Beware Assembly More Difficult Than It LooksDiana C.The assembly was NOT as easy as the video shows it to be. Some of my EKETS are cracked or chipped because of how many times we had to disassemble to reassemble. They look gorgeous hung up but it was a pain to assemble.3
Great addition for any roomSamanthaJust love these single cubes that you can arrange in any pattern and color college you desire. The blue went great with our new theme for our living room and perfect size for books, collectibles and plants !5
Absolutely best night standANANDAAbsolutely best night stand5
okayGabyeasy to build but I never got the rail to mount it on the wall, despite it saying that it comes include, it didn't. like what was the point of me paying like $5 extra for this wall mounting unit if it didn't come with the rail to mount it.3
Love it!!Julia M.From some of the reviews you can tell who did not read the instructions as this thing is super easy to put together but only if you follow the instructions. If you put it together in the wrong order it will not go in the way it supposed to. I am using mine as floating shelves and they look great on the wall5
I could not understand howNadaI could not understand how to pit it together, muss less how it attaches to the wall!1

Love this!AmandaThis is a great display box! Used it with the glass door and without. Very easy to put together5
Versatile cubbiesRhejieWe installed 3 above my daughter's desk for books and mini stereo system, and another 3 on a wall to display items. They look great! There was some difficulty putting the fourth side attached as it is very snug and needed brute force/rubber mallet.4

Difficult to put together and didnt Include screwsChandraLI bought this about a month ago and out of the huge order I placed this was easily the most difficult product to put together. The boxes require that you beat on them (leaving dents) with a hammer to make sure you can get all four corners in and even then it is challenging. On top of that after we *finally* got the boxes together we starting putting the wall mounts on and found that they didn’t include the screws you need to mount it to the wall. Like what’s the point then? I had to go to Home Depot to buy the screws where I could have just bought everything I needed for the wall mount and ignored buying this from ikea. Honestly the worst experience I’ve ever had putting together ikea furniture, usually it takes 15-20 minutes it’s easy and it looks great but not this time. I would never buy this again1
Love itKBMartinezBought it about a month ago and love how it looks in our son's room. More colors would be even better!!5
SakihuI love how this looks and mounts so easily!5
Assembly is quick and easyWooHoo00Just wanted to make a review addressing all the one star reviews. This box is super simple to build. If you can slide pieces together, you can build this box. It does require some common building sense. Rubber mallet is helpful but not necessary, as you can just use your weight to get the pieces to slide together. I've bought 12 of these, and only had one issue where one of the plastic connectors on a panel was not fully driven in, few wacks of the rubber mallet took care of it.5
Just what I envisionedRay001I bought three of these in different colors to use near a small desk. I love the way that they turned out. Fairly simple to put together. I hung on the wall and that too was simple. But WARNING - follow the directions exactly in order!! If you do not the box will not fit together and You cannot undo the mistake. I broke one box that way5
frustrating assemblyAbsolute FrustrationEach box has 5 pieces. Four of the pieces go together within seconds. It is the last side that is the issue. The sides come with 3 embedded plastic connectors that fit into a corresponding keyhole on the adjacent side. The side is then shoved into place with the connector leaving the keyhole and sliding down into a narrower opening. So the fifth piece has to have the 6 connectors lined up perfectly on each side so that the connectors can slide down into the narrower holes. Sounds easy but it is not! The problem is that the backerboard is shifting as well as the other 3 sides. I wound up using screws to set the fifth piece. I have put a lot of Ikea furniture together as well as my Ikea kitchen cabinets. NEVER have I run into a situation where I could not assemble based on the directions and with the Ikea hardware. Did Ikea run any focus groups to see how people fare when assembling these boxes? The boxes look great when assembled. I do think they need a redesign and the price point for this basic box should be $15, not $20.2
Difficult to buildBellaGI bought 3 units, 2 light gray and 1 dark gray. Each piece was so difficult to put together. After finishing both light gray ones (with my husband's help), the dark gray one was next. My husband struggled so much that one of the side's plastic screws (both) completely broke off...... now we are struggling to just finish it. Horrible building design!!!!!!1
