I like the simplicity and elegance of the Eket line. Having a cube with a door allows me to store and hide ugly-looking stuff from work, study or art making. The
cube is made of a wood-like conglomerate, which you can clearly see on
the individual panels inner sides when assembling them. It's sturdy material but light. I can move the cube around easily with my bare hands. The white matte paint and the overall design result in a neat elegant storage solution. The door has a push-opener integrated, and opens by making a bit of pressure.
This Eket cube can be hung from the wall (you'd need to buy the wall fittings
separately), can be attached to another Eket cube (you'd need to buy the
joining fittings), used with legs (ditto) or on its own. I own two pieces, which I use separately, resting on top of two Trotten storage units with castors (now discontinued) of the same size and the ensemble looks like water for chocolate.
I found the cube easy to put together. However, the instructions leaflet wasn't the best as includes instructions for other Eket combos and models. Linking and clicking-in-and-down the side 'knobs' was easy in theory. However, despite pushing down the panels like a champion, I couldn't make them click down fully. That being the case, I had to use a small hammer (protected with a thick fabric kitchen towel) to do that.
