HomePlus Collection Storage Cabinet, Soft White finish

I was a bit hesitant at first because I saw a lot of damaged product reviews, but since this cabinet is exactly what I was looking for I decided to give it a try and hope luck was on my side. I have to say, I declare myself a total Sauder Fan! I am impressed with the quality of this (and other thin cabinet that matches the set). I bought 3 cabinets (this large one + 2 thin ones) and I am absolutely in love with it. Pros: -It was VERY WELL packaged. I personally didn't have any problems with the product out of the box. No scratches or whatsoever. -Has a beautiful contemporary style -Lots of storage, perfect for a pantry cabinet! -Sturdy: stands up well, you can adjust the legs on each side if needed. -VERY EASY to build. I have to say. The instructions were very easy to understand, and you don't really need help. I am a lady (writing from Hubby's account) and I built it on my own. It took me about 2 hours because I was fooling around with my dog being in the way :) I only used help to line up the doors and have my hubby help me move it and flip it around so it wouldn't scratch. Cons: Honestly, I only found one thing to list in cons -if that- and is that the finish WILL scratch if you are NOT careful when building it, if you are careful with the pieces and don't drop anything you SHOULD be fine. It happened to me that I got careless and dropped one piece on top of another (maybe a 10 inch drop) and it did scratch the finish some but nobody else to blame there but me. I just list it as a con because it can be very delicate since it's still press wood with a veneer, so if you scratch that veneer, well, it won't look the best. In overall I am VERY pleased with this product and I will buy Sauder products again given the chance.. 10/10!

Es buen mueble pero uno de los entrepaños viene dañado. No me Interesa devolver todo, solo que me envíen el entrepaño que sustituya al dañado (ver última foto), ya que tiene un dobles que no debería tener

We will use this cabinet as a kitchen pantry, since our house doesn't have a pantry closet. We bought it to replace our old one which was smaller and less sturdy. It took approximately 8 hours for my very capable 10-year-old and me to put together. This was not our first time assembling furniture, but it was definitely the most complicated one we've attempted. The instructions were mostly easy to follow. It was sometimes unclear which direction things like shelves should go, and we did have to take the door with the shelves apart, reverse the shelves and put it back together. Parts were labeled adequately. The assembly was fairly straightforward, although I don't understand why there were some spots with pre-drilled pilot holes for screws, and some spots where you had to make the pilot hole yourself. It doesn't recommend using an electric screwdriver, but if you put it on a low speed and use it carefully, it is immensely helpful. The twist-lock fasteners were more cheaply made than the ones I remember from assembling Sauder products in the past - if I'm recalling correctly, they used to be metal but now are mostly plastic, and they weren't as easy to tighten. There was some damage to the top molding - at first I thought it was some kind of tape residue but then realized it was actual damage to the veneer. I was able to order a replacement from Sauder's website and I will report back if I have any problems with that. Overall, a good product and it looks really nice, and will look even better when we can replace the top molding. I chose the color I thought most closely matched the wainscoting and chair rails in our kitchen, and it turned out to be really close. It holds all of our food with room to spare. I thought long and hard before giving this product 4 stars rather than 5, but the difficulties with assembly and the disappointing quality of the fasteners swayed me. I would still recommend this cabinet to those who have intermediate assembly skills.

I Love Love Love this cabinet. A must have!!! Its Very sturdy, durable. Made of good material. I have it on carpet in our tv room. I love the smaller door with shelves. I read a review about things flying off when u open the door. I have not had a problem. There's a little lip as well. I've put cookies, a pencil cup holder, box of plastic baggies, brushes and hairties, and much more on it and nothing has fallen off yet. I even tried to swing it back and forth fast tomake stuff fly off and it didn't work. I love the space in the bigger side too. I put wire tiers from wal mart on shelves on both sides it to act as a 5th shelf. It arrived in about 5 days. They said from the 5th to 12th and it arrived first thing on the 5th. Weight: When it arrived I got a text from my sister and she said not even my brother in law could get it in the house. He s pretty strong, a contractor. I am 5'5, 115lbs. It was heavy but with a little 'help' from my 2 yr old, I got it in from front porch, through the living room and kitchen and down the steps (7) by Myself. Without damaging the box. I thought about taking it all out and bringing in piece by piece but with a two yr old, it's just not possible. Assembly: it sat in my tv room for a few days bc From reviews, dreaded the thought of putting it together. Then I decided to tackle it before my daughter woke up. I started a timer, had a 12pk, layer all the pieces out, and finished in about 3.5 hrs but I took many breaks. A lot. Prob could've did under 2 hrs, by myself if I beared down. I have never put a cabinet like this together before. The directions were very precise and easy to read. I did most of it (95%) by myself. A friend stopped by and the only part I needed extra hands for was putting the doors on. I DID NOT HAVE TO DRILL ANY HOLES. The only pain was there is about 50+ little nails for the backing. Read a review about Crooked doors. There are screws to adjust up down, in/out/ and side to side. It's explains in manual and is very easy to do. I do wish it had a strap for back bc I have a 2 yr old. It did have a small metal bracket to secure to wall but it didn't look like it would do anything so I just ran to toys r us and grabbed some.

