Pros: inexpensive for first-timers to try, lightweight, holds more than one would think, keeps items sorted and laundry separate, zippers well-sewn, helps me stay somewhat organized despite unpredictable storage situations during a trip, then makes packing up a breeze. The 8-cube set was perfect. I think one was lined for moist items. I found them to be sturdy, though they look deceptively flimsy.
The only con: nothing on the outside to signify what’s inside, and you can’t easily eyeball the contents. But that can be solved with a marker. I think I will number them, then keep a list of that trip’s numbered categories on my phone.
I went on two cruises this fall; one to a cool climate; one ti a tropical. The first one was without cubes, and drawer space was inadequate. It was a confusing mess, pawing through stacks of clothes. By the end of the trip, my belongings were a confusing mess and I couldn’t find things.
I would add that even on prior trips where hangers and drawer space was adequate, it has been challenging hard to keep tabs on my stuff.
I am not trying to sell these things, and my review might drive the price up, but I am telling you these are great.
Since June, I also traveled to a location in Vegas. The second trip was with the cubes. On that trip, I only unpacked toiletries, underwear, and hanging clothes. Stood the cubes up in the suitcases and used clothes straight out of the cubes.
On the tropical cruise, I unpacked underthings and toiletries and lined my cubes up sequentially on a high closet shelf, letting others take the drawers. I learned to avoid early-morning-unmarked-cube-hassle by taking out of the cubes each night what I meant to put on the next the morning (before coffee, egad).
After arriving home and resting up for The Dreaded Unpacking, I grabbed a stack of velvet hangers (also affordable on Amazon) and unpacking was so much easier
However, unpacking *would have been a breeze* had the cubes been marked. Then, I would not have hurriedly jammed things into the wrong cubes, mixing up pants and tops.
Highly recommend trying these!!!!
