Looks nice, safety hazard
The color of the finish is nice... and I dont think it would take too much reengineering to turn it into a workable product. Assembly was a little more difficult than other furniture i have assembled due to similar looking but different types of screws, and an instruction manual with somewhat low detail pictures. The main problem is that the cabinet is made out of individual particle board peices that are held together by little pegs that are held in place with nothing other than friction. If you try pushing the assmebled product across the floor it will come apart as it doesnt even have a one piece base. The closest thing it has to stability is provided by the cardboard backing that is nailed on. Since it is totally unstable until the cardboard is nailed on, you must take care to make sure everything is level before nailing the cardboard in or the doors will be crooked. If the manufacturer had added metal fasteners to the particle board where they attach, used a one piece base, and added some horizontal support other than the cardboard, this could have been an excellent cabinet and not a total waste of my time that is probably going to end up in the trash.
