<h1>Modular Storage Systems</h1>
117+
<p>
118+
If you are storing household items, books, games, or tools, it is almost always better to use an
119+
established modular system than to invent your own.

<h2>Why use a modular system?</h2>
126+
<ul>
127+
<li><strong>Expandable:</strong> add units later as your needs change.</li>
128+
<li><strong>Standardised:</strong> cheap inserts and accessories fit reliably.</li>
129+
<li><strong>Widely available:</strong> easy to replace damaged units or buy more.</li>

<h2>Kallax-style cube storage</h2>
135+
136+
<p>
137+
The <a href="https://www.ikea.com/nz/en/cat/kallax-series-27534/">IKEA Kallax series</a> is the most common
138+
example of this style. Bunnings sells a close equivalent under the
139+
<em>Flexi Storage Clever Cube</em> name.
140+
</p>
141+
142+
<div class="note">
143+
<strong>Important:</strong> Kallax-compatible units are <em>not</em> the same size as cube systems sold by
144+
The Warehouse or Kmart. Inserts are not interchangeable. Kmart and The Warehouse cubes are much smaller.
