Mavivegue Bookcase, 18-Cube Extra Large Book Shelf, DIY Cube Storage Organizer for Bedroom, Living Room, Home Office - Black

Our niece lives abroad most of the year and stays with us in the summers. While she's definitely a minimalist, she still needed space to organize her things while here. I needed something cost-effective and functional -- quickly. I found these cubes and thought, for the price, I'd give them a shot. The cloth material seems like it will be too weak and too flimsy when you take it out of the packaging. However, once it is in place, it becomes taut and sturdy. I struggled with the instructions at first -- but that really was a "me" thing -- and once I got the understanding of the set up, the instructions were easy to follow. You can re-organize the cubes in multiple ways and essentially create more space throughout your room. Everything felt flimsy initially, but once constructed, the unit is very stable. I don't recall if they have shelving in any other color but black. I'd probably still choose black for that room. This setup gave her space to organize and sort her clothing. I probably wouldn't place things heavy, like books, on any of the upper shelves. The bottom shelves may be able to handle it. Definitely a good buy for what I needed.

I recently bought the black 5-tier, 18-cube Mavivegue bookcase, and I’m really happy with it. Putting it together was easier than I thought. Each cube fits together well, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I also like how simple it is to take apart and set up again. I recently moved and had no trouble taking it apart and rebuilding it in a new layout, which shows the design is well thought out. The metal tubes and plastic connectors fit snugly, so the whole bookcase feels sturdy once it’s assembled. Here’s a quick tip: Be careful with the small plastic hammer that comes in the kit. If you hit the uncovered metal tubes too hard, they may bend slightly, making them more difficult to fit into the connector holes. Using the plastic covers when tapping things into place helps prevent that. For the price, this bookcase is a great value, especially considering the amount of storage it offers. The 18 cubes hold almost half of my large book collection. One 18-cube bookshelf holds around 350 books. The books in my photo aren’t alphabetized yet; I just stacked them quickly to see if I’d need one or two more units for the rest of my collection. The cubes can hold a substantial amount of weight, and their modular design makes it easy to adjust the size or shape to fit your space. Overall, it’s affordable, sturdy, practical, and just what I needed.

This is a great, lightweight, modular shelving unit. Fairly easy to put together. I love the extra width to each shelf instead of the standard 12" style that you typically find. The poles can bend pretty easily so I would just be aware of that and distribute the weight accordingly.

I’m just starting my small business, and I realized this organizer is super useful. It lets me adapt it to my space and keep all my projects and materials neatly arranged and easy to access. At first, I was a bit worried about the quality, but after assembling and using it, I found it to be sturdy and practical. The shelves hold paper, tools, and decorations well. It also looks nice and helps keep everything in place. My 8-year-old helped me assemble it super quickly, which was a lovely surprise. I would definitely buy it again

I purchased this to use in an upstairs room with low walls under a sloped ceiling. From the photos, I assumed it was more or less customizable in terms of how the cubes went together, so I thought I would be able to assemble a wider shelf with fewer vertical tiers to fit the low ceiling clearance. Unfortunately this isn't the case. The unit is designed to be 3 cubes wide x 6 cubes high, and the configuration is limited by the fact that 14 of the plastic connectors are "outside" pieces that only have holes on one side. It is impossible to assemble all 18 cubes if it is not in the 3w x 6h configuration. Since I chose this product specifically for the number of cubes, I can't use it as intended because 6 cubes is too tall for the room. I would have preferred that all the connectors be double-sided, perhaps with caps for the holes if they were concerned about the outer appearance. Sturdiness: Properly assembled (use the included plastic mallet to make sure rods are securely installed), the shelf is better quality than I'd expected. The rods will definitely bend under heavy weight, so it's a light-duty unit, but for lightweight items like clothing or shoes it should be fine. The Oxford cloth covers look cheap, but are pretty standard for this caliber of shelf unit. At this price point I'd say this product is about as good as you could expect. Caution: I sliced a large chunk out of my finger while wrestling the shelf into position when the end of a rod slipped out of its slot and pinched my hand between the metal edge and the connector. The metal ends are sharp and WILL cut you, so be careful!

I've bought two of these now, and just attach them together to make bigger and bigger shelves. The hold weight and stability is honestly incredible for such a light weight product. I have multiple compendiums, heirloom bibles, and over 200 other books on these shelves and have yet to have a problem. Kind of fun to assemble too- you get to pick your on shape and style for your area. Awesome product, especially considering its the same price as a shelf a quarter of the size made from any other material.

it is okay but I was expecting more

Not sturdy. Poles tend to pop out and gets bent easily

not firm enough to hold hard cover books, some rods may dislocate too.
