Overwhelming number of parts; door hinges the worst
Difficult to understand why assembling a small, ordinary cabinet has to take 3 hours. And I am not a weak old lady; I have assembled many cabinets, tables, and desks, over the years, always expecting to complete the task in less than 30 minutes and never disappointed. The number of parts makes it very time consuming, not to mention the set up of the door hingesneedlessly cumbersome due to a pathetic design: Each hinge (four in total for the two door) has essentially 4 independent parts (which need to fit very neatly together to work and its very easy that they just dont want to fit together) and 6 screws that dont even enter smoothly into the holes of the metal parts and require a lot of patience (and strength, so be aware of this fact if you dont have strong hands). I wished I had the designer in front of me when I was putting it up. Even the final setup does not look good, with one door slightly tilted (the screw to level it snapped and now it cannot even turn). No good. If I knew in advance the hassle I wouldnt have touched this cabinet with a ten/foot pole.
