I am pleased with our new Cubbie Shoe Cabinet. Its just the right size for our laundry room (previous cabinets have overpowered the room)
I was able to assemble almost all of the cabinet myself, which was great! My husband only had to help me with the back. One small problem with assembling the back-the back is 3 pieces that have to be held in place while I was attaching the small, sharp screws-but, there werent any markings or the start of pre-drilled holes. So, we had to hold them in place, while trying to center each screw, because you have 1 chance to get them in the MIDDLE of the framing which isnt very wide. We got it done, though.
When I first began assembling this product, I was pretty apprehensive about the quality of the parts, and also was afraid it would not be sturdy. I was very pleased that once I got to the pieces of the outer frame where everything required solid screws, I could tell it was sturdy enough for its purpose.
You will need a power drill in a few places, which is not mentioned in the product description.
The padded top cushion is VERY thin (1 1/2 inches thick at the most). The material looks ok and blends nicely with the remodeling with grays we have done, but it is a low quality material. Im looking for a thicker pad and nicer material, but this will do for now.
Overall, I consider this a good product for the price. Mostly easy assembly, and looks streamlined, offering a nice looking shelf to store shoes.
A decent product for the price-easy assembly
