Just finished assembling it. First the good: The unit and its components are solid. The composite wood is dense and true. The enamel coat is smoothly applied, although there are a few chips here and there. The overall finished appearance is handsome. The instructions are clear, but it is important to pay attention to detail to avoid placing the wrong peg in the wrong hole. Now the bad: For those of us who care, the packaging is an environmental nightmare! Loads of unrecyclable styrofoam to add to the waste-stream. The cabinet doors do not meet nicely in the center of the unit as depicted in the illustration. There is a 7/16 inch gap. Although it is not noticeable upon casual inspection, the doors are slightly vertically misaligned as the guide holes in the blocks for the hinges are imperfectly predrilled. The assembly instructions depict the use of a rubber mallet to nail the cardboard back panel to the unit. Forget it! The wood is too dense and youll never drive the nails. The nails are also nigh impossible to drive with a metal hammer (a tribute to the solid composite) and you are likely to ding and dent the surrounding wood in the attempt. I gave up, predrilled guide holes and applied the backing with 1/2 inch panhead screws--dont even bother with the nails.
Highly recommend this cabinet. I build today and it was very easy. I had recently built many IKEA items and this was so much easier. The prep for the holes perfect and the labeling of parts extremely helpful. Built in 35 minutes.
Cabinet installation was easy and straightforward until it was time to install the cabinet doors. I was prepared for a challenge, but not quite this. The directions are easy to follow until it comes time to put the hinges on - they are shaped like a Z, and feel impossible to hang from inside the cabinet while only using a screwdriver. (You can’t use power tools bc it’s on glass), and I’ve tried five different ways and two hours so far trying to attach them properly. Arrghhhhhh!!!
UPDATE: Used a shoebox to hold the doors up and had someone else try the screwdriver after all those attempts and it all lined up perfectly! Love the way it looks in our room, and will be very useful! I’d give it 5 stars, bc it’s very sturdy
What a great looking little storage unit. It fit in the space I needed it for perfectly and I love the red color. Many complained that the doors would not close evenly. The hinges are the kind you can adjust until they DO meet properly. You just have to know how to do that.
Not cheap looking even tho it wasnt an expensive unit. Highly recommend the company and the cabinet!
