Excellent Fit With Our DecorAnnThe white Kuggis box fits nicely with our decor. We have dark black/brown furniture items and white accessories from IKEA. Everything co-ordinates well. The assembly is fairly easy. the securing snap can be a weak point. We purchased 4 Kuggis and 1 of them had securing snaps that cracked. We had it replaced and it was fine. The bottom of the box snaps easily in place. 3 of the 4 were nicely snug. The 4th one is about 1 mm off and not as snug. It still works well though. We have many other Kuggis box sizes and they are fairly sturdy. This is our first experience with an assembled Kuggis so we don't know how sturdy it will be until we use it some more. On the whole, it seems nice enough.4
PERFECT BOX!HannahIt is the perfect bin. So spacious and sturdy. The bad reviews are just from Americans…. If you put the side where you’re supposed to slide the pins into place on your thighs so you can oh so slightly make the plastic curve, it slides into place easy. I’ve set up 6+ of these bins. However, if you cannot put them together, return them and perhaps consider reflecting on your intelligence.5
Design FlawMichelleBeautiful looking boxes in store, but impossible to put together. It will not click together, one clip too many. Bought a Kallex unit with it, will return it all when I have time to drive 2 hours to the nearest store.1
Poor qualityAnonymous reviewerLocking snap plastic pieces have tendency to break very easily. Ikea seems to have aggressively downgraded the quality of their parts. Very disappointing1
DOES NOT FIT EKET, FIX YOUR RECOMMENDATION PAGELucyKUGGIS was recommended by Ikea for EKET cube storage shelf. Placing an order online, I had to order two. I already have the EKET on my wall and these would be perfect. NO! They are too big! $57 plus shipping and they won't work!! Very disappointed :(1
Safe storagePamelaEasy to assemble and I need to buy more5
Doesn’t fit EketDanSold as an accessory for Eket cube. It doesn’t fit. Frustrated that I got 2 of them :(1
Very difficult to assemble since design change. Gave up & going to returnAnjolaoluwaFor this being literally a box, it took way too long to try to assemble. I bought two, will definitely return my unopened one and see how it goes with the one I attempted assembling. It is very difficult to get it to snap together bc the final piece to click in on each "hinge" blocks the preceding 4 notches from lining up. I managed to get three walls together but had to give up on the 4th because it required getting 8 notches to line up at once and of course, the bottom two are obstructed. Now I'm seeing reviews of people having similar issues - did not think to check reviews of a box haha.
Also re: design change mention. I looked up a youtube video about how to assemble this because I figured there was probably something simple I was missing. In that video, i noticed there were previously 3 notches to slide into, this new design has 4. Not necessarily the issue, but shows that something has changed.
Looks great, would have loved if it had worked out.2
Terrible designCaitlini didn't expect these simple boxes to need assembly, but they come in five pieces and I was quite worried some of the connectors were going to snap while assembling. One of the assembled boxes fell from my couch onto a carpet and one side of the connectors exploded off the box... Now the others are in use I can see how impractical they are - when grabbing the box from the bottom, this side pushes up through the box because there are only tiny angled interior pieces holding that in place. You've got to open the box and try to shuffle the bottom back in to place when this happens. Ridiculous - they should just be two solid pieces.1
Kuggis boxLaurieWe could not put this box together, we put lots of ikea furniture together but not this box1
Fragile, pricey. looks good though. KevinHigh price, brittle plastic. The little clips that hold the thing together snaps easily during assembly.
The reason I give it 2 stars is because it’s still a good storage container. 2
very sturdyLaraWe use these boxes to store samples of our building materials, which can be heavy. The box is very sturdy and looks great.5
Great but no lid option MarianneLove the boxes but wish that there was an option not to have the lid. They are not necessary in my application so are getting tossed out. Make it similar to the other boxes that are available 4
Please sell lids separatelyMelissaHello! I have several of these boxes and love them but I bought them before lids were included. As others have suggested here, it would be great if IKEA could sell the lids separately. Thank you!5
Lovely designed storage boxBarbaraThis box is useful to hold some of my small appliances. Being easy to assemble is a plus. A nice purchase!5
Perfect!TraciEasy to assemble and perfect storage box. 5
Sell separate lidsKarenI have the older version, no lids included at that time. Hope they sell separate lids for that.3
Does not fit inside EketVictoriaThis is advertised as an accessory for the Eket, however it does not fit. Can not find anything that fits perfectly into the Eket cube. Very frustrating! 1
Easy to assemble, easy to breakAdrianneThese were super easy to put together, however, 3 pieces broke when assembling. It doesn’t change the look or function but for the price, it shouldn’t have pieces that break that easy.3
Not sturdy enough for heavy loadAnonymous reviewerThe box was not completely sealed. The bottom piece was locked with a few small clicks making it flimsy. There are gaps at the bottom. It would be better if the box comes in a ready made unit like the other Kuggis series.2
