Surprisingly well built for the price. They slapped together quickly and they match my more expensive cabinets perfect. Price is spot on

Easy to build after it took a while to figure out the drawing.A better written explanation along with the drawing would have been grest.

Nicely constructed. Feels more expensive and looks good in place - shelf adjustment is a littleTedious

This cabinet is absolutely perfect! I almost did not purchase based on the reviews describing assembly. I just put it together in about 30 minutes...alone. (61 year old female...blind in one eye!) . If you just take your time it's easy peasy. I will admit the instructions were worthless...but instructions were not necessary. This is a beautiful substantial cabinet. I am buying another one for my sunroom. Wish I had bought both at once, but was nervous based on the assembly comments. BUY IT!

As described easy to assemble

Got this on 5/10/24 and have yet to be able to put together. Directions very unclear and I will probably just toss it in garbage as I no longer have original box to return as we’ve been moving in a new house and box got thrown away. I liked the way it looked as I was going to use it in my kitchen for spices. Will be looking for something else now.

This item is for those who have experience assembling kitchen cabinets. Only the face frame (that the doors attach to has any pilot holes). The back piece has actual holes for final attachment for 8 long flats head screws. Instructions do not say which screws go where. The instructions have no written step by step instructions. They have a list of parts and hardware with picture diagrams of steps to putting the parts together. The parts are not labeled or tagged so that they correspond to the parts list or diagram. You must figure it out. Placement of hardware on parts without pilot holes for cleats for the parts including the back (except the 8 on the very back -these holes are not for cleat attachment but to screw wood to wood), sides, top and bottom pieces is done solely by looking at the diagram where they are barely visible in the picture. I suggest placing the cleats in the face frame where the pilots holes indicate and then using that to dictate where they are screwed into the top, bottom and sides. I would attach the 1 cleats to top and bottom of both sides (these attach outside the box shape not in it) then attach 2 cleats to the back piece on the top and bottom (these attach outside of box). The face frame has 2 cleats on each side that attach inside the box and 1 cleat on its top and bottom that attach outside the box. Use the short dome head screws to attach all the cleats to the box (outside and inside) as any other screws will come through the wood pieces when tightened fully down. The short flat heat screws are to attach the hinges to the doors. The long dome head screws are to attach the hinges into the face frame. After all this is assembled and squared then attach the 8 flat head long screw to in the back piece which screw into the top and bottom of the box directly - tightens it up and making it more stable. Screw them in straight or they with come through the wood. You will need to make your own pilot wholes with a nail to start the screws into the pieces for the initial cleat attachments (except for face frame which as pilot wholes) if you are not using an electric drill Phillips screw driver attachment to screw it together. You will need a phillips screw driver, hammer, small nail with flat head and malet (to tap pieces into tight position before screwing down the cleats). All of this here is not in the directions. I was a novice so all the mistakes that could be made were, then I undid them after learning and finally assembled it correctly with out the electric drill screw driver. This added alot more time to the assemble process-- hours in fact. The finished product has more holes than needed because of this but thankfully not where they will be seen. I did have on screw poke through ever so slightly (also not noticeable). This was all part of learning what screw goes where, as for a novice without instructions or pilot holes it is all trial and error, and then final correction. This was created as a display table against a wall. A white laminated counter top 1 inch thick for an rv the exact measurements of the box was glued on the top with liquid nail. 4 Square 2 inch metal white legs - peel and stick risers were added to the bottom. This created a free standing 2 by 3 foot table with storage (which was sorely needed). Counter top and legs also purchased from amazon. The cabinet I purchased was white. My finish table looks attractive and it is useful. Others may not be using it in this way as it is meant to be an upper cabinet that can be wall mounted. I will also be adding glass knobs and magnet closure for doors. These are not part of the kit. These are also purchased from amazon. After openning and closing cabinets for years you learn that they don't always close all the way after a while and the magnet closure helps this. The knobs finish the look and such an addition can help blend old with new so I recommend both to finish the cabinet. I hope this helps any other novices who want to attempt putting this cabinet together to have a few less errors in their attempt. I saved about 100$ to 200$ off the finished product I created by doing it myself adding the cabinet, legs and counter top in the price total. I already had the liquid nail, knobs and magnet closures. I had gotten quotes from cabinet makers who would deliver a finished product for 500$ to 600$. My cost before tax was 400$. For me, it was worth the time and effort of self assembly but for others it may not be. The cabinet is good quality material but I would have liked a laminated finish. It is a flat white paint finish that is easily marked. I would say it is an okay finish. I would personally not buy this again because the pilot holes on the back bottom and sides would have been so extremely helpful and would have been a relatively minor addition for the manufacturer. My question for them is how much does not including them save you on each kit and how much money could you gain by including them so that they could be marketed to the home assembler (even novices)--- with a tag line of foolproof assembly, we take all the guesswork out- new to cabinets, no problem. Also label the parts with stickers and add instructions on where all the cleats go and what screws are used where. I promise you your sales will increase exponentially.

The cabinet is very strong and high quality BUT the instructions or lack thereof are horrible. Good thing my husband is a contractor and can figure things out easily.
