First off, the box is very heavy. I can see why many have complained about damage. Due to the weight, it should be packaged a bit better by the manufacturer.
I saw a couple of pieces damaged when I opened the box but figured either it wouldn't be noticeable or hidden. Got down to the last piece, the door, and noticed the damage I missed right on the front. Thank goodness for Amazon! I got it picked up by UPS and here I am 1 week later and ready to put the replacement together.
About the nondamaged pieces. Putting it together was not easy. The round screw lock pieces broke too easily. Getting things properly lined up and tightened was a hard chore. Some of the holes weren't drilled properly and were too deep or not deep enough - both of which brought on some finagling and manipulation. But once we got it to work, it was solid......which is why I was so upset that I had to take the whole thing apart, box it up and wait to have it replaced.
This is s nice cabinet for a decent price. But as others have stated as well, beware of possible damage.
Ohhhh....the amount of STYROFOAM that was broken into teeeeeny weeny little tiny pieces all over EVERYTHING (I mean evvverything) was unreal.
UPDATE 1/8/16
Well Amazon quickly shipped the replacement. It came in a somewhat different box with no damage. (And minimum Styrofoam snow with this box - completely different from the first box) Since I had put the other one together and took it apart, putting this one together went much smoother. All pieces fit ok (not completely 100% but ok), I was pleased. It looks nice but I don't think it'll take a lot of moving from one spot to another. There were 2 parts that had a little less than a 1/8" gap. Also with the front door, the top shuts flush whereas the button has approx a 1/8" gap. Youcan't see it unless you really look hard. I'm not too wild about the knob on the door but it can easily be replaced with a trip to The Depot. All in all, I'm satisfied and love the look.
