Is there anything that secures multiple cubes together, eg. Grooves or screws? I am worried about my child pulling up on it &amp; the shelves falling.

No there isn't anything the cubes do have some heft but a child could topple them

In my experience of using the ShelfLinks I would not say they would be secure without using screws to hold all the upright and horizontal 2x4's in place. Especially when you are taking items on and off the shelves...I even secured the bases to the floor so that the base would stay as secure as possible.

There is a small ledge on the shelf that keeps the items from falling off the shelf. I'm still very happy with this purchase. I have no complaints about it. We've had it for about 6 months now I believe.

These are not a sturdy product. I got them for a closet and putting them together was like trying to keep a house of cards up. The corner discs that are supposed to keep the wire panels together break easily, and neither box I purchased contained enough of them to contruct a full set of cubes- even without the breakage. Once you actually do get one put together, they collapse when you put something inside. The problem only gets worse if you try and connect the cubes. It was a complete disaster and I found a better, more solid solution.They are definitely not sturdy enough to mount on a wall. These are not a sturdy product.

Do you mean for security or just so they don't move? I have not needed to secure them. They just stay on the shelf... Maybe some earthquake putty if you find it is slippery.If it is to prevent theft - I don't know.

Hi. I want to build a shelf that falls down. Not one that gets pulled up.Would it in your opinion make sense to use these brackets? They wouldbe on the two sides of the surface I will be using. Thanks for any replyon that!

Troy, I do not know a specific answer for U. As U know the shelving is adjustable making various weights for various shelves. I would use the strongest fastener that U can get, as the overall weight of all of the shelves is HEAVY. Safety first for me and I will also be protecting against the unit pulling away from the door no matter what I place on the individual shelves. Hope helpful to some degree. Our shelves have been extremely useful adding a lot of extra storage to our kitchen pantry.

Depending on surface you are rolling the Origami the wheels may be too small. Albeit, if it is smooth concrete and the loads not too heavy you shouldn't have a problem. Keeping the heavy items on the bottom shelf plays a part as well.

No, not as it is. The cubes that have backs on them are a veneered hard cardboard (one side looks like wood, the other - cardboard). They will not withstand any weight on them. But with that said, it is easy to put together, a nice looking dark wood colored shelf that can stand vertically or horizontally. We also bought storage bins to use with it and they worked nicely with it.

The cubes certainly aren't built for hanging - you could modify them either by drilling some mounting holes or attaching brackets, but they are made of particle board which is not sturdy. I would not recommend modifying them to be hung.Probably the only way to "hang" them would be to buy some shelving brackets ( Black HD Steel Shelf Bracket, 12" High ) and place the box on top of 2-3 of these brackets. It won't be pretty, and you're almost certainly better off looking for a different box/shelf.

None it easily screws together by hand...I did use a rubber mallet to gently tap the selves into place which makes it a bit easier, but you can do the whole thing without it. If you have the version with wheels, a wrench is supplied to tighten the wheels in place. It is very easy to put together, and the instructions are easy to follow. A stepstool and a helper is useful in placing the higher shelves, but I put the whole thing together by myself in just over half an hour, and I'm no great handyman...Hope that helps.

I would buy two 'L' brackets from the hardware and mount them on the wall and attach the cube to them. The cube is not structurally sound enough to hold any weight of its own.

I have this cabinet in brown in my kitchen for an extra pantry...I also have twin 5 year olds and we have never had a problem...I keep heavier items on bottom usually and kids can't even move it let alone it move itself. Very sturdy...I bought the one in the picture for extra closet space...each kid gets a side and they even climb in that one without it being anchored...I am a nervous mom about these things so I was concerned with sturdiness also...hope this helps!

Yes you keep them together to keep it secure. I love mine I use it practically every day. Well worth the money.

No. The black trays just hold the tiles, but there's nothing stopping them from falling out if the whole thing is turned over or something

I've got tons of books and trinkets on mine... But don't do anything over 30 or 40 pounds on each shelf. The shelves are made of glass :/
