I have previously placed an order for the 5 drawer cabinet, which I liked well enough. My husband put it together. I needed another so this time I ordered the 7 drawer cabinet. There were several reviews stating it was complicated to assemble. I somewhat disagree. It is definitely tedious and time consuming, but not complicated. The instruction booklet however, is mostly pictures. I recommend doing a You Tube search for this brand and how to assemble. I found that most helpful after I organized all the components and hardware. Everything went together nicely and it took me several hours, but I was watching tv while putting it together too. The only complaint I have is when I was completely finished, with on, it was wobbly. VERY WOBBLY, like one corner was lower than the others. Apparently one of the was broken. I was so tired after putting it together, that rather than remove all the , I chose to put a piece of cardboard under it to balance it. I can live with that. The drawers are flush and smoothly open and close. After completion, I realized my husband who complained how difficult the other cabinet was to assemble actually did not do it correctly. On that one he mixed up the bottom and top so that where the holes where the caster would screw in are actually on top of the unit. Also he did not align the holes to the right spot for the drawer assembly which caused all the drawer to not be flush with the cabinet. If I could make a recommendation, I would suggest about 6/12 extra screws be added to the pack to really secure the drawer glides. If not tightened properly as with the one my husband put together, they will come off the screws and the drawer will not go in. I definitely recommend using a power drill for the screws as the manual also recommends. My husband said he did not use that on the other case. Lesson learned: put it together myself LOL. Looks nice and sturdy.
PERFECT ORGANIZATION!
