Nice piece for living room
Lovely piece. Wood is a little flimsy if you don't set it up properly. Requires use of glue, which I hated, and took a while to assemble. Overall it fits my living room nicely and the color is a little faded light brown which I thought would be more richer like wood but it doesn't look like that. The legs are more of a deep mustard color which oddly fits the look but wouldn't take away from the style of your living room if you're worried about the color scheme.

Total junk!
Total junk! My organizer came and had a giant hole in the box and crushed the panel inside and made a quarter sized hole. Multiple panels that wernt near the hole also had chipped paint, dents, and other defects. I will definitely think twice about buying anything big at Walmart again. Now I have to go through the hassle of returning it. Total waste of time!

    Versatile piece of furniture!
    Purchased for daughter's dorm room and along with the cubes, which hold a lot. Storing in our primary bedroom temporarily, but I love how it looks, and want one for myself now! This is a great investment that may be used in a dorm, then apartment (in bedroom, as a tv stand, or in a closet) I highly recommend!

    Happy customer
    It arrived to my front door quickly. It was heavy to move in the box. My husband did the moving and assembling. We love the unit. We are using it as a stereo console with records in the cubbies. They fit perfectly. The only problem was the center shelf is upside down. Not a huge deal, but the directions didn't make it obvious which side was up. So the bung holes are showing in a few spots. It was too much work to redo it so we left it. With records in there you don't see them. We are happy with this piece!

    Beautiful walnut grain, excellent instructions!
    Superb and sturdy! Beautiful walnut grain, with excellent instructions. Care is needed when assembling its dowels, glue, screws and tighteners, using its nicely detailed instructions. Its parts are amazingly well numbered, to follow the instructions. This is an incredible good deal, at 120 bucks.

    Definitely surprised great buy!
    Bought this for my mom and we absolutely Love it. It's so crazy how the metal base adds so much style to this finished piece! Great space inside and on top! Set up was a bit tricky definitely needed a bit more wood glue, took me about an hour and a half to build, definitely would help to have a partner to build!

    Storage is great
    Great piece for the price! Although the box came with tears and rips and one of the panels came with a hole in it the storage unit is very sturdy. Looks good in my living room where we store our shoes.

    Very Happy With Unit!
    Great unit! I put it together by myself. It took a couple of hours. I had read the other reviews so I bought wood glue, and didn't use the glue that came with it. I'm very happy. I plan to get a tv to put on it, and the storage cubes.

    Big disappointment
    The actual color of the Rustic Gray is much darker than it appears in the photo. We have 13x13 bins that barely fit in these cubes, and there's a big sticker on the furniture that says exposure to this furniture may cause cancer or birth defects because it contains formaldehyde. (Maybe all furniture contains this chemical; I don't know). I hope I can return this piece to the store, or I'm going to have to force myself to like it since I thought it would be much lighter.

    beautiful, and easy to put together
    This is exactly what I needed temporarily while I was waiting for my furniture to be delivered. I bought this for 2 reasons 1 are furnitures on backwater for 6 months and to my son is going to use it in his room after I'm done with it. I saw a lot of reviews that said it was difficult to put together but I put this together in 4 hours by myself. It probably would have taken the average person less time but I have remote arthritis so I struggled a bit. The condition of bix wasent damaged and all items in the box were in excellent condtion. It actually looks better in person than it does in the picture and the wood grain finish is beautiful. I have received many compliments on it. I love that the leg stand gives it an extra few inches off the ground because it's perfect height that I needed.

    Amazing and worth buying it!
    I am super impressed and happy about this purchase. I trusted the reviews and I am happy that I did. This item looks amazing in my living room. It was so easy to assemble and it is sturdy. I also bought storage bins for it, just make sure to buy the large 13x13x13 size and you'll love it!!

    Shelf damaged
    While I love this piece, it was disappointing to see that one of the shelves was damaged. Had to rework the assembly so that damage would be facing down.

    Very sturdy - used as a TV stand
    This is a sturdy piece of furniture. Is not just a lightweight cube storage shelf set on metal legs. I was amazed. Bought this for my daughters college dorm suite to use as their TV stand. Holds a 43 inch tv with room to spare. I was worried the whole thing my be tippy or unstable but not at all. My husband who assembled this was very impressed with it and he can be hard to please, lol.

    Not worth it!
    The box showed up beat up and it looks like someone cut the outside. Set it up and there were cuts and dings all of the boards. Not worth the hassle to take it apart and try to tape the box back together for a return. Liked the idea of a shelf like this but this one is junk! Not worth the money.

    Its all about the legs!
    Love this! It looks even better in person than I thought it would. A few pieces came chipped, but they are on the inside and cant be seen. I bought the decorative cubes and it really gives it a nice look. I put it together myself and it was pretty easy, didnt take long. The reason I bought this one was because of the legs, changes the entire look. I recommend.

    Worth the frustration to build.
    The package is VERY HEAVY. So be prepared getting into your home after delivery. The claim of one person and one hour to put together is deceiving. It can be done with one person but not in an hour unless you have made 10 of these prior and built up your skill set. Get someone to help you hold the divider pieces together while aligning

    I love it! I got this for my kids room. I needed one with a metal base because 1) the tv is old and heavy 2) the ac vent is right below where I needed it placed. I put it together myself as a single momma. I did have to run to the store for extra dowels (I lost one) and I grabbed some wood glue and heavily put it anywhere it adheres. I did have one piece of wood fall on top of another which had the screw in pieces, which left a hole in the wood. User error, not the product, and with the cubes in there you can't see it at all. I love the whole thing! My son and I spent time organizing all of his toys and tossing old broken ones. This is the best price you'll find. Get it!

    Its ok
    It looks just like the picture but there are some problems with it. The board on the top is not adhered to it whatsoever, even with the small amount of glue that the kit came with. So if you try to move it, make sure you pick it up from the bottom of the unit. The legs were bent, I tried as best as I could to straighten them, and the top of the unit was messed up. I covered it with a candle decoration and put the messed up side against the wall. Took 2 hours to put together and you definitely need a power drill to get the leg screws all the way in. This unit serves its purpose, but if I had to do it all over again, I would have paid the extra money for a legit game storage console.

    Cube storage organizer
    The unit took me about two hours to assemble, but it was well worth the time invested. It looks upscale and more expensive than the $100 it cost. Online shows pictures of it with optional baskets in each cubby, but I am using mine as a bookcase in my limited space living room. If I need to repurpose it, adding baskets is an easy, inexpensive fix to change it up. I am very pleased with this purchase!
