Product Information
Full details
The Urbn-Living ARKA 8 Cube Storage Unit is an ideal solution for homeowners and apartment dwellers seeking a stylish, asymmetrical alternative to standard boxy shelving. This unit masterfully blends open display space with six collapsible fabric drawers, providing a versatile way to declutter living areas, playrooms, or hallways while showcasing decorative items. While the unit offers significant organizational flexibility, users should note that the non-woven fabric drawers are best suited for lightweight items rather than heavy books or dense hardware.

FAQs
Are the fabric bins removable?
Yes, all six fabric bins are fully removable and collapsible.
What are the exact dimensions?
The unit measures 95.3cm in height, 88.8cm in width, and 28.5cm in depth.
Can I use the unit without some of the fabric bins?
Yes, you can leave any number of shelves open to create a different aesthetic or to accommodate taller items.
Is the unit wall-mountable?
This unit is designed as a freestanding piece of furniture.
Can the fabric bins hold heavy items like hardback books?
It is recommended to store heavier items on the sturdy shelf surfaces rather than inside the fabric bins to ensure longevity.
Troubleshooting
The unit feels slightly wobbly on the floor
Check that all connecting screws are fully tightened and ensure the floor is level. Consider using felt floor protectors under the base.
Fabric drawers are difficult to slide in and out
Ensure the contents of the drawer are not overhanging the edges, as this creates friction against the shelf above.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward and typically requires standard hand tools. Ensure the unit is placed on a level floor to maintain the structural integrity of the asymmetrical frame. For care, wipe the laminate or wood-effect surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners which could damage the finish. The non-woven fabric bins should not be machine washed; if they become stained, use a damp cloth with mild soap and allow them to air dry completely. To maintain stability, avoid over-stacking the fabric bins with heavy hardware or sharp objects that could tear the fabric liners.
