The cabinet shipped and arrived pretty quickly. It was not difficult to put together - you probably want to have an electric screwdriver though.

When I first put the very bottom shelf in (made of something cheap like particleboard), I was worried that it seemed too flimsy, and it didn't seem to fit very well at first. However when I put it all together the bottom fit fine, and doesn't seem to be too flimsy after all. The rest was cake.

The piece looks nice in my kitchen and doesn't take up too much space, which is great 'cuz my kitchen is pretty tiny. The top is big enough to fit my toaster-oven, and the shelves hold a good amount of stuff. The doors fit on the piece well and open and close with ease.

All in all, a good buy!

Very nice and well made cabinet. It was easy to assemble. Even someone who is not mechanically inclined (I was a machinist for 20 years) would be able to easily assemble this piece. It is very sturdy and the finish is done very well. I would recommend this to anyone looking for this type of cabinet.

These are great. I can not believe the price. Worth every penny. I now have three.

The best I can say is that it is a poorly packed piece of poor quality furniture. I ordered 2 of them because the first one came broken. I returned it and the second one was also broken. Poor packaging and poor handling partially contributed to this. Upon further examination I also realized that the product itself was of poor quality, made of heavy cardboard and pressboard. I went on line and did further research and found several all wood products for the same price. I would strongly advise against purchasing this item. The only good thing was I had no difficulty returning the cabinets. They were picked up by FEDEX at my front door. Credit was received in a timely manner.

This is the first time I have ever written a review on a product. I'm doing it because I was completely disappointed in this product. The front and back panels are cheaply constructed and spraypainted. The side panels are just flimsy particle board. The leg was broken on the front panel when I received it and I had to contact the manufacturer for a new piece - we'll see how that goes. The only reason I am giving it even one star is because Amazon.com shipped it quickly and for free. If you are considering this item - PLEASE, consider something else!

The quality of this cabinet is disappointing. The back piece was falling apart right out of the box and we had to glue it back together. The sides are very thin/ cheap panels.
I only kept it because looks ok put together and I need something now to put things away in the bathroom.
Definitely not worth the money and would not buy again.

Very sturdy and was of appropriate dimensions and styling for my needs. The doors/frame piece is awkward at best and you need to be cautious when assembling the front face as there is little to no support and breakage is possible. I had to utilize a little TiteBond2 wood glue to keep it from coming apart. Clear instructions and upon completion, solid build quality. I would buy again but would only do so knowing the manufacturer would replace the "weak" areas of their design if broken during assembly/shipping.

Catskill needs to find a better way to ship this product. The front and back frames are assembled and shipped in an unsupported cardboard box. The shipper must have either dropped the container on its corner or stacked it improperly in the truck. All sides were unattached when they were unpacked, dowels were broken and glued sections were loosened. Since no basic wooden parts were cracked I assumed I could reassemble the parts myself. MISTAKE. The stresses of the frame just wouldn't hold the cabinet together and I have now attached metal angles to secure the cabinet. If you receive a cabinet in damaged condition in any form, return it.

I read other reviews about this cabinet arriving broken and alas, I had the same experience. The packaging is beyond cheap and totally ineffective. In fact, I've drunk out of styrofoam coffee cups that contain more styrofoam than the packing included! MINIMAL styrofoam protection and a few of the pieces were wrapped in thin foam wrap which is used only to keep things from rubbing and scratching each other. So after paying $10 to take the box to my home from work and another $10 to bring it back to work to have it picked up, I'm more than a little P.O.ed. You're banking on a wing and a prayer to have this thing arrive unbroken because without it being transported like a valuable Faberge Egg, it's gonna arrive in more pieces than are listed in the instructional guide. Stick with plastic milk crates!

I was a bit concerned about this - after the first one arrived damaged. But the return was easy and they sent out a replacement immediately. The second one arrived in great condition and it took less than an hour for someone with no mechanical ability to put together. The cabinet fits perfectly in my narrow New York kitchen and gives me the extra counter space and storage that I really wanted. It feels sturdy, actually holds quite a bit (I keep some extra small appliances in there). Very happy with this purchase.
