"The cubes are totally awesome. I think I've bought around 30 of them already and replaced Wayfair I had, plus using them for storage. This is a breakthrough technology that allows you to have the same strength with more than 2x lighter materials. You should check their website. If used properly, a 200 lbs person can stand on them. I am stacking them for bookshelves in 4 rows and have no problem with 4 rows fully stuffed with heavy books. Comments like ""it feels too cheap so I wouldn't trust to put any weight on them"" are pathetic. All I can think is ""I find your lack of faith disturbing"" (Darth Vader's quote) :)Pros:1. Extremely light. No furniture I know even remotely matches the lightness of these cubes.2. Portable. You can move them around very easily and stack the way you want. I'll move soon and I am thinking of just packing each cube in a cardboard box, without taking my stuff out of cubes. That's my plan and there's no reason to believe it won't work out.3. Look cool. White.4. The height of ""Plus"" cubes is just right to comfortably hold A4/Letter-size file folders. The height of ""normal"" ones is more appropriate for shorter books.5. Flexibility. You can buy as many as you want, and slowly add more.Cons:6. Building them takes time. Would take me about an hour to build 4-5 cubes (taking into account time needed to take the packaging to recycling). Building wooden furniture with screws is faster if you're good at it, and building these cannot be too fast just because you need to line everything up very slowly and carefully, and you need time to carefully remove protector from the 3M tape, etc.7. If you were not careful at building time, you've wasted [$], there's no way to re-do. I've wasted none and built around 30 of them, but I slightly misaligned one or two cubes (maybe a millimeter or two) and I can easily see how it can be totally screwed up if you're not careful.8. 1 out of 30 cubes came with a defect in holes - a hole was filled. I used sharp scissors blade to fix it. I think it's still high enough quality, but if you get unlucky with 1 out of 30, sorry :)9. It's critically important to use them upright, and not on sides (I can see how they can break if used on sides) and it's critically important to hold them from the bottom (from under the cube) when moving them around.Overall, it's well worth [$], although I wouldn't buy them if they were more expensive, and I'd buy more of them if they were cheaper.""..."
