BewareCamilleDoesn't come with mounting brackets and didn't find out until I got home. Mounting brackets are not available anywhere either.1
Built our own wall unitSandraLove these! All of the multi-cube units were out of stock so we bought what was available and created our own 10 cube, wall-hung storage unit. Yes, you have to be careful about assembly (do it on a rug or the front of the cubes will get scratched) and measuring/marking the hanging location. But the final product was excellent and super cost-effective5
Great cube shelfDEBORAHThis cube shelf is so versatile. We have used it in so many ways, to hold towels, books, figurines, and even Ikea hacked the top to create a cat perch on one of them. I wish there was a few more color choices, so I didn't need to paint them, but other than that I can't find anything about it that I don't like.5
Hard to assemblyCarlos C.I honestly had a pretty hard time putting this thing together; I salute any man who has accomplished this task without damaging the unit.3

Eket SystemDeniseFor my Eket purchases, I’ve stuck to buying white, combining it with pieces from either white Kallax or Besta. It has worked out well in two rooms in my home.
In the smaller room there are tight spaces, a large, low window, some lower ceilings, and unexpected corners. The smaller scale of the taller Eket one- and two-door cabinets, some stacked, some not stacked, on two walls, has been combined with a run of low, white Kallax units on the other two walls.
Putting together that room, I found Eket offers many more options and combinations for storage and stylistics in small spaces, compared to larger or old-style furniture systems.
Related to sense of space, the scale and simplicity of Eket, especially when using the taller, doored cabinets, maxs out, rather than minimizes, how the large the small room feels.
For some of the Eket pieces I purchased for the small room, I choose to buy the shallower cabinets as it is easier to squeak them into tight spaces.
In a larger, long, narrow room, with a lower ceiling on one side, the combination of the smaller, randomly stacked Eket “boxes” at the tag end of a run of simple, shorter Besta “frames” (with and without feet), on a low wall, on the floor, is bringing out the best of that space. I’m thinking that’s due to the parallel repetition of long linear lines in both furniture and exposed wood posts, beams, and floor boards. The white cabinets and the simplicity of their lines again maxes out the sense of space within the narrow room.
So, 5 stars for Eket, I think, in bedroom and living room. Maybe 6 stars when scrambled in with other Ikea cabinet systems.5

Nice!David V.I bought three of these to make a small bookcase in the corner of my bedroom. They go together easily enough, but it is hard to get the last corner to meet. I eventually got it to work and it looks great.5
Fun Shelf SystemKEVINSimple square boxes to make a fun, unique shelf system. They aren't fancy. The color is sort of plastic coating over the pressboard base. The only problem I had is that some of the corners were damaged slightly in shipping. Not enough to warrant sending them back, but there you go. If you're hanging them, don't forget the brackets (sold separately of course).4
Good solid useful modular tool.JohnGood solid useful modular tool. Slippery surfaces are my only minus. Brackets and optional feet are an unexpected plus.4
Clean and contemporary design EKET...using as nice stand.CatherineFairly straightforward assembly.
You need to use a hammer with a cloth between the frame and hammer to get the seams on the miter corners to line up.
Looks great once you make the seams match up!5
SizePattyA little bit too small...4
CubeAlexanderLove the idea that you can peace all these cubes together and make your own look in style.5
EketGABRIELEasy to assemble, sturdy and versatile. You can make it your own!5
Works GreatSUSANI bought two Eket boxes to make a bedside table in a very small space. The boxes were easy to put together and I simply stacked them for a three-surface end table. Now I can attractively hold my charging devices, my water bottle and anything else I need.5
Perfect bathroom shelvingSuzzetteI don't have a lot of floor space in my bathroom, and this helps me make use of the vertical space. The color is perfect too.5
Great product and priceLUISAGreat product and price5
impossible to assemblyDAVIDThis is one of the only products I have bought at IKEA in over 20 years that I had to return. I just couldn't get the joints to be clean as pictured.1
