Experience:
Update: original review is still valid but I did contact the mfg. And they offered a partial refund or opt to replace. I opted to replace. This ment I had to disassembled and return the first one...a time consuming choice but the second one worked much better with no defects, also used a square to ensure everything lined up before attaching back and made the tacking on of the back the last step in assemble to ensure bins were evenly aligned. Looks great, functions well. Happy with the results just not the whole process getting here. 5 stars for customer service, 3 for the product.
Orig. Review,:
First off I have assembled and disassembled stuff for decades, basically part of my job as a field tech for 27years and yet Assembly took me a full 2 hours. All particle board, only the top of bench is MDF, back boards are basically cardboard. The pin and rotating lock nut are poor quality, even pre tapped the posts go in crooked and the locks are flimsy and only hold panels in place until you put on the cardboard back which provides the only real structural integrity. One of my bin bottom boards split when putting in screw. The metal pulls are very cheap, stamped metal with sharp edges that will slice you if not careful. One of my bin fronts had chipped paint on edge and once assembled bins were not square and actually bind when opening and closing, Good concept, really wanted to like but very disappointed.