I'm actually stopping mid assembly to write this review, because I would feel terrible if someone else bought this cabinet because I waited until I was done assembling it to share this. I'm giving this one star instead of zero because Amazon won't let me choose zero, and because I think the color is nice, and I love the design- in the pictures at least. The pros end there. The cons- 1. It's too expensive to return. So once you get it, you're stuck with it. It is SO HEAVY (what she would think would mean quality, but don't get too excited – we'll get to that), I'm not even going to bother to figure out what the return shipping charges are. Plus they charge a restocking fee, which they point out to you as soon as you open the box. 2. Every piece is marked up in some way out of my box. Minor things, nothing I'm going to incur the massive shipping charges to return it over- but every piece has something wrong with it. And I'm really not all that picky – I have a bench that has a huge gouge in it, that was there out of the box – I colored it in with magic marker on that one piece and put it together and we still have it five years later. But seriously- every piece?!?!? The edge where the laminate coating meets the unfinished board just crumbles off. I have pieces of the stuff falling off in my hands every time I move it. The directions say to assemble it on carpet to avoid damaging the finish- which I am. But I could've assembled this in a room filled with nothing but marshmallows and it would still be falling apart. 3. There are air bubbles in the finish on most of the pieces- these are going to pop and peel when you slide things on and off the shelves – which is kind of a bummer because I bought this cabinet to put things in. 4. I have a lot of "assemble yourself" furniture in my house – shelving, cabinets, DVD storage, toy chest, a couple benches – I've done this a lot. This is tied for the most expensive piece of cheap furniture that I own now, and while I expected the back to be some kind of cheap material – this is marginally thicker than poster board. They give you the hardware to put it on – I don't know why, scotch tape would've done the trick. I actually almost tossed it until I saw the prepunched holes- I thought it was packing material. I've been spoiled by prepac (priced the same or cheaper). I own a lot of prepac, and it's cheap, but good quality and even the stuff the kids use (and are very hard on) has lasted for years. I was going back and forth between one of their cabinets and this one, and I chose this one only because I liked the color more, and because I bought it to put specific things in, and after measuring those things I thought they'd fit better in this one. So I decided to take a chance on this brand...Big mistake. The only reason I'm not returning it is because it would cost too much. I know a lot of people are saying you get what you pay for here – but I have so much furniture from target, prepack, other random places – this is the most expensive and worst of the cheap assembly furniture that I've ever put together. Finally- not specific to this piece of furniture, but as far as the company goes – they include a note in the box, I'm taking a picture of it- this just really rubbed me the wrong way. As more chunks of this thing or falling off in my hands as I'm putting it together – even the pieces that didn't look as obviously damaged when I started now do, and I'm being as careful as humanly possible. It's like "ha ha, we tricked you in to putting it together, now you're stuck!" Seriously – what person is going to order a $300 cabinet, put it together, take it apart, box it up and return it all within 30 days, unless there is something wrong with it? There is no reason for the company to write this down, because the answer is no one. NO ONE IS GOING TO BOTHER PUTTING FURNITURE TOGETHER THAT THEY DO NOT WANT ONLY TO TAKE IT APART, PACK IT BACK UP, AND RETURN IT- UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. So to me, that kind of says that they know it's crap. They know what's going to happen when you put it together. They know you need a masters degree in engineering to do it. And if you know there's something wrong with your product, and if you're having enough people put things together and then take them apart and return them to you that you have to write down a policy about it – you shouldn't be selling it. As I said I've gotten a lot of this type of furniture before, I've never seen anything like this. Usually the notes say something like "Thank you for your purchase! If you are unsatisfied or need assistance, please call us!" Finding this note in a box filled with this crap, it might as well have read "Nah nah nah nah boo boo."
