The engeneering of cubes as well as adding any supports of wood change your tensile strength.

I came here to say that too. Been there for my preschoolers. I thought it would be fine cause they’re so little, nope! Lasted about two weeks started to bend and weaken. Just not made for sitting. Although the reinforced thick wooded ones might hold up nicely.

Yeah they don't make it long, especially if you forget then have birthday party and theirs about 10, seven years old and they believe they are frogger in hoping, jumping, WWE takedowns. Best bet is old changing tables good to break down make a seat bench, you can also use the crib mattress believeme they are the best whether you have a old one or a friend getting rid of one. Take a old wore out sheets, older favorite blankets can be cut down, cloth hot glue, cloth tape, sewing machine or hand stich. You always want to be able to pull cloth off to wash, I use them easy stich on velcro for on and off. Older dressers are good, you can use the drawers for something else, can't go wrong finding older pieces at curbside, you can make anything from Lego table to a outside bench seat. Just my opinion, I'm a wood collector though anytime someone has good dresser, shelves, wood doors at the curb or they going to toss out I stock pile in our old barn😂😂 what's best is when someone pulls out cabinets whether whole or pieces if it's older cupboards they are always sold wood, old farmhouses are the best. They work for hubby's car garage with the hoist, from tools to everything else. Anything whether metal shelves or cupboards, anything with wheels is worth taking the time to take them of and have a drawers full of them.

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 ❤

Great deal!

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

The ones from Ikea are much better

Thanks to each person sharing their creative idea.

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

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! ❤

How fun! People are so creative😊

By the time you get through buying everything it's going to be a lot and wouldn't be my thing when I could buy something better

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

@tropezando That's a million dollar idea right there! 😉😂

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

The 2nd idea with the Ikea rug and covering one side of the green box was ridiculous. Linen look boxes are available everywhere these days for well under $5. What a waste of time and money - not only that it looked trashy too.

Does it make you feel important going on the internet mocking and critiquing other people who are doing their best to improve their lives? You're not important being a jerk.

Some of these are ridiculous. If you have wood and all these tools, why do you need or want Wal-Mart cheap partical board shelves? Just make the shelves too

@cynthiacrawford1573 I'm talking about the video. Most of these examples show people using tools many people don't have, and raw supplies. My point is, if you're going to cut and build something using tools, and boards as depicted in this video, you might as well build everything using quality wood instead of cheap partical board prefabricated junk.

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.

Nice DIY's!

Very Creative. I like the bed frame idea, however, she may want to drill some holes in the 3/4" plywood the mattress is laying on due to lack of air flow which can cause MOLD!

The mattress can pull air through the sides every time someone gets off of it. It is compressed when people sit or lie on it. And it gets fresh air all the time on all sides and the top. It won't mold.

I love how people take a positive situation and find something wrong, just negative I guess

My big ones are Better Home & Garden, because they are set longways/envelope/on side. & double stacked. ( More stability.) I use them for a family pantry, can goods. 😊 they can take a LOT of weight.

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

I think this is the best one I’ve ever watched on this channel. I liked and if I had the talent, I’d do everyone. Good job to all the creators in this video.

Love all of these DIYs ideas. Would add my own splash to the plastic container ones to make them more subtle

Always screw from underneath or inside the cubby holes into a top for invisible fastening.

Cube sets, make a fabulous raised vegetable beds. Obviously, if you want them to last for season 2, as I try to do n..I use an outdoor primer and or even engine spray , I additionally, a used/savedou a drill a few drainage and r raised bed soil and plant or seeds

There are a lot of things you can turn them into, howe ver, whatever you choose as your post purchase addition should be used to shore up the original cubes, which TEND to be flimsy. Wall shelves? I like! The bar cart idea; yes a good example of your improvement also making the project stronger.

Thank you for sharing.

I like all these projects. I have already made similar things in my home. Thank you for this channel. I subscribed.

Everybody's so creative!

Lots of great ideas, thanks!

Love all of these makes, saving video for later

Some great ideas!💜

I think the bar cart was my favorite of these.

Thank you for the great ideas, I will try them on the cube cabinet I have.

❤️❤️Great Ideas!

❤Omg. I'll be doing at least 2 of these i love for my bedroom and hallway.

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.

1st 1 har 0:04 d to catch what she was doing for fabric bed stool! Going check out these ideas for where to purchase cubes! Ikea vs walmart!

I like all the ideas… great inspiration and most are easy to do

Love this!

Some great ideas.

Moms to the rescue!!❤

I used them for open cabinets in a utility kitchen

I like Ikea much better than Wal Mart

These are some really creative ideas 👏😊

Couldn't be faffed to do any of this.

Better get the ikea Kallax cube shelving units. They are better made that the Uber cheap Walmart cube shelving.

Awesome ideas!

Great ideas!🥰🥰

Suggestion on last cool craft: How about spray painting the top any color you like? I love your fabric idea! A-1 ❤

@Mokiefraggle

Ай бұрын

You have to be really careful with spray paint and plastic...some types of spray paint have additive that actually can start to eat into the plastic, while others will just slough right off with basic, regular use levels of contact. There's specific ones that are made for plastics, but it's hard to say if it would stand up to the lid being frequently handled.

I just threw mine away because it looked bad😂. I like storage for bed idea for sure

I wish I was that creative!

All I could say was wow love it

I like this kind of easy storage ideas but the fact is cubes vertical or horizontal get lots of dust. Difficult maintenance for the cubes and for the objects that are in them.

We don't own some of these tools or a garage to fit them. Our house is built on a slab. I'd make these because they'd be good storage for my fabric and sewing accessories. With a taller one i could keep yarn, knitting needles, chrochet needles, and other and other things. They don't take a big footprint, i can put on a single wall, and have everything organized. I'd probably screw them together for stability, at least she has ideas and shares them. 👍

Oh, Yes we can! 😊👍

I love these ideas

Walmart storage cubes…. VERY Nice, and practical!! Where did you purchase the gold legs from and how did you attach them??

Love all the cube ideas

Wow wish I had the confidence to make that bed frame it did look amazing

Can you tell me what kind of wheel you put on the bench? I have an 8 cube kallax unit and I would love to be able to put wheels on it. Thanks for the ideas.

This was great! would love to add wheels to ours. Do you know where I can find ones like the ones in the video?

❤

If you see something that you don't like, then I would really love to see your way of doing it on your own live.

Brilliant work ❤❤❤

I love America for this

I loved the first wine bar. Creative

The bench looks good, but those things won't hold much weight. They are not well made.

Yesss❤👍🔥🥰👏👏👏👏

Bed frame would hold a fly lol

Problem is that the hardwood will last way longer than the particleboard that the storage units are made of

If properly taken care of , cube organizer shelves last for a very long time. If you follow the manufacturers instructions on not putting anything heavy on them or moving them around while filled then they'll survive for many years.

That would solve my messy looking room. This place is so small I have my manufacturing stacked up in boxes bags whatever

The TV should also be secured to the wall or to the stand. I was in the ER one night and sat by a lady whose grandchild had pulled a TV on top of himself. I am not sure if he made it. I found out TV's frequently kill kids.

Get free plywood pallets made of oak and make your own

The tv stand remains far too small for the tv!
