As long as you take your time and follow the assembly instructions, you should have no problem with this functioning properly. You have to double and triple check that your unfinished panel sides are facing in the correct direction, just as the instructions say over and over throughout the booklet. Its not difficult, if youre patient enough to pay attention! Why the 3-star rating? I took one star off for poor packaging. Mine arrived with the box torn, so some of the veneer on the front of the drawers is scuffed off, and there was one larger piece chipped off completely. I took another star off, because its too easy to have some of the particle board break off while sending a screw through it. If you dont have the angle perfectly lined up, its very easy to kinda break through the side of the wood and wind up with chunks of wood breaking off. Hard to explain, but just be sure youre always screwing in the long screws at a perfectly straight angle. I am using this cabinet as extra drawer space on my kitchen countertops. I am currently renting, and this kitchen only has 2 drawers, so I had to come up with a storage solution for more drawers. After a lot of searching, I decided to go with this 2-drawer unit (theres also a 1-drawer option). Its very large and takes up an entire area on my countertop, but now I have a place for all my knives and specialized cooking utensils and gadgets. I lined it with shelf liner. When I move from here, perhaps Ill be able to use it in a closet, as intended.
