In looking for some extra storage, wanted something that had the same general color of other pieces. I realize this isnt heirloom furniture. This is just storage for additional glassware I dont have room for above in my kitchen.
Time to build? About an hour and a half. I was watching a movie and really didnt make optimal use of time.
Doors? Eh. Ok, so theyre not the easiest to get aligned, but overall, this is a small compromise for a decently attractive storage cabinet. I could easily have spent more, but for what? It doesnt have to announce whats inside it, which is nice: the doors arent glass or slatted. And the hinges keep the doors closed, so no need for magnets or hooks. That think/thunk on closing against a magnet? not there. Good enough.
If I had a wish or two, and this is just in a it would be nice if ... way, an additional shelf option wouldnt be too unreasonable. Also, maybe, some legs or something else as an option to raise the bottom drawer (as in, the entire cabinet) up a bit. That bottom shelf just inches off the floor means some stooping or squatting may (or not?) be necessary to properly arrange or access back of bottom shelf.
Also, because its big (ish?) its cavernous to a point, and not necessarily optimal for lighting external and likely behind the person looking into the cabinet.
These, of course, are not show-stoppers to me, but they are some things to be aware of and subsequently ignore because its otherwise good-looking storage.
Good value, very attractive
