We were basically on the second to last step of assembly and had a piece break into two pieces. You install small blocks inside the cabinet that the cabinet door hinges attach to. One of these blocks split into two pieces. It was then that we saw the block was not made of wood or even mdf, but it was literally just pressed paper fiber board covered with a stamped wood design paper. The piece is marked S and there are 4 identical blocks. I have tried to write to the seller via . I have received a reply, but I was not able to send photos because it made the size of my message to large. The seller gave me a different email address and I sent my email and photos to that address but have not received any follow up. With out this block piece, there is no means to secure the cabinet door onto the cabinet. This is not the style cabinet where you can just not put doors on it. If this block piece was replaced or functioning I would give this cabinet 5 stars. It is just MDF board with a paper word design glued on it, but it still looks quite nice. The legs are very attractive and very sturdy. The feet on the legs do not have levers, but the matte color is really pretty and stylish. I sure do hope this seller will do right and send to me the replacement part necessary to be able to install the cabinet door. Seeing the very poor quality of this essential block piece makes me feel like the other blocks are likely to suffer the same fate.
