Q: Do you have to mount this to a wall or can it just be placed on the floor ?
A: I have many of these types of items in my home, 3 cube up to 12 cube. As long as you do not go over the weight limit you will be fine with the free standing, but, don't put all heavy on the top and light on the bottom. Evenly distribute the weight throughout the cubby and you should be fine. I normally put all really heavy on the bottom. But if you have kids that love to climb, secure this to the wall it will tip on them.
submitted byRox33anne - 5 years agoA: We have ours free standing on the floor, we have never had any stability issues on carpet whatsoever. I would not recommend it if you have children climbing it - if you do, you need to stabilize it but on carpet, it's not going anywhere unless someone decides its coming down.
submitted byMichelle - 4 years agoA: I have the 9 cube and the 6 cubes ones for years and they always were on the floor. I also bought the 12 cube one but have yet to assemble it. I plan to have it directly on the tile floor with 4 vertical and 3 horizontal.
submitted bybrandie - 3 years agoA: Hi GiasMommy - This is a great shelf for keeping organized and displaying items. We recommend securing it to a wall. Thanks! - Philip
submitted byPhilip - 6 years agoTarget staff supportA: Hello. This unit must be mounted to the wall with the L-bracket provided to ensure the stability and prevent tipping. Thank you for your inquiry.

Q: Can this sustain the weight of an aquarium on top of it?
A: 5g max on a kallax. If your looking to hold a 10g the compact desk by room essentials holds great. you're going to need an actual stand if it's a 20g.
submitted bypenjamin - 2 years agoA: Hello ad52859 - The top shelf can support no more than 50 lbs. Thank you for reaching out. - Aaron
submitted byAaron - 6 years agoTarget staff supportA: Hello. The maximum weight for the top shelf is 50 pounds evenly distributed. Thank you for your inquiry.

Q: When we stack, do we completely assemble the second unit and then attach the bottom shelf to the top shelf of the other one or do we leave the bottom shelf off the second unit and attach the uprights and inner cubes only?
A: Kathleen, I just finished building a 12-cube unit. They come with dowels and pre-drilled holes for stacking, as well as a wall anchor (absolutely essential when stacking). You would completely assemble both units then stack so they are 4 wide by 6 high. There will be a double thickness (bottom of top unit + top of bottom unit) across the middle. The total height would be approx. 70" (6 ft.). Tomorrow, I'm going to get another 12-cube + an 8-cube. Gambling that the 8-cube can be stacked on the 12 (total 4 wide x 5 high) for a total height of 5 ft.
submitted byColleen - 6 years agoA: Hi Kathleen - Thanks for checking out our Room Essentials™ cube organizers. We don't recommend stacking additional organizers on top of this item. I hope this helps as you hunt for the perfect storage piece for your space. - Alli
submitted byAlli - 6 years agoTarget staff supportA: Hello. You will want to completely assemble both units before stacking. Thank you for your inquiry.

Q: Is it a must to install all the shelves? because i need a space of 16x22 inch
A: Jay, if the object you'll be placing in the 16 x 22 inch space is not too heavy, and the items you plan to place in the other spaces aren't extremely heavy, you can omit a shelf (not so with the 1-2-3 step 6-cube unit). You get 4 long pieces, 2 shorter outside pieces, and then all the internal shelves/dividers (depending on whether you use horizontally or vertically) are individual 11" x 11" pieces attached with screws. The unit is very sturdy and I wouldn't hesitate to do it.
submitted byColleen - 6 years agoA: Hello. All dividers/shelves must be installed into the organizer for stability of the unit. Thank you for your inquiry.
submitted byClosetMaid - 5 years agoBrand expertA: Hi Jay - Thanks for your question. This 12-cube shelf is designed to be built to assembly specifications. I hope this helps! - Michelle

Q: The 12 cube describes the dark finish as "espresso brown" while the 9 cube just says "espresso." Are they actually the same color, or is one more black than the other? Thanks!
A: Hi Heather - Thanks for viewing our organizational shelf! The color is the same between the 12” and the 9”. They are perfect for organizing any room in your house. Thanks for dropping by. - Anita.
submitted byAnita - 6 years agoTarget staff supportA: While waiting for an answer here I did online chat with Target customer service and that individual told me that they were NOT the same color. I bought the 9 cube organizer (since it sounded like that one was the color I needed) even though I would have preferred the size of the 12 cube organizer. I haven't put it together yet, so could exchange it. Can you double check and confirm if they really are the same color? Sorry and thank you!
submitted byHeather - 6 years agoA: Hello. Both are the same finish. Thank you for your inquiry.

Q: Can I stain this product in a different color since it is only available in white and espresso?
A: I painted mine wno issue. I did research. Used DecoArt American Satin Emanel. Added wallpaper.to backsThis has been almost 3 years ago. I did 2 units. Just very lightly hand buff with a sanding pad., wipedown
submitted byBeeMeaux - 8 months agoA: Hello. No, we do not recommend painting or staining the laminate finish. It may cause the laminate finish to bubble up or peel. Thank you for your inquiry.
submitted byClosetMaid - 5 years agoBrand expertA: Hi Reese - This is a great item to organize your room, but it is not intended to be stained. Hope you think it's great! - Shelly

Q: Can the shelf be reversed for additional height ?
A: Hello. You can use the unit either horizontally, or vertically. Thank you for your inquiry.
submitted byClosetMaid - 5 years agoBrand expertA: It can be positioned either horizontally (3 shelves high x 4 shelves wide) or vertically (4 shelves high x 3 shelves wide). I bought this and a 1-2-3 stepped 6-cube unit. Positioning this unit 4 high next to the 1-2-3 stepped unit, this makes a 4th step. Looks great and our cat loves it. When 4 high, be sure to use the wall anchor that is included.

Q: How long does it take to assemble? Can the job be done by a single person?
A: Can very easily be assembled by one person, but the carton indicates TEAM LIFT, indicating that you need two people to get the box in the house. My solution? Have a Target Team Member help me put it in my car, then when I got home, I opened the box in the car and carried a few pieces at a time. I've done this with a lot of heavy assemble-it-yourself furniture.
submitted byColleen - 6 years agoA: Hello philly72 - Thanks for checking. Many guests have found this 12-cube organizer easy to assemble, with only a screwdriver and hammer needed. All the hardware is included. Hope it works for you. - Andrew
submitted byAndrew - 7 years agoTarget staff supportA: Hello. This unit will take about an hour to assemble. It can be done by one person, but is much easier with two. Thank you for your inquiry.

Q: are both sides finished so that it can stand in the center of a room
A: no, the back side is not finished, it's like cork board looking
