I've constructed a ton of different cabinets, coffee tables, end tables, desks, shelves, you name it. These came with one of the best set of instructions, with fun commentary for that "little extra." There is a precise quantity of materials, and the constructionis extremely sturdy and a reinforced base. I was so impressed and pleased with the size and fit for my garage that I ended up ordering a second unit. 17" depth fits perfectly against the garage wall on the elevated part, and they stand perfectly side by side. The adjustable feet also allowed for the uneven floors!There's quite a bit of tweaking to get the doors perfectly aligned, but that's true of *any* cabinet, and the brackets are 3 way adjustable. "Close enough" is fine for what we're using them for, but you can perfectly align them if you spend the time to do so.These were exactly what I needed and hoped for, and reasonably priced!I will be looking for this brand any time I purchase assembled furniture in the future!

I bought this to create extra space in my kitchen. I have a lot of kitchen appliance into declutter the counter space I found this to be the perfect color and size for my kitchen. It is very sturdy did not notice any scratches and the door closes on point. There were no missing parts and for additional space the functionality is great. My brother even came over and said whoever’s idea was to this cabinet. Awesome job. I appreciate you bro.

Arrived in perfect condition in a very well-packed box. All parts were carefully packaged and labeled and nothing was missing. Instructions are pretty good, but must be studied and followed carefully or you will make mistakes. Few tools are needed: hammer, Phillips screw driver, box cutter. I chose to glue everything but that is not specified in the instructions. I am a professional engineer and a very experienced wooden boat builder. It took a few hours for me to assemble. The parts are very accurately made and fit perfectly. The faux wood finish is excellent. The end result is a nice looking, albeit "light duty" cabinet. Treat it gently and do not overload it and it will do the job for you for many years.

Alright so I will be honest, I had a few issues with this thing. First of all, mine came with the Left and Right ends totally broken in half. This was likely due to the package being mishandled somewhere in transit. Luckily, and I want to stress this part, Sauder will send replacement parts if any of them come broken. Free. Via UPS. They actually had them to me in less than a week. Off to a halfway decent start.Now as far as putting the thing together. Instructions are crystal clear. Just take your time, look at the pictures and make sure there are holes where the holes are supposed to be. I made a mistake but it was an easy fix (put the top on upside down, realized finished side goes inside the cabinet).The bottom piece is brilliant. The wood gets held together by joining it on plastic feet which are then attached to the bottom via screws. Super easy but you will need a long neck screwdriver.The back is where things might get a little hairy. Make sure the back is EXACTLY how you want it because the backing has pre-punched holes for the nails and it makes it very easy to hammer them too close to an edge and splinter it (this happened to mine, but not too bad and I was able to pull some nails out and move it back into place).The doors are a bit tricky but all the adjustments are there. Depth, height and horizontal movement can be adjusted by tightening and loosening screws and moving the doors themselves. Honestly the only thing I didn't love about the doors is the center of them is a piece of very thin wood that was slid into it, and you can hear it sort of wiggle around and make a sandy noise. Think of it like the door is a window, and they used cheap glass to fill it.The last thing to do is put the shelves in. Honestly this part is usually the easiest you just jam the studs in and plop the shelves on top. I don't know if we just got unlucky but... our shelves did not fit at first. We had to loosen the top piece which holds the whole thing together to get them in and even now they are SNUG. We won't be adjusting them because we probably cant get them out now. After retightening the top the whole thing is essentially a solid unit. Feels sturdy at least.Minor gripes aside It's a good pantry, and under $200 I really can't complain. If you're not looking to spend $400-500+ then you're either going to buy something that's hard to build / prone to fall apart or you're going to buy something wholly decent. I think that's what this is. A solid budget pantry, and one I could recommend.

Here are a few things -- We assembled the unit on a carpet. We had it laid down and followed the instructions on paper as well as the you tube video link provided on the instruction manual.- When we were assembling the U shaped base, we realized that if we aligned 3 of the screw holes, the 4th would not. So we used a power tool to create a slightly shifted hole. We did not need to use a drillbit . Just used the screw itself to do that.- Putting in the doors using the hinges - that was the trickier part - the doors are a bit mis-aligned from the top but only slightly mis-aligned at the bottom but luckily its not too visible from a distance.- There is a gap between the doors from where you can see about 1/2 inch of the shelving. I think we need to adjust the hinges to close that gap. It is not looking bad though.- The unit is located in our dining room and fits in nicely. It was a bit wobby until we added the shelves and dumped some heavy items on the bottom shelf.- After the storage items are loaded ( I am using it as a pantry ) it is steady and has weight and our cats are having a great time using the top of the unit as a hideaway. The dining table is working as a launch pad. lol- Note that the holes they made on the cardboard for the back from where to slip out the metal strip to attach to the wall was not in the middle so the strip comes out twisted. It would not be easy to get that comfortably attached to the wall.

The cabinet overall is a great product and easy to assemble. The finish is good and easy to clean. The variable choices for shelf designation is great, offering lots of choices. There are a couple of things that could be improved. 1) the backing of the cabinet is made of thin cardboard that is tacked on and does not provide any structural strength and if items are placed hard against could break. 2) The doors have spring loaded hinges that keep them closed but in my opinion are a bit week and should of had a magnetic catch at the top of each door.

Love the cabinet. Fits perfect in my home, however, it came sort of faulty. One door goes slightly higher over the other door, if it wasn’t for that I would have gave this 5 stars. It is not a major issue or anything, so I haven’t returned it because it is difficult for me to take it apart and ship it back. Overall, the cabinet is great but could have been perfect if it wasn’t for the problem with the one door being higher than the other.

I purchased two of these cabinets to stand side by side in my mud room to hold kitchen appliances, closet type items and pantry items. It fits the bill and looks nice and clean in my mud room where before it was an open shelved mess. They are sturdy and wee easy to assemble. Highly recommend!
