Assembly
The packaging is impressive. Foam inserts protect the wood parts from damage. Each piece comes with labels. Hardware and other pieces that go together are packed in plastic bags so you don’t have to do the sorting anymore. What’s surprising is that the directions have pictures only. This may sound like a bad thing but it’s not. Seeing exactly how to put the cabinet together takes away a lot of guesswork. People who haven’t had a lot of experience in assembling furniture would find the pictures useful. Assembly takes 30 minutes up to an hour.
The cabinet has a slight chemical odor to it. This smell is common among new furniture so that’s to be expected. The smell takes a few hours to completely dissipate. Make sure to keep the windows open to get rid of the odor faster.
Storage
This cabinet can be used in different parts of your home. It would work well as a shoe cabinet in your entryway or garage. You can also use it to keep your towels and toiletries in the bathroom. It can serve as a mini pantry for your kitchen too. In terms of function, it is very versatile.
The cabinet is narrow, perfect for tight spaces. In terms of depth, it is deep enough to provide plenty of storage space without occupying a large footprint. The cabinet provides a large three-level storage area. You can get creative by using storage baskets to put similar items together and make the inside look tidy. The top offers additional stroage as well. Having baskets on top would make the most out of the space. If you don’t need any more storage, you can use the top as a display shelf instead.
The shelves are adjustable. This allows you to customize the cabinet according to the size of your items. Each shelf is made of a thick piece of wood. They don’t look like they are going to sag with weight. For obvious reasons, keep the weight distributed along the entire shelf.
Durability
The cabinet holds up well to daily use. It’s nothing you can pass on to the next generation but it is sturdy. As early as the assembly, I noticed that the back is thin. It is not a deal breaker as you don’t see the back when you have the cabinet against the wall. There is no need to attach the cabinet to the wall. It is short and poses no concern on stability.
The doors come with small knobs. They are easy to open and close. The doors close with magnetic latches. They don’t have a mechanism that allows the doors to close on their own. This is a good thing because you can keep them wide open without having to constantly hold them. This is handy if you have your hands full.
The white would stand out in most spaces. The slatted doors give it a vintage look. If you are working towards a farmhouse look then this cabinet would make a beautiful addition.
