Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The GOOD! This thing, once built, is solid, good looking, and I might order another. I'm a masochist. The BAD! Watch out for three things that will make your life a living hell! 1. DO NOT Let all the Styrofoam particles loose in your house. The million tiny particles are magnetic. You can't simply brush them off or vacuum them like normal particles - theses are super sticky particles. You'll see what I mean. Kinda like a snowstorm. Been picking up tiny Styrofoam flakes for a week so far. And of course there are 166 parts (I counted them and got to know each intimately). Unbelievably there was only one part missing - a wood dowel - which I substituted with a sawed off pencil. Creativity, endurance, patience, intelligence, and fits of anger - all required with this baby! Oh, one more bad thing - after you empty all the parts out of the box and get all the Styrofoam particles back inside of it, it must remain sealed forever, which is a problem when you try to get rid of it, unless you have a 7 foot by 2 foot garbage can. The UGLY! Considering this thing weighs in at about 80 lbs and is unwieldly to handle especially for our UPS person, it was packaged as if it weighed 10 lbs! This could be reinforced so easily. Luckily, although the package was crushed and mashed here and there, the parts were all was okay. A miracle! Then there is the problem of the middle door hinge that cannot be adjusted because the engineers positioned the adjusting screw behind a shelf, which would require taking the entire cabinet apart to remove! the shelf to make an adjustment when you discover that the door is crooked! You'll see what I mean. And of coarse almost every screw must be made of soft aluminum. The best way to screw everything in is to find a normal screw in your tool box and pre-screw everything to widen the screw holes so you won't strip out the wannabe screws included. You'll see what mean. Whatever you do, remember to screw the cam bolts in STRAIGHT!! They really want to go in crooked, and if they do, the cam locks don't work! Disassembly required again! And the cam bolts are very soft. Use a combination of numbers 1,2,or 3 Phillip's heads, and a straight , sharp regular screwdriver that might work after the phillip heads strip out. For sure, don't screw down part "I" - a little block of wood that begs to split in half with any force. Using all the skills and experience I have garnered over 7 decades, I superglued the split-in-half little block of wood. Of course it did not hold, so I made another block of wood out of WOOD and made it work. I've aged.
