Wood Storage Cube

A wood storage cube can be used for a variety of purposes. Many people use these cubes for extra storage in bedrooms, garages, utility rooms and even sometimes in the living room or family room. They can come in so many different shapes, sizes, styles and types of wood that it makes them a good choice for a lot of storage needs. Sometimes storage isn’t even the purpose for using wood cubes in your home; the right ones can be perfect frames or display units for your knickknacks or other 3-dimensional decorative items. The versatility of these storage cubes is what makes them so popular in homes these days.

When you are looking at the wood storage cube specifically for storing items, the kind you buy will depend largely on what you are going to store. For instance, there’s a good chance that wood cubes in a child’s bedroom will be used for storing toys, clothes, or both. To keep children safe, the design of the wood cubes need to rounded at the corners, and the surface of the wood needs to protected against splintering. The wood needs to be thick and strong, since young children rarely care about being careful with their furniture. For an older child or adult’s bedroom, these things aren’t as much of a concern, although if you’re going to be storing clothes in your cubes, you definitely don’t want wood that can easily splinter, or sharp corners where cloth can get caught.

Using a wood storage cube as a part of your decor can really open up some nice possibilities. If, for instance, you collect vases, you could stack a few decorative wood cubes in your living room, and then display a different vase in each cube. You could even purchase unfinished cubes and paint them the color that you want, or even in the design that you want. The possibilities are endless.

Where you shop depends on what type of wood storage cube that you’re looking for. If you’re interested in simple storage, then most department stores or home stores will probably have what you’re looking for. Walmart carries a wood cube that they call the “Badger Basket” that actually has a front curtain on it, which can be great for storing clothing. It comes in a cherry or walnut grain, and sells for around $19. This cube is sharp-cornered, however, so is better for older children or adults.

Shopping online can be one of the best ways to find the exact wood storage cube that you’re looking for, especially when it comes to finding them for children’s rooms or for decoration. Kaplantoys.com sells a storage and book cube for children that has several compartments and all round edges, which makes it a safe choice. At $279 it’s not one of your cheaper choices, but it’s made to last for many years. Organize.com has several options for storage cubes made out of wood, many of them decorative enough for display in the living room. Prices range anywhere from $25 for simple wooden cubes to hundreds of dollars for more elaborate designs, and shipping is often free for larger orders.
