A Very Nice Cabinet
The Good. Exceptionally well constructed for this class of furniture. Lots of space. Very attractive. The pictures don't do it justice. The packaging is amazing. Each part is individually wrapped with foam, and plenty of packing material to keep it from moving around during shipping. The box is heavy (126 pounds), so get someone to help you lift it. The Not-so-good Assembly is not for beginners. It's not worth the $140 that Amazon wants to put it together for you, though. Find a friend who has some experience with cabinetry. The instructions are OK, but they could be better. It has an unpleasant odor. This is likely because they didn't let the paint fully cure before packaging it. After you put it together, let it stand with the doors and drawers open for a day or two. Some things will need adjustment. The holes in the mounting plates for the casters didn't align. I had to bore the holes out on the casters to make them fit. The divider in the middle was a bit skewed. It required some wrestling to get the dowels to line up on the top and bottom. That little bit of skew meant that the doors don't quite line up. Also, the screw holes for the magnets that hold the doors closed were too far back. I had to drill new holes. Tips: Do not put the top on until you put the doors on. The doors have to slide down the hinges and you won't be able to do that with the top installed. Don't try to put the drawer frames together and then slide the bottoms in. Things won't line up and everything will be loose. Assemble each drawer with the bottom in the slots in each side. The front of the drawer looks like it could go on either way. I can't. One side of the raised part has a bevel. That needs to go up. You're going to have a bunch of leftover hardware. Don't let that throw you.
