I guess I can live with it but could have been better
Ive had my eye on this for a long time and I finally decided to purchase, but I may have over hyped it in my head. When I received it and pulled all of the pieces out of the box I noticed a lot of little scratches or imperfections in the finish and some of the spray foam they used to pack the box stuck to the finish and I couldnt even get all of the foam residue off without ruining the finish. I tried water, rubbing alcohol, and goo gone or goof off all with little luck.
I received two sets of the page 3/4 instructions but never page 1/2 so I had to assemble the first half blind. Everything is pre drilled and its relatively intuitive as to which screws go where. I did have to redo some of it because of the missing instructions.
Eventually got it all assembled and it looks pretty good, I can live with it, but you can still see some of the foam residue and imperfections in the finish. The other thing thats slightly disappointing is the left door doesnt quite close well enough for both of the magnets to grasp the metal piece when the door is closed. I might have to fashion some form of spacer to help that situation out.
In summation this does exactly what I wanted it to do, but Im somewhat disappointed in the quality of what I received. If I had to do it all over again Im not sure Id repurchase but I can live with it.
