How to build a Click’n Tile cube

Are you up for some DIY furniture building?

Our Click’n Tile cubes are a fan favorite—but many think they’re hard to make. The truth? They’re simple and fun to build! Here’s your step-by-step guide to creating a stylish and functional cube:

Materials needed:

• MDF veneer sheets (must match these dimensions):
  • 1 piece: 49.8 × 49.8 × 0.9 cm (top plate)
  • 2 pieces: 49.8 × 50 × 0.9 cm (large side panels)
  • 2 pieces: 48 × 50 × 0.9 cm (small side panels)
• Wooden moulding (square, 1.5 × 1.5 cm):
  • 4 pieces: 20 cm (for the top plate)
  • 4 pieces: 45 cm (for the side panels)
• Wood glue
• 48 wood screws (2mm × 20mm)
• Click’n Tile set:
  • 2 large mounting plates
  • 125 tiles (10×10 cm) – 25 tiles per side
  • 2 tubes of mounting adhesive
  • 1 suction cup

Step 1: Prepare Your MDF Boards

Sort your MDF boards into three stacks to avoid mixing them up.

Step 2: Attach Wooden Mouldings

1. Take the two small side panels (48 × 50 cm).
2. On both 50 cm edges, glue and screw a 1.5 × 1.5 × 45 cm wooden moulding.
3. Attach a small wooden moulding along the edge that meets the top plate—it should run parallel to the edge without sticking out or being too far inside.
4. Now, take the large side panels (49.8 × 50 cm) and attach a small wooden moulding along the 48 cm edge.
5. Let the glue dry.

Step 3: Assemble the Frame

1. Connect one large and one small side panel to form a square tube (49.8 × 49.8 cm, 50 cm high).
2. Ensure the small mouldings face upwards.
3. Glue and screw the panels together, then let the glue dry.

Step 4: Attach the Top Plate

1. Position the top plate (49.8 × 49.8 cm) over the side panels, aligning it with the small wooden mouldings.
2. Glue and screw it in place.
3. You now have a wooden cube measuring 49.8 × 49.8 × 50.9 cm.

Step 5: Prepare the Mounting Plates

1. Cut the mounting plates to 49 × 49 cm (they must not be visible once the tiles are installed).
2. Attach tiles to all five mounting plates.

Step 6: Install the Tiles

1. Flip the tiled mounting plates over and apply mounting adhesive.
2. Attach each plate to the corresponding side of your cube, ensuring tiles are properly spaced and not overlapping.
3. Press firmly to secure them.
4. Use painter’s tape if needed to hold everything in place while the adhesive dries.

Congratulations! You’ve built a Click’n Tile Cube! ????
