Vida Designs Durham Cube Bookcase Storage Organiser Living Room Bookshelf Home Office Furniture (9 Cube, Oak)

I read other reviews that said the unit isn't great and it needs 2 people to assemble. As a 59 year old woman, who also has muscle weakness, I thought I would try by myself before enlisting my son to do it. It took me less than an hour, it is a bit fiddly and I did adapt the assembly a bit, but it all came together ok 👍🏻. Nice little storage unit, obviously it won't last forever, but it's fit for purpose.

Was a little tricky to put together as you put the dowels in first for all pieces and then screw at the end , it kept coming apart which was frustrating but quick to do really. Is a little taller than I wanted , I wanted it to fit next to existing cube unit but it's taller and doesn't looks quite right

It's flimsy once putting together, that is easy too do, must fastnet to a solid structure, like a wall. Chipboard thing, put only light stuff on it, wouldn't recommend it buying again.

This is the flimsiest, cheap looking (not cheap) unit that we have ever bought. Assembly - instructions are good. Dowels are loose in dowel holes. The shelves are so thin (about 12mm) that when you nail the back on they split unless you are right in the middle ( I'm an engineer and I split one of mine!!!). There is nothing to keep the front of the shelves against the sides (see 1st photo) You get 8 thin circles of stick on covers to go over the screws, they are so thin that they just sink into the screw holes. The back is nailed on, pic 2 ( I thought that all backs fitted into grooves these days for looks and strength!) but is so thin that that it won't last if heavy things are pushed against it. Before you say it, I deliberatly put the back boards on inside out (pic 2) as one side is just plain hardboard and you can see the backof the unit as it is on the stair landing and you can see it as you come up the stairs, so pretty side out!

When putting together I advise that you glue the dowels into the holes in the white wood first because the holes in the inner plywood are too long and they kept going too far in. Also I think glue would have helped make this a little more sturdy.

This looks great, great quality, easy to build, sturdy, useful in so many ways, not flimsy & perfect size, that good I've ordered another one!!

Easy to assemble, great product. Just what I needed!I didn’t use the backboard out of choice.

Was pretty simple to put together, bit flimsy but thought I'd read they they take 30 x 30 cm boxes, they don't as cubbys are odd size of 30 x 29!! So the boxes I got stuck out! Will now probably remove the back panels so the boxes can be pushed back a bit and try and find another way of stabilising it!
