If you ask my husband, he will tell you that I have a weird obsession with baskets, and maybe he's right, but they make great storage options and can look really sharp! I how how I can simplify organization and cleaning tasks just by adding a few baskets to a room and the cube storage is my favorite. It has an updated look while giving serious functionality!

When it comes down to it, you get what you pay for. I prefer the IKEA model myself and would LOVE to have one of these in every room in my house! The ClosetMaid item is nice as well and does the job if you don't want to shell out the dough for the IKEA model. I'm pretty sure the next time we move, the ClosetMaid unit will not survive the process as the top and edges are already showing wear from having my son play around it and from drinks being placed on it without coasters. At least I'll have an excuse to go buy another IKEA shelf!
P.S. Beware the price mark up on IKEA items offered on Amazon.com. I love Amazon and IKEA both, but they are selling the above mentioned item for $185.99 right now, OUCH!
