This is actually the 3rd one I bought of this brand. My other 2 went together much easier but for some reason my couldnt get the doors to hang right on this one. I adjusted them for HOURS, removing them multiple times and reattaching. Finally I realized that the entire cabinet must not be fully square causing the uneven doors. I had to remove the nailed on back, make it square then re/nail in.
Tip for set up:
To prevent this on initial assembly only nail in about 1/3 of the nails (doing about every 3rd hole around it). Once you see how the doors hang/ you can: get them adjusted to close correctly, make sure theres no gap between the doors and are flush/square with the cabinet / THEN go back and add the rest of the nails to the back.
Make sure to add the bracket anchor to prevent the cabinet from tipping over once set up! Dont need little ones, pets or other loved ones getting crushed by it.
This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the new appreciation has given me for the quality of IKEA and Target furniture.
Pros:
/Nice guy at customer service.
Cons:
/Arrived with an entire pack of screws missing. (See picture.)
/I had to reorder the parts one by one online.
/They wouldnt rush the replacements even though it was their mistake.
/Confirmation email did not list what replacement parts I ordered. Glad I took a screenshot at the time.
/When the replacement parts arrived, they were still missing parts and even sent the wrong size screw for one of the handles. (See picture.)
/VERY poor quality materials. I am used to inexpensive furniture but this is a new low. One board actually split in two places when assembled as directed. (See picture.) Im handy and have never had this happen. I think they needed guide holes that werent there.
/Instructions are lacking. Pieces do not align as shown. Again, Im handy.
/Arrived in one unwieldy, extremely heavy box. Split it up, guys.
/About half the large wood pieces arrived slightly damaged.
I am hoping this is just the company tripping over themselves because they grew too fast or something. But for now, dont give them your time and money. This is a type of item to get in person at your closest IKEA or Target.
Easy to assemble and adds much needed space to our kitchen. We have two and these were great purchases. Better than expected value for the price. Only complain is that I wish they sold addition shelves separately of that It came More shelves.
