Cube Unit with Storage Boxes
A home with young children doesn't have to choose between feeling organised and feeling lived in.
Some books deserve to be proudly displayed. Favourite puzzles should always be within easy reach. And the hundreds of little toys that somehow find their way into every room? They deserve a home too.
Our handcrafted Cube Unit with Storage Boxes is designed to bring calm to busy family spaces, combining open shelving with beautifully crafted storage boxes that keep everyday clutter close at hand, but neatly out of sight.
Designed for real family life, it's a piece that feels just as at home in your living room as it does in a playroom or bedroom, growing with your family for years to come.
Beautifully Organised Family Spaces
A tidy home with young children doesn't mean every toy disappears at the end of the day.
Sometimes it's simply about giving everything a place.
Our Cube Unit with Storage Boxes helps create organised spaces where favourite books and well-loved toys stay within easy reach, while everything else can be quickly tucked away, making everyday family life feel just that little bit calmer.
Because when everything has a place, there's a little more time for the moments that matter.
Encouraging Independence
If you're looking to bring Montessori principles into your home, accessible storage plays an important role.
Keeping books, toys and activity baskets at your child's height encourages independence, allowing children to choose what they'd like to play with, return everything to its place when they're finished, and gradually build confidence through everyday routines.
The combination of open shelving and concealed storage creates an environment that's calm, inviting and designed around your child's growing independence.
Thoughtful Details
* Smooth Gliding Storage Boxes
Every storage box is fitted with smooth gliding runners, making them easy for children to open and close, even when they're full of books or toys. It's one of those thoughtful details that encourages independence and makes everyday tidy ups just that little bit easier.
* Optional Solid Timber Legs
Available with optional solid timber legs, giving the unit a lighter, furniture inspired look while making it easier to clean underneath.
If you choose the Painted Throughout finish, the legs are painted to match as standard. If you'd prefer natural varnished legs instead, simply leave us a note at checkout.H3
* Open Shelving
Open shelves keep favourite books, puzzles and toys visible and within easy reach, encouraging children to make their own choices and helping tidy up time become part of everyday play.
* Designed for Everyday Living
The generous top surface creates space for lamps, family photos, favourite books or treasured keepsakes, helping the Cube Unit feel just as at home in your living spaces as it does in a bedroom or playroom.
Finish Options
Choose the finish that best suits your home.
1. Natural Varnish (Varnished Unit + Storage Boxes)
A timeless clear finish that celebrates the natural beauty of the timber.
2. Signature Combination (Varnished Unit + Painted Storage Boxes)
Our most popular finish, pairing a natural varnished Cube Unit with painted storage boxes. It's the look Grandpa's Workshop has become known for.
3. Painted Throughout (Painted Unit + Storage Boxes)
A fully painted Cube Unit and storage boxes for families looking to create a bold statement piece.
Whichever finish you choose, you can personalise your piece by selecting from our growing collection of Grandpa's Workshop colour palettes, carefully curated to coordinate beautifully across our furniture range.
Curated Colour Collections
Rather than choosing from hundreds of paint colours, we've created a collection of thoughtfully curated Grandpa's Workshop colour palettes inspired by nature, the coast and childhood itself.
Whether you're creating a calm neutral nursery, a colourful playroom or matching furniture throughout your home, every colour has been carefully selected to work beautifully together, making it easy to create a space that feels considered and uniquely yours.

Each open cube measures approximately 30cm (W) × 30cm (H) × 30cm (D).
