The Madison Bathroom Floor Cabinet arrived packed very well, Styrofoam between every part. It was fairly easy to assemble and very sturdy. So why the one star? The description says adjustable shelves... they are not. The top shelf is integral to the sturdiness of the cabinet with dowels and metal hardware. The second shelf is installed in a predetermined spot as well, dowels only. That was a deal breaker, I needed the adjustable shelves. I was ready to ship it back but decided to omit the lower shelf altogether rather that deal with the repackaging and return. Luckily that works for my application. I can live with the holes where the shelf would have been.
Additional notes:
The metal fasteners are made of pot metal and one broke before reaching the 180 degree lock point. I will see how quickly the manufacturer sends me a replacement (there was no extra hardware included).
The particle board is not very dense. When your hardware makes contact with the particle board, STOP immediately. Going even slightly tighter WILL strip out the hole.
Follow up: The Seller responded quickly to my email and sent me a replacement for the broken fastener. We are happy with the cabinet despite non-adjustable shelves. Thus, I increased the rating to 3 stars. If adjustable shelves are not important to you, you will be satisfied with your purchase.
