A simple unit can be enough storage for a limited space or the foundation for a larger storage solution if your needs change.
You can choose to place the cabinet on the floor or mount it on the wall to free up floor space.
Assembly is quick and easy, thanks to the wedge dowel that clicks into the pre-drilled holes.

Easy to assemble--but a bit tricky to finishFrankA great asset for storing larger items. But, be sure to follow instructions--when you get to that last piece. you'll be glad you did!
Follow directions carefully to avoid common problem.JANE J.I have bought several of these and it was very easy to assemble. If it didn’t slide together, I just used a mallet and it went together just fine.
* I have seen several reviews that said they had trouble putting the last piece in place because the back panel was too long. I ran into this problem too and realized that it was because I hadn’t followed the directions correctly. It is easy to miss but the first side you start with is supposed to have a 1 on it. It is easy to miss! It is really important however, because the side with a 1 on it has a deeper groove so the back piece can slide down so you can slide the last piece in. I was able to slide the pieces apart so I could redo it and it worked just like it’s supposed.
Easy to assemble.JuneEasy to assemble.
Frustrated!Carol L.Just bought this unit today and was excited to put it together. Talk about frustrating! Bad instructions and I couldn't get it assembled with the back panel in place. Once you align the plastic screws on 3 sides and slide in the back panel it is impossible to get the screws on the 4th side lined up AND in line with the back panel! Dinged it up a bit with my effort. Hardest piece from Ikea that I've ever tried to assemble. So disappointed!
Issues with assemblyDiane Z.Hi all, bought two for now, serves it's purpose for me, looks nice as storage sitting on a closet shelf, flexible to move, allowing for something on top and a pullout bin inside. Gave 3 stars because assembly with back panel seems impossible. Did not need back panel for closet storage and assembled without back. Sides which slide together must be hammered (to slide). Possibly can enlarge the wood holes so will slide easily (did not try). Would recommend for closet storage on shelving.
Ordered 2 but one was faultyBlake B.So I ordered 2 of these and one had the thin back wood too long, making it literally impossible to assemble, so I ended up just cutting away at the edges, and eventually just shortening one side by about 1-2mm or so. After that it was perfect assembly. Took about 45min to do that one, but the second one wasn't faulty and only took about 5min. The act of "pushing" the pieces together however was not the case. The use of a hammer IS required to assemble.
Almost impossible to buildMiriam S.The assembly process almost took me down. Down to a sad, dark, dark place. In lieu of regular screws, it is necessary to wedge into place plastic screws that required maximum force to set into place — including sitting on it, jumping on it with the full force of a grown adult, and ultimately banging it at full intensity and speed with a hammer, which admittedly provided an outlet for the pent up frustration. Do not buy this unless you are ready to face the ultimate challenge
Cute, but hardware is visibleJoanneInstallation hardware was not included, and is visible once installed. I plan on getting some paper to put in the back of the squares to hide the hardware, but wish it was just a different kind. For the price, I think the hardware should have been included.
Difficult to assembleAriel Y.I read the reviews and the difficult the cabinet is to assemble but I bought it anyway, which I don't completely regret because I live the design, but I'll definitely have to get a real rabbit person to assist. The directions for mounting the shelf are especially vague.
Great add-on. Easy to assembleLizianeGreat add-on. Easy to assemble with other eket combinations.
Eket cubeJohnGenerally a good product, but assembly requires a rubber mallet and pad to get things to actually align. Assembly instructions require very careful attention to exact assembly order and to which part is which. If you mount the legs, you must drill pilot holes. The screws will not self-tap. Just be careful not to drill all the way through base.
Excellent itemSANDRAExcellent item
Overall nice, do need to watch fitKEVINWe have purchased these twice, first when they came out and recently. First overall nice, but assembled version of second set was off a couple millimeters from previous (taller). Also the original base feet, which had a horizontal wood piece between let’s no longer available. So our legs do not match.
Perfect solution!LeesaMy so. Needed a small shelf to put his small stereo receiver in and this worked great. We cut a small hole I. The back for the cords and attached a small laminate board to the top with command strips to set his turntable on. Perfect solution!
Excellent storage option!MELISSAFunctional, attractive, organizational tool. I love the EKET series!
Love it my folders fit,ElizabethLove it my folders fit, and I have my printer on top.
Not consistent in looks and unstableNoy B.I got 6 to build a 3x2 or stairs like design. Each cube is slightly different than the other and the parts to attach them together barely does anything and it vents at the front. I don’t recommend. Way too expensive for the what you get
WonderfulJanI have some other cubes and wanted another one. This was just perfect for my room.
Useful in every space.VictoriaIKEA’s little boxes, one called the EKET,
are strong, attractive in several colors, are great in every room, including the garage.
They can be attached to each other to create various shapes, or be used simply alone or stacked.
Would not recommend for vinyl storage with outer sleevesNATALIE P.I bought this based on other reviews stating they used this for vinyl storage. If you archive your vinyl in outer sleeves, then I would not recommend this unit. Bare vinyl covers just barely clear the opening and not all of my vinyl covers fit. I previously bought the 4 cube EKET and that works perfectly. About a 1/2 inch of clearance above vinyl covers giving plenty of extra room. I didn't have enough room for another 4 cube EKET, so I went for 2 single cubes and these do not have the same interior dimensions. I knew this going in, but since others were using it for vinyl, I figured I would be good. I'll make due with it because I need the extra storage, but if you have the space, definitely go for the 4 cube unit.
