I bought this cabinet for my dart board because it was the best looking one I could find and had good reviews. I think that the cabinet itself is the nicest one that I've seen for darts, but over a very short period of time the permanent black markings on the whiteboard portion of the cabinet wipe off when you clean it. I used whiteboard markers and erasers designed for whiteboards as directed by the manufacturer, but the markings rubbed off anyway within the first 6 weeks.

This is a great cabinet. It is made of solid oak and not particle board like a lot of cabinets that you find in stores. The design on the doors gives a touch of uniqueness as well. The out board and the cricket board inside the doors are perfectly sized to see as well. The lined backing is predrilled for installing with the provided screws. All the needed mounting hardware is inside the cabinet. After having some kids throwing as well, I can tell you that it is pretty durable. Simply beautiful on the wall.

Clearly there is a quality control issue at the manufacturer. One door of the cabinet had been damaged, and an amateur attempt to fix it was rather poorly done. No way should this cabinet have passed quality control, which leads me to believe there was no quality control to pass! Probably best to avoid the trouble of two transactions: one to buy this cabinet and another to return it, as I'm sure you will.

THIS CABINET IS EASY TO MOUNT. 1.5" REGULATION BOARD FITS "SNUG" WITH ABOUT A INCH OR TWO AT THE TOP. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE CABINET. HOLDS 2 SETS OF DARTS. VERY PLEASED WITH IT.

This dartboard arrived today, and the first things I noticed:
a) The dartboard is much darker than the picture, and the wood finish does not resemble the textured grain in the picture. It's more of a matte, single dark cherry color. That was disappointing.
b) The wood "carving" on the front looks to have been done by a poorly maintained machine, or a 6 year old like the other reviewer said. The cuts are not clean, and there is a clear mismatch on both sides.
c) The inside felt is a bit dirty with remnants of dust and cardboard from the factory in China where this was made.
d) There are mastic marks on the left cabinet from who knows what. Attempts to get it off so far have failed.

I'm still going to put it on the wall because the product is OK (and the house is a rental), but if I were you, I'd keep shopping.

The dartboard cabinet arrived today and it is junk. The woodwork on the doors is the worst you could imagine, like a 6 year-old carved it with a table knife. Arrived today in time for Christmas and I am too ashamed to gift it. Interested in a $70 plus piece of Chinese junk? You will be happy with this.

I looked around for a while to find this exact cabinet, I like it very much.


Thank you for haviong this one.

I feel a little bad giving this only 4 stars because of the one, fairly un-noticeable, nick on the side of an otherwise beautiful cabinet.

My darts-loving fiance had no trouble mounting it and is enjoying using it...said it was perfect.

Delivered quickly...could have been packed a bit better though.

Nice quality product. A little smaller than I was hoping for but it does the job.
