Walmart $96 Organizer: It’s a Near-Perfect Dupe for IKEA’s Shelving Unit

There are certain stores you turn to when you need furniture in a pinch, and IKEA is definitely one of them. Not only do they have so many viable options for both first-time renters and seasoned apartment decorators alike, but their pieces are also timeless and affordable. In fact, it’s hard to find a desk, dresser, or bed at a lower price than what IKEA’s bestsellers go for, but we managed to do just that. It’ll likely come as no surprise to learn that we found a near-perfect dupe for one of IKEA’s most popular shelving units at Walmart, another delightfully budget-friendly retailer. The Better Homes & Gardens 8-cube organizer is perfect for just about any room of the home, whether that’s the living room, front entryway, or bedroom. Even better still, it’s currently on sale, and shoppers say it’s super sturdy! Keep reading to see why Walmart customers can’t get enough of this under-$100 shelving must-have.

It might be called an organizer, but this piece is essentially a shelving system with — you guessed it — eight cube-shaped cubbies for bins. The bins are sold separately, but you can easily find 13-inch by 15-inch cubby boxes at almost any home retailer, like Target, Walmart, or Amazon. Of course, you could also leave the cubbies empty and fill them with decor and other objects, including books, tech accessories, and art. After all, the beauty on the shelf lies in its versatility. You could use it to store toys in the kids’ room, work supplies in the office, or dishware in the dining room.

If this shelving system looks familiar, that’s because it strongly resembles IKEA’s Kallax unit, which currently retails for $34 more. Walmart shoppers also note that the organizer is strong and durable thanks to its iron frame and particleboard construction, and they enjoy that it comes in four neutral finishes. Although some reviewers note that the shelving unit can take a while to assemble, it comes with easy-to-follow instructions, as well as all the necessary tools, including a hammer and two screwdrivers.

It doesn’t matter if you want a display spot for pretty artwork or a functional shelf for at-home workout gear; the eight-cube organizer will simultaneously declutter the room and keep items within reach. Now that it’s on sale for under $100, you don’t want to wait too long before snagging your own.
