Not a bad cabinet for an RTA
on February 13, 2020
Posted by: Neil
As far as RTA furniture goes this one had really good instructions. When the bottom part of the cabinet is constructed I noticed a bit too much wobble so I disassembled the unit and used glue in the dowel holes. Did not continue with the assembly until the glue had a chance to dry for a couple hours. The wobble was gone and the remainder of the assembly went forward. Also use glue in the assembly of the top cabinet dowel locations which IMO makes the entire unit more stable. Don't put anything heavy in the drawer since the bottom is just cardboard and quite weak. I had some 3/16" plywood that was the same thickness as the cardboard bottom which makes the drawer hardier. As with all RTA furniture a bit of going beyond the directions is called for if you want a finished product that will last for years and function as needed. Also used 1" nails for the back panels instead of the supplied fasteners which didn't seem good enough to me. The nails made the panels very secure and will also help with the strength of the entire structure. As far as storage space, it's adequate as an extra pantry which is what we are using it for.
