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

By	st (AR) - See all my reviews

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

By	kennancat "kennancat" (Orlando, FL United States) - See all my reviews

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 A book of pictures, April 6, 2008

By	Clinton R. James (Stillwater, Oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was hoping for a little bit more from this book but as it turned out it was just a book of pictures of really nifty cubes. I was hoping that there would be a bit more in the way of ideas and suggestions but for the most part if you are looking to dress up a drab workspace this is for you.
