I ordered two of these, and the first one is what I ordered and matched the photos on line. I carefully followed the instructions and am very satisfied with the result and the value. The shelves are strong and its lighter than some cabinets this size because the panels are thin but sturdy with good thick end pieces all wood. The packaging was also very good. Now the problem. When I ordered another one it arrived and I took it out of the box, and guess what? Its not the right cabinet, and this one sold for almost 60 dollars less (before the price when way up on the real cabinet). The cheap version has a divider and shelves that sit on plastic tabs inserted in a row of holes that looks pretty bad. The real cabinet has strong fixed full width shelves screwed into the end pieces with long bolts and the top overlaps above the doors, not like the cheap which has the doors covering the full height. So, beware the mix/up and check the model number on the box before opening it as the picture shown on the box is exactly like the other one at a glance. Why would I suspect the second one would be different? Customer service, though they did give me a refund in the end, took a really long time to work it out and I offered to keep the cheapo for a partial refund but its like they ignored that no matter how many times I wrote it in emails. It was delayed due to the holidays is my guess. I ordered this on one Nov 14th, and finally, I just put it out on the front porch to be picked up. I dont know when it will be picked up as they dont really let you know anything too specific. I made the mistake of ditching my old panty cabinet before bringing this one in, and then it was too late, so my panty is still in boxes along the hallways for weeks. Four stars for the product, but buyer beware as there seems to be many reports of this switch, not just in my case. The pictures look the same on the big box, so maybe they just cant tell the difference on their end some times, but its got to improve.
Assembly was going well until putting on the hinges. The predrilled holes in the sides were too shallow and the material the side panels are made of is too hard for the screws to go straight in with a regular screwdriver. The screws were stripping and/or going in at an awkward angle until I drilled the holes just a little. Since it was the last part of the process, it wasnt a super big deal, but still merited mentioning. I guess you could use the drill to drive in the screws, as well but that was not part of the instructions so it could cause damage.
Great storage solution for my kids toys! Im able to fit large and medium bins and even large toys inside and hide them all away. The materials are not the highest quality, but the product is not very expensive so I wasnt expecting much. I think it would be great as a pantry as well.
My prior freestanding pantry had 5 shelves and was 26 width. I was specifically looking for a 30 and 5 shelves. I loved the wood look. This one although has 4 shelves actually works better. Pretty easy to assemble. There is a lock on the handles in the photo only because we have a coo hound who likes to open and help herself

Best cabinent Ive ever had
Lots of space! Easy instructions
If they ship you the right one and its carefully assembled then it is not bad at all.

Storage
No surprises with this item. Easy to assemble, looks the same as pictured.
Great storage cabinet
Easy to assemble cabinet. Shelf size is good for a lot of storage. Looks sharp.
Have a drill handy, youre gonna need it!

Very Sturdy
I love the storage cabinet. Its very sturdy. Its perfect for my towels and sheets!
Good value
Good value for the money. Easy to build. Could be a bit sturdier. Would recommend.
Storage cabinet
Looks like on the picture. It has plenty of storage, but takes a long time to put together.
Large, economical choice for storage
