Slightly overpriced and disappointing but I believe it will serve its purpose for light duty use.
This would be a 5 star product if priced $125-150. For what you get, this is way overpriced at over $200. This is lightweight laminated presswood/fiberboard. Definitely NOT any type of solid wood anywhere on this product. The door look like they would have a wood texture, but they are as smooth as glass. The wood grain look is very much artificial and is laminate glued to the presswood door.
The back is not a single solid piece...instead it is 4 separate, thin panels that drop into routed out channels. You must screw in little clips on the backside to prevent the thin panels from slipping out of the little channels. As long as you are not overfilling the cabinet or pressing on the back, I dont think this will be a problem.
Overall, I like the look of the cabinet but it screams flatpack furniture (a step below Target or ). This definitely looks better online than in person.
The pros are that the legs are metal (not plastic) and the door handles are good quality (not plastic). It is roomy inside, but the inner shelves are NOT adjustable. There are magnets inside each door to help keep them closed.
Assembly was easy and uneventful. It took my an hour and fifty minutes from beginning to end. The last 10 minutes or so was spent adjusting the doors so they wouldnt rub. Adjustments are easy enough to make by loosening the hinge screws and sliding the door one way or another before retightening the screws back down.
I plan to use this to store bins of art supplies in my studio. I would not fill this with anything heavy or sit a heavy television on top. For light duty purposes, I believe this cabinet will work out well.
I plan on switching out the handles and painting the legs to give the cabinet an aesthetic upgrade. Time will tell with this one...I am still undecided if I would recommend this to a friend or not. I am okay with what I got but still slightly disappointed.
