Nice Job Team!
What is the composition? I’m assuming it’s wood composite with plastic laminate.
Are the brackets individual? …one per cube?
Any options on singles? so we can have a 2×2, 4×4 or 4×5 layout? (4,16,20)
Add more pics of larger layouts. The more there are, the nicer the design.

If you’re looking to sell these, I think it would really help to put some more specifics into the product information page.
Such as … what are these made of? Wood? Plastic?
Does the mounting system work on a block by block basis, so I can make any shelf shape I want? Or is it in multi-block sections?
What is the final colour range going to be?
Do they come flat packed, so I’ll have to assemble? Or are they a solid unit?
I mean, these are questions that non-quirky customers are going to want to know.
I could say the same of most other products in the quirky store.
Please give potential customers a little bit more information in a little more formal way.

@peter – sorry for delay. here are some answers to your questions:
The blocks are made of Particle board/MDF core – encased in a plastic laminate .
The mounting system works on a block by block basis. Each “block” or Qubicle can be rotated around to produce multiple shape configurations to alter its relative position in the set(s).
As for colors: the images on the product page display the current color families. We will work towards more color families as we move this product into production.
Thanks!

@nikki – Sorry to be a pest with the questions, just that I really like the product, and I’d like to know more about the specifics.
For example, on the product image, you seem to be able to see a join line. That’s what prompted the question regarding if the product was shipped flat for assembly, or pre-assembled. I would have thought that a pre-assembled unit would not have had those join lines?
Also, with the mounting rail … I’m wondering why, if the mounts are on a square by square basis, there is a recess in the edge that seems to indicate that the mount runs as a single strip behind multiple squares.
Again, this may just be because of the images, but I think that updating the product details with an example of mounting a square, along with other associated information. As an example, what is the maximum weight the mounts will safely hold?
Speaking of mounts, what are they made from? Aluminium? Plastic?
Again, sorry for all the questions, but I (and many other internet shoppers) find it difficult to commit to a product which we can’t physically inspect before purchase. The more information we have, the more likely to attract buyers.
Cheers.

@Peter,
It is flat packed, and does not come pre assembled.
There is a single strip behind three horizontal squares. The strip is a steel strip– They will hold about 15 to 20 pounds per square- at least thats how its been designed thus far.
