4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly useful, September 16, 2006

By 

st (AR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cube Chic (Paperback)

I loved this book--and, while I'm certainly not going to work in a Tiki-flavored cube and expect a promotion, the ideas weren't terribly impractical for my home office (zen cube) and my kids' rooms (garden cube), guest bathroom (modified safari cube), so if you're looking for fresh and interesting ideas for small spaces, this book is for you.
PS--most of the ideas aren't too over-the top--certainly the garden cube is a bit much, the nap cube might send the wrong message(cereal dispenser, cot), but there are several ideas that are both fabulous and practical and won't elicit strange looks from coworkers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas to get rid of your boring gray cube!, June 25, 2006

This review is from: Cube Chic (Paperback)

It's great for gathering some interesting ideas for improving the standard-issue cube. Most of the finished cubes are way too over the top to really do, but I think the tips are useful for how to copy some of the things they did, plus they have a resources list in the back if you want to visit the websites they used. I'm definitely planning to use this book for inspiration to make my workspace more fun. Even if you never actually change anything in your area, this book is still good for laughs - use it as a "cube"-table book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining not practical, March 29, 2007

This review is from: Cube Chic (Paperback)

The book was entertaining to look at but the designs were too tacky and themed. I was hoping for less over the top ideas and something more practical and classy. Most of the design ideas would get the bosses upset or be the laugh of my neighbor cubies.
