Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been putting kits together, wood, metal, you name it, since I was a kid. I've had plenty of experience with heavy particle board covered with formica like this unit. But this kit is RIDICULOUS in DESIGN.
It has screws and cams and glue and pegs. Problem is, it's HEAVY, and when you go to turn it, watch out or it will fall apart (actually crunch is a better word) during assembly, taking out the built-in plastic pieces where you're supposed to drill the screws into (the idea being to then hook them on another piece by turning a cam into a hole).
AND, you MUST turn the piece, awkward as it is, to get under and at the sides. The BOTTOM IS NOT SOLID; it is designed in 3 pieces...it sounds good, but that's the biggest FLAW. One whole horizontal bottom-side piece broke off as I raised it to put on the opposite vertical side piece which had a combo of something like 10 pieces of screws and pegs, AND was raised off the ground by plastic floor protectors; in other words, no way to work it flat, and no instructions on how to turn it.
The screw plastic which had been imbedded in the wood pulled out leaving 2 wicked ragged gaping holes in the lower part of the main body. I put in some good ole Elmers and smashed everything back to flat as best I could. (And good thing I had my trusty Elmer's, cause the glue they give is only enough for a toy version...pitiful). It managed to hold, but then was 1/4" short so that the cam on the other side lower trim would not fit in far enough to grip, and it leaves a gap at the bottom FRONT. Sauder needs to go back to the drawing board! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Oh and the middle section is just an open hole. I was thinking "cat door," but no door, just a hole.
And only 1 adjustable shelf (you'd think 2 since both sides are drilled for shelves).
And cushion is tan, not white.
