Directions could have been a little clearer and the middle stabilizing piece broke off the minute we picked it up to move it into place where we wanted it. It looks very pretty but Im nervous about putting my china in the cabinets considering their weight. The material to hold the wine bottles was a little nerve wracking because of their wieght. Time will tell. I guess for the price its an 8 out of 10.
I didnt want to spend 500 for a wood chest at the entry way and this piece had pretty good reviews. Took me over 2 hours to put together but I am slow and methodical. Early in the assembly process I decided to use a drop or two of superior primate glue gel to the tip of each screw (and in dowel holes) as one of the screws was spinning and didnt exactly tighten into the MDF. There were a few step where having two people would have been nice but I was able to put it together alone. There is a step where you have to lower the mostly built unit into the bottom or top piece where several screws and dowels need to line up, and also for putting on the doors an extra pair of hands would be nice. I have a step stool where the step is at the exact same height as the bottom of the two doors and I used it to rest the bottom of the door on while I attached the hardware. I thought I had the doors perfectly aligned tightening only one of the eight screws per door as a pivot while I used the step to hold the door still while I tightened the other screws trying to keep the door in place to align. I thought (and I did) have them well aligned but after a few days they look slightly off. The top seemed to be a little loose while moving the cabinet but I think one of the cams is not fully tightened, now in place this is irrelevant mostly and not perceived. Its pretty good for medium density fiberboard (MDF) furniture I think I caught it on sale for about 180. I cant complain too much for the price. I have put a spotlight on the few problems. Seem to be just fine, any reservations I have is probably not paying more for a solid hardwood piece. Sturdy, pretty solid and very nice looking. cabinet: B+/A/ Update the top was not secure because I did not properly tighten/close the cam a flat screw driver fixed that problem easily. The door seem to be getting a little more crooked, maybe its my imagination, and maybe I wouldnt even notice it if the issue had not been brought to my attention in previous reviews before I bought the item. However, the cabinet doors operate just fine and without any problems. Hardly noticable especially if you arent looking for it I suppose.
My meticulous husband assembled this piece according to instructions, and it turns out that he put the top on backwards. This should be an easy fix, however he spent two days noodling around with this thing and me, being a very handy female, feel that I could have done this correctly in a third of the time, because, and mostly because I watched the assembly video. He felt that was a waste of time. As a result, we have screw caps on screws that went into the front of the unit instead of the back. It doesnt look horrible, but it bothers me, and I know its wrong.
Rather than emasculate him any further, I decided to order better hardware that Ill install myself and take a look at fixing the issue then. Ladies, tell your men that screw caps in the front of the unit are wrong!.Or just assemble it yourself. BTW, were using it as a liquor cabinet/bar in our dining room. I needed something to go under the electric fireplace and this cabinet just rocks it!
This console table is beautiful and was pretty easy to assemble. It was missing two parts when it arrived due to the box being damaged during shipping. was useless in solving my issue, but I reached out to and their customer service was aming.

Questioning the amount of Weight Supported
