Follow the plan. Easy!Anonymous reviewerI bought 9. I made the mistake of deviating from instructions at the start and found myself in a frustrating pickle! Have patience. Stick to guidance! Straightforward to put together. Love how quickly these transformed my space. Buildable storage solution. Looks great5

Critical Design Flaws - Should have bought a Kallax.Anonymous reviewerBought these as an upgrade from another 2x2 Kallax shelf, at around triple the price (for 4 cubes) we expected better quality. The units have thicker walls, back boards, and a better selection of colours, as well as more versatility... However, when constructing these the tool-less build was a nightmare once it came to attaching the top piece in what I assume is design negligence or poor quality control, the back board is too large so it stops the top piece for coming into place. We cut down the back board and hammered the units together to brute force the bad tolerances. This has left the units damaged and slightly uneven. In the end they look nice but they took over an hour to construct. 3 out of the 4 units didn't go together without modification or harsh persuasion.
The sloppiness of Eket is a complacent abuse of Ikea's very positive reputation for effective budget furniture. I will never make the mistake of shopping their with blind confidence again.2
Brilliant itemAnonymous reviewerBought this item to finish my living room as I have the full set and a three piece unit also5
Great cubeAnonymous reviewerEasy enough to put together and looks great - love the different colours. Colour accurate to the website. Worth the money5
Not the same quality ofAnonymous reviewerNot the same quality of the Kallax cube but needed smaller for my project good value for money and easy assemble won’t hold as much weight as I thought.4
Lovely but hard workAnonymous reviewerI have a couple of these in various arrangements, but never before have I had to jump and stamp on an item to get the sides to slot together. How I've not damaged myself or one of the units I've no idea.
The units are great storage though especially if you are using them with box inserts. A suggestion for the development team is to make a shelf for these units. I've put ornaments on some of mine and they look lost within the internal height of the unit. A shelf (possibly in glass) would mean I could double stack.4
Serious production and manufacturing defectsAnonymous reviewerGenerally speaking, IKEA products may have some acceptable deviations in dimensions. However, the deviation of the product I received was so large that it was unimaginable that this could be a sellable item. The last board cannot be installed no matter what, and it cannot be locked with the other three boards. I thought using a hammer could solve the problem, but even after the surface was damaged, it still couldn't be locked, which means I can't return it now. I have purchased a lot of IKEA products, and the quality defect of this particular item is truly shocking.1
OK once builtAnonymous reviewerThe video shows the woman just clicking the sides into place. 3 sides, fine, the last side with the back in place required a lump hammer.3
Worst product ever!Anonymous reviewerI didn't read the reviews because this is an IKEA product and I had never ever before been disappointed with IKEA. However, this is a very bad product. The video is not even close to the reality, it does not show that the product needs a hammer. It takes a lot of strength and it cannot be done without a hammer. Unfortunately, I used a hammer and not a rubber mallet so one side got chipped. Whose fault is it really though? I managed to assemble two of them in more than an hour each, for the third one I cannot align the fourth side for the life of me. I haven't mounted them on the wall yet, I'm afraid this will be further disappointment. I can't believe this is an IKEA product. 1
Great if you don’t want the back panel inAnonymous reviewerThere’s no reasonable way of getting the back panel in as if it’s in place it’s impossible to click the last side in place. Otherwise great!3
Worst Product ever!!!Anonymous reviewerIf I had the option to give 0 stars I would!! This is the worst product ever with no ease to assemble at all! Pushing the pieces together does absolutely nothing so had to used a hammer to try and slot in. Furthermore, trying to slot the pieces is so difficult that I ended up cutting myself...honestly not happy at all!1
Avoid..Buy Kallax insteadAnonymous reviewerHonestly one of the worst products I have ever purchased. Despite following the instructions to the letter, they are the most fiddly and impossible things to put together thanks to the built in peg things .
They are also completely unforgiving should you need to undo any mistakes you make. They are very flimsy and poorly made. Avoid.1
Simple and functional boxAnonymous reviewerSimple and functional box5
Good feel but difficult to assembleAnonymous reviewerFound the feel in store and at home good but very hard to snap the last joint together. Not sure if it's a manufacturing issue.3
