Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I looked at this cabinet for a few weeks before I decided to purchase it. I went through and read all the reviews from 1 star to 5 stars and saw that a majority of the reviews were positive, so I finally purchased it. I was so excited because our new house didn’t have much storage and I was planning on using this as a hallway cabinet to hold our bath towels and other stuff. Here’s the only PRO I can give you: I love the color and it didn’t take long to assemble it. That’s it. CONS: You might want to pour a drink before you read the list of CONS. I can’t believe there’s a company that actually manufactures this crap. Since it didn’t take us long to assemble it, that means it didn’t take us long to become disappointed. You would think something that weighs 104 pounds would be sturdy, right? Wrong. Not only that, you can easily sway the cabinet (once it’s assembled) left or right, meaning it is not sturdy at all. If we had kids, we would’ve either tried to return it or put it in the fire pit. That’s how bad it is. Oh, if you’re not good with anything other than pictorial directions, you’ll be screwed. No one within the company that designs this product thought it would be pertinent to actually label the shelves, so you’re on your own on figuring out which shelf goes where. It gets better…. Another big engineering flaw: the cabinet doors that open and close are so heavy that you have to anchor it to the wall because as soon as you open the doors, it tilts forward. If you have small children that like to climb stuff, do NOT purchase this product. This is the first piece of furniture we’ve had to anchor in our home and we have 2 huge hutches that we have no worries with. Ridiculous. After we followed the directions, the end product showed outside doors that didn’t line up—the right door is higher than the left one. The only way to fix this is to re-drill more holes in one of the doors which would be a total pain. Here’s another flaw: after all of this, the shelf supports (that you can move up and down so you can place the shelf) are PLASTIC…not metal. This means if one of them breaks, you’re SOL or you need to go to your local hardware store and hope they have the same size shelf support. BOTTOM LINE: if you’re placing this cabinet somewhere where it doesn’t matter what it looks like (garage, laundry room, attic), you'll be fine. But if you’re looking for a piece of furniture that has competent directions, strong, with doors that should align, then you’re going to be disappointed. I will never buy anything from this company again. Lesson learned.
