I love the look of this cabinet for my office, but the screws sent with are cheap and strip very easily. It comes with a screwdriver but the instruction manual says it requires an electric drill. Several pre-cut holes in the metal frame were too small, making the assembly process with cheap screws a challenge with several trips to the hardware store.
Just what I needed it for. It was pretty easy to put together. Ive had it a few months now, using it as a coffee bar. Ive spilled water on it and its held up pretty well. Definitely a good bang for your buck!
Scratched when received. Wouldve complained more except its on the inside lower shelf and wont be visible. Still disappointing though. Assembly was not complicated but some of the angles are weird when trying to screw things in (especially when its time to install the doors to the cabinet; its hard to see and I had to have my daughter help by holding the door while I struggled to shine a light and screw it in).
The instructions for assembly were easy to understand, all the parts were present. For an inexpensive cabinet, it works. Ive got it in the entry from the garage to hold keys and store miscellaneous stuff. Personally, I wouldnt use it for a quality piece in my living area. Its metal with a fabricated top, which is not living area furniture to me. Looks nice where it is.
Bought 2 for miscellaneous stuff that didnt fit in the pantry. I really like it I think it looks nice. Is it the most secure? No but it works. If you bump the door too hard it will swing open. My dogs could get into this no problem. I would recommend using a drill to put together the screws were a tight fit . It took me and my wife about an hour and a half to put together 2. Put the doors in while its upside down way easier. Wait till the end to put the middle shelf in just angle it in. Full grown female boxer for height reference ( she has FOMO, Fear Of Missing Out)
Directions could be better, especially pictures to give correct orientation. Also, holes for one of the doors were off, making doors uneven. But for the price, its a good buy. Appearance is pretty nice.
Use a wood glue on the dowels or a construction adhesive during assembly. The whole front face of the cabinet is loose without it. Took the front off just to secure it with adhesive... Perfect now.
I love the look and easy assembly. The only thing Im currently having an issue is the door doesnt stay close. I have to constantly push them together to keep them close. It needs a magnet feature.

Works great for our fish tank, stylish and good storage.
We were happy to come across this cabinet for our fishtank. The cabinet is stylish and functional. Holds our 20Gal tank no problem.
Love the looks but not the assembly process.

Sturdy and meets expectations
I was hesitant after reading some of the reviews. Glad I went ahead and bought this. It is sturdy. Took a little while to put together. But worth it.

Fairly good quality for price

I like it, BUT ....
Use a wood glue on the dowels or a construction adhesive during assembly. The whole front face of the cabinet is loose without it. Took the front off just to secure it with adhesive... Perfect now.
