Whether you need extra storage in your kid’s bedroom closet or your entryway, a cube cubby storage system is an easy solution that looks great. I added rattan to the back for a customized look that screams boho. I also love using natural elements in my decor, and rattan is a great way to do just that.

Safety Considerations
During the cutting, sanding, nailing and finishing of the wood components for this project, make sure to wear appropriate eye, ear and dust protection.
Cut wood pieces and lay out rattan
Cut the wood pieces and trim from the cutting list above using a miter saw. Take your time at the home center to select straight lumber that’s free of large knots or cracks in crucial locations.
For the rattan, it needs to cover at least 26-1/4-in. by 38-1/4-in. It’s unlikely you’ll find these exact measurements. I had to purchase two pieces of rattan and cut them to fit each side of the cubby. When working with two pieces of rattan, you need the seam to align so you can hide it behind a shelf or divider, which can be challenging.
