Very poor quality
By YVerified Reviewer from Los Angeles on 10/25/2008
Cons:
Flimsy Construction
Describe Yourself:
Budget Shopper
Primary use:
Business
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very poor quality finish. Thin walls. Screws are longer than thickness causing them to show up on the doors.

 
not bad for price
By cmVerified Purchaser from vermont on 10/1/2008
Pros:
Easy To Assemble
Cons:
Flimsy Construction
Best Uses:
Informal Use

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This item has thin cardboard for a back side and it is not even colored it is gray cardboard, the doors wont hang exactly even/correct BUT overall for some quick, cheap storage, it gets the job done ok. I screwed a board across the back of the unit both near the top and bottom then I screwed it to the wall as up against the wall on carpet it felt like it may tip forward if pulled on or loaded up, so secured it to wall for safety reasons.

 
Good Sturdy Product
By Childrens Church TeacherVerified Purchaser from Eastview, KY on 8/27/2008

Bottom Line:

I can store the childrens' crayons, paper, books, projects, etc and be able to find them easily. Closing the cabinet doors hides it all so when the room is used for other church functions it is not messy. A great size--

I wasn't expecting anything great because of the price and it looks kind of cheap in the picture but I really needed storage in my kitchen and couldn't find anything at a reasonable price. But it actually looks better than the picture shows and I'm very happy with it. [...]

Good but there is space between the door
By AnnVerified Purchaser from Germantown, MD on 8/13/2008

Great price, the only draw back is there is gap between the doors when you close them.

 
Mediocre but OK at the price
By ThurmVerified Purchaser from Indy on 7/28/2008
Pros:

Cons:
Flimsy Construction

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Just when you think they can't reduce the quality of American products anymore, they do. I have built cabinets of this style going back 30 years, and this product is definitely mediocre compared to earlier units. However, considering the price is the same as I paid for those earlier cabinets, one can't really expect much. Their appearance is ok, and they will work for storage of light to medium weight items. I would suggest not putting in large boxes of computer paper or lots of books. The particle boards will sag under the weight after a period of time, if not just catastophically fail.

I discarded the back; paid [$]for a section of overstock paneling to replace it. The added rigidity is worth it. I also added a locking hasp. Total cost [$]for a really nice storage unit.

I bought one then ordered another great.
By Barb the teacher.Verified Reviewer from Upstate New York on 5/19/2008
Pros:
Sleek design not bulky
Cons:
Back is cardboard gray
Best Uses:
Office organiztion
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, Practical
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

For the money it's great.Looks nice in my home office and my bedroom for household storage. I did drill more holes and added two more shelves.
The only drawback is the gray colored cardboard used in the back-usually they color the cardboard
to match the wood grain. But since I am the only one opening the cabinet I don't mind too much.
