Just rightDeniseFirst time buy from IKEA. We don't have a local store, but do have a local delivery spot. It worked great. I ordered 6 boxes in yellow. The color is great. Packaging was protective, and no adhesive tape! I was able to carefully open the cardboard boxes to preserve them as they will make nice temporary storage for odd sized items.The EKET cabinets are substantial in weight and sturdy. My first assembly was a learning experience, as I inadvertently tried it out of correct sequence. Once I amended my procedure per the directions, they were easy to assemble. Everything fit fine, and the finished product does not wobble or sway. Very happy with this purchase and shipping procedure.
AwfulSamuelThis is a simple design that is frustrating to assemble. I do not recommend this product. I give it a D-
Lovely color AllisonWe mounted these next both sides of our bed for elevated storage space. We paired them with the cream colored Eket Wall-mounted storage combination, with 2 drawers. The olive color is a nice touch. We do recommend this product and would purchase again in the future.
Hard to assemble KarenThe new design on pegs and holes to build these are easy and fast for the first 3 sides then impossible to line up the last panel with the pegs and back panel 😭
as exxpectedRootNice and clean lines
Follow the directions and read the hints from commenters! BethFess up. How many of you 1-star reviewers and complainers didn’t first look carefully at the pieces, orient them correctly and read the directions?! No, it’s not intuitive. But it took my husband about 4 minutes to put together after doing the anbove annd reading comments with hints about piece number 1. It’s the key to cube nirvana.
Do not muscle in thinking it’s obvious.
One star off what’s a 5-star piece because this simple cube flabbergasted so many people. Ikea, you have to know your audience.
I’m using the cube to hold a router and modem plus a couple cords/bricks in my office. We added a wide hole in the back for cords. Almost left the back off but figured it was good for stability.
JunkCraigVery poor quality, like cardboard. Poor design also makes proper assembly impossible.
IKEA please sort the assembly fault out!HannahLovely when put together but there's a design flaw in the assembly. The back of the box is meant to slide far enough in that it doesn't impede side 4 when you keyhole slot it into place. It does impede it. The side goes on just fine when the back is out but sticks on the back when it's in. The back is about 1/4 inch too big.
I eventually managed to assemble these by building the boxes first and bashing the backs in (damaging them slightly in the process). The back is slightly bendy so this eventually worked.
nice designMarcwell constructed, easy to put together.
Great productKarenGreat product. Assembly instructions could be improved with words.
Cute Small Space Nursery Storage SolutionLaurenPurchased five to stack as a storage solution for our teeny, tiny baby nursery. Turned out cute & added a ton of space for toys & decor!
Mounting on wall is a nightmare BarbaraThe instructions are not clear and it is a nightmare to figure out how to mount the cubes to the wall. IKEA should really start using text explanations in their instructions. I regret buying this product and would not recommend.
Basic storage gets the job donePedroCubes give lots of configuration options. Seem like good quality and easy to assemble.
NOT difficult to assemble!KrysLots of reviews saying these are difficult to assemble. They are not. You just have to follow the instruction of leaving the panel labelled “1” on the bottom throughout the entire assembly. The groove in panel one is significantly deeper than the grooves in the other panels. This allows the piece that slides in the back to sit lower so that you’re able to pop in the last panel without any resistance. Again, just leave the panel labeled “1” on the floor (or table if you’re assembling on a table surface) and you should be fine.
**I did struggle until I realized my mistake. Once I figured out that I wasn’t following the instructions properly, these cubes assembled in about a minute and a half.
great for scrapbook paper storage. Not easy to put together.SaritGreat for scrapbook paper storage.
EketVictoriaWorks great for my 12"x12" paper pads.
Hard to assemble if you don't follow the directions.JoselynnFollow the directions! Pay attention to the "1" printed on one of the pieces and get a rubber mallet and these can be assembled in 2 mins.
I first tried these without reading the directions as it was only 5 pieces. It was a nightmare. You can do the first 3 sides and then slide the particle board in and then you will spend 1hr plus losing your mind, patience, temper, etc swearing the product is defective. I even broke one trying to jam it in as it just wouldn't line up...
However, my wife then asked if I followed the directions and I didn't even look at them. She then took it and followed the directions and assembled multiple of them in 2 minutes :) lol you just have to pay attention to the directions and the "1" and they are so easy to do but use a rubber mallet with a cloth to make it easier - thanks wife.
Hope this helps.
NOT HARD! I have some tipsNiaI will post the same review on each eket I bought because I am lazy. These are NOT hard to put together. Really!
1: GRAB A MALLET! I couldn't find mine anywhere but after putting one together without one and getting frustated, I realized that Ikea made these to fit so tightly together it's just not worth doing it without. I ran to my local hardware store.
2: START WITH SIDE LABELED 1! The easiest way for me to see it was keeping the four sides together and looking for 1. But 1 is ALWAYS a piece with plastic pegs. ALWAYS. The pieces without pegs are what I think of as sides 2 & 3.
3: When putting on sides 2, put the round peg all the way into the round hole, if you only get it halfway in and slide; take it out; do it again. After the round peg is in the round hole, I grabbed the eket booklet, put it on top of the joint I was joining & pounded it until it was flat. This worked without fail. Repeat for side 3.
4: Slide the backing in sticker on the outside. Put side 4 in

Terrible Assembly Instructions!EvieI just finished assembling eight cubes. The cubes look great in our home office, but the assembly instructions are some of the worst I have ever encountered, and I am a technical writer. It took an hour to assemble the first cube. I had to take it apart once and that was no easy task. Once I figured it out, the remaining seven cubes only took 5 minutes each to assemble. The assembly video makes it look so easy, and it would have been with better instructions. It shows a woman snapping the sides together and then pushing them flush with her hands. Impossible. I used a rubber mallet. My husband couldn't even push them flush with his bare hands. Also, there were several plastic parts included with the cubes, but I couldn't figure out what they were for or how to even install them. I looked for info on the IKEA website but could not find anything. I'm using the cubes without the plasticware, and they seem to be just fine.
