Visually sound, but very poorly designed
Aesthetically, it looks great. It looks great in pictures, and it might even look good in person. But mine doesn't. There's a lot left to be desired design wise.For starters, it's not balanced. If you open the doors, it'll tilt forward. So it needs to be screwed into the wall. If I'd known this I wouldn't have bought it. Now it's both more difficult to move, and I have a new hole in my wall.The screws were harder to put in than in anything I've ever ordered and built before. The holes for the screws weren't so much holes as markers to where screws should go. Especially difficult when it came to attaching the handles.The back panel is a little off in terms of fit. It didn't line up with the edges of the other pieces, and the end result is that its very easy to misalign as you drive in the 20 nails it comes with.The bottom is hollow. Which again adds to the balance problems. I think if there were a flat piece along the bottom it would help solve a lot of the issues it has. And it would look better.Overall I'm not upset that I bought it. But I definitely wouldn't buy anything from them again. And had I had all the details prior to purchasing, I never would have.

For the price! You can't go wrong!
Very easy to install, looks great! Perfect for a small storage cabinet!The cons: the back board is slightly to small so when you put the nails in, your so close to the edge that it splits the wood! You cant see it as it's in the back!My second con: it's easily fixable but should be included! The door if not closed properly its won't stay closed! There's no magnet or claps to hold it closed! I paid. 75¢ for one at our hardware store and fixed the issue. The reason I'm having this issue! The floor isnt perfect leveled in our Landry room as it's still concrete and the floors aren't installed!But over all! It's perfect for the price, the shelves are adjustable and it's looks great!

Looks good and is very sturdy.
I used this unit as a shoe cabinet to clear the clutter in my entry. It looks very elegant (I upgraded the handles), and is very sturdy. It was a breeze to put together. (I recommend using an electric screwdriver, which saves wear and tear on the wrists.) It has a bracket to attach it to the wall; but mine is very stable, so that wasn't necessary.I've read complaints from some that theirs wouldn't stay closed, and they'd had to buy a magnetic catch. Either they hadn't noticed the catches that were included -- or the manufacturer has added them to the unit after the complaints. But mine came with catches and stays nicely closed.

Assembly needed
Bought this cause I need more storage, happy that I did!Pros-looks nice in any roomPretty sturdy comes with a L bracket to hold it against the wall. If you have kids or pets and your worried they tip it forward my climbing on it.Cons-The assembly manual could be clear. Just make sure you look it over first and take your time. I would recommend this product. Hope this was helpful

Came damaged and scratched
I bought two of these shelves and put them together this past weekend.The first box I opened, the item was a little damaged. One of the boards was broken and the doors had some scratches… I ended up gorilla gluing the board back together and building the rest of the shelf.The instructions aren’t great - you basically get pictures and try to follow what they’re doing.I got to the door stage and was putting on the handles but the screws won’t thread properly - they just keep falling off. I’m going to have to purchase new screws for this unit.The second box and shelf came in great shape and was easy to put together (without any issues). Everything fit together nicely, and once completed looked wonderful.I’ve given this a 3 stars because of the issues I had with the first shelf unit. I would probably consider buying another in the future because they are sturdy and hold quite a bit of stuff.
