The Blu Dot Chicago series has garnered press and recognition world-wide. One of the most recognizable pieces in the Chicago series is a versatile shelving unit, the Chicago 8 Box. This Blu Dot Chicago piece is a smart shelving unit that provides multiple storage options in a stylish way. Named for the eight boxes that are joined together to form a shelving wall, the Chicago 8 Box is an ingenious design by Blu Dot. Blu Dot designers created the shelving unit in a way so that every aspect of the wall could essentially be used for storage or as display space. The negative space created between the eight boxes can serve both a purpose and function if desired. This unit serves as a great solution for those looking for a contemporary piece of furniture that will help with organization and storage. If you are looking for a shelving unit that is stylish, affordable, and functional, the Chicago 8 Box is worth your consideration. Customers of this product have found a home for their shelving unit in bedrooms, offices, living rooms, and libraries. The wide variety of locations in the home or office where this unit can be placed demonstrates how versatile and adaptable the 8 Box truly is. While many 8 Box owners place their unit against a wall, some customers have found the Blu Dot Chicago 8 Box serves as a great space divider in a larger room. With an 8 Box shelving unit, the options are endless. Blu Dot designer and co-founder, John Christakos, is a big fan of the company's shelving unit. While he acknowledged it's hard to pick just one favorite Blu Dot product, he explained during a 2007 interview that the Blu Dot Chicago 8 Box was probably his favorite piece the company had ever designed. Christakos recognized that his feelings could be partly sentimental. After all, the 8 Box was one of the first designs Blu Dot created. However, he predicted that this piece could be one of the company's most enduring designs over time, speaking to the longevity of the product itself. The eight-sectioned shelving piece is available in four different colored woods: cherry, white oak, graphite on oak or maple veneer. Regardless of the color chosen, all of these Blu Dot shelving units come with tubular steel legs, which are sturdy, durable and thin. When assembling the 8 Box shelving unit, Blu Dot recommends using the buddy system and having another person available to help with the set up. Using a cam lock hardware system, the Blu Dot Chicago 8 Box can be assembled easily, thanks to the clear assembly instructions available on our website. Once assembled, the unit will stand 74.5 inches high and 94 inches wide, while the shelves are 12 inches deep. This Blu Dot shelving unit comes with a one-year warranty, the standard warranty given to all Blu Dot furniture. Blu Dot strives to make durable, long-lasting products that fit well in contemporary spaces, and they certainly have succeeded with the 8 Box.
