Shoddy craftsmanship
Date:09/14/2012
First let me say this - I LOVE they way these storage units look. I have two. However, they are really built very poorly. The wood use is junk, the paint used it cheap, and the production must have been hastily done. My units have paint drip marks (UGH!) and pain chips. And, I just got them! For the price, I would never have purchased these knowing how bad they would be. Again, love the aesthetic but am so disappointed in the craftsmanship.

Good Storage Units
Date:09/10/2012
I bought three of this unit and put them in my living room. It is a wonderful piece to display books on the shelves. I deducted one star because the unit was back-ordered and took CB2 almost 4 months to have them delivered.

nice looking
Date:09/10/2012
Bought 3 to stack. Did notice some paint streaking on some of them but hard to notice from afar. All in all I really like them!

we can't stop calling it the bee hive
Date:03/09/2012
we found this gem while browsing the CB2 in Miami while on vacation, and couldn't stop thinking about it all the way back to L.A. // we ended up picking one up for our records, and have been growing the hive ever since. it's a fun design element and practical too!

Great statement piece
Date:03/09/2012
I love these bookshelves, we put boardgames and little trinkets in ours and stacked 3 of them in our game room. It really stands out and I love how unique the design is. We are thinking about mounting them on the wall too, they are heavy so we're having a professional come out to take care of that! Great quality, sleek and new!

Perfect mix of form and function
Date:03/02/2012
I only had room for one of these in my home office, but it is a wonderful piece to display special books on the shelves and small items I enjoy looking at on the top.

Inspect before purchasing
Date:03/01/2012
My girlfriend gave me one of these for Christmas. We went to the store to pick it up, and were given a huge box to take home. The unit we purchased initially had lots of cracks where the three separate cores are joined and some paint streaking. CB2 was great about exchanging it right away, and even opened and inspected one for me before I got to the store.
These units are great and solid, but make sure you've got a well-finished one before you head home to avoid a return trip.

One of my favorite things
Date:02/28/2012
I only went to buy 1 or 2 of these but once I got them home and saw how fantastic they looked, I went back the next day and bought another couple. They are both functional and aesthetically pleasing on the eye.

Love them
Date:09/28/2011
I purchased three and will be purchasing more the hives are a little more narrow than they appear on the screen but they are a great way to store my yarn stash and display all of the beautiful yarn at the same time.

Stylish & Versatile
Date:08/29/2011
Well made. Heavy and sturdy, yet small enough to easily to move around. Can be arranged vertically, back-to-back or just peppered around the room. Order an odd number if you want to stack. You'll get more visual interest out of them. I like the pockets of negative space they create. Provides a visual lightness and cool-mod-design you can't get with typical storage pieces.

Very Cool
Date:08/29/2011
This is an awesome piece. It's a bit smaller than I had imagined it so it works great when you place them in a grouping of 3. Ours came damaged but CB2 replaced it within 2 days - awesome service. We'll probably buy a few more to stack. We got a free shipping deal, but if this goes on sale, grab one, or two, or three!

Great Storage Solution
Date:08/27/2011
This product is great for magazines and other books and papers, binders, etc you may have lying around. it doesn't hide them, but it locks those items into a neat hive grid where they are still accessible. Sturdy.

So Cute!
Date:08/25/2011
This is such a cute piece of decor. My husband and I put it in a corner area of our house that we couldn't figure out how to fill. We put magazines, a wine bottle and other nick nacks in it as well. It is so unique and we get so many compliments on it. My husband wanted to get more than one of these so that we could fill a larger space, but i love the simplicity of just one in our home. I would definitely recommend this piece!

Bought this product and it is very well built and fits nicely under my desk so it doesn't take up room in my small workspace. Would highly recommend

Great Storage Unit Just Lacks Color!
Date:08/20/2011
I absolutely love these. I bought 3 to be placed under our kitchen peninsula countertop overhang facing our living in our apt. They work perfectly in this awkward dead space and really stand out. They are sturdy and quite well made. My biggest issue is that they don't come in any other color. I would love to see these in a few color options or even with a white inside or outside with a different color opposite the white. Luckily, since they are white, I do plan on painting them to compliment my space. Overall a great product!

Interesting piece but it used to be $79 now is $99
Date:06/28/2011
I been wanting to get these for a while now and finally did.They seem pretty well constructed and is an interesting piece for the room, but later I feel like a standing book shelf is way more useful and better looking for the room.

So happy with this product
Date:02/11/2011
I love these storage units and I am so happy that I bought 3 of them. They look so great stacked up against the wall and add a modern element to the room that I did not have before. I would recommend these to everyone.

Date:02/03/2011
i think this is one of the best storage products i have ever purchased. they are sleek, modern, and over-all, fantastic. you can stack them, but they also work as a stand alone. don't buy just one, because you'll love it so much you will have to have more!
