I write reviews only when the product I've ordered is either VERY bad or exceptional. If it is what I expected for my money I consider that I got what I paid for and don't bother to write a review.
I ordered two of these because they looked attractive and were the right size for the area I planned to place them. The thought was to stack them and use them for storage in my kitchen. I am so very pleased that I have already ordered two more (also to be stacked) for another area where I could use storage.
1. They came with a leaflet identifying each part (though the parts weren't marked it was easy to see what was what by the pictures). The leaflet had no actual instructions but a visual of what went where was clear and easy to follow.
2. As others have said, they are made of particle board but it appears to be of fine, sturdy quality and finished beautifully. Once I got them together (as I said, a very easy job) they look like high-priced furniture.
3. They were very nicely packaged with more than sufficient protection so that all arrived intact and unblemished.
4. I installed the legs (which appear to be very sturdy and made of metal) on only one, covered the top with a very strong glue and carefully placed the second one on top of the first.
After sitting overnight the cabinets are solidly attached and really look nice as a single piece of furniture. The tops of the units are a bit wider so there is a little overhang but I think it adds to the beauty of my project. I took a couple of pictures. The cabinet looks crooked but it was the angle at which I took the picture. The cabinet is perfectly straight!
I noticed a comment about the small size but since I have a habit of reading the measurements and checking to see if they will work for me the size was perfect. Any larger and it would have dwarfed the area in which it sits.
All in all, this was a bargain and I'm tickled with the result of my project!
Awesome!
