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

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

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.

For stability I would leave all the shelves in tact. It is not built to accomadate just 3 shelves. It is a little gem, though. Just right.

That's a good question. I have it on the floor as it's shown in the picture so the middle divider is just a divider. I'd suggest getting single cubes and stacking them vertically instead.

The bottom shelf needs to be attached, it is the only thing holding the four legs together. If you remove that, the shelves will be completely unstable.

I have several on a shelf I mounted on the wall. They are partly open in the back, so you could try putting 2 picture hanger-type hooks in the wall (level and about 7 1/2" apart) and catching the back of the unit on the hooks. I'm not sure how secure this would be, so I'd squeeze the hook as tight as possible to make it hold snuggly. I'd give it a good firm wiggle & tug before putting anything in it. Don't use it if it's not really secure; you don't want it falling off the wall once it's loaded. A shelf might be better.I think if you try to drill holes in the plastic it will crack the plastic.

If you were able to complete making the first cube, you should have a slot available on the black connector on each side so that you can add a back and two side walls, if you are not able to than you need to disassemble the connector so that you can have a slot available to connect the sides and back to the top shelf which will now serve as the bottom shelf for the top cube, I hope this helped, if not hit me back and I'll try and provide you with a more detailed response.

No, the shelves keep the unit from wobbling. You might be able to get by using just 2 shelves. I'd keep looking, I'm sure what you want is available.

If you took the time to maybe glue your the shelves to the pegs. The shelves have notches where they sit on pegs and they wobble. I like the unit just not unstable shelves. Good luck. It is a nice unit.

The shelves help stabilize the rack. I wouldn't risk ii, especially if you are placing heavy items on the top shelf.

Yes, there is a nail/bolt on the bottom to hold it in place. Shelves are good & sturdy!

I wouldn't trust them. I had them in my pantry for food and in my children's closets and they kept coming apart and are very difficult to put back together without taking everything off and redoing it. I got rid of them and replaced them with sturdier more expensive shelves and it was totally worth it. Less stress and annoyance!

I would say it depends on your child, I built this for my son at 4 years old, he loves it and has not fallen out. My one recommendation would be to use wood glue to help keep the drawers sturdy!

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 shelves are structural elements too. They keep the sides together. You'd weaken the whole piece. Cheers

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.

They can be stacked in a tidy fashion, and their weight adds some stability, howver they do not actually 'click' together, so there is nothing to prevent them from sliding apart if pushed. I hope this helps.
