We know how difficult it is to keep a clean space with minimal effort. That’s why we’ve developed our newest product to fit that role and help you a bit in sweeping the proverbial mess under the rug! Because we all need that nice-looking box that we can throw all our stuff into and shut the lid. We are pleased to introduce to you our newest product: The Manhattan Storage Bench and Coffee Table!
This brand-new storage bench has a secure lid so a space remains clean no matter what mess you throw in! Use it as a footrest in front of your couch, or a footstool to reach high places. It’s also perfect to use for storage in your garage, entryway, kitchen, anywhere! And of course you can sit on it while whittling a wood sculpture or just tying your shoes.
Keeping things simple is one of our hallmarks! The assembly process is so simple, it doesn’t even require words. Just take a look at the photos below!

We’ve always thought of our zBoards as building blocks that can be utilized by immensely creative individuals, and check out what Rachel Schechtman has done with our zBoards!
A Startup Store is an innovative and highly creative six-week shopping exhibition featuring five very trendy start-up businesses. We think the idea of a store that “reinvents” itself every 4-6 weeks is both amazingly ambitious and artistically brilliant!
Several hundred of our white cubes served as the display units for all the merchandise sold during their Beta. We love the way our zBoards blend right in to the chic, yet simple interior design. Sadly, the Beta closed a few days ago on January 12th, but the store will be opening up in their new exhibition theme, LOVE, on February 2nd! If you’re in the New York area, definitely check them out; if not, take a look at their website to see what they’ll cook up next!

If a picture’s worth a thousand words, a video’s worth at least a thousand pictures. Take a look at this brief time-lapse setup of the store!

 Customizable Art in which the "user" rotates cubes to individualize their own graphic design! Available at Module-R
Here at Way Basics, we encourage individualization and customization through our modular zBoards, allowing our customers to not only select, but design their own furniture to satisfy both organizational needs, and creative ones. With that said, we’d like to introduce one of our awesome retailers! Module R is a fantastic gallery that takes the idea of the “Age of Personalization” and brings it into design and art, blurring the line between items that are mass-produced facsimiles and unique, personalized artifacts. Check out their website to learn more about Donald Rattner, their founder, and their fresh and much-needed role as a “central marketplace where customizable and transformable design (and art) from around the globe could be presented as a coherent body of work.” Be sure to stop by and check them out if you’re ever in the Brooklyn area!
 Check out these colorful, customizable photo frames available at Module-R!

Cool Hunting recently wrote an article about A Startup Store.  They mentioned that the current exhibition uses Way Basics storage cubes to display their collections.
Who would have thought that the storage cubes would match the classy and elegant exhibit displays they have?
Rachel Shechtman, retail consultant and founder of Cube Ventures, described the exhibit, “A Startup Store has the point of view of a magazine, but it changes like a gallery and it sells things like a store.”

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

When Way Basics started over 3 years ago, we set out to assure customer service was our top priority. Sounds cliche doesn’t it? What does customer service mean? We looked up ‘customer service’ at dictionary.com and found this:
“assistance and other resources that a company provides
to the people who buy or use its products or services”
Seems so mechanical and impersonal. We’ve all interacted with customer service in our lives either through a brick and mortar or online retailer. More often than not, the experience with customer service is remarkable in the negative sense. Sometimes it even ruins our day doesn’t it? We’ve all been there.
We believe in doing the right thing and from the start we set in stone that customer care would be part of our core values. Rather than just servicing our customer, we care about you. We make sure your email, phone call, feedback, product issues, you name it, we attentively service you in the way each person deserves.
With new technologies evolving the way we interact, the team at Way Basics is wondering how our customers prefer to be cared for. Would you like a phone number to call and speak to someone? How about using Twitter and Tweeting a comment or posting your love, question, or issue on our Facebook Wall? Does it matter which communication medium is used as long as you are attended to in a caring way? How important is response time?
Our team is always looking for ways to make our lives simpler, products better, and customer care more loving. We would love to hear from you. Use any one of our ways to connect and share with us:
