The Create Room Cubby is a modular storage unit designed to help users organize their homes efficiently. It utilizes a cam and post locking system for assembly, ensuring a secure and stable structure. The cubby is designed to be built by two people, emphasizing the need for assistance during the assembly process to ensure safety and ease of construction.

Function Description:

The Create Room Cubby serves as a versatile storage solution for home organization. Its primary function is to provide structured storage space, which can be customized with tracks and shelves, as well as DiviDrawers (sold separately) for a personalized organizational planogram. The cubby is designed to be anchored to a wall for stability and safety, preventing accidental tipping. Additionally, multiple cubbies can be stacked on top of each other using a connecting plate, allowing for vertical expansion of storage space to accommodate growing organizational needs. The product aims to simplify home organization by offering a robust and adaptable storage system.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific dimensions and material details are not explicitly listed in the provided manual pages, the hardware list gives an indication of the construction components:

Posts: 12 units
Dowels: 8 units
25mm Euro Screws: 6 units (used for fastening back panels)
Cams: 12 units (for posts) + 6 units (for base) + 6 units (for lid) = 24 units total
Connecting Bolts: 4 units (for side panels) + 2 units (for base) = 6 units total
Anchors: 2 units (for wall mounting)
Connecting Plate: 1 unit (for stacking multiple cubbies)
5/8" Self-tapping Screws: 16 units (for connecting plate)

The locking system involves cams and posts, where posts are inserted into panels until a plastic sleeve touches the wood, and cams are then inserted with an arrow facing the post. The cams are gently turned 220 degrees clockwise to lock into position. This cam and post system is a common method for flat-pack furniture assembly, known for its ease of use and secure connections.

Usage Features:

Two-Person Assembly: The furniture is explicitly designed to be built with two people, highlighting the importance of having a friend or assistant during the assembly process. This ensures safer handling of components and easier alignment.
Modular Design: The cubby is designed to be modular, allowing for the insertion of tracks and shelves to create a customized internal layout. The manual also references a "DiviDrawer layout," suggesting compatibility with specific drawer inserts for enhanced organization.
Stackable: For users requiring more storage, multiple cubbies can be stacked vertically. A connecting plate and self-tapping screws are provided for securely fastening stacked units together, maximizing vertical space utilization.
Wall Anchoring: The cubby includes hardware for anchoring it to a wall, which is a crucial safety feature to prevent tipping, especially in households with children or pets. The manual provides detailed instructions for drywall anchoring, including drilling a pilot hole, screwing in a drywall anchor, and threading a metal wire through connector hardware with a barrel lock.
Documentation Encouragement: Users are encouraged to document their assembly experience with photos or videos and share "before" and "after" shots of their space. This fosters community engagement and allows users to showcase their organizational transformations.
Customer Support: Create Room provides comprehensive customer support via email (customerservice@createroom.com) and phone (USA/Canada: 801-226-2686, M-F 9AM-5PM MST), ensuring assistance is available for any assembly or product-related queries.

Maintenance Features:

The manual does not explicitly detail maintenance features or instructions for cleaning and upkeep. However, as a piece of furniture, general maintenance would likely involve:

Regular Cleaning: Wiping down surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
Checking Connections: Periodically checking the cam and post connections, as well as wall anchors, to ensure they remain tight and secure.
Careful Handling: Avoiding excessive weight or impact to prevent damage to the panels or structural integrity.

The Create Room Cubby is presented as a user-friendly and adaptable storage solution, emphasizing ease of assembly with assistance, safety through wall anchoring, and expandability for diverse organizational needs.
