Customers Say
Sturdy, spacious storage unit with a modern look, generally easy to assemble but some reported issues with damaged parts, misaligned holes, and assembly difficulty. Good value but occasionally overpriced for quality.

Simple construction and looks smart
My 14 year old son and I put this together. It was straight forward to build and looks smart in his room. It’s feels nice and solid and is a good size.

8 cubed storage box
This was my 3rd Habitat 8 squared storage cube but the finish on this one was not great. A couple of holes not drilled fully and a few chips in the box itself. I kept it as it was too heavy to get back in the boxes and take back to Argos. Where the box is located in my home know one will see the small chips. A very sturdy box as are the others

Sturdy and way to assemble
I have given this 4 stars as although it is sturdy and easy to put together I would say it’s a smidge pricey for what it is, saying that it stands up strong and is bigger than the kallax units

Sturdy shelves
Bought for daughters room, needed plenty of space to put together but process was straightforward. Nice clean look when finished, with large space for storage.

Very unsteady
I have put so many of these together with no problems. This one was different. Some of the holes were out of place. The unit is very unsteady and it moves when lightly touched. There was a lot of damage to nearly all of the pieces. I would of returned it but needed to get it up and sorted so i could put things away. Very disappointed 😞

It works, but assembly is not easy.
Assembly was something of a nightmare, the laminate on some of the thinner inner sections actually split when dowels were hammered home and the whole thing then collapsed when I tried to add the top section, making things even worse. I got it together with a lot of glue but really can't recommend it.

Does the job and is sturdy enough, but overpriced.
This is the second one of these I’ve purchased. I’m sure that must say something? It’s fairly large, sturdy and I put it together myself in 30-40 minutes. The only downside is that you’re basically paying £90 for a few cuts of coated MDF. The thing crumbles under pressure in the wrong place (like using a mallet or hammer when putting it together).

Excellent clone of a Dark Oak KALLAX
So, IKEA discontinued KALLAX in their Dark Oak colour scheme early in 2025. This was inconvienent to me as I required an additional 4x2 Dark Oak KALLAX to match my existing furniture. This is pretty much an identical clone of said KALLAX, matching in both colour and dimensions and is compatible with other KALLAX branded accessories. Overall, excellent.

Could have been better
Good quality but disappointing assembly. Side panel had no pre-drilled holes and had to ask for help from a friend with an electric drill.

Hi There,
Habitat Squares Plus 8 Cube Storage Unit - Oak Effect
Having checked I can see this would need to be secured to the wall with the brackets provided. Please see link below for assembly instructions: https://spares.clickspares.co.uk/Argos... With the bracket it may be difficult to secure from the side.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello there,

The instructions state: ''Warning! In order to prevent overturning, this product must be
used with the 2 wall attachment devices provided.'' To hang horizontal you may need more wall fixings?
