The worst thing to assemble MythiliI don’t know how this could pass QC, in fact it shouldn’t even pass basic CAD tolerance check because the last piece is impossible to slot in after adding the backplate. If anyone is reading this which I am sure they are not, you please tell me how step 5 is possible for a human. You must be kidding. Total waste is time. We never buy IKEA anymore for this reason. 0 star.
I wish it came in blackLauraI like that the BESTA planner allows mixing with the EKET, but it's really annoying that it doesn't come in black like the BESTA and the KALLAX do. What's also really annoying is that the room planning tools aren't integrated with the storage planning tools. Even keeping all the storage planners as their own things I would like to be able to input the design code into the room planner so I can see how it looks IN THE ROOM, especially since the storage planners don't even allow for doors or windows or unusually shaped rooms
Cheap LP storage…kindaChrisBought these to store my record collection as I didn’t like the chunk look of the Kallax. In ordered 7 of these and had no problem assembling them. Really don’t understand the people who find these difficult. Key is setting the pieces upright on the floor and pushing straight down to engage the locking pins.
My one issue with these is that the inside will hold 90% of my records but there are some which are a bit too tall so the records have to be at a slight angle to fit in.
Compromised Design DarnayI bought this in spite of the complaints about building it, because I liked how it looked and I also wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Well they were right, building this product was not the enjoyable experience I'm used to. I think the problem is that the cardboard backing piece needed to mount the Eket to the wall literally prevents you from sliding the last panel into place. I really think the cardboard backing and mounting functionality was an afterthought for legal reasons and unfortunately this product went to market before they truly had it figured out. Luckily for me it's pretty low profile and mounting wasn't necessary, so I was able to omit the cardboard backing and the last piece slipped into place just fine. Not the clever, thoughtful design Ikea is known for though, I hope they're planning a 2.0 version sooner than later.
True Step CubesAnonymous reviewerThese are similar to cubo cubes I purchased roughly 18 years ago.
The cubes allow you to configure your cabinets as you want - you are not stuck with the configuration the manufacturer chooses.
They are a bit of challenge to assemble. *IF* you follow the directions and have a rubber mallet, it is doable. Looking forward to using these in more spaces.
Production description didn't matchPriyankaColor is very different than shown on the Website
Hard to assemble PrincessDoes not fit correctly. You really have to force it and it’s frustrating. Something that should only take a few minutes to build ended up taking longer. Will be returning this product
Nightmare to put togetherKrassiI am very handy when it comes to assemble any furniture but this cube is just junk. I do not recommend this cube.
These are great qualityHueThe white oak effect matches my LVP floors. They are easy to put together. Line it up so it’s straight, and simply use a mallet or hammer to tap it in place. I just used a hammer and it didn’t damage the finish at all. If it lines up nicely before you tap it in, it will line up when it’s assembled. They slide right in; so don’t force it. Obviously put them together in the right order based on instructions
AvoidJasonGreat in theory, but oddly difficult to assemble.
Just rightDeniseFirst time buy from IKEA. We don't have a local store, but do have a local delivery spot. It worked great. I ordered 6 boxes in yellow. The color is great. Packaging was protective, and no adhesive tape! I was able to carefully open the cardboard boxes to preserve them as they will make nice temporary storage for odd sized items.The EKET cabinets are substantial in weight and sturdy. My first assembly was a learning experience, as I inadvertently tried it out of correct sequence. Once I amended my procedure per the directions, they were easy to assemble. Everything fit fine, and the finished product does not wobble or sway. Very happy with this purchase and shipping procedure.
AwfulSamuelThis is a simple design that is frustrating to assemble. I do not recommend this product. I give it a D-
Lovely color AllisonWe mounted these next both sides of our bed for elevated storage space. We paired them with the cream colored Eket Wall-mounted storage combination, with 2 drawers. The olive color is a nice touch. We do recommend this product and would purchase again in the future.
Hard to assemble KarenThe new design on pegs and holes to build these are easy and fast for the first 3 sides then impossible to line up the last panel with the pegs and back panel 😭
as exxpectedRootNice and clean lines
Follow the directions and read the hints from commenters! BethFess up. How many of you 1-star reviewers and complainers didn’t first look carefully at the pieces, orient them correctly and read the directions?! No, it’s not intuitive. But it took my husband about 4 minutes to put together after doing the anbove annd reading comments with hints about piece number 1. It’s the key to cube nirvana.
Do not muscle in thinking it’s obvious.
One star off what’s a 5-star piece because this simple cube flabbergasted so many people. Ikea, you have to know your audience.
I’m using the cube to hold a router and modem plus a couple cords/bricks in my office. We added a wide hole in the back for cords. Almost left the back off but figured it was good for stability.
JunkCraigVery poor quality, like cardboard. Poor design also makes proper assembly impossible.
IKEA please sort the assembly fault out!HannahLovely when put together but there's a design flaw in the assembly. The back of the box is meant to slide far enough in that it doesn't impede side 4 when you keyhole slot it into place. It does impede it. The side goes on just fine when the back is out but sticks on the back when it's in. The back is about 1/4 inch too big.
I eventually managed to assemble these by building the boxes first and bashing the backs in (damaging them slightly in the process). The back is slightly bendy so this eventually worked.
nice designMarcwell constructed, easy to put together.
Great productKarenGreat product. Assembly instructions could be improved with words.

What is constructed board?
We use constructed boards when manufacturing many of our pieces of furniture, such as tables and wardrobes. They are light yet still stable and strong. Each board has a frame made of chipboard, fiberboard or solid wood, while the inside is a honeycomb filling structure made of mostly recycled paper, which is extra durable thanks to its special construction. The board is then covered with a protective paint, foil or veneer depending on the style wanted.
