Assembly & Design

Pros:

  • "Super easy to put together; the bottom makes them sturdy."
  • "They fit perfectly inside my Amazon Basics 6 cube rack."
  • "These seem to be as sturdy as the ones I replaced & they look good."
  • "Love the sturdiness + the added organization it brings to our home."
  • "Good basic storage cubes. Good construction that holds shape. Not floppy at all."
  • "The assembly of these storage cubes couldn't be simpler. They pop open and fold flat with ease, making them convenient to use and store."
  • "They are very easy to assemble and don’t take up any time, simply unfold them. I love them!"

Cons:

  • "Only one side has a handle."
  • "Note: each cube only has one handle, there is not another handle on the opposing side."
  • "Only one handle. No extra bottom to reinforce it from collapsing."
  • "The handles are thin, so be careful if you put heavy items inside the cubes, and use them to lift the bin."
  • "All 6 storage cubes were crammed so tightly into a too small box from the manufacturer that all 6 handles are hopelessly crushed and wrinkled."
  • "The handle also looks sorta cheap."
  • "I received boxes today and so far I’m not impressed. Also I say false advertisement. There are not 2 handles on each box and an 8 1/2 X 11 file folder does not fit so dimensions are off."

Quality & Durability

Pros:

  • "They are sturdy and hold a lot. Great quality for the price."
  • "These were exactly what I wanted! Closets got a nice refresh and now I use the extra ones as staging pieces in clients closets for organizational purposes."
  • "I've been using my first set for well over a year with no issues."
  • "They're pretty sturdy too."
  • "They’re durable, sturdy, great for even kids who can be a bit rough on things!"
  • "They are strong enough for many things like toys or shoes but not for bowling balls."
  • "They are built with great quality and have been holding up very well, I love the selection of colors as well."

Cons:

  • "Would I use them for heavy items or things I need to access often? No."
  • "These started out initially as being a fantastic purchase, but after having them awhile many of the cubes are falling apart."
  • "Also they are flimsy when compared to Ikea boxes. They are about 30% of the quality of ikea's product."
  • "These ones fell apart pretty quickly."
  • "When you stuff them at or more than capacity they do not hold their shape well."
  • "All of them are in this shape - literally disintegrated - and we had to get rid of them."
  • "I have had these cubes for about four months and I need to replace them."

Price & Value

Pros:

  • "Much better price here on Amazon than I’ve seen in stores."
  • "Plus they do not cost much at all. I say that is a win win!"
  • "Considering you're getting six of these for about $2.80 each, they are a good deal."
  • "These are 6 cubes and it's cheaper than just one at Ikea."
  • "As for the price... this just seals the deal, not only are they better quality, but they are less than half the cost of the branded ones!!!"
  • "Will probably buy more because they are so cheap."
  • "I paid roughly $17 for a pack of six bins."

Cons:

  • "They’re alright feel a little on the cheap side but they work and they’ve held up pretty good, no rips or signs of wearing yet."
  • "I find it hard to recommend these for the £20 I purchased 6 of these for."
  • "In the grand scheme of things, $5 storage cubes are pretty much everywhere with dozens of brands so really just pick the cheapest and go ham or not, but either way these are fine."
  • "They are cheap and with that comes cheaply made in this case."
  • "These good for the price but Target has amazing ones that I switched to. The Target ones are more expensive, but I use them everyday and have used them in like 3 moves at this point for which they work great!"
  • "I'm usually down to save a dollar but don't buy these."
  • "So many times getting a set of quality fabric storage cubes like this costs more than the $17.99 they’re charging for 6 of them."

Size & Fit

Pros:

  • "They're the perfect size to hold my craft projects and, in addition? I can just pull the tote out of my store unit when I'm working on a project and cleanup is a breeze when I'm done!"
  • "They’re a great size. They hold a lot. They fit in cubbies and on shelves perfectly."
  • "Perfect fit for Mainstays brand cube storage shelves!"
  • "The sizes were true to size! I love how simple and it is to pop these open and throw the kiddos toys in them!"
  • "They are 13x13 so they can fit A LOT!!! A soft, neutral beige color, can blend into any setting."
  • "The 13x13x13 fit my better homes & garden cube storage from Walmart, perfectly."
  • "Fits perfectly. Dimensions are exactly as stated."

Cons:

  • "These are considerably smaller then most standard cubes in home furniture."
  • "Does not fit into Amazon Basics square shelving. Too small."
  • "I like them, only like one inch too tall for under my bed lmao but I kind of placed them under so it’s fine lmao."
  • "They're actually closer to 13.5 inches and don't fit in the storage shelf I bought them for."
  • "Unfortunately they are too small for the shelves I purchased."
  • "Size of cube is not enough to store folded tee shirt without wrinkles."
  • "They were a bit smaller than expected."

Appearance & Style

Pros:

  • "Love these little cubes!"
  • "I finally found a way to display plants in the house without having to buy $1000 worth of pots."
  • "The neutral color blends in with our house in every room."
  • "I love the shade of blue they are."
  • "The labels have a simple but pretty design."
  • "They have a nice look to them."
  • "I love them because they're stylish."

Cons:

  • "The beige does show dirt quickly and can't really be cleaned."
  • "They look a little cheap, they are very white, a little thin, but very usable."
  • "The color is not really beige. More gray than beige."
  • "I guess it’s a production problem but the stripes aren’t all uniform."
  • "They look great just don’t feel that great."
  • "Although they’re not the sturdiest they look fabulous!"
  • "Just aesthetically this is bothersome to me."

Functionality & Usability

Pros:

  • "They're have handles on the front of each one so I can easily, pull them out and look though them."
  • "Works great as clothing drawers if you roll your clothes up and set them upright."
  • "They are versatile and good for organizing and storing a variety of items."
  • "They're very sturdy. I use them in place of a dresser so they get handled quite a bit but they're holding up great."
  • "They seem really sturdy and will be great for use in the garage, attic, or even the bedroom or office."
  • "They are 13x13 so they can fit A LOT!!! A soft, neutral beige color, can blend into any setting."
