First off, I am very happy with this unit in my kitchen.
It looked exactly like what I wanted and it is a great fit.
A few things to know about this do-it-yourself furniture.
1.The pictures are very much like any product
2. Layout and prep everything in the order shown
3. The pictures are WRONG. This company is clearly too lazy to fix them. But before you think you made a bad purchase, I will tell you what to ignore
4. Piece 5s pictures are wrong. The locking mechanism is on the wrong side. No big deal, just lock it from the other side.
5. The drawers will need to be flipped 3 or 4 times before you get them in the right order as others have said.
6. The rails that hold the drawers need to be screwed to the rail from the INSIDE of the cabinet. I believe those pictures are wrong also.
7. This company is LAZY. They could have included a note saying piece 5 was cut wrong or drawn wrong. Doesnt really matter. They are lazy either way. My stomach was inside out before I realized it just doesnt matter which side the locking mechanism is on. But they could have solved many concerns by just adding a note.
8. If youve never successfully put together furniture, you arent gonna like this experience. I am seasoned and it took almost 3 hours. My son had to help me get the doors on and I complained about every screwdriver in the house
9. The 2 left doors went on easy as pie but the far right door needed adjusting and was too tight to the edge to close. Had to bring it out more and away from the edge
Once completed, it is nice unit. Looks good and has plenty of storage. I made a coffee bar on top with my Nespresso machine and electric water kettle. I hope to get great use out of the storage and drawers
