Rubik’s cube tower for kids playroom

Rubik’s cube is an interesting game which has been very famous since its inception, decades ago. Makendo, an instructor, has creatively used the Rubik’s cube design on a cabinet. In fact, he designed it for his son. He has also shared the step-by-step instructions on creating a new Rubik’s cube cabinet on the ‘Instructables’ website. Parents from any part of the world can create this fun product for their kids. Rubik’s cube cabinet creates a fun-filled learning environment for kids. However, they should be able to collect the right raw material for making this cabinet.

Freaky design

Rubik’s cube drawer is quite different from the conventional design. Plywood is used as the drawer material because of its lightweight and prominent strength. Like the Rubik’s cube, colored squares are present around the product. However, they are found on five of the faces only because the bottom face will stay in touch with the floor always. As a result, the drawer will be rotatable in horizontal axis only. This is one of the distinct concept of this cabinet.

The absence of handles or pullers in an explicit style makes the viewers puzzled about this product’s purpose. Makendo has used a clever technique to lock the drawers in their closed position so as to avoid minor accidents. Each individual square on the product’s grid is also made of plywood. These possess a dimension of 9×9 inches. Makendo has used bright Yellow, Orange, Blue, Green and Red colors for the individual squares. However, users can choose their favorite colors while making their own cabinet.

There are three extendable drawers, one in each horizontal row. These drawers can be used to store notepads and textbooks. However, placing heavy items in the drawer might make it a little difficult to rotate along the horizontal axis. To mention, it is quite difficult to realize which face has the actual drawer. The individual squares are identifiable with an ease as the black color painted on the plywood creates a thin line that represents the grid lines boldly.

Geeky concept

You might have wondered about how this cabinet could be used as a Rubik’s cube without having squares on one face. The lack of rotation in the vertical axis makes the viewers further puzzled. That’s where Makendo expressed his creativity to provide a game that matches a Rubik’s cube. Though, the game on this cabinet is not exactly same as the one in Rubik’s cube, it is quite unique and funny than the original one.

To understand the concept clearly, imagine what you will feel when you find it very difficult to solve the game on the Rubik’s cube. Undoubtedly, at one point, you would have imagined what if you had the option to pick the individual squares out from the box and replace them on the matching face. Well, it sounds quite difficult for the actual Rubik’s cube. Surprisingly, that’s the actual concept of this cabinet. The individual squares can be taken off from the cabinet and placed on the respective faces according to their colors.

Makendo has used magnets to affix the individual squares. Whenever kids wish to set the cube, they can simply pull of the individual square and arrange them on the respective faces. You can stun your guests with this cabinet because they might be unaware of its concept. To mention, Lazy Susan is literally a rotating tray that provides a horizontal rotation for the objects placed above it. For the three rows of the drawer, two Lazy Susans are placed as if they were sandwiched between them. The final creation is an amazingly big Rubik’s cube cabinet for your lovely kids.
