Way Basics Eco Storage Triple Cube Plus

My first time writing a review, positive or negative, for anything. The idea behind this company seems great. I'm all for eco-friendly. Package arrived promptly, reasonably priced, etc... You can't assemble a shelving unit with nothing but adhesive strips, unless you're planning on holding pillows. I was directed to this product after typing in "record shelving" in the search bar. Just wanted to stop any other vinyl enthusiast from making the same mistake. I came home today to find about 150 records in various states of ruin on the floor next to the remains of the crumbled "way basic" shelving unit. To sum up, if it seems to good to be true (easy assembly! cheap! eco-friendly!), it probably is. I've seen children construct sturdier structures with scotch tape and cardboard, which is essentially what this is. Would have given a half star if available.

I needed a cheap inexpensive shelf to put under a window, next to my desk. Ordered the product, and when it came in, I was immediately displeased. I understand its supposed to be cheap and light; but I did not expect how cheap and light it really was. I almost sent it back there. (I should have). Instead, I decided to have some faith in engineering and try it out. The tape does stick well, but the binding strength is far greater than the internal strength of the paper box. So while it sticks impressively well, it was very easy to tear off a section of finish from the adhesive tape. The paper box can't hold the strength of the tape. Another thing is the very very poor dowels given for assembly. They are also very lightweight paper product dowels, you can deform between two fingers.

Assembly is quite easy, however the instructions do not point out that there is already tape on one side of each square... I nearly did it myself before I caught it and I can see many people assembling the box before realizing that there are tape stripes that must end up one specific direction. If you see it you can catch it. But the instructions make no mention of it.

Finally the thing is assembled. I put four casters on it, so it can move and float. It looks pretty good and I am happy. Put on about 1/3 of the load of books that it will eventually have. Three days later, I come into the room and the whole thing is in pieces on the floor. Still with the limited 1/3 of books I was planning to put on it. It had just fallen apart in the night. Now what?

Do yourself a favor and buy a particle board version of the same thing with real screws. May cost few $$ more, but for the limitations, 50-60$ is way too expensive.

I have been looking for something to help keep the kids toys organized and accessible. I thought this would work out great. Unfortunately, the "super strong adhesive" doesn't hold up to normal use. You can't put anything heavy in it or on it. It's come apart so many times I've had to wrap the entire thing with heavy duty masking tape so I can continue to use it while I continue my search for a good toy storage system. Don't waste your money on this shelf unit.

I will be going away to college soon and I was looking for some simple but attractive shelving options. These are it! Assembly was VERY easy and it took me less than fifteen minutes to put it together. They seem sturdy as they can hold up to my massive manga and book collections. I plan on ordering more of these. One of the nicest features is that you can choose and build these shelves to fit in the space that you need to fill. They are easy to customize by putting them together to suit your taste. The different color choices are great too! I highly recommend these shelves. They look great, they are easy and fast to put together, they are reasonably priced, they are sturdy, and they help the environment. What more could a person ask for?
