A place for some of my favorite things.
February 20, 2013
I purchased the Cubby Organizer for one purpose; to display a collection of mine. It's perfect!
I find the piece to be well built and solid, however, I do wish that the cubby shelves were a bit smoother. Dusting may be a bit more difficult due to this, but for the price, it's quality construction and versatility this is something I can easily live with. I'm thinking about purchasing a second one.
Thanks Pottery Barn, for offering us this very cool item!

Nice...but
February 14, 2013
The cubby is a great idea and the stain finish makes it look vintage...BUT the cheap pressboard backing completely ruins the look and the painted on numbers look cheesy. Not worth the cost to return..but not worth the full price either.

Love this cubby organizer!
January 23, 2013
The cubby organizer takes all your favorite small items and makes each more significant by putting them in one cohesive group. Love it! The only thing that surprised me was the numbers. For some reason, I thought they were metal attached to the cubby. They are only painted on. Looking back, the description does say that, they just look different online. Still very charming!

Perfect

I have been drooling over cubbies like this for a long time, but an antique one is hard to come by- this one fit the bill & is perfect on the wall of my new country kitchen.

Cubby Organizer
December 11, 2012
My cubby organizer arrived with a 4 '' gouge along the front bottom edge.It was not damaged in transit.The mfg. crudely sanded back a rough tear in the wood and didn't bother to touch up the raw wood.
Although PB would have gladly replaced it , I opted to just touch it up myself rather than screw around with an exchange process and risk getting another one in rough shape.
In addition, I didn't trust the flimsy hanging system, wihich I removed . I used 2 1/2 '' screws to secure it directly into the wall studs.
The flaws are less noticable now and I do love it, but I'm so disappointed with the lack of quality control , I won't order a second cubby, as much as I love the concept.

Cubby Organizer
November 15, 2012
After waiting for free shipping I placed my order. When it arrived, it was packed well which was good because there were holes in the box from shipping. The back of this seems to be made of a pressboard type of material. It's stained to match the rest of the cubby. There were a few funky spots on the back that did show though the front in a few of the cubbies. After it was hung and filled with an item for display, the spots are not as noticeable. Seemed a bit over priced for the quality. I have it hanging on a wall in my craft room, so it's really only seen by me and my family.

Great Quality
October 20, 2012
This cubby organizer has great quality and workmanship. But what's even better is that it is a great place for all of my smallest collectibles/flea market finds. Lots of room for even more to collect!

Perfect for my Shotglass Collection
August 18, 2012
This organizer worked out great. I bought two and stacked them on the wall. Looks great and perfect for my shotglass (from places all over I have visited). My rating of 4 was because i wish it did not have the numbers printed on the front of each square, but oh well, it doesn't bother me too much. :>

Cubbies
July 31, 2012
I purchased two of these cubby organizers to put our souvenir coffee mugs in. The product is just what I expected, with the exception that some of the background paint is missing from the numbered areas. No worries though. However, if some of the background paint is available, I would like to obtain a very small amount to fill in the spots that are missing.
Thank you!

Excellent in the kitchen!
July 29, 2012
I absolutely love this piece. I eyed it for years and finally bought it, worried that it wouldnt be worth the money. I put it in my kitchen and organized my spices in it (with nice looking bottles) and it looks awesome and is very functional! You do need to put anchors in the wall as it is very heavy, but easy for a hubby to do.

light stain
July 24, 2012
I purchased this cubby organizer to display an antique bottle collection, however all of my furniture is a medium dark walnut - much like this photo. When I opened it I was unhappy to see it was more of a medium pine. I re-stained the piece and it worked out fine, just wish the internet photos were better.

Just want I was looking for!

I have a collection of S & P shakers that I just couldn't display anywhere. This is now up on my kitchen wall with them in each cubby and I love it! The quality is excellent.

Great Item!
July 4, 2012
Absolutely pleased with this organizer. Well made, wonderfully finished with aged appearance. Purchased some heavyweight picture hangers to hang...very simple(as other reviews have reflected, we did not want to rely on what was included). This item looks even better in person, it adds warmth and charm to decor.
Excellent purchase...looks antique. Nice price point for this item.

This is perfect!
June 7, 2012
I bought this cubby organizer to put in a room with a country decor. It is perfect! The overall size is good as I have a country collection of figurines to fit in the cubbies. The finish is nice and I found the price to be reasonable. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quaint, country design in a shelf.

Poorly stained
May 30, 2012
The finish is rough and the stain is not "rich". Many rough patches of some white substance were in the bottom row of cubicles. Looks homemade by an amateur. While empty, it appears cheap. Filled with treasures, it distracts you from the many flaws.

More substantial hanging hardware needed
May 22, 2012
Really like this item and have bought two, to hang vertically (one above the other) on the same wall.
Adore the finish, the cubby seems well-built. It should, however, be manufactured with more substantial installation hardware instead of the two triangular hooks attached to the reverse.
I'll be installing mine with aluminum cleats, two-part hardware pieces. One piece attaches to the back of the item, the other to the wall, then the pieces mate together. Why this method wasn't employed here I don't know; have bought PB medicine cabinets that are installed this way, and they arrived with that type of hardware.
The weight of these cubbies is substantial, and will be heavier if used for storage and display, so I would suggest beefing up the hardware to avoid disaster.

Functional

I use mine for for nostalgic items from my clod hood like my rock collection and smurf figurines. Very versatile. A bit pricey for what you get.
