Badger Basket Three Bin Storage Cubby

I purchased 1 of the 2 bin cuubies and 1 of the 3 bin cubbies in the espresso color to stack on top of each other.

They are NOT the same color, there are 2 completely different finishes on these and they look bad stacked together.

I bought 2 of these to store my toddler's toys and gave them 2 stars only because they will serve their purpose. I was hoping it would be a fairly stylish way to mask the mess, but I was wrong. The boxes are more industrial than stylish (unless industrial is your style of course). The bins are sturdy enough but simply don't look as nice as I had hoped. They are espresso colored, but it is a solid color... nothing wood looking about them, so they clash with our other furniture.

Also, as others have stated, there are no covers for the silver screws. By simply adding covers of some type, or even dark colored screws, the manufacturer could bumped them up a notch in style and completely changed the look of these bins. I am going to try to find some wood plugs to stain and cover up those ugly screws. Also, both bins came with some damage (smashed corners/edges). The damage is on the front and the bottom of the bins but is somehow (thankfully) in a location where it will probably go unnoticed by others.

The bins were very easy to assemble. They only took me about 20 minutes and I assembled them alone. Unfortunately it is very easy to strip the screw holes, so you have to use a very gentle pressure when tightening the screws. I wish now that I had put a little wood glue in each hole to hopefully increase the life of these units.

I fully expect them to get banged up, dented, and probably chewed on by my son, so the poor quality doesn't upset me as much as it would otherwise. These WILL serve the purpose of storing toys for a toddler, but they aren't worth $65 each. I feel like I got ripped off. I wish I would have spent more and purchased something similar from a place that pays more attention to detail, but I keep reminding myself that they are only for toy storage.

Finally, the bins smell terrible. I think it is an odor of adhesive maybe??? Or from the packaging??? They give off a sickening smell of packaging tape. I don't really know how to explain it otherwise, but we have to open the windows and air out the house today. I felt terrible because the odor in my baby's room is so strong after having his bedroom door closed all night. I'd move the bins out to the garage to air out, but I'm afraid the humidity might ruin the fine finish. ;)

These bins would be great if you don't mind the screw holes and if you don't expect them to stay looking nice. But like I said, they will serve their purpose if you can get past the rest.

Buy Badger Basket Three Bin Storage Cubby Now

We purchased one 2-bin and one 3-bin Badger Cubby for my son's toys to keep downstairs.

Pros:

Large, holds quite a bit of toys!

Construction is sturdy. It comes with a bracket so you can stack one on top of another and still quite sturdy!

Easy assembly. Took about 30 minutes to assemble each cubby, a total of 1 hour for both.

Looks fantastic!

Cons:

Came a little chipped in a couple of small places.

There are no covers for the screws, so they show.

Overall, for this price and for the amount of toys it holds, I am not complaining. I am going to order 2 more for his bedroom upstairs (with more toys)!! I am quite content!

Love, Love, Love these storage bins. I bought 4 (have only received 3 so far). I had all 3 put together in less than an hour. Very easy to assemble and light weight enough to carry up the stairs. My daughter loves them too. Awesome find, especially with free shipping.

I purchased the 2 bin and 3 bin cubbies to stack together. Bins are deeper than they appear and can easily fit 4-5 medium/large toys in each cubby. (ie: shape sorters, small/med see 'n say, music drum set, etc). Gave 4 stars because item is darker than picture shows, it looks almost black, and had some damage when it arrived. (I did not contact the company however). You can't go wrong with this item, it will grow with your child.
