Many of our customers purchase multiple cubes and piece them together to create a storage solution. We thought we could make it even easy for you and created the Quad Cube. This unit is a single piece with 4 cubicles the same size as our regular cube. Rather than a backing board, we have created a modern checkered looks with a zBoard back board. Great for children’s rooms and simple home organization. You can even put it in your closet and or dorm room to store your clothes. Got toys, socks, or anything you want to store but want to hide? Get the storage bins from JJ Cole to fit perfectly into each cubicle.
Why choose Way Basics?
Friday, April 8th, 2011Brand and products are abundant in our consumer driven world. Sometimes there’s almost too many choices when we shop. Should I buy the one with bamboo accents or stainless steel? Made in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asia, or here at home in USA? Mass market low quality and low price or eco friendly high quality but a slight premium? Our choices are personal and reflect who we are as individuals. Perhaps in these economic times it’s a purely financial decision purchasing what we can afford. Other times it could be an emotional connection we have with a brand, color, the design, etc.
We thought we would ask our customers why they chose Way Basics when there are so many other alternatives out there. What we found out was very heart warming because it’s why we started the company and makes us so excited that so many people have embraced our brand and vision. Here are the results from a recent survey…
Customers enjoy Way Basics for our commitment to sustainability, modern design and making products simple to interact with.
Over 91% of our customers think that just peel, stick, done is easier than other do-it-yourself storage and furniture products on the market.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Way Basics! We very much value your feedback in our company and products, please reach out to us if you have anything you would like to share: talktous [at] waybasics.com

We received an email from our customer today with a post on her blog. She has purchased the Charlotte Table (we’re out of stock at the moment and will have it again in a few weeks) in white for her daughter’s birthday. Since her birthday is close to Valentine’s the theme was pink. Her mom is also a photographer so the photos are amazing! You can see the details of her post here.

HGTV’s Carter Oosterhouse uses Way Basics in eco-friendly makeover
Monday, January 31st, 2011
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The quiet southeast Charlotte street that looked more like a movie set this week wasn’t for carpenter Carter Oosterhouse’s show on HGTV. It was for a series of online clips that will be posted on the web site for Clorox Green Works.
Oosterhouse was in Charlotte for three days creating a $20,000 makeover for the Harding family.
“We’re going to give the nursery and the family room, which is kind of like a rec room playroom, a complete greenover, which is a makeover with an eco friendly twist,” Oosterhouse explained.

New: Charlotte Table Set
Tuesday, October 5th, 2010 |

Introducing the Charlotte Table Set! This table set has been one of the staples of Way Basics, so we’re very excited to offer the new design on this tried and true Way Basics gem. Each stool is a mini version of the table and features the cut-corner look, which helps to prevent some of those everyday bumps and bruises of the playroom. The slot design of the table and stools is very simple to assemble. Simply slide the base boards together and stick the top on. Each stool comfortably tucks under the table when not in use. Oh the beauty of modular designs!
Another staple of the Way Basics product line is our super simple assembly process. We’ve made our assembly process even easier by integrating dowels into the design. Simply peel back the protective covering on each adhesive strip, insert the dowels, and set the boards together.
Check out how we’ve used Wall Candy Decals on the White Charlotte Table Set! How fun is that!?
Playful, fun, creative, sturdy, and unique are just some of the words that have been used to describe the Charlotte Table Set. We love the Charlotte and know that you will too!
Way Basics Presents ‘Together’
Saturday, September 25th, 2010Introducing the newest furniture line at waybasics.com, TOGETHER. Way Basics is the exclusive distributor of TOGETHER furniture and storage products and is happy to welcome this wonderful line of storage and furniture to our offering at waybasics.com.
Versatile, stylish and cleverly designed, the pieces of this all wood furniture, are cut to fit together perfectly, making it clean and very sturdy. Assembles and disassembles in a snap, each piece also ships flat, so your table will be ready for use in seconds. No tools or hardware are required for assembly. CARB (California Air Resources Board) certified and harvested from sustainable forests. The pieces have a beautiful unfinished look, so you can leave them as is or finish them to match your décor.
About TOGETHER
TOGETHER was developed and patented by architects, Roger Berent and Kyle Hulewat of MAP (Metropolitan Architecture Practice). Their vision was to create stylish and cleverly designed products for use in our everyday lives.
When Berent and Hulewat started their architecture practice in Detroit, the economy promptly fell apart. With a bit of extra time and a love for furniture and product design, they decided to take a chance creating a furniture line that is simple, affordable and efficient.
It took hours of brainstorming, designing, and prototyping to get the furniture line to the perfect specifications. After consulting with other top developers, the contemporary designs that would soon become TOGETHER were set in motion. Berent and Hulewat are focused on “small batch” production, with the idea that the quality of the product, rather than the size of the market, is what matters most. After cutting each piece of furniture to the proper specifications, they are hand sanded to make sure their high quality standards are reached and exceeded.
TOGETHER is 100% designed and made in Michigan, USA. Using natural materials and handcraftsmanship, TOGETHER is designed to be practical, functional, and look great!

Box Creations: Reminisce the Simpler Times
Thursday, September 16th, 2010
Before we had Playstation, XBox, iPods, DVDs, and other electronic gadgets, children’s playtime was simple and imaginative. We didn’t need any fancy toys, just a few props, and our fantasies entertained us and our friends for hours. It seems like as humanity progresses, our prerequisite for entertainment and leisure seeks out luxury, technology, and the latest and greatest.
Cardboard playhouses from Box Creations are the complete opposite of what kids play with today. They’re simply made from recycle cardboard and easily fold up to create a fun play environment. Large enough to accommodate 2-3 children, Way Basics currently offers 4 adorable designs: Country Cottage, Medieval Castle, Princess Carriage, and a Space Shuttle.
The Country Cottage includes real swinging doors, swinging windows, a mail box and even a chimney! Recreate your medieval fantasy as a knight or princess in the Medieval Castle. Become a princess in the country side enjoying tea time besides your Princess Carriage. Carriage comes complete with 2 authentic lanterns, swinging carriage doors and a sunroof! Take off into outer space with the Space Shuttle. Flip up booster door in back of shuttle for easy entry and front windshield flips up for additional peak-a-boo play!
Each playhouse comes pre-printed designs with 4 non-toxic washable markers for tons of coloring fun. We’re really excited to introduce this line of live simply products for kids. Let’s bring back the simple childhood days and encourage imaginative play.
