Whitmor Cube Organizer 3-Section, Espresso

I put these horizontally on its side in the bottom of my closet so I would have cubbyholes to help organize that space better and it worked out really well. Good purchase. I normally use a lot of IKEA to organize things, however, some of the shelving units have really thick wood like an inch more, which is a waste of space where I needed it.

Update:Go ahead and buy this unit. Just understand the quality and only attempt something that stresses it once all boards are fully assembled on a horizontal surface and screwed in. I should have known something was up when the package showed up marked as Fragile! :)I changed this review from 1 to 5 because the customer service people at Whitmor are actual humans who want to give the customer a good experience. They were understanding of my situation in this exact case and also that the instructions didn't make it clear that the thing needs to make it past step 6 (screws in the side boards) before it can be moved.In this instance, I didn't have enough space and had to move it before the critical "screws" step.The dowels are apparently just there to somewhat hold things in place till the screws anchor it all Only the vertical side boards (same material) are intended to take the distributed weight of the unit. Every force must only be straight down. For example, even with it glued, there is no chance of it withstanding a lateral force.In the end, we agreed both parties could have done better. They let me keep the somewhat mangled one and sent me a new one. I can use them for light weight storage where they won't be bumped by anything.I'm happy with the compromise.------------Original:—--------The panel board needs to be much thicker and higher quality. The unit barely stands up to its own weight. The dowels provided are too short and not large enough in diameter for the task. However, the holes drilled are large enough such that there is wobble and only about 2-3mm of particle board supporting the dowels. Also, the particle board looks more like a sponge than wood.To top that off, it seems the varying position of the pre-drilled holes side-to-side on the panel boards also applies to the angle the holes are drilled.It seems they used the hole to dowel size difference to handle the horrible drilling tolerances.The unit collapsed, breaking nearly every dowel, the first time I tried to move it to put the “top” on. Re-drilling holes, and using glue to fix all the places the dowels broke through the panel boards is a nightmare.If this shelf ever gets together, it will be a slanted eyesore that can only hold about 1lb per “box”.I never expect Whitmor to be great quality, but they do tend to make it to the assembled state before falling apart.

I previously purchased two 5-shelf chrome wire shelving units that were also made by Whitmor. This company makes high quality products. The need arose for book storage, so I purchased 6 of these 3-cube Whitmor units. Just like the shelving units I had bought, the cube units were very easy to assemble, and came well packaged. An allen wrench is included to insert the screws with, but I opted for an electric drill with the correct size bit, making the screw insertion much faster. The only other tool you will need for assembly is a hammer to attach the backing board with the small included nails. When I need more storage solutions, I will buy Whitmor brand above all others. I couldn't be happier with their products.

I ordered this for my daughter because she needed something to hold her fabric storage bins. She was using a fabric storage bin holder but it kept falling apart and I was tired of fixing it so I decided to buy this one. Her dad put it together in less than an hour and it looks fine and works good. It is cheap materials but that’s what I expected because of the reviews. I would recommend this to people with limited space and need something like this to keep things neat and tidy.

I liked this shelf so much I bought a second one. It's decently sturdy and goes together very easily in about 20 minutes. Both of mine arrived intact and undamaged. I didn't use the thin back "board" as I prefer the look without it and it's still structurally sound. Just know that the back of the shelf is unfinished- no white coating, just exposed particle board. If it's up against a wall you won't be able to tell. Recommend 👍

This cubical is exactly what I expected because I've ordered it before. But be careful about assembly: it will wobble without those backs nailed in. Take the extra few minutes to put in all 8 nails and you'll have a sturdy storage unit.

Very good, serves the purpose and easy to assemble

The media could not be loaded. Very fast delivery

Quality isn’t amazing but for the price I found this sort of thing other places, I’m okay with it. I built each one in about 30-45 mins so if you’re used to building furniture or you’re good with a hammer and nails it shouldn’t be a problem to assemble the back covers. You could also just leave those off but I like it so items don’t fall backwards out of the shelf. I suggest buying some square material storage bags to complete the look and alternate boxes for a nice contrasted look

Took me less than an hour to assemble, only needed a little help from my husband but a person can assemble this on their own with no problem. It’s been sturdy so far but will update if any problems arise.Tip for anyone building on their own, I would start with the base shelf first on the bottom so that it could hold itself up and stand while you nail the other shelves down.

I love this product, it was exactly like in the picture!
