Cube storage is a grid of open square compartments that you fill, divide or leave open as the room needs — one of the most flexible storage pieces you can buy. We stock over 40 cube storage units — freestanding cube organisers, stackable units and wall cube shelves — from around $23. Stock is held across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, so orders dispatch within 1-2 business days.
What is cube storage?
Cube storage is a unit built from open square compartments, usually in a grid of four, six, nine or more cubes. Each cube can be left open for books and display, or filled with a fabric or basket insert to hide clutter. Because the compartments are a standard size, the same unit handles books, toys, shoes, folded clothes or boxed items. It can stand against a wall, fill a corner, or work as a low room divider. The open-cube format is what makes it adapt to so many uses.
What can cube storage be used for?
Cube storage suits almost any room because the cubes are general-purpose. In a living room it holds books, media and display pieces. In a child's room it stores toys, with fabric inserts that small hands can pull out. In a bedroom it takes folded clothes and accessories. In an entryway it works as shoe storage. As a low unit it doubles as a room divider or a bench-height surface. Adding fabric drawer inserts turns open cubes into hidden storage, so the same unit can be display in one room and concealed storage in another.
Quick buyer's checklist
-
Cube count: 4-cube for compact spaces, 9-cube or larger for more storage
-
Inserts: Fabric or basket inserts turn open cubes into hidden storage
-
Cube size: Check the compartment size fits books, baskets or shoes
-
Orientation: Many units stand upright or lie low as a divider or bench
-
Anchoring: Tall cube units should be anchored to the wall
-
Flat-pack delivery: Units ship boxed and fit through 80cm doorways
Should cube storage be anchored to the wall?
Yes — any tall cube unit should be anchored to the wall, for the same reason as a tall bookcase. Once the upper cubes are loaded, the unit becomes top-heavy and can tip forward, especially on carpet or if a child climbs or pulls on it. Most taller cube units include a wall anchor strap that fixes the unit to a wall stud, and fitting it takes only a few minutes. A low, wide cube unit used as a divider or bench is far more stable, but any unit taller than it is wide should be anchored — essential in any home with young children.
How much does cube storage cost in Australia?
Cube storage at Simple Deals starts from around $23 for compact cube organisers. Most mid-size 6 and 9-cube units sit between $45 and $100, with larger multi-cube and timber designs at the higher end. All units dispatch within 1–2 business days from our Australian warehouses.
What most furniture sites won't admit
Almost every cube storage unit sold online in Australia is imported from China, Vietnam, Malaysia or Indonesia — including ours. Where the unit is made is not the real difference between online furniture retailers. What matters is what happens after the stock lands in Australia. Marketplaces dropship straight from an overseas container, which is why their "fast delivery" stretches into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there — the same imported unit, dispatched in 1–2 business days.
