Look - this thing, for the price, is pretty amazing. Take your time, it'll take 2-ish hours to build, maybe longer (it took me like 2.5 -3 but I usually work pretty slow). Use a screwdriver, don't rush, don't get impatient, and the thing fits together like a glove. It's frankly fairly sturdy for what it is. Don't overload it with a ton of stuff. It's not a piece that's going to withstand a ton of abuse over time. No pieces that are this big at 200 bucks will. Understand that you have to sacrifice a level of quality, but for the price, this thing is 100% worth it. It feels sturdy, they packaged it well. Don't go crazy unpacking it, just take your time. The color is pretty accurate. Over time, that veneer finish is going to weer - they all do. However, I choose to keep in mind the scope of what this product is. I didn't purchase a $750 dollar credenza (like my signature design by Ashley that I've had for 10 years and is still going strong), This is a cheap storage cabinet that is large, has space, and is well put together and can last several years .
I need to address the silly 1, 2, and 3 star reviews that complain about things. If you see these in any of these lower reviews, my advice is to not trust the review:
1) This is a $200 large storage cabinet. If you think you're getting anything but engineered wood, and you take stars off for engineered/press wood, Your opinion and review are not validated.. Real wood pieces cost much more unless you build it yourself. This will not win any quality awards, but please, scope your review to the price at hand.
2) Stop giving product reviews for shipping issues. With furniture, it's frankly common to get damaged parts. Get a replacement or send it back. If you get a replacement, rate that. These are product reviews, not shipping/damage reviews. Almost any vendor is going to take care of you in some way shape or form if you receive a damaged product. If your product broke from use, that is fine to review, but if it arrives damaged, and you immediately give it a 1 star, you're not doing anyone justice.
3) Do not cry about misaligned doors when there's literally adjustable hinges. Don't cry about split wood when you took a drill to it and the instructions told you not to. Don't take off stars because you think the Styrofoam in the box left residue when in actuality some of the stryofoam broke off and stuck to the wood, so you had to wipe it off but you wanted to nitpick because you hate a company.
3) REVIEW each and every piece prior to putting it together. If you put it together and later find out a piece was broke that's on you. Even almost any company is going to work with you and send you a replacement. If you're not smart enough to go ask for a replacement piece because it was damaged in shipping, that's on you. Work with the company and try to get parts prior to getting butthurt.
4) Giving it 1 star for the color is just.. bad. Your smart phone or computer display is likely the culprit at not representing the color correctly, not the company.
Reading some of the poor reviews on this product just made me laugh. I can certainly agree or nod to some of the points but some folks are just nit picking the heck of a product that is pretty darn good.
