I don't usually rate products on Amazon, but I cannot say enough good things about these cube sets.
I have had several over the years, and they have served many purposes. I love the versatility and durability of these cubes. My first 2 sets went to building a bunny cage. They survived being chewed on and being used outdoors with only minimal paint chipping. (I only got rid of them because I moved.) Since that time, I have always had a set or 2 and have found plenty of uses for them inside the house. Right now, I have 2 sets that I am using as a pantry in my kitchen. They easily hold up heavy canned items and juice containers without additional support.
Now, all that said, there are a few tricks I have learned about using these cubes most effectively:
- It says you don't need tools to put these guys together, but I always use a pair of pliers to get them tightened and sometimes a hammer. This ensures you get a good fit and maximum sturdiness. It still doesn't take very long, and I am a little woman (5'1", 110lbs). So, if I can do it, anyone can.
- If you REALLY want them to stay together, you can reinforce them with zip-ties. I did this when I was holding in rabbits, and the cage was the only thing preventing total destruction of my balcony. However, I haven't used zip-ties since, and I still find that they are plenty study on their own.
In summary, I think this product is very utilitarian and durable, and I would recommend a set (or 2) to anyone. Get more detail about
