Pretty easy to assemble, light weight. The outside panels are heavy off white paper and are clipped on and are removable. You could remove the panels, spray paint them any color or draw or paint on them, then reinstall if you were so inclined. They sell aluminum metal panels but they cost more than the cube.

The body is some kind of black plastic made from bamboo. The back panel is the same heavy board as the sides. You add little metal pins to holes in the top then stack another unit on top, pins locking the 2 together. The door hinges are heavy plastic, not sure how long they will hold up. Comes with clips to fasten units together horizontally, but I could not get them to stay on, definitely will not stay on if using doors, prevents doors from opening. I just used black 5/8" drywall screws horizontal to hold units together.
You can find these also at Brookstone or Brookstone on ebay. They were the cheapest when I bought.
I had just a few little parts missing on one order and one defective door. Yubecube customer service was great. I emailed them and they sent out replacements. Did not even ask for proof of purchase.
They are not cheap but there is nothing close out there as far as modular units. Unless you go with the fake wood cubes which are heavy and not as cool looking.
