From the Manufacturer

Q: Can I take apart or disassemble Way Basics?
A: The zBoard storage line is assembled with 3M industrial adhesive so once it's assembled it's very secure and cannot be taken apart.

Q: Are Way Basics products stackable?
A: Stacking is perfectly fine as long as the units are assembled and used per assembly guides just make sure to attach units together using 3M adhesive.

Q: How do I assemble Way Basics furniture?
A: Peel, stick, done! Assembling Way Basics is fun, easy, requires no tools and best of all, is frustration-free. Our zBoards attach to each other with industrial-strength, double-sided adhesive strips from 3M. Your package includes an assembly guide with step-by-step pictorials. You can also follow this link to our help page for assembly videos and assembly guides.

Q: Is the backer board required?
A: The backing board is instrumental to providing the overall structural integrity of your Way Basics Products. Choosing to not use it will make the product susceptible to collapse. The backing board is like the spine that holds the product together.

Q: How should I care for my Way Basics furniture?
A: Just wipe it clean with a damp cloth using plain or slightly soapy water." Sharp or pointed objects can scratch the paper veneer, so take special care!

Q: How strong is the double-sided adhesive tape?
A: Very, very strong! We use only 3M brand industrial-strength adhesive tape on our products. To take full advantage of all that sticking power and get optimum adhesion, make sure your bonding adhesive surfaces are clean, dry, and properly joined. It works best if you put together your furniture in a room that's between 70° F to 100° F (21° C to 38° C). This super tape's bonds get stronger during the first 24 hours, place objects on top of your unit to adhere to the adhesive and keep in place.

Q: Can I recycle Way Basics furniture when I'm done with it?
A: Absolutely. All our products are made from paper, so at the end of its useful life, you can just recycle it in your curbside bin. Your furniture might even find its way back to Way Basics to begin another life as a new zBoard unit!

Q: Does Way Basics furniture off-gas or container formaldehyde?
A: No, Way Basics furniture does not "off-gas," contain formaldehyde or other toxic ingredients. Off-gasing occurs in the manufacturing process of particle board and MDF in which various types of formaldehyde are used.

Q: Is the Way Basics packaging recycled too?
A: Since packaging is just used to safely transport and protect your furniture, we'd rather keep it basic, recycled, and completely recyclable to ease the load on our environment. Please reuse or recycle your packaging when you're done with it.

Q: My zBoard has minor residue/blemishes, is this normal?
A: This is normal and is caused by friction from packaging materials we use to keep your product safe during shipping. To get your zBoards zesty clean, just wipe off with a slightly damp cloth and voila, problem solved! If it still doesn't come off or looks like damage, please contact us with your information here and select the product service icon.

Q: Where is Way Basics furniture manufactured?
A: Way Basics furniture is made on the beautiful island of Taiwan. Taiwan inherited advanced paper engineering and manufacturing processes enabling 74% of total paper production to come from recycled paper. Taiwan is also very eco-conscious recycling 55% of paper used, compared to 35% here in the United States. The Way Basics zBoard is non-toxic and contains no VOC or formaldehyde so it's safe for your home and our environment!

Q: Can Way Basics zBoards be painted?
A: Our products are paintable, but you will need to prepare the surface first before doing so. Make sure the surface is dry and free of any dust or other material that may hinder the adhesion of the paint. It will also be necessary to use a primer on the surface before painting to assure you get the best possible result. Because our products are water-resistant, painting directly on the boards without a primer will create the paint to “bead up” similar to what may happen if water comes into contact with the surface. When choosing a primer, we recommend using a product that will bond to surfaces such as paper, formica or a similar nonporous material. As long as you use a good primer, you will be able to use water-based paint and paint the product to your liking. Please note that painting Way Basics products are at your own risk with no returns or exchanges.

Q: Can Way Basics zBoard be in humid environments?
A: Humidity is not a problem unless moisture eventually builds up on the zBoard surface, which can lead to damage.

Q: What kind of glue do you use in manufacturing zBoards?
A: We use water-based glue that is completely environmentally friendly and recyclable too!

Q: Are zBoards water-resistant?
A: Yes, the exterior layers of the board are treated with a water-resistant material just like other finished wood veneers. If water gets on the zBoard surface, it will dry (though of course, it's best if you wipe it up like all spills). You'll want to keep water away from the furniture's edges and corners where it's a little more vulnerable to moisture. Again, we hate to sound like your mom, but if water spills, just wipe it up :)
