Our multi-functional Wooden Cubes are crafted from sustainable Paulownia wood for beautiful and durable storage perfect for storing magazines or books. And you'll love how our Cubes are sized to fit a variety of our shelving options. And since they're a cube shape, they can hold a wide range of items in any room. Interior dimensions- Small cube: 9-3/8" sq x 9-5/8" h Large cube: 12x12: 11-3/8" sq x 11-5/8" h We measure from side to side and list those dimensions first. The next dimensions listed are from front to back. These dimensions are of the exterior (not the interior) of each product, including any handles or rims. We don't state length and width because most products can be turned either way. Crafted from lightweight Paulownia wood, an easily renewable resource. Resistant to warping and humidity. Integrated handles. Only at The Container Store.
