For practical purposes, this cabinet does what a cabinet is supposed to do. It offers storage. So if youre looking for something that offers you a little more storage than just 3 drawers, this would serve that need.
Now putting it together. What can I say? This was a lot harder than it seemed. My 13 year old son had to come and rescue me and became equally frustrated (and he can hyper/focus and build furniture without too much frustration). Lots of pieces, lots of undoing and redoing, screw and unscrew. Finally, it serves its purpose, but I put the top on the bottom and the bottom on the top. I wasnt going to dismantle the entire thing// NO WAY! The drawers dont close as easily but it could be from me being challenged in furniture building. This certainly put my relationship with my son to the test // he asked me to step away and let him try to fix what I had done. Im definitely not as smart as a 7th grader.
All of that to say, if youre someone who knows how to build furniture and can follow directions // do not skip a step // and have patience and get satisfaction from seeing the product of your hard work, go for it. This cabinet will not only satisfy your need for storage, but also your need for a satisfying and productive days work. In my case, its storage and a humbling reminder of my limitations.
Cute and practical, not that easy to assemble
