This was by far the most labor intensive piece of furniture I have had to assemble. Not all the pieces were numbered, and it took a fair amount of process of elimination to figure it out. Had to also reference the picture shown on to be certain of what I was doing was correct.
In the end, however, I was able to get it all put together, and it was worth it. What I ended up with was sturdy, good looking, and fit my needs perfectly. Get ready to set aside several hours of your time, and brace yourself for some inevitable frustration. If you work carefully and go step-by-step, it is very possible that you will end up with a very functional piece of furniture. .recommend
This cabinet is super cute and perfect for what we needed it for. I would like to say that it is NOT made to put together and/or ever be taken a part and put back together elsewhere. The $money$ that we spent on this cabinet made sense to us since the cost of everything has gone up and we have no plans to move this cabinet from where it stands now, it will be in its current place for many many years. Please DO NOT bump, drop or put pressure on any of the pieces that make up the cabinetry because they will break, splinter and/or chip. Take your time in putting this cabinet together and have patience because it could take several hours. DO NOT use power tools when putting this together and dont over tighten anything that screws in or you will have stress cracks in the particle board. Dont buy this thinking that it is wood because it is not and its not even really good press board but again, for what we needed it for, it is perfect. It took 6 hours to put together because we had to be patient, careful and precise. If cabinets do not light up dont freak out, you should be able to adjust the hinges on the doors to make them line up better. The directions can be a bit vague so use your noggin and common sense, stop and think and you should be fine. I see a lot of complaints about this cabinet and all the things I described here but here is a little reminder, we have created a world where everything is disposable, where we want immediate gratification and we are bored easily. 40 years ago people still desired furniture that would last a long time, purchased things they knew would last and expected it to be made very well. The manufacturers are just creating things that the world has demanded so we really cant complain. .recommend
This thing is great. Im a pro at putting together furniture using power tools and all. I didnt mind the poor instructions or that some holes were missing , pieces not labeled. All that could go wrong for noobs. Not for me, I put cup of coffee and something to smoke and did 3 hours each day for 2 days. Carefully working one page at a time. Stopped, vacuumed all the poor low quality foam and continued the next day. Looks awesome. Do yourself a favor and use something better to secure it to the wall. Really, find a stud and put some effort or go by some real hollow wall anchors rated for over 200lbs. They provide you two little zip tie things I wouldnt trust my child possibly climbing it . I would like to add, My Microwave was a tad longer front to back so I cut one of the back panels off using a blade i cut the tape and it fits perfect! Thank you Malaysia for this low price product. Please do better on labeling and instructions. Packaging was good. .recommend
This fits so much! Although it was supposed to be a coffee bar it quickly turned into the puppys cabinets - holds all treats, toys and everything else. It was a little tricky putting it together as not all the pieces were labeled and the pictures werent super detailed. Its pretty sturdy but it does get water damage easily, the spots bubble up. But for the price I am very, very pleased! Plus, it matches the kitchen pieces we already had
I use this for extra storage space, loveeee the look, my husband put it together in about 3 hours.
just be careful taking the items out of the box lots of Styrofoam! .recommend
I bought 2 of these to go on either side of a window and bench in my kitchen. They look great and the price was affordable but I would not do it again. They come in a million pieces, or so it seems, half the parts were not numbered, and the directions were hard to follow at times. In all it took about 5 hours to put together the first one. The 2nd one was easier, only took 4 hours.
Bought for my daughters small kitchen and was the best addition. She created a coffee counter, and was able to declutter her counters. She was so happy with her cure new storage cabinet! .recommend
Lots of pieces. Styrofoam everywhere! Box damaged upon delivery. Minor flaws (a few chips and scratches due to delivery). Took me 3 hrs to put together alone. Sturdy and worth the $money$. Bought for extra storage and to not worry if the grandkids destroy it!

Took some real work to assemble - Worth the effort in the end

Perfect buy with great price.
Assembling is a longer process, 3-4 hours at least if youre doing it in one go. But final product is worth that time and $money$ you put in.
Great item! Takes forever, really
