Warning: advertised dimensions are for the exterior / the interior depth is less than 11
First off: Yes, this mistake is entirely my fault.
I use our dining room table as a desk, so I wanted to have a small cabinet beside it to store my laptop, binders, notebooks, etc. during dinner. I chose this item because its small, and because it had windowless doors, so my mess could disappear.
Comparing products, one of my concerns was that it was deep enough to hold my binders (which are just under 12). Unfortunately, I didnt consider the space required for the two sliding doors. While the outer depth is about 13 (as described), the inside storage depth is just under 11. This is deep enough to hold my laptop, and notebooks (if theyre turned sideways), but not the binders.
Again, yes, this is my fault. And I am keeping the cabinet. Maybe Ill find or make a wooden box to hold the binders vertically, facing the front. It should easily hold everything else Id planned to hide in it.
Since this cabinet will be on my hardwood floor, Im going to add some felt padding to the five feet of the cabinet: one on each corner and one in the center.
Although its a little heavy, this was fairly easy for one person to assemble.
Addressing others complaints here .
Yes, the cabinet is small (like a childs cabinet, as one described), but the outer dimensions are accurate.
Someone wrote that they didnt get the hardware. Ive never seen furniture hardware shipped in such an oddly/shaped inner box, maybe 1 x 1 x 16, and I can see how it might accidentally get discarded.
Be sure to snap the top guides of each door into the upper track. Theres a little switch for each guide. This should keep the doors from falling out.
