If you liked to play with Legos when you were a kid, you're in for a treat. Yube Cube, a sort of "Lego for adults," is a new furniture line that features cube furniture that can be assembled and arranged over and over again to suit decorating whims. Let's delve deeper.

Each cube is 13 by 13 inches and the blocks snap together easily. When the back panel is slid into place, the cube locks rigidly, creating a building-block system. You can create a wall of Yube Cubes to make a library, an accessory etagere or a room divider. Leave a single cube as a designer piece or stack them up to make a shelf. You can also leave them open in front, add in a drawer or stick on a door. The doors come in various colors and patterns. The cubes can sit on the floor flat or you can add legs.

Since Yube Cubes are new to the market, they adhere to the recyclable and biodegradable standards that are in demand today. The "ingredients" are interesting. The panels are made using reconstituted sugar-cane waste fibers and the frames are made of "woodlite," which is a moldable thermoplastic mixed with fiber made from bamboo and timber waste material.

Yube Cubes are great for first-time home buyers, young professionals or recent college graduates, to name a few. These would also work well in a child's room for categorized toy and game storage. How about in a closet under the hanging clothes for shoe storage?

Another great feature of Yube Cubes is that they can be decorated. Panels can be stenciled or painted on, and an online application allows you to upload any image and create a unique door for a personalized look.
