Way Basics Modular 6 Cube Bookcase - Espresso

Comments about Way Basics Modular 6 Cube Bookcase - Espresso:

I bought this because I though it was a solid 1 piece unit. It is not. The cubes cannot connect together. This company should just sell the individual cubes and state that they can be put together in any way. If you have these stacked, its very easy for a child to knock them over or in my case, when they need to be moved every day to mop the floor, you have to move 6 cubes instead of 1 book case. Definition of a bookcase, "a piece of furniture with shelves to store books." Not "Pieces of furniture." Very dissatisfied with their description. Waste of my time.

"Frankly, at first I had doubts. But, I needed a bookshelf for a low ceiling area for a media room and I decided to go for it. I am pleasantly surprised and satisfied. I am considering buying six more of the larger ones for another project I have.In no particular order, here are my observations:Concept - very unique use recycled materials. I'm no greenie, but still like the conceptFit - Very good fit with careful positioning during assemblyWeight - surprisingly lightStrength - very strong once assembled for intended useColor - just what I expected and wantedVersatility - great. See posted picture for an interesting variationPrice Performance - Excellent value for price paidCustomer Service - Excellent. Asked Jimmy a question about back board [it IS reversible] and had reply in hoursAssembly - fun and fast. 15 minutes accurate as posted. OK, if you are a ""detail"" person maybe 30 minutesProduct Packaging - when I first saw outer box, oh, oh, but, each cube is carefully packed in its own box, no problemDelivery - usual, great [@] performanceImportant assembly suggestion - put one cube together WITHOUT peeling the 3M tape. Make sure the side panels all have tape showing on the back of the cube to attach the back board. Backboard is vital piece that gives stability and strength to the cube. Note that though there are small dowels used in assembly. There is small amount of movement allowed for precise edge alignment. So, when doing final assembly be careful to line up edges as close as possible for best fit. You will understand this once you put one together without the tape and move the boards to align. This important alignment step will contribute to the final look of the cubes. Obviously, it is very difficult/impossible to make corrections once the mighty 3M tape sticks to other surface."
