First off this is for the 54 wall cabinet in black.
I got rid of an old hutch/ desk and intended it to replace with a more sleek contemporary look. Will have a glass office table and this cabinet. In my den.
Scratches and scuffs / if you read reviews you will see this is the primary ding. Mine had some minor scuffing at some areas. Not a lot but if you are looking for perfection look elsewhere. Appears it may be from stuff moving about in foam packaging?
The materials / Again this is laminated partial board so you get what you pay for.
Assembly / If you have assembled furniture like this its not a big deal, if you are not into assembly then buy something assembled. I put it together with patience and followed directions. Took me 4 hours but I am very slow and methodical. Only caveat is I installed doors and shelves after I wall mounted it. As I lifted it on to the mounding board myself. It was a great plan and glad I did it. Heard complaints about it being out of square. I checked mine and was square within 1/16.
I bought my own ss screws for mounting. Worth the effort and price for me. Wanted to make sure screws long enough for my situation and wanted quality screws. I installed more screws through the bottom and top lateral back (this cabinet does not have a full wood back, it has a laminated cardboard back).
Door adjustment / Read complaints in this. Not a big deal for me. Doors required some minor adjustment as is common with all cabinets. They have directions on this. My door alignment 95 ok.
Handles / They are cheap. I will replace eventually.
Parts / had all the parts except shorted on door bumpers. Dont even think I need them.
Summary / Good for what it is. Not living room Quality. Good price. Takes some work.
Soft close hinges a plus. Looks pretty good on our den wall. Wife impressed.
Is what it is/ but I like itp
