Arrived today the initial day of this review. Took about an hour to assemble on my own. Using it for my gaming consoles. Bought because I didnt want to interact with people for furniture.
-1 For materials and packaging. Product is particle board for the walls, the base, the top. The only thing that was wood were just the feet, which itself is not solid wood, but 3 pieces of smaller wood glued together. No way in heck I am putting a TV on this thing. Particle furniture is not ideal, nor long lasting for heavy products. No amount of glue will change my mind. On top of that, the sticker inside states not to place a tv on top!
Packaging for hardware could be labeled and separated better. Lettering for parts had multiple parts in the same packs, with stickers for the labels missing for some. Instructions were not difficult to understand, but I get why people struggle assembling it.
-1 for condition. One of the foot particle board pieces that connects the wood was badly cracked. It was pre-screwed and glued already. The walls, being cheap end laminate came visibly scratched with what looked like black marker around the corners to cover up seams. The base in the front near the wheels of the doors have notable divets/dents in some parts. Bad qa.
You get what you pay for is what I would say... but in this case you get what you pay for buying online on with out seeing it in person first. For the price you can buy actual wood furniture if youre willing to look.

Furniture is still holding up even with pets. Some flaws after almost a year of use is that scratches on the top portion are easy to cause, but not hard to cover up. The price of painted particle board.
It still looks good in my living room and protects my gaming consoles from my pets.
My gripe about the sliding doors is that they do not stick closed on both ends with the magnets, it is only for one side for each door. If using this for a gaming console it kinda makes it hard to manage cables or discs if the door slides closed on its own. Managed to rig up my own hold system with magnets myself.
Suggestions for those with gaming consoles and planning to place the console inside it. Look into a cooling fan to install in the back to help cool the interior down. It helps a lot and wasnt too difficult to add in.
I have used this cabinet for a PS5, a PS3, and 3 different Nintendo consoles placed inside.
Rating will stay the same.
Ok... Meets what I need. Not amazing.
