Nice piece
on August 22, 2021
Posted by: Pam
My son put it together in two and a half hours with no problems. He read and followed the directions. I love it.Seems very sturdy. I got the white one.Needed more storage in my small apartment and this filled the bill. Was not the hardest piece he put togethor. When son first saw directions he said holy crap.But after separating all the pieces and putting like pieces together it was easy. He didn't need me to help, so I guess one person can do it. If you have put things together before you should be able to do this. Not sure why it took some so much time for some. Son said directions were fine. All pieces were labeled. I'd buy another without hesitation.

Cabinet

This works great for the purpose I purchased it. Little coffee center. Holds all my coffee and extra stuff. Not the most sturdy but I have the coffee pot, espresso machine and grinder on it. Before you put it together, make sure you are relaxed and in the mood. You get pictures to show you how to put it together. Separate and put all in the order the instructions show. Then start. Not that hard, just no words to describe anything. Everything was there but one picture was wrong. lol? I'm loving it.

Get your drink out

Let me tell you when this thing comes to your home or business you better get your drink out you're gonna be sitting there while putting this thing together. It comes in 5 billion pieces. And the directions are pictures if you're going to come of that many parts you better put words. Other than that it's a good product.

We bought this as a side table to our nursery changing table for extra storage. It was easy to build, relatively sturdy. Clean look and overall good size.

Cute

The instructions to put it together suck. I've never put anything together in my life and I figured it out and had it assembled in about an hour. I'm using this as the cooktop area in my school bus conversion. I'm definitely going to be wood gluing it though to make it more sturdy since it will be moving around on the road. I think it's plenty sturdy in a regular home though. I like it and would buy again. We shall see how it works.

Not as difficult as some other reviews said.

Took 2 1/2 hours to assemble and some of the illustrated instructions doesn't precisely match the parts, though if your attentive to the diameter of the holes you can figure it out. End product is nice and what I expected, though if you're a die hard perfectionist you may be pffted that some parts don't line up exactly (though in my case it was never much more than a 3/16 of an inch - not noticeable unless your looking for it - and if you're that picky you shouldn't be buying manufactured assemble-yourself furniture). It's a welcome addition to our kitchen, replacing a similar old Ikea piece.

Lots of storage for small space living, but need time to assemble

#Cons:
- This is one of those products that I think it's worth mentioning the cons first. You'll have to decide if it's worth the time you spend vs the money you spend for it before complaining.
It takes me around 5 hours to get everything together because the instruction manual has only pictures. Yes, it'll be guess work and sometimes when you put things in the wrong place, you'll have to go back and fix your mistakes. So it's best to have an electric drill to undo your wrongdoings, if any. So it isn't easy to assemble.

#Pros:
- MDF board, which is Medium Density Fiberboard. But because it's not plywood, you don't have to worry about mold, bug, or wood cracking.
Plus, it's stronger and more durable.
- That's also why it has a great value. Because MDF board. So I'd buy again if I could.
- Lots of storage capacity. My apartment kitchen is small. So having this cabinet is not only giving me counter space, but also a ton of storage that I don't have. This is a winner for small space living.
- Have many usages. I use the cabinet storage as a stationary kitchen island as well. I serve it with some bar stools and voila, it's a small dining table for 2.
- You can move the inner shelf to a different level to suit your needs.
- Magnetic lock. Ah yes. Some cabinet till this day doesn't equip with this feature. Go figure. Closing/opening the cabinet doors is a breeze.

#Verdict:
- Definitely worth a buy. Save me a lot of money if I want to spend on a similar cabinet.
- Have someone to help you so it'll cut down time in half. Like I said I put together alone and it took me roughly 5 hours mainly because some parts I didn't do right based on wrong/old model pictures, so I had to redo them. But 2 people would make it easier.
- Lay out every single part and label everything if it's missing. You'll thank me later. It helps me a lot in grabbing the right piece. Good luck.

Exactly what I wanted
on September 16, 2021
Posted by: Jolene W.
This arrived faster than expected. It did take around 3 hours to put together. None of the pieces are put together at all. All the wood pieces are very solid. I am very pleased with how it turned out.
