Build, rebuild,
build differently
Without any tools and in no time at all
Clear design and fair production are our fundamental principles. With our workshop in Berlin Wedding, we have kept our feet firmly on the ground: Based on height-adjustable base plates, our modules can be easily connected with our innovative clip system. The system is designed in such a way that it can be expanded as required and grows with the collections. Are you moving? No problem either! The shelving systems can be easily dismantled and reassembled to suit the new space. So you always have exactly as much storage space as you need!
Our shelving system trio
Base plate
To ensure that your new design classic stands securely, we generally recommend our height-adjustable base plates. This compensates for even the smallest amount of unevenness and lays the perfect foundation.
Cube
Our shelf cubes are delivered already completely assembled and only need to be stacked on the base plates. Whether you stack them on top of each other or wildly mixed together, you decide - you can create a new set-up whenever you want!
Clip
The clip connect the individual shelf modules to each other easily, no need for any tools. If you want them to be eye-catching, they can be attached at the front, or discreetly from behind. They can be removed again at any time if required.

Tips for planning your shelving system
1:1 module
The square 1:1 modules are our classic all-rounders. They are the perfect size for records, file folders, magazines and larger bound books.
2:3 module
The 2:3 module is our module for paperbacks and DVDs. Turned upside down, it's as high as the 1:1 module, another all-rounder. The 2:3 module in half depth is particularly suitable for niche objects, and it's the exact depth as a paperback book or a DVD.
2:1 module
The 2:1 module offers a particularly large amount of storage space and can also be used to store very large illustrated books or vases. Due to its long upper sides, they can bend under heavier loads and should therefore be used in the upper part of the shelf.
Wall shelf
Almost all modules are also suitable as wall shelves. The wall suspension can be ordered at first, or added later. We provide strips with our modules, which are then hung together on the wall. 2:3 or 1:2 modules can be hung on both the short and long sides.
Slide-in modules & colors
Our slide-in units are available in matching sizes for our 1:1, 1:2 and 2:3 modules in white, black as well as in our six colors. These are fixed boxes that can be flexibly inserted into each module and removed as needed. This means they can also be reordered at any time and used in a particularly versatile way.
HiFi & LP modules
For all turntable rockers we have the all-round carefree equipment for your entire collection: special HiFi modules and shelf supports, flip-through boxes for LPs and singles and of course, the perfect shelf modules that can grow with your collection.
Want to see for yourself?
Sometimes you just want to feel the material and hold the colors against your own living room wall before you decide on a particular combination of cubes. Simply order your stocubo sample kit now, consisting of a 1:1 cube, color samples of all our colors, and both an aluminum and a plastic clip.
This is how stocubo looks for our customers

Frequently asked questions about our shelving systems
How do I build my shelving system?
The assembly is very simple: stack your cubes and attach the clips to keep it stabilized, either as a visible design element in the front or invisible, attached to the back. That's it! The only tools you'll need are for attaching wall shelves and aligning the base plates. The cubes themselves are delivered already assembled. You can read more about stacking in our tips for assembly.
Do I need base plates for my shelving systems?
Not necessarily. However, base plates are a good idea for uneven floors: with their height-adjustable feet, they compensate for unevenness so that the cubes can stand firmly and securely on them, no matter how high the shelf is. We recommend base plates especially for old buildings, which often have slightly sloped floors, and for shelves that have doors in the bottom row, as otherwise they will not open well.
What can and cannot be retrofitted?
Slide-in boxes, doors, small drawers and wall mounts can be reordered at any time via our shop. If required, you will then receive a small set of instructions and, if necessary, a drilling template for attaching the doors or wall mountings. You can also replace the doors later in two simple steps if you would like to bring a new colour into your home. The wide double-width drawers, on the other hand, cannot be retrofitted as they run on rails and the modules therefore require special drill holes. LED strips cannot be retrofitted either, as a suitable recess must be milled into the top of the module for them. As base plates and plates on wheels are milled from MDF boards of different thicknesses, these cannot be retrofitted at will either. However, these can of course be easily reordered in the online shop.
Are the clips included in the scope of delivery?
The connecting clips are not automatically included in the scope of delivery. In our configurator, however, we suggest the recommended number of connecting clips, which are then automatically added to the shopping cart. You still have the choice between plastic clips in different colors and aluminum clips, which are particularly recommended for visible clipping from the front. In principle, all shelves can be clipped invisibly from behind.
Are the Cubes suitable for sitting?
Our cubes can be used as seating up to the size of a 1:1 without any problems. The wider 2:1 modules are not suitable for sitting due to their long, self-supporting bases, as these would otherwise bend. For a bench seat, we recommend placing the individual modules on one or more base plates and clamping them well on all sides. Additional Anti-Slip-Pads may also be recommended to prevent the modules from shifting due to frequent movement. Unfortunately, 2:1 plates on wheels are not suitable as a bench, as they could also bend due to the weight.
What should I consider when fixing the shelving systems to the wall?
Individual modules can also be attached to the wall in just a few steps. For this purpose, you can simply order a wall suspension. You will then receive a rail that is attached to the wall with two screws. The cube is provided by us with a bar that can be easily hooked into the rail. Whether you hang rectangular modules vertically or horizontally is entirely up to you. You can find more information in our FAQs.
Do I need an additional wall mount?
Normally, no. Our shelving systems are stable and able to hold weight even when built up high, especially if they are generously fixed with clips. If you want to be on the safe side, for example when you have a large wall shelf filled with a lot of books, you can also use L-brackets from the hardware store as anti-tippers for the top row. Our wall suspensions, on the other hand, are not suitable as anti-tilt protection as they cannot be combined with stacking shelves.
Can I place a television on the cubes?
With stocubo, you can plan a TV board entirely according to your needs. If you want to place a TV on the modules, we recommend that you do not use 2:1 cubes directly below it, as these can only bear a limited load due to the long, self-supporting surfaces. However, all other modules can be loaded with a large television without any problems. Alternatively, you can also use our cover plate in sizes 2:1 to 4:1 on 2:1 cubes or as a finish over the entire TV board. This cover plate is designed to support even heavy weights.
Can I use the modules in the bathroom?
Our modules can also be used in the bathroom without any problems. The only thing you should avoid is splashing water directly onto the open edges. If the edges become slightly discolored due to wet hands, you can simply freshen them up again with a little sandpaper.
How will my shelving systems be delivered?
Built and ready to go! The individual cubes are already completely assembled by us, so you only have to stack them. Your shelving system will be delivered either by DHL GoGreen (small orders) or by freight forwarding (larger orders). Within Berlin, we usually deliver with Cosmo courier. Alternatively, you can pick up your order in person. You can contact us at any time to arrange this.
Why can't the cubes be dispatched faster?
We are a manufactory in the centre of Berlin with limited capacities and very small storage areas. In order to utilise these as efficiently as possible and avoid overproduction, we manufacture the modules exclusively to order and by hand. This can lead to slightly longer delivery times during peak periods, but it is usually still quite quick. You can find out more about us and our production here.
How do I care for my shelving systems?
Our shelving systems are robust and easy to clean: it's enough to simply go over them with a feather duster or a damp cloth from time to time. You do not necessarily have to remove books or plates from the shelf for this, and you don't need cleaning spray for this either. For uncoated modules, small stains can be carefully sanded away with fine sandpaper.
