B&M has introduced a new cube storage unit that it claims 'fits beautifully into any room.' The 1-2-3 Slatted Cube Unit, priced at £25, is now available in stores, offering a budget-friendly option for those seeking stylish organization.
The 'oak effect' unit features a stepped design with slatted detailing, which the retailer says 'offers versatile storage' and 'creates visual interest' in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Its design is comparable to B&Q's Oak Six Cube Step Storage Bookcase Unit, which retails at £69.99.
Price Comparison and Design Differences
While both units share a similar cube-based silhouette, they differ in construction. B&M's version uses slats, whereas B&Q's bookcase features a solid design. Shoppers opting for B&M's unit over B&Q's could save over £40.
On its website, B&M describes the unit: 'Add a touch of modern style to your home with this 1-2-3 cube shelving unit. Featuring attractive slatted detailing and an oak effect finish, it offers versatile storage for your living room, bedroom or hallway. The stepped design creates visual interest while providing plenty of space for books, ornaments, plants and more. A practical and stylish storage solution that fits beautifully into any room.'
B&Q's Alternative
B&Q's product is described as a 'Six Cube Hole Step Unit' that 'adds a touch of sophistication to any room.' The retailer highlights its durability and ample storage: 'Beautifully crafted with durable materials, this cabinet offers plenty of space to store away any items, from books and paperwork, to crafts and toys. The interesting shape provides you with six deep shelving spaces, three at the bottom, two in the middle, and one at the top, that you can accessorise with seasonal blooms, lamps and treasured ornaments to bring a personal touch to the room.'
B&Q also notes the unit is 'great for the playroom, living room or as under-stair storage,' helping to create a 'neat and tidy home.' It comes with a one-month guarantee. However, B&Q's website indicates the item is not available for click-and-collect, so shoppers must choose home delivery.
B&M advises customers to check local store stock for the cube unit, while B&Q's option is available for delivery only.
