8 Storage Cubes to Hide Toys, Shoes, Blankets, and More (2024)

Our Top Picks

Our best overall storage cube is the Way Basics Eco Stackable Connect Cube Organizer with Door. This multi-functional box storage cube is the ideal size for storing shoes, clothes, blankets, books, and more.

It’s sleek and stylish enough to work as a standalone cube that can double as a side table or a nightstand. Plus, it’s part of the brand’s modular range, so the stackable design allows you to create a custom storage unit depending on your space and needs. Each cube is sold separately, so it may be an investment if you’re looking for a bigger storage unit.

The 50-pound weight limit makes this cube ideal for stashing away heavy-duty items, and the easy-to-close door conceals any unsightliness you’d like to keep hidden. Each of the five color ways—white, black, espresso, gray, and natural—blends seamlessly with any aesthetic, which is why we think it's the perfect choice!

If you’re looking for the best value, consider the FabTotes Storage Bins. Each set comes in a pack of six and has been designed to hold just about anything, including towels, blankets, toys, and books.

The cubes are made with lightweight, easy-to-clean fabric material and have removable cardboard inserts for reinforcement. Ideal for smaller spaces, the cubes are collapsible when not in use and easily take shape once they have been popped open. They're equipped with tear-resistant handles on two sides so it's easy to lift or slide the units when full.

While the geometrical pattern adds charm and personality to any space, the limited color options may not suit some design preferences. They are also available in dark gray with a geometric design, light gray with a geometric design, or plain gray without a pattern.

Just note that there may be a slight chemical smell when the boxes are first opened, but this quickly dissipates once they have been taken out of the packaging to air out.

Versatile and pleasing to the eye, these foldable and collapsible linen fabric storage cubes are a great investment. Made from a soft and lightweight linen-polyester blend, these cubes come with a removable cardboard insert to divide your box into two sections.

This allows you to efficiently divide clothes or separate bed sheet sets. The VELCRO lid makes for easy access, but be aware that it can lose its stickiness over time if it gets built up with dust and fibers.

The black colorway is a classic choice for those looking for a sleek set of storage cubes that can be a decor piece in their own right. The other brighter color combinations will add a pop of personality to playrooms and kids’ bedrooms.

We love that these are super easy to assemble and can be collapsed when they’re not being used, meaning they’re a wonderful option for those in a small space. The reinforced handles make carrying them a breeze, no matter what you decide to store, and the leather detailing adds a luxurious finish. Just note that these units are 16.5 x 11.8 x 9.8 inches, so they are fairly sizable.

The Simply Tidy Modular Cube is great for those who prefer a shelf-like system. The adjustable shelf can be switched between three positions depending on your storage needs, or you can stack multiple units together for a customized look.

You do need to assemble this unit at home, but it comes with everything you need to successfully build it. While we wish there were more colors available, the white colorway is sleek and sophisticated enough for most styles and aesthetics.

This cube will look great in any room, whether you’re using it as a bookshelf in the bedroom, a filing cabinet in the office, or a closet-toy hybrid for the kids’ room.Overall, we love the versatility of this piece.

Clear storage bins have plenty of advantages, which is why we love the Storage Organizer Plastic Bin Set from The Container Store. This pack comes with two identical deep storage bins for storing clothes, toys, blankets, bedding, books, and more—the possibilities are endless.

The clear design allows you to see exactly what’s inside your storage bins, but it may require you to stack things a little neater. So, if your folding skills aren’t up to par, the clear finish may not be to your taste.

Each bin has a weight capacity of 15 pounds and comes with two handles for easy carrying. The durable latched lid keeps everything secure while allowing you to stack the boxes on top of one another to save precious floor or closet space.

We're big fans of the gorgeous Herringbone Cube from The Container Store. Stylish, right? We think so, too. Crafted from fabric-wrapped cardboard and wood, the lightweight yet sturdy design comes pre-assembled.

The cubes are available in two sizes, which fit most cubbies and on closet shelves. The wooden handles are a nice touch, and unlike many fabric storage bins, this one has a removable lid. We think that's perfect for hiding any clutter.

Your guests are sure to "ohh" and "ahh" over these organizers. Stuff them with office supplies, tiny toys, and small collections, then display them front and center in your living room or an entryway.

_{Dimensions: 10 x 10 x 10 inches, 12 x 12 x 12 inches | Cubes: 1 | Material: Fabric, cardboard, wood | Color: Gray, natural | Assembly Required: No}

Misslo’s 100L Large Blanket Storage Bag is a great solution for those who need somewhere to store extra bedding or blankets. It has a double-zipper lid, reinforced handles for lifting and transportation, and a clear PVC window for easy viewing.

The cube has a 50-pound weight limit and can hold up to 100 liters worth of items. It can also store two comforters or five blankets; six pillows or 30 clothing items.

It also works well for those who are often on the go and need to transport bulkier bedding items from place to place, whether to a college dorm or a new house.

The Sorbus Storage Bins with Metal Frame combine the best feature of plastic bins (their rigidity) with the lightweight nature of fabric storage cubes. These bins arrived compressed in their packaging, but the wireframe pops into place, allowing the bin to maintain its shape for stacking.

This also protects the items inside, so you can easily store breakable toys or heirlooms in these bins too. However, we love their versatility for storing clothes, especially given the two zipper components: one on the top and one at the front.

There's even a small plastic slot for you to write a label and keep things extra organized. The clear front also makes it easy to see what you have stored inside the bin.

Our only concern is that delicate fabrics may be pinched or snagged by the wires, so we don't recommend storing your fluffy sweater in this particular bin.

Final Verdict

Way Basics takes the crown as our best overall storage cube. The brand’s Eco Stackable Connect Storage Cube Cubby Organizer with Door has a generous 50-pound weight limit for its smaller size and the no-tool assembly makes setting it up a breeze. For our best fabric option, a lightweight storage cube like the Senbowe Linen Fabric Foldable Collapsible Storage Cube Bin is your best bet. It comes in a set of four, is easy to clean, and has reinforced handles and lids for secure storage.
