Brand 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
Happy Friday

We often get asked what differentiates the zBoard from the particle board, MDF, plywood, and solid wood? Is it cardboard? Is it made from wood?
zBoards, are created through a patented, proprietary process that’s revolutionized paperboard manufacturing. Developing this process took more than 10 years, and it combines techniques of plywood craftsmanship, paperboard composition, and furniture manufacturing. It leads to extremely sturdy yet lightweight boards that hold up to plenty of use. Because we use recycled paper, no no trees were chopped down to producing zBoards. Since recycled paper is used, the process also uses a lot less water than what is used to make virgin paper. Our purpose is to eliminate as much environmental impact as possible and offer a sustainable product. When you’re done with your Way Basics furniture (after its long lifetime), you can recycle it again by simply putting it in your recycling bin.
Is it strong, will it hold? Yes! zBoards are just as strong as other wood engineered boards like particle board or MDF. Watch this video to see zBoards in action.
zBoards are made on the beautiful island of Taiwan. Taiwan inherited advanced Japanese paper engineering and manufacturing processes enabling 74% of total paper production to come from recycled paper. Taiwan is also very eco conscious recycling 60% of paper used, compared to 50% here in the United States.

Way Basics was proud to be included in Apartment Therapy’s Shopper’s Guide!
“When you’re looking for CHEAP — but not willing to throw all aesthetic consideration to the wind — this is the list for you. Here are 5 go-to sources for budget-friendly shelving and storage options for the design-minded organizer. Almost all of the units shown here are priced right around $100.”
“Exactly as the name implies, these shelving systems are way basic. Made from recycled paper, the zBoard furniture is exceptionally lightweight, sturdy and amazingly cheap — its downfall is that the weight limit is on the low side. I like the Madison Bookcase ($89.50) the best but their are fun, cheaper options like the Triple Rectangle Plus in Green($29.99). Strong enough for most uses, Way Basics are ideal for kids’ rooms, and nooks that you need some bonus shelving. As an added bonus, Way Basics are completely recyclable.”
