KOUSI 30-Cube DIY Wire Storage Shelf - Modular Metal Grid Organizer, Stackable Cubby Shelving for Home & Office, Black - Perfect for Closet, Pantry, Garage & Kids Room Organization

Summary: Just what I needed, to solve my laundry management challenges. I'd definitely recommend / buy again.I've had a variety of hanging bag style laundry bins & hampers, like you get at various big box stores. Invariably there aren't enough bags and everything becomes a jumble. Plus the racks or carts that hold the bags become wobbly as screws loosen, etc. I wanted something better and went on a quest to create my ideal laundry management solution.I found that solution with this Kousi DIY Wire Cube Storage, paired with Outus plastic bin labels (also bought here on Amazon ... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095SMWXSN) and woven baskets bought elsewhere. Now, when I take off my clothes, they go directly into the appropriate basket. When a basket is full, I know it's time to do a load of laundry. The basket even serves as the way to get things to the washing machine. And if I need to go find a particular article, it's much easier to find without digging around in overstuffed, disorganized bags.The corner where I've always kept my laundry hampers is about the only suitable place in the room. (And my laundry room isn't big enough.) But the corner is awkward because of the door, which never would open wide enough with the bins there.This Kousi solution allows me to use the space more effectively, by using the shorter wall away from the door and using the vertical space. Now my door opens widely again and laundry goes up the wall instead of across.The Outus plastic labels also allow me to flex with the seasons. They're dry-erase, so I can re-label the bins as the seasons and clothing changes.The structure I built didn't use all the cube components, so I also have some additional smaller towers in my linen closet for towels and sheets, and bedroom closet for overflow laundry. Both of those towers also use the bin labels and baskets.Assembly was pretty easy. I followed the included instructions and everything went together as expected. I did accidently break one of the cube wire panels while pressing too hard to get it set into the joint component. But that was early on, when I was still figuring out what to do. Guess I don't know my own strength, because normally the panels seem pretty sturdy.I do wish that it included more of the joint components. I actually still have quite a few panels, but no joints. If I had them, I could actually make some more towers. Hey Kousi, feel free to send me some more ?.Overall, I'm definitely pleased with the Kousi solution and recommend it.I wish I could upload the pictures. Most of the panels came bent. The paint started flaking off in my hands. Also the little mallet that came with it is crap. This is the third set I bought of these and the first one with such bad issues. If it wasn't so heavy I would have returned it.UPDATE! I was contacted by the seller and they are giving a partial refund.Please ignore the disastrous state of my room but hey,, at least you know I'm not lying lolHonestly this was a great purchase, I was a little concerned at reviews that said they'd had their collapse of break so I bought 3 packs of zip ties and some pegboard to line specific sections and honestly I haven't had any problems.I've had it for a month or so now, I immediately put it together and while I do recommend having a cuppa first to wake you up its easy to assembleI've got a fair amount of books on them, and they do just fine, I have noticed you have to be careful about the face of the bottom of the cube, you have to make sure to have the webbing side face up rather than down or otherwise they will bend because it's working directly against the welds.I did have a little trouble when it came to the attaching clips, one box (I had 2 orders) was damaged and some of the clips had fallen out, a good bit too, 52, I was really frustrated but their customer service is great. They were sincere and apologetic and they helped me get replacement clips quite quickly.I can honestly say that between the quality of the merchandise and the customer service I received I will be buying these again when I get the next organizing itch.Which... looking at the state of my room will hopefully be soon!The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because the clips are difficult to place on to the "clicked" position. Some spots were impossible. Without getting the clips clicked, casues the structure to be slightly off square. Now that it is up and in use, it seems be to be handling the weight of fabric, scrapbook paper, cutting machines, sewing machines and fabric just fine.I would buy it again.I have purchased several sets of these units. The plastics connectors that came with this shipment was rough around the edges where it was cut out or the mold. This was pretty unconfortable on my hands. These didn't seem to fit together as well as my other units. The metal pieces kept popping out of the plastic connectors. I finally added wrap ties to hold it together securely. Maybe they should start enclosing wrap ties along with the connectors to hold these things together.I got this for my large Funko POP collection. Putting together was fairly easy just follow pictures on the instructions. There's a lot of pieces so it looks kind of intimidating but it's not that bad. We had to move it from where it was originally built and some of the parts are crooked so they slipped out of place here and there but once we got it all back together it holds up very well. (Buy the zip ties, we didn't, but should have!) I added some LED lights and it looks so cool. It would be perfect if it wasn't so crooked but still does the job well. I don't know if it's worth how much I spent but honestly this was the closest thing to what I wanted for displaying POPs.Fairly easy to assemble. Not enough corner connectors, though. I had to order more. Zip ties make it sturdier. I was unsure what to do with the little white connectors. There wasn’t any instructions, so I didn’t use them. The shelves satisfactorily do what they were meant to, so that’s good.
