I’ve pinned the daylights out of the organization pictures on Pinterest.   The common theme I see is a plethora of shelving.  However, shelving can be pricey. Not to mention the frustration of assembly.  Do I hear an amen?

Well, let me tell you about Way Basics.  I stumbled across Way Basics when trying to find some affordable storage bins for our playroom.  Several things about Way Basics appealed to me.  First of all, the simple and clean design just looks great with any decor.  The bright colors are so inviting!  The fact that there are NO tools needed with Way Basics was a huge selling point.  And finally, since these storage cubes are made from 99% post-consumer recycled paper, the carbon footprint is clearly greener than that of traditional shelving.   The stacking of these cubes is very versatile so that you can create a custom look at a fraction of the price.  This cube was $20.  It’s so light that I could pick it up and move it easily.   It took me all of eight minutes to assemble this cube, and that included the time it took to open the box.  Unbelievable!!

The instructions are very simple and well-illustrated.  I had no trouble locating the pieces for each step.  It is truly as easy as pushing in a peg and removing a label, then sticking it all together.

I planned for this storage cube to go in our playroom, but my daughter claimed it for her room instead.  It is a perfect backdrop on her dresser.

There are many pieces on the Way Basics website that I’m eyeing for the playroom though.  Hint hint, if my husband is reading!
