pretty standard for this caliber of shelf unit. At this price point I'd say this product is about as good as you could expect. Caution: I sliced a large chunk out of my finger while wrestling the shelf into position when the end of a rod slipped out of its slot and pinched my hand between the metal edge and the connector. The metal ends are sharp and WILL cut you, so be careful!

it is okay but I was expecting more

Not sturdy. Poles tend to pop out and gets bent easily

not firm enough to hold hard cover books, some rods may dislocate too.
