Hodedah Pantry in Chocolate

This is not a solid wood custom built cabinet. It's cheap particle board from Malaysia that you put together and pray you have all the pieces and the holes line up while you try to make sense of picture only instructions. It's not for the weak or the rich. Once you accept that, you can see the beauty in this. It's under $200, and it sturdy and pretty enough to serve it's purpose. I now have matching cabinets and more storage in my kitchen and I love it! I was able to put this together myself with little help from my fiance. I like putting things together and have experience from other build yourself furniture. This is definitely one of the easier things I have built once I got past being overwhelmed by all the pieces because it looks intimidating. There were a few pieces here and there that I put on upside down or backwards, and it's sturdy enough to take the screws out and redo it. On the small microwave cart: the only flaw I noticed was that the board was chipped.. not a big deal, I don't even remember where it was. On the cabinet with doors:, the top doors don't line up evenly because of where the predrilled holes are. But everything open and shuts just fine, I don't notice it too much anymore. On the tall microwave cart with glass doors on top: I had to get the fiance to drill in the screws and stuff that secures the glass because there were no prefilled holes. It was an easy job for him and the glass is very secured to the doors now. Overall: I would buy again I am impressed They look nice and function well Can't beat the price point ($100-200 per cabinet) Accept that it's not going to be perfect

Beyond happy.... didn't want to buy something too expensive since we are not in our forever home. SINCE we are in a single we don't have a lot of space and this fit what I had in three small open furniture pieces. Which freed more room...Love that it has doors to hide what I have. Like they say OUT OF SIGHT OUT.OF MIND!!! PS. IT DOES REQUIRE TWO PPL TO BUILD AND WE TOOK ALMOST 2HRS SINCE I DID HAVE TO STOP TO FEED MY BABY. THE DOOR WERE A LITTLE TRICKY BUT WE FIGURED PUT TO PUT THE LITTLE PLASTIC DOOR HOLDER IN THE SLOT 1ST THEN SLIDE THE DOOR IN.. ALSO it didn't have the pre drill holes on the door so my husband did it before sliding the door in....

I don't mean to compare this product to woodwork in my garage, but this was significantly harder to assemble than any other piece of furniture I ever bought. This is mostly at the fault of the instruction-booklet designer for the following reasons: 1. The illustrations do not indicate the orientation of the items, so it was often a coin-flip as to whether or not I was installing correctly. Most booklets will zoom in or use a different style of indicator to help the user put together the product. This booklet had no such thing and was also short on words. 2. Some item parts shared part numbers. Fortunately, the parts were different enough to use common sense to distinguish them, but objectively it is strange to say "use No. 7 to fasten No. 7." 3. After one hour of following the instructions, the booklet had the audacity to tell me it was now time to begin step number 1. Whose idea was it to start this instruction booklet at the prequel? Anyway, the piece looks nice and it's robust for the cost. It scratches really easily, but that's a problem for a different day. I bought two of these and it's now time to build the other, so I'm going to take a nice long cry and then get to work. I am writing this review while the frustration is still fresh. The first one took around 2.5 hours to complete. I am hoping the second will only be one hour.

It is criminal that they charge $150 for this poorly made product with absolutely no quality control. Parts were completely missing, pieces were damaged, holes that were supposed to be pre-drilled were missing, nails were damaged and squished, screw cover plugs were broken, the magnet pieces were broken AND didn't fit into the holes correctly, and the plastic dowel pieces broke off with slight pressure. And to top it off, the only correct thing in the directions was that it takes 90 minutes to put together, because the directions were actually completely incorrect and it took an extra 45 minutes to disassemble it and reassemble it correctly to fit the top and bottom pieces together. Put together, this thing is actually embarrassing. It's not even worth it if it was free. The cupboards don't hit the magnets and don't close, not to mention they are HORRIBLY crooked. This thing wouldn't even be good inside a dark closet. I had to spend 30 minutes talking to Amazon telling them 1) the box was damaged and this thing was already put together, so it's unreturnable and 2) I need a refund because there's no way I'm ok with spending this money for something I can't even use. I have to now pay $35 for a dump fee to get rid of this atrocious looking thing. I rarely leave reviews, only if something is incredible and I'm happy with it, or just incredibly bad. This is by far one of the worst purchases I've ever made on Amazon.

This unit looks great when assembled, but is of mediocre quality. My first one had a manufacturing defect that caused the doors to hang crookedly, and they wouldn't close. The doors swing on vertical swivels, so this couldn't be adjusted like a true hinge. It could have been fixed with a replacement part, but the manufacturer said to contact Amazon who, of course doesn't sell just the parts. After a customer service nightmare (which I won't go into here) I finally got the 100lb unit disassembled, boxed and returned, and received a replacement. The new unit had issues too. 1) The brass bolts are not always strong enough to stand up to the torque of screwing them in with the (included) allen wrench. As a result, the heads get all chewed up and cannot be turned anymore. (My DIY solution: I used a hacksaw to cut a slot in the bad screw heads, and finished them off with a slotted screwdriver. 2) When screwed all the way in, most of the bolts do not lie flush with the surface. 3) As a result of the chewed up heads, the screw caps do not stay in the heads, and need to be glued in place. 4) At one point the instructions say: "Make sure the magnets." Make sure the magnets what? I think they mean make sure they face the correct direction. 5) Some of the stickers identifying the parts are placed on finished surfaces, and need to be cleaned with Goof Off. 6) several of the nails that hold the back on have mashed tips rendering them useless. My unit also had some tiny scratches in the laminate finish from either the packing or manufacturing process. A black sharpie will hide them, but this was not what I expected. Now that it's built, it looks good enough if you don't look too closely, but consider a higher quality unit if you're looking for a true piece of furniture.

Great product, easy assembly, sturdy. Bought 4

bought for my wife as she has been wanting to re-organize our kitchen. assembly was pretty easy enough as she put it together practically on her own. the magnets for the doors were a little difficult for her to put in so my father helped her and when she was finished she had him install the anti tip feature but otherwise she put the rest together herself. one of the handles snapped in half during assembly, but they are just plastic. she could get better handles if she was that worried about it (her words) all in all its a 9.8/10 rating from her.... would reccomend

Ordered this to put in my basement storage room for my holiday dishes and serving pieces. The instructions were good, the pieces arrived packed very well and undamaged, and I was able to put it together by myself in a couple of hours. Not sure why others had so many issues putting this cabinet together. I'm a single-mother/grandmother in my mid-50s and have been putting furniture from big box stores together for the last 30-some years. This was actually pretty easy as long as you followed the directions, which were almost exactly like the directions you get with IKEA furniture. Doors lined up perfectly and had no issues at all getting it put together. I did use longer wood screws (that I had in my toolbox) to join the top of the cabinet to the bottom section. Other than that, I did everything by the directions with what came in the box. Nice, sturdy cabinet and I'm sure I'll get good use out of it for years to come.
