8925 Stackable 2-Door Organizer, Espresso

For what it is, it is wonderful. You cannot expect a super high quality piece of furniture for forty bucks. What you can hope for is straight cuts, well drilled holes, an even finish, and easy instructions to get the whole thing together in a short amount of time. On that scale, this exceeded my expectations. I have a bar area under our island that is too shallow to be used comfortably, it is only 12" deep. What this left me with was a HUGE section of my kitchen island that was not able to be used since it had no storage either. I looked off and on for for two years to find a pre-made solution to no avail; nothing was less that 12" deep. I almost bought two IKEA RAST dressers to fill the space and provide drawer storage, but IKEA discontinued it before I could by them. On a fluke I come across these units in a different section of amazon, I had been looking at kitchen shelves but found these in closet storage. At the time I saw them they were over $65 each do I held off until they dipped below $45 and bought two. These shelves-with-doors units set side-by-side to fit the vacant area in my island perfectly! They look nice enough, I swapped out nicer handles, and they hold all of my baking supplies; so now my baking station is on one whole side of the kitchen, conveniently all stored together within arms reach of where I bake. Here is another thing I like about them, they are dirt simple to put together! The first one took me 37 minutes to assemble, yes, I timed myself. The second one took 23 minutes. Everything was cut correctly, I was not missing any hardware, nothing was scratched, nothing was warped, everything was labeled, the instructions were very easy to follow and they didn't smell bad like some things I have put together from press board. Overall, they are a solid B- on looks, bumped up to a B with better handles. This is not an heirloom, this is a storage solution ready to work. I love them, they added so much storage and value to a neglected chunk of real-estate in my kitchen.

If you’re expecting a quality piece of furniture, look elsewhere. Depending on what you're buying it for, there are definitely better choices out there. I recently tore out an ugly stock pantry cabinet in my kitchen to rebuild a larger, nicer one in its place, but it’s just too hot to take on a woodworking project outdoors right now (I live in Alabama), not to mention my lack of time, so I bought this cabinet as a temporary fix until late autumn. All I can say is, it serves the purpose I needed it for. And that was to get all my kitchen junk off my counters until I could replace my pantry cabinet. Having read all the negative reviews, I knew what to expect and made the decision that was best for me based on my situation. Construction: It arrived with nicks and dings, plus a scratch on one of the doors. Again, it’s temporary so I won't fuss about that. Also, RTA furniture isn't exactly known for its ability to endure shipping. No matter how well it's packaged.. It’s idiot-proof to put it together. Not complicated at all. I will say this in favor of it, it doesn’t seem as rickety as many reviewers would have you to believe, IF you put it together properly. The panels are screwed directly into each other instead of using cam screws, so that alone helps structural integrity. Once my back panel was tacked on, it didn’t sway at all, even without the shelves in. The bottom skirt helps with that as well. Tip: I’ve come to learn over the years that RTA furniture tends to need a little fine tuning to be the best it can be. It’s particle board, plain and simple, so the joints are never all that strong. A good idea is to buy a few corner braces (very inexpensive) and secure each joint with one on each end. Also, the shelf pins that accompany this cabinet are plastic, so you if you want, you can easily upgrade to a bag of metal pins for just a buck or two. If you know you’ll be storing things on the heavy side, you may want to take these precautions or your cabinet will soon be falling apart on you. Your choice... Size: I studied its dimensions before I ordered it and used my tape measure to get an idea of size where I'd be placing it, so I didn’t go into it thinking I was getting something bigger than I actually was. Surprisingly, it holds a good bit of my kitchen stuff. I’ll be using it in conjunction with a fridge side rolling pantry, so it’s perfect for my needs right now. Overall: I think with light use, this could be an okay piece of furniture. If you have things you just want to hide away that you don’t use on a daily basis, this is your cabinet. Maybe in a guest room or your very own bedroom. You might also like to buy one for a teen going off to college. It's decent looking and better than the little plastic cubbies most big box stores try to shove down your throat during college moving season. It may even last until they graduate, if taken care of. I would not be bold enough to use this in a kid’s room. Again, it’s just not up to the task of vigorous use. The biggest gripe I have is that the espresso color went down from $39.95 to $27.96 (which is the more logical price for the cabinet) only a few weeks after I bought it. My recommendation that you purchase this cabinet is contingent upon you keeping your expectations VERY realistic. You are indeed getting what you pay for. Edit 9/12/2020: I came back to increase my initial rating of this cabinet from a 1 to a 4 because fair is fair. Despite its suspect quality when I first bought it, it really has held up over the years. After using it in a few different rooms in my house, I ended up finally giving it to my sister when I outgrew my need for it. What impressed me is that it has survived pretty much every day use over the past four years, was moved numerous times and looks exactly the same as the day it was purchased. There are no broken shelves or shelf pins. The doors are still in tact. Everything is good. Like I said in the original review, the life of it largely depends upon how you assemble it. I know it stinks to have to do extra to something after you've already paid for it, but hey, it's relatively cheap compared to other cabinets and the tune ups needed to make it better aren't costly at all. Grab a bottle of wood glue, a few corner braces and you're good to go. And that's just for heavy storage. For light stuff, you shouldn't have to do anything to it. Overall, I'd give anyone my complete blessing to buy this shelf. I stand by it 100%.

