I have many of these sawdust storage shelves that saved me when I moved into 1/3 of the space I used to live in. They were quick, simple, and absorbed almost all of my work and kitchen things. The stacks of cardboard moving boxes were out of the middle of my living room. Now, for reuse, recycle and repurpose. Thank you

My daughter used six of these on their side to raise her full bed in her dorm for storage. Not only does she have the cubbies filled but the space in the middle holds all her larger bulky items and suitcases. She left openings on two sides for access. She used a single 4 cubby above her headboard for storage. Then she created a desk by putting an old core door across them using the door knob hole for wires. It’s beautiful in her dorm . Holds everything she needs and cost $120 dollars total.

Thanks to each person sharing their creative idea.

You’re gonna spend more money trying to cover a green cubby storage box when you can just buy the color you want when they make so many different colors. Some ideas are gonna cost you more than to buy the actual item.

My husband made shelves in our closets with these types of shelves. I found a warehouse that was selling these for 10 bucks new in the box, We purchased 6 of them and Taaa daaaa built in shelves in my walk in closet and all our other closets 😊 We topped it off with some trim pieces we have and they look like they came in the house this way ❤

It seems an awful lot of hardwork.
I'd just go to a furniture thrift shop.
By the time youve paid out for the cubes, power tool, extra pieces of wood and varnish you may as well purchase a solid second hand piece and polish it.
But I guess if you love mdf storage, and have plenty of time n money to spare, go right ahead!

Okay, gluing wood to a plastic bin and then attaching casters is going to be how I make myself a triple mop bucket.

I like the one that was turned into a bar area! That’s super cute!

You can’t sit on a Walmart organizer. It will break 🙄

[cynthiaoconnor]

Watching the first item (padding and cloth to make a seat), all I could think was "the first normal sized person who sits there will collapse the bench".

Clever remakes of something mundane into something with lots more functional value & stylish aesthetic punch! Nice!!

[judystarr]

I used them to act as shelving on top of my built in wardrobes. Previously jumpers, blankets, handbags were up there but the stacks fell over or looked untidy. Now they look terrific neatly folded in the cubes. Very happy with my bargain shelving

Great video. Great ideas. Some are something I wouldn't do, but that is why we all are not created equal. I especially liked the covering of the fabric blocks.

Those things are way too flimsy to use as a bench.

[jamiemcmullin]

For all the time and money spent trying to make the Walmart / closet maid shelves into new items one would have been better off buying ikea that came as the actual ready made piece of furniture needed. I found it obvious this video was made to imitate ikea kallax “hacks”. I agree with many other commenters, goodwill, yard sales, thrift stores much better places to buy real wood furniture that can be modified to make a quality new piece of furniture. Plywood and building supplies are very expensive now.

I have several of these units sitting around! Thank you for showing me how to enhance them!

[kimberly_happiness]

Everybody on here so freaking creative it's wonderful❤

[deniseanderson]

All very nice 🤩 team work makes the dream work ⭐️

I did this in my Studio apartment 10 years ago. I was thinner then 😃 But I guess it's new to them. You have to reinforce them or they will collapse when you put any substantial weight on them.
