Basic isnt a negative description - this is a good no-frills option for anyone who wants something with clean lines. The handles are surprisingly heavy brushed silver that looks a lot richer than the stock photos.
Rather than mounting on the wall (I rent), I bought a set of plain metal furniture legs and added them so its freestanding in my craft studio. Keep in mind that this is meant to be a wall mount, so it doesnt have a backing included; this could easily be remedied with a thin piece of particleboard.
Re: Construction. It came together in a couple of hours, including a break in the middle for a snack. I mostly used a power drill, with some hand tightening of screws. Its all screws as well, no wooden pegs. Ive assembled a lot of flat pack furniture, so the diagram wasnt hard to follow, but could see how it would be challenging to someone less familiar with exploded views.
The doors are interchangeable, and you can decide if you want the handles at the top or bottom, depending on how you plan to use the cabinets.
The only caveat Id offer is that the hinges are a pain to adjust so that the doors are evenly aligned - not a structural issue, but annoying enough that I cant quite rate it five stars. Thats somewhere it would help to have a second pair of hands to hold the doors steady, but I managed fine by myself.
It did come with a few chipped edges on the pieces, but for $107 I can live with those just fine.
Sturdy and basic with surprisingly nice hardware.
