I love it! Exactly what I was looking for to display my tea set and fancy cake plates etc.
I had originally purchase this cabinet from .com and it arrived smashed with broken glass.
Purchased from , it was $8 cheaper and it arrived in perfect condition. Kudos to the delivery crew!
It was pretty easy to put together, Im not a handy person and I put it together in about 30min.
We recently bought a home and needed something that isnt super wide to go on the back wall to the kitchen. I seen this and it was just the right size. It took a while to put together but it wasnt unreasonable. The finished result is a beautiful storage piece that is durable and functions perfectly. Well worth the price. Id buy this again and again.
At the end of the day it looks all right for an apartment, but I know the day will come when Ill be happy to throw this thing away or donate it. This thing was a bear to put together. Im talking if youre not an experienced carpenter you better plan on working on this thing for two hours. The wood is mealy in some places and the screws simply wont stay in. I had to re-drill probably six holes to get this thing to go together. Mind you this should not happen.
Secondly theres a lot of non-intuitive quirks that need to be spelled out very clearly in the directions so that someone can orient the pieces in the correct way so that everything is facing in the proper direction once everything is put together.
Finally, I wont lie, I wanted to give up in the middle and return this thing, but the companies return policy is so restrictive that it wouldve made more sense for me to just light it on fire in the backyard. So I trudged on and put it together .
The thing looks sturdy enough, but I am really annoyed whenever something is overly complicated and doesnt go together intuitively. Contrast this with some other products by the same company, this is 100 times more challenging. Im wondering if this is an old model which would explain why the word sucks. At any rate I think its overpriced but its decent enough
In the picture you can see a small entertainment center, paper grocery bag and a water jug for size comparison. This thing is SHORT! I would like it to be 6 to 16 8nches taller. As is it is about the same hight as a bench. You can buy a stacked one of these that would add about 26 inches which would be too much. I might try to get some sort of drawer platform to put under it or on top of it, or find some sort of wrought iron legs for it.
The quality is good. The doors slide very easily. It is incredibly lightweight. Most holes are predrilled. The directions are poorly made. The images in the directions could have been from much better angles to make assembly easier. There is no phillips head screwdriver included, but you will need one for assembly. The back panel goes on with a bunch of tiny screws and those holes are not predrilled. I would HIGHLY recommend using an electric screwdriver for most of this. Also, use some of your own wood glue with the dowls, as there is no wood glue included.
All in all, not a bad piece of furniture. Aside from needing to use your own tools and wood glue for assembly and the directions being a bit confusing, and the end product about 6 inches too short for minimum comfort, it is a nice piece of quality furniture.
