I expected higher quality for the price tag on this, but I guess I shouldnt be surprised buying online. The doors are kinda flimsy, one doesnt close without a firm push to connect the tiny magnets inside, and theres a gap. One of the shelves was bowed. The bolts on the sides are exposed and they only give you worthless flimsy paint covers rather than caps. The backing holes didnt line up completely properly / and the whole backside is an eyesore that must be pushed against a wall (Im gonna try to cover it will fun wallpaper). Parts of this felt like fragile material that could easily break / maybe thin particle board or something / I expected better, solid material for the 200+ price tag. It also takes 2 people to assemble / I really dont see how anyone could do it alone / but at least the instructions were clear.
It fits our space and it was a b*tch to set up, so we wont pursue a return, but.I wish Id just gone to Ashley Furniture store instead for the price.
Its not the sturdiest shelf, but its great for a kids playroom or garage. The doors are flimsy and light. The product looks nice.
Some parts were broken or not as high quality as other parts in the package so I called and they are shipping out the replacement ones at no cost to me.
Could have been made a little more sturdy. The middle hinge on door was hard to attach to unit because it was so close to shelf. The back should have been made out of something more solid. It does look nice.
Ikea needs to take notes. Everything was perfectly labeled and instructions were crystal clear. I built it on my own in about two hours.
It looks pretty from far away and can hold a lot. I bought this to use as a pantry as our apartment is low on storage space for kitchen.
I will say though that the quality is fairly poor for this piece. I bought it for around 140, and even then I felt like it could be better for the price. I was building Target brand storage cubes before hand and the quality of that was much better.
Hope it can last a couple years though
I needed a cabinet to store many of the items that I have bought to keep extra things on hand because of the pandemic. I love the look and would like to buy a second one.
I was a little worried from other reviewers that got a cabinet with weirdly drilled holes, but the one that was delivered to me did not have that issue. You do definitely need a second person for part of the assembly.
I love the color, it has good space inside, and it keeps pantry foods cool on warm days. I havent loaded it up fully, so Im not sure if the shelves sag or not.
I ordered these to add storage space to our home and they are exactly what I expected. They were simple to assemble, but I suggest having two people to knock them out. The boxes are 70+ lbs and an awkward dimension so have someone help you move them! The holes for the cabinets backing were a lil off, but not horribly. The important holes all lined up correctly.
If the holes on the backings were cut correctly I would have given this item 5 stars.
They are a great price and the shelves seem sturdy. We actually purchased 3 of these and I am glad we did.
All the holes lined up. Had a little problem trying to figure out which way to put the hinges on. Directions are not clear on the hinges. Would not recommend trying to do this with the screwdriver use a power tool
Product was schedule to arrive on Sept 21. It arrived on August 20th. We are happy that it is here, but we were not ready for delivery logistics at home.
Cabinet was perfectly packed and handled, no damage to product. Instructions were helpful but not the best. Screws missing very upsetting when we were ready to assemble, we are in the floor in the middle of it, and parts are missing. We run to ACE hardware the next day to try to find a match.
And finally and most important, it was not the model that we ordered; very similar but not what we wanted, by then we have an assemble piece, packaging is in the trash and we are not unable to send it back.
Quality is ok, looks neat and nice, magnets to close doors are horrible, the strength is unnecessary and the whole unit shakes when we open the doors. We will try to find other option.
Piece will be use to an additional pantry to get ready for Covid/19 during the fall.
Thanks!

Good value for the money looks nice
Its sturdious long as you dont move it. Good value for the money.
I expected better material and construction for the price tag

Some broken parts, but has EXCELLENT customer service!

Not as sturdy as expected. The plastics screws for back are horrible.
Could have been made a little more sturdy. The middle hinge on door was hard to attach to unit because it was so close to shelf. The back should have been made out of something more solid. It does look nice.
Easy to install, but quality needs to be improved

Looks great and I was really able to store a lot of items.

Looks good and is functional

Beautiful and a great price!

I got it together
All the holes lined up. Had a little problem trying to figure out which way to put the hinges on. Directions are not clear on the hinges. Would not recommend trying to do this with the screwdriver use a power tool
After assembled by us, not the right one by them.
