Higher level of difficulty for assembly, a few quality issues
Okay I admit it, this thing was a bit of a beast to put together, there were a few things that werent labeled clearly enough. For example the metal draw slides have their numbers and letters imprinted into the metal and then it is painted over so that can take a while for you to find out which piece is which. Not impossible though and they are marked once you figure that out.
The instruction manual Id say is a good 7/10, only slightly confusing on assembly overall. There are a few photos that are added of how not to do something and they arent as clearly marked or referenced as such, I would have liked or thought a bigger picture of what to do right would be of better help.
Beyond a few assembly hangups the unit itself is pretty darn sturdy once fully assembled the sides are strong and meet up well and the draw slides work perfect.
There are a few just plain bad parts to this, the drawer bottoms are made of that thick cardboard instead of being any type of solid wood at all. Along with that yours will probably like mine already be pretty warped even upon opening the box and this will make inserting them in their tracks doubly difficult. Also you can forget about putting too much weight in any of the draws, without some type of re-enforcement done to them they are going to be pretty flimsy over all.
Also the wheels on it are honestly pretty much useless, they dont so much roll as they do just slide across your floor, Im not happy about this as mine is on a wood floor, but I honestly dont move it much if at all so this is not a deal breaker for me personally but if you want it to roll, well dont expect it to very well.
For the price the cheap wheels dont surprise me, the cardboard drawer bottoms though actually upset me, I probably shouldnt have expected them to be better but I was initially disappointed with those particular components. Because I wanted something that was wood instead of metal and this one was sized perfect for where I needed it to fit under the table it works nicely for my uses.
