I purchased a number of those units to assemble for storage. I had read the reviews prior to purchase, and so also ordered the plastic ties along with it. The assembly went a bit slow at first, until I got the hang of it, and then it all worked very well. Turns out that I didn't quite need the tie clips -although once I settle into the use of the cubes, I will use the ties to "lock" them together. The plastic connectors do a fair job of holding the wire panels, though, and the resulting assembly is fairly study for clothing including jeans and pants. During assembly, it helps to squeeze the panels together to get a tight fit - but DO NOT STRIKE THEM or use too much force, as the plastic connectors are brittle and will snap with too much applied force. There are sufficient connectors available based on one's configuration of choice.I also combined different ones (black & white) for a nice design, and realized that the dimensions are not quite accurate, as what I had purchased indicated different dimensions, but they turned out to be exactly the same, and I would assume that is the same for the other differently branded ones once the general sizes are similar. Another thing, is that I also created some "double sized" sections with no center vertical support, and this also works well, as the single cube size is not optimum for storing of folded clothes - takes 1 stack easily, but not 2, however, a double easily takes 3 stacks, so I get more efficient use of the cubes.Planning to purchase more of them.