I run a little vinyl decal shop out of my house, and desperately needed a better way to store my rolls of vinyl. I found this affordable cabinet, and decided to give it a shotz because it fit my minimum of 12" height requirement for at least one shelf. It was pretty easy to put together, and everything fit just fine. Yes, the wood isn't superior quality, and it does start to flake if you move it wrong, but it hasn't flaked too terribly bad for me, and I've slid it around on my carpet a bit when I rearranged my office. It has done the job of holding several rolls of vinyl and tape, along with other miscellaneous supplies. I also have an Epson printer sitting on top of it and it's holding up fine. It comes with a piece to attach and mount it to a wall. I see why. It is very easy to push over, so if you have kids or pets that will be moving around this cabinet, it WILL fall over. But, since I don't have that issue, I decided to not mount it to my wall. The color is very pretty and just like the picture. Overall I am happy with this purchase.

I bought a similar cabinet from Walmart several years back and then I needed another one for my growing blurays' storage. And I am happy for my purchase from Amazon. First, I was worried about the colour "expresso" but it looks actually more like black which matches my existing one. Second, the assembly was as easy as fun, anyone who can fry an overeasy egg can do this assembling work. Now the new one nicely line up with the old and two cabinets can store many hundreds of blurays, DVDs and video games. If you look for some space-saving for more storage, and if you think the price is right, it's a good choice.

Me encanto este organizador. El tamaño es súper práctico. Es fácil de armar y además trae un instructivo que se entiende fácilmente. Con el envío no tuve ningún inconveniente y el paquete llego bien protegido. El material es sencillo pero lo justo por el precio y con acabados que dan buena apariencia

Very easy to install, looks great! Perfect for a small storage cabinet! The cons: the back board is slightly to small so when you put the nails in, your so close to the edge that it splits the wood! You cant see it as it's in the back! My second con: it's easily fixable but should be included! The door if not closed properly its won't stay closed! There's no magnet or claps to hold it closed! I paid. 75¢ for one at our hardware store and fixed the issue. The reason I'm having this issue! The floor isnt perfect leveled in our Landry room as it's still concrete and the floors aren't installed! But over all! It's perfect for the price, the shelves are adjustable and it's looks great!

El closet es práctico, de buen diseño y fácil de armar pero los materiales son en mi opinión demasiado frágiles.

Very difficult/confusing to assemble since there is no instruction / handbook at all. Apart from that that is an excellent product with this price. Elegant looking and spacious.
