It is a nice piece but ours ended up with the doors being miss aligned. The doors are pre-assembled and one of the last pieces to be installed so at that point it was already done being assembled. Otherwise this would be 5 stars. The way we have it in our kitchen no one will ever really know so we are just living with it.
Ive put a lot of furniture together, and these instructions were clear, easy to follow and a lot was pre-done. Instead of cams and cam screws, there are levers that flip. It took a couple of hours, but no frustration and everything went together nicely.
It is not a ton of storage because its a fairly small piece, but it is adequate for the size.
Like everything, there are pros and cons:
Pros: The cabinet went together fairly easily. What I REALLY like is that for each screw/bolt bag there was one extra screw or bolt than was needed. We have all dropped or lost a screw in assembly and had to go buy another. This was an excellent example of super customer service. The cabinet seems sturdy and well designed.
Cons: Because the doors are pre-hung, if they are out of kilter you are in a bind. Now let me start off by saying most people would not notice a problem with the doors, but my wife likes everything just so. The left door was 1/8 inch too high and the right door was off on the bottom hinge so they did not align perfectly. It would have been a LOT better had the door hinges been the type that have a slot you can adjust up and down and then tighten. You just can't resink a hinge screw 1/16 inch below the other hole -- they rip the hole and make a mess.
The instructions: they don't mention it but it would be a good idea to have a very light-weight finishing hammer to close the wood clips. Trying to close them with your fingers can get painful. Also installing the shelves in step 13 of the instructions should be moved to the end of step 14 because you have to remove the top shelf to access the two screws for the top.
These are very minor problems and as I said, most people probably would not notice if the doors are slightly misaligned.
Wish List: One thing I would really like to finish off this cabinet is an optional stainless steel top or a stainless overlay for the top. I'm pretty rough on my kitchen countertops.
Love this. Looks amazing in our kitchen. I put it together myself, but it wasnt easy! Instructions were easy to understand but tons of parts and steps. Overall, great and would definitely recommend!
As a 75 year old female I can honestly say this was the easiest ready to assemble piece of I ever done. Everything was well packaged and labeled. I also really like how the locking system worked.
I love virtually everything about this. The only thing that knocked it down a star is that the wheels are small and the locks are hard to push down with your foot and didn't completely lock the wheels on mine. I doubt this will be a problem as I've packed it full of heavier small appliances so I don't think it's rolling anywhere
I am thrilled with this product. Seems like good quality and though it had many pieces it was very easy to put together! I am however upset with the fact that the description says white and its an off white. It does not match my other cabinets

Over all it is nice
It is a nice piece but ours ended up with the doors being miss aligned. The doors are pre-assembled and one of the last pieces to be installed so at that point it was already done being assembled.

Straight forward assembly, somewhat small

Just ok damaged
Arrived with dings and scratches

Looks great, sturdy

Fit perfectly
The only issue is would have liked to have a couple more braces for the leaf, a little unsteady if pressure is put on.
Good value for the price

Truly a great cart

Not white as described. More of an off white.

So nice!
Price was a bit more then I'd hoped to spend but honestly it's worth it. Nice piece for my kitchen
