Mainstays 9 Cube Storage Organizer, White

This unit is the most sturdy I have put together in many years. I have recently moved and have put together many, many items like this recently. It is really sturdy and looks great. It uses actual screws and nails. The directions were easy to understand and follow. This was a great purchase!

Diy-ed it to be a backpack "locker" station for this upcoming school year since I'll have 1 in TK and 1 in 1st grade and I didn't want to have EVERYTHING from school land on the dinner table every day after school. Look's like it'll work to hold backpacks, jackets, and bins for paperwork etc...

This arrived in good shape. It was easy to put together. I was surprised to see the improvements made to some of the materials used to assemble, compared to the old style. It’s perfect for what I need it for. I wouldn’t use it for anything heavy, especially if it’s sitting on carpet.

My new Mainstays 9 Cube Storage Organizer, Warm Walnut book case is exactly what I ordered and arrived on time without any scratches or dents. I love the color and if you follow the directions it's a piece of cake to put together. Yes if you have a little helper then it would be faster but I like doing things myself so it took me a little longer. All in all it's a nice piece of furniture at a great price.

The only thing I didn't like was the backings were made out of thin cardboard (easily breakable). Everything else, I have so far enjoyed. The assembly process was moderate. I had assistance setting it up and the person whom helped me had concerns with the placement of the screws in the sense he thought it was “stripping”. We hadn't put the mounted piece for the wall on it. Probably should but I personally didn't want to drill a whole in the middle of the top shelf and see a metal piece on top every time I looked at it. But that's my preference. At the moment it's up and holding.

Great organizer shelf and we love the Target branded cubby shelfs as it doesn’t have visible particle board showing on one side like others. It’s great for the price. You could always do a DIY project with it to create something in your home or office. It’s not a sturdy shelf but it does the job overall. It can easily scratch and get water damage but its a good shelf for the price, it could probably be a cheaper shelf but its works.

The shelf looks good enough, but was difficult to put together. And once it was finished, it wasn't sturdy at all. I'm afraid to put it in my granddaughter's room for books or toys. I'm afraid it will collapse on her. I bought two and am returning the one I did not put together yet. The moral of of the story is you get what you pay for. I paid $25 more for one from Ikea, but it has taken a beating and continues to stand! I'll go grab another from there.

I haven’t bought a cube shelf in years, but I was in need of one for my kid’s room and thus ordered from Walmart. However, upon assembling the unit, I was dismayed to find the plastic dowels provided were flimsy and insufficient. Following a fruitless search for suitable dowels, I planned to employ wood hot glue to reinforce the structure. Unfortunately, the assembly process was further compromised when the components malfunctioned, bending the plastic dowels and breaking the cheap particleboard. $45 on this unit and $20 on additional materials. I will proceed with returning the defective shelf tomorrow.

plastic dowels too small for the project type. most cheap cabinets have a solid piece of cardboard to hold the back together, not this one... its a couple small pieces. screws immediately strip out the worst mdf board ive ever come across. currently adding wood glue, brackets, and a proper backing. bought on sale (shocking i know) some deals are too good to be true DO NOT BUY

Despite the packaging attempts that were clearly used to try and prevent surface damage to the pieces- there were several pieces broken, scratched, or visually damaged. We have a few of these cubes from Walmart and this one was the only one like that- so maybe just a fluke.
