zBoards… I just love these products from waybasics.com
Quoted from waybasics.com
zBoards are created through a patented, proprietary process that’s revolutionized paperboard manufacturing. Developing this process took more than 10 years, and it combines techniques of plywood craftsmanship, paperboard composition, and furniture manufacturing. It leads to extremely sturdy yet lightweight boards that hold up to plenty of use, and we use a well recognized company as Shiply to deliver the furniture in a safe way without any issue.
What are zBoards made of?
Glad you asked – we’re proud to say that zBoards are made from 99% post-consumer waste paper. That means recycled paper that’s already been used, so we’re not chopping down any more trees to create zBoards. Also, we’re saving the enormous amounts of water that are used to make virgin paper. Our purpose was to eliminate as much environmental impact as possible and create a sustainable product. When you’re done with your Way Basics furniture (after long, long use), you can recycle it again by simply putting it in your recycling bin. The remaining 1% of the non-post-consumer material we use is the veneer paper in which the zBoard edges are wrapped. This is also completely recyclable.
The only “down side” for me, there are no local locations to me so there is shipping which isn’t exactly green but I can offset in other ways, so the advantages of using these is greater than the shipping effects.
My daughter has them in her room in black (can’t include a pic of that since it’s all her stuff) but here are a few pictures of different products I’ve bought from them.
They’re so easy to assemble. Remove the “film” over the adhesive and put together.
Woola, you’re done! It’s that easy!
They’re versatile too.
I use one cube as an “end table” which as you can see has my books, etc. on/in it.
I use another by the front door for the kids to put their shoes (note most the shoes in this pic are my daughters–go figure! I own 2 pairs of shoes…both lower left…yoga sandles and sneakers!)
Note the LED light there. It has an automatic on/off light sensor so it goes on when it’s dark and off when it’s light out automatically. (pretty cool!) No more need to leave a light on so you can see when you come in your door! This works perfectly.
and we have lots of these shelves (and yes, lots of dvd’s too!)
Note: the warmer on the shelf, it’s great with water & essential oils in it!
We have others as well that hold all of my daughter’s books, etc. but can’t take a pic of that one right now either as it’s blocked by all the materials I’m using to build Edward a new rabbit house.
But you get the idea:
these are versatile
come in different colors & shapes
easy to assemble
and eco friendly!
You can get yours at WayBasics.com and the customer service ROCKS!
Irene and the others there are attentive to everything! First big company that I’ve ENJOYED purchasing from in a long time! They’re on phone and quick on emails too. Wonderful all the way around!
Those are great! I’ve never heard of zboards, but I can see how versatile they are. I may need to find some. Thanks for sharing.
