Do you realize how small 12x12x6” really is? 0.5cubic feet.

Now picture how many you’d need to fit all your stuff.

Now imagine having to unpack hundreds of tiny moving boxes lol

Next level Ikea.

It would be good for a kitchen. A 3ft cube box full of plates, glasses and coffee mugs gets pretty heavy.

That’s why those heavy breakables go in the dish barrels if you’re a professional or heavy duty small boxes if you’re a DIYer

I’m not saying it’s impossible just inefficient at “moving house” scale. My kitchen would need at least 100 of those to get packed. Then you have to move hundreds of small boxes….
