Nice linen cabinet in dining area,

This review is from: Winsome Wood Timber Storage Cabinet (Kitchen)
I ordered this because of the great price and the dimensions were perfect for the space we had available in the dining room. The top section is fully open so large items and linens can have the full width of the cabinet if needed. The drawers are nice for smaller items, candlesticks, napkin rings , etc. The cabinet is very sturdy and well done especially if you take the time to put it together correctly. Assembly was easy for anyone who's handy. Nice!

SUMMARY
======= Well packaged piece, with some assembly difficulties. Looks very close to the way it is pictured online. Overall material quality is okay. DETAILS ======= Some of the parts of this cabinet aligned poorly and wouldn't sit quite flush. One of the side walls was missing two drill holes. I was able to put it together eventually and I think it is sturdy enough to last for a while, but I don't think it would very well be disassembled, transported and put together in the same shape again. When put together, it looks like pictured. Color is a shiny, deep black, as pictured. You are able to see the grain of the wood a little. I am not judging this to be good or bad, as it depends on personal preference for me, but quality wise one can probably objectively state that this is better than press wood with glued on panels. Assembly instructions state that assembly requires two people. It took two hours by myself, with little trial and error. Tools for assembly consists of screws and a hex key. When using the included hex key, you often need to reach into places to tighten screws that only allow you to turn the hex key by less than 90 degrees, which consumes most of the time for assembly. Using tools that allows you to fasten these screws without removing and re-inserting the hex key would probably as much as half the assembly time. Some of the boards are not very thick. The side walls and the board horizontally separating the drawers and the upper part of the inside are particularly thin; about 1-2/8th of an inch. When I applied little pressure on it, it would give off a crackling sound. The drawers' back ends push up against that aforementioned thin piece of horizontal board and I think, if they are loaded too much and drawn out would break or crack it. The hinges come already screwed to the left and right boards making up the sides of the cabinet and are not adjustable as in some furniture in order for the doors to close tightly, so one needs to make sure that all other pieces sit perfectly flush and at 90 degree angles. As mentioned above, some of the pieces I was not able to align perfectly flush against each other. The backside of the cabinet consists of two slightly flexible pressed wood sheets that the instructions ask you to nail against the back frame of the cabinet, as in many other furniture pieces. The packaging of the parts seemed good. All of the boards were separated with thin foam sheets that kept the parts from being scratched well enough. Delivery was on time. Here is a breakdown for the rating I chose to give this product. I personally don't care about the amount of effort I have to put into assembling a piece of furniture, as long as it is sturdy and looks good afterwards, if the assembly instructions are followed, so I did not include ease of assembly" in the assembly category. LOOK + QUALITY (4/5) ==================== I will try to avoid going too much into matters of personal taste in order to keep this review objective. The assembled piece seems to look very close to the way it is pictured online. Online pictures, as often, did not allow a close inspection of the quality of the parts. After assembly, even though some of the pieces did not sit perfectly flush, one would need to take a very close look to be able to detect these flaws. Quality of pieces and material seems okay. Some pieces are pretty thin. Wood appears to be solid (except for the back panels), not press wood, with some visible wood graining. Paint of the pieces was even and deep black, with the slight shine to it that is visible in the online pictures. Handles are metal. ASSEMBLY (2/5) ============== Assembly according to the included instructions had the obstacles of pieces badly aligning and two drill holes missing, as mentioned above. In many other reviews of furniture I have often seen a small portion of negative reviews mentioning missing drill holes such as these and I had my doubts, if the fault lay with the reviewers, but it does seem to occur. I cannot speak for how often it occurs with this manufacturer or this particular piece of furniture, but I did confirm that the holes were missing in my piece. I was able to assemble this piece, but I am a bodybuilder and strong enough to cleanly screw in the screws into the wood with the included hex key, without the drill holes. The alignment issues I mentioned above did not stem from these missing drill holes, as I was not able to cleanly align the pieces before putting in all but these particular screws. After assembly, the doors were slightly off, enough to be noticeable when opening and closing, but not enough to detect by visual inspection when closed. Some correction of this issue was possible by adjusting the two magnets that hold the doors shut and are screwed into the bottom side of the top board. PACKAGING (5/5) =============== Packaging of the pieces was very compact and individual boards were well protected from damaging other pieces, such as scratching against each other during delivery. OVERALL RATING: 3.7 ===================

Poorly made, but looks alright.,

This review is from: Winsome Wood Timber Storage Cabinet (Kitchen)
This was a pain in the butt to put together. I had to hammer in the wooden dowels in order for them to fit, which caused the wood to split on some parts that you can't really see. I could not get the back on very well, but I managed to finally put it on. The finish was scratched in some places, but it was hard to notice because it is black.
On the positive side, it does look pretty good in my dining area, but I'm hoping that it will actually hold up. 2115|R1MYAWGHJU4FW1;2115|R17SG1OQIP7UOA;2115|R3O4RHYWZOLSX1;
