Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off, lets start with the fact that I heavily modified this cabinet. I wanted one of those Scrapboxes but they run around $1,500 and I'm not rich. Instead I scoured Amazon and settled on this piece of furniture as a starting point. I read a ton of reviews and was a little wary because some people said it took them around 8 hours to build. Jumped in head first, ordered some other parts that I was sure would fit, and went on my merry way. Parts arrived! Hooray! I pulled the cabinet out of its two packing boxes (seriously they must have packaged this better since older reviews because mine was in perfect condition). Oh, this thing is also extremely heavy, like so ridiculously heavy that the fedex lady left it out front, but luckily my roommate helped me bring it in because otherwise I'd have been pulling pieces in one at a time from outside. Anyway, laid out the pieces and got to work. My two year old decided it was very fun to climb over this as I was building it, and I decided to time myself because I was sure there was no way it would take me longer than 2 hours to build. I did make a couple of minor mistakes and had to pull things apart to fix them, but 2.5 hours later I had a cabinet! I went a little over my mark, but just really be careful when reading the instructions. My biggest mistake was not putting the small door handle on before the other parts of that door. I sadly realized that my Wall Control pegboards weren't going to fit on the large door without cutting the shelves, so my carpenter sibling came the next week and we cut 1 inch off of the top and bottom shelves. The middle shelf we jury rigged a little bit so it still sort of has a finished front, they cut 1/4 inch off, then 1 inch off, then we glued the 1/4 inch back on. That sounds confusing and it was a little bit, but it works! I do need to go back in and put some paint or marker or something on it to blend the colors in, but I have now moved onto my next project (custom kitchenette for my son for X-Mas). I was concerned about the weight of the whole thing, but I had anticipated this and with a 2 year old I was taking no chances, so I went ahead and bought a 400lb anti-tip kit. I got some nuts and bolts and bolted the pegboard on through the door, I wanted to make sure it was secure (theme here?). The majority of the work was done, but I wanted a chalkboard front. I tried just painting over the veneer but the paint just scratched off easily with my nails so I had to go back and sandpaper the whole front of the door. Painted it again and two coats later I have a great chalkboard door too!
