Lots of storage for small space living, but need time to assemble
Cons:
/ This is one of those products that I think its worth mentioning the cons first. Youll have to decide if its worth the time you spend vs the money you spend for it before complaining.
It takes me around 5 hours to get everything together because the instruction manual has only pictures. Yes, itll be guess work and sometimes when you put things in the wrong place, youll have to go back and fix your mistakes. So its best to have an electric drill to undo your wrongdoings, if any. So it isnt easy to assemble.
/ Have to be somewhat gentle. These are made of sturdy boards, not solid wood. You cant go ham with your drill and expect it to hold up. Youll only make parts look unparalleled because of unnecessary force.
/ Be careful when installing the rails. I put up a picture so you can see whats up. Because I put them in the wrong positions before and it was hard to go back when everything else is finished. The part with a long hollow section will be on the sides of your drawers. So youll just have to make sure your rails fit on either sides. Sometimes the manual guidelines dont do a good job of explaining, and/or the pictures belong to older models, they dont fit.
Pros:
/ MDF board, which is Medium Density Fiberboard. But because its not plywood, you dont have to worry about mold, bug, or wood cracking.
Plus, its stronger and more durable.
/ Thats also why it has a great value. Because MDF board. I grabbed this when it was 140. I could have spent at least 100/200 or more to get something similar. So Id buy again if I could.
/ Lots of storage capacity. My apartment kitchen is small. So having this cabinet is not only giving me counter space, but also a ton of storage that I dont have. This is a winner for small space living.
/ Have many usages. I use the cabinet storage as a stationary kitchen island as well. I serve it with some bar stools and voila, its a small dining table for 2.
/ You can move the inner shelf to a different level to suit your needs.
/ Magnetic lock. Ah yes. Some cabinet till this day doesnt equip with this feature. Go figure. Closing/opening the cabinet doors is a breeze.
Verdict:
/ Definitely worth a buy. Save me a lot of money if I want to spend on a similar cabinet.
/ Have someone to help you so itll cut down time in half. Like I said I put together alone and it took me roughly 5 hours mainly because some parts I didnt do right based on wrong/old model pictures, so I had to redo them. But 2 people would make it easier.
/ Lay out every single part and label everything if its missing. Youll thank me later. It helps me a lot in grabbing the right piece. Good luck.
