This 12-cube system is built using 0.4mm polypropylene resin sheets stretched over a steel wire frame. The primary benefits of these materials are their chemical inertness and resistance to moisture, making them suitable for mudrooms or utility areas. The modularity allows for staggered or "staircase" configurations to fit under stairs or in corners.
Features and usage tips include:
- Use the included wooden mallet to ensure all wire frames are fully seated in the connectors.
- Distribute weight evenly to avoid the "bowing" effect on the thin-gauge panels.
- Anchor the unit to a wall if stacking in a tall 3x4 configuration to manage the center of gravity.
The ABS plastic connectors provide multi-directional slots for customization. However, these joints can loosen over time if subjected to frequent floor vibrations or if the unit is moved while fully loaded. Specifications suggest a static peak limit of 10 lbs per cube, but for daily operational use, maintaining a weight of around 6 lbs per cube helps extend the life of the connectors and frame.
If you need a system that includes integrated drawers for smaller items, the kids' rolling toy organizer may be a more functional choice.
