Mine looked just as shown when finished. It took longer than it should have. I originally emailed , asking for a replacement part on August 24th. The seemingly automated response, replied I would get a quicker response if I ordered the part directly and directed me where to do so. However it just said that it would speed the process. I lost my nephew the week I got it and just had more important things going on. Life is that way. I emailed on 10/1 that though I know ordering would speed up, I still expected some sort of response to the email. I was upset and as I work in customer service for a living expected more. I got a reply the next day. They were were out of the well nut. But to make up for things, offered to resend the whole unit. I just got in 10/8 It is a different color, white rather than my black one. But I just needed the part. Put it in my cabinet and all is well. It took me just over an hour to put together minus hanging the last 2 doors. It was awkward for a woman who is 5 foot 4 inches, but I managed. Laminate has came a long way. And for some companies this shows cosmetically. Not the case here. It seems to scratch fairly easily. And I know to be careful. But it is solid and will hold up for my purposes. I had priced cheaper units at the Swedish warehouse store, but the looks and style did not compare for the price. As for as the holes in the wrong place. I have noticed many prefab kits are classified as wont fit by people who dont assemble things often. I just waited on tightening the hinges. And all went well and the finished product looks lovely. A good look for the price and sized and shown. I really love I have a place to hide, my pantry, items. I have a studio lacking in storage. This was a great by. And I am glad to have purchased this. And would do it again.
A lot of pieces
