Overpriced, but a good cabinet.

I'm happy, hence the four stars, but there are some specific things that bug me. Things I like: 1) Its a very sturdy cabinet. I'm not at all worried about it coming apart, falling, or breaking down over time. 2) The size and the way it fits the space in my kitchen are perfect. Plenty of storage. 3) Contrary to what a lot of other reviews say, you *do not* need two people to build this. I am not a particularly strong person, in fact I'm rather small, and I put it together by myself in my living room in one afternoon. Things I didn't like: Even with the positives listed above, it is entirely overpriced given the following... Things to just be aware of: 1) The hardware are all different finishes (why!?). The knobs on the doors are an aged bronze colored metal. The drawer pulls are polished black plastic. The exposed hinges are polished silver. Functionally this isn't an issue, but it's weird that every piece of hardware is a different finish and material. 2) Once the top is installed, it becomes a *very* heavy piece of furniture, so if you can, build it IN the room you plan to use it in because moving it once that top is on can be a difficulty. Especially if you're trying to move it across carpet.
I purchased 2 of these "Traditional Freestanding Kitchen Pantry Cabinet Cupboard". I put them side by side. Note they don't sit flush due to the trim. They add a good amount of storage. The units come in 2 boxes. All items are numbered & hardware alphabetized. The directions are pretty easy to follow & have an expanded view showing location placement for each piece. It took about 2.5 hours to put together. One side wall came broken. We tried repairing but no luck. I would have given 5 stars if the product would not have come broken.
Put this thing together last night all by myself (5'3;140lb woman). It was very simple to construct. The directions labeled out each individual piece which was very helpful. I haven't even finished putting stuff in it and it's already doubled the space more than the half bookshelf I was temporarily using. The only thing I can say is it is 2 boxes and the first box arrived super quick and the other took a few extra days but they both were at my house before the original estimated date.
Purchased 2 units to act as pantry. If I had space, would have bought 3. Appreciate the flexible shelf positioning. Feels a bit weak and not sturdy, so perhaps stronger solid wood would help. Overall, satisfied.
Took 3.5 hours to assemble both units - hired an assembly company to do that. With 2 people, less time.
I love this pantry/cabinet. I've ordered TWO of them! I'm in my seventies, so I didn't put them together, but hired a contractor. The first one was perfect. The second one was not as sturdy when it was put together, and two of the cupboard doors were about an inch short of what they should be. The customer service was EXCELLENT. I couldn't ask for more attentive representatives from your company. Thank you for a very positive experiencce!
