The product ended up knocked down in a smaller box, so some assembly is required. Directions were good and visual. The case of the cabinet ends up pretty sturdy. It has strong magnetic catches that hold the doors closed. The problem is that the catches might be too strong for the flimsy doors, as I strain the doors when I open them (the upper catch releases before to lower catch does, causing the door to twist). Given that problem, I dont know how long the cabinet doors will last. Time will tell.
I read some of the other reviews I didnt have any trouble putting it together by myself. But I will say a few things. First of all the instructions keep mentioning dont tighten the screws if youre having trouble lining up the holes There are only holes in the top piece there are no pilot holes in the piece you are going into do you have to be sure youre screwing in squarely. Second, be careful putting the back panels on that you have them them right side up, the picture only shows them from the back side there are shelf supports on the front side. Dont hang the doors until you have it leveled in the place youre putting it. I had to put shim pieces inside the rubber feet to level it as there are not adjustable legs.
The shelves break easily (2 were broken on arrival) and the latch is brittle (broke on 2nd opening) its a little expensive for the quality of the product but it does the job for small tool storage
I Needed someplace closer to my house to store shovels and rakes. We have a shop but its a good distance from the backyard garden. I was looking for something that would hold quite a few garden tools closer to the house. This was easy to assemble. Directions were easy to follow. I was not able to put the top shelf in with the long handles of several shovels and rakes. I didnt use any of the shelving. I have 2 shovels, several rakes and a few other long handled garden tools. It looks good and provided a solution for me. Id have given 5 stars if I could have put the shelf in the top. Assembly was not an issue. Took 1 hour by myself
Unlike some reviews the directions were not hard to follow, but understand that I build models for a living thus following or figuring out crude directions is just another day for me. Not hard to follow I had it built within two hours and am happy with how it looks, it serves a function and looks pretty nice in the back garden. Ill certainly give it several good coats of stain to protect the wood.
Once I got over the shock of the magnitude of pieces, I realized they made it REAL EASY to assemble and actually really fun. Like jigsaw puzzles? This is like that only an easy one. It took me about 2 hours and then wow! Its sturdy, well made, attractive and roomy inside. And smells good! Almost like cedar wood. So far so good. Im glad I made the plunge and didnt freak out when I saw the pieces. But they were extremely well marked and once I got over myself it was really fun!

So cute
We love this cabinet looks really good
Nice cedar material and good design. Somewhat flimsy doors.
