The Habitat Squares Plus 8 Cube Storage Unit helps you organise your home without losing floor space. It's a tall unit that gives you eight separate compartments, ideal for keeping books, folded clothes, toys or display pieces where you can see them. The wood effect finish in Dark Oak brings warmth to your room while the clean lines work with modern or traditional interiors. You can leave the cubes open for an airy look or add storage boxes and drawers to hide away smaller bits. The thick frame looks tidy from every angle, there's no exposed fixings or rough edges to spoil the view.
Eight fixed shelves divide the space evenly, each cube fits standard storage boxes up to 33cm square. The structure holds up to 60kg total, so there's plenty of capacity for everyday household items. It needs securing to the wall because it's over 60cm tall, that's really important for stability if you've got children around. Self-assembly is straightforward with one person, all the instructions come with it. Arrives in two flat-pack boxes that are easier to get through doorways and up stairs than fully built furniture.

Simple construction and looks smart
My 14 year old son and I put this together. It was straight forward to build and looks smart in his room. It’s feels nice and solid and is a good size.

8 cubed storage box
This was my 3rd Habitat 8 squared storage cube but the finish on this one was not great. A couple of holes not drilled fully and a few chips in the box itself. I kept it as it was too heavy to get back in the boxes and take back to Argos. Where the box is located in my home know one will see the small chips. A very sturdy box as are the others

Sturdy and way to assemble
I have given this 4 stars as although it is sturdy and easy to put together I would say it’s a smidge pricey for what it is, saying that it stands up strong and is bigger than the kallax units

Sturdy shelves
Bought for daughters room, needed plenty of space to put together but process was straightforward. Nice clean look when finished, with large space for storage.

Very unsteady
I have put so many of these together with no problems. This one was different. Some of the holes were out of place. The unit is very unsteady and it moves when lightly touched. There was a lot of damage to nearly all of the pieces. I would of returned it but needed to get it up and sorted so i could put things away. Very disappointed 😞

It works, but assembly is not easy.
Assembly was something of a nightmare, the laminate on some of the thinner inner sections actually split when dowels were hammered home and the whole thing then collapsed when I tried to add the top section, making things even worse. I got it together with a lot of glue but really can't recommend it.

Storage sorted.
Just the job. Bought two. The boxes were too heavy for me to pull up the stairs so I went up and down with all the parts definitely put the second one together better, so my DIY has improved I wouldn't describe it as dark oak bought the bamboo squares plus storage boxes to go on the inside and they complete the look.

Excellent clone of a Dark Oak KALLAX
So, IKEA discontinued KALLAX in their Dark Oak colour scheme early in 2025. This was inconvienent to me as I required an additional 4x2 Dark Oak KALLAX to match my existing furniture. This is pretty much an identical clone of said KALLAX, matching in both colour and dimensions and is compatible with other KALLAX branded accessories. Overall, excellent.
