So, I love the finished product. It fits perfectly in a small space and actually holds a decent amount of stuff in the spaces.
The downfall.... putting this thing together. I agree with other reviews that the directions are not 100% clear. You definitely have to use common sense and have a lot of patience. Regarding the dowels to help hold the parts together.. get some Gorilla Glue or other glue to help hold in place. There are no pre-drilled holes when attaching the back panel, I suggest holding the panel in place and make some starter holes with a small drill bit.
I had to leave the bottom drawer catch off because the drawer would not easily slide, no issues with the other drawer stops. The other thing that I fought with were the hinges... I just could not get that concept for some reason. I think I put them on and took them off 6 times, but that was operator error for sure.
Overall it is a great product. I initially ordered to use in my bathroom, but one of my daughters loved it and wanted it in her room. The drawers hold her make-up and hair products and the cabinet has misc. other items. The top of the cabinet had plenty of room for decorations she wanted on display.
I will be purchasing a second one for the bathroom.
Great Product / Assembly is a pain
