Nice for the price

We have a small kitchen and were looking for something inexpensive that would give us more storage space, but still look decent. We decided to give this little cabinet a shot. ASSEMBLY: It took me about 4 1/2 hours to put this cabinet together. If you are unfamiliar with carpentry, you might want to consider hiring someone to do the assembly. Honestly, the instructions were trash. They were worse than useless. If I didn't have experience building furniture, I would have been totally lost with this thing. About half of the time was spent dry fitting parts to ensure I had the right holes lined up. However, once I had it together, it seemed quite sturdy. One hint I'll leave for everyone: gluing the joints and allowing to dry before putting anything in or on the cabinet is always recommended with assemble-yourself furniture. The lack of clear instructions is the reason I'm removing a couple of stars from my rating. APPEARANCE: The color is even and pretty close to what was shown on the product page, perhaps a half shade lighter. Once assembled, the doors and drawers open and close smoothly and hang straight and flush to the cabinet body. The lines are clean and the cabinet sits on a firm base without any wobble or tilt. As you can see, even the material is MDF, it matches well with our existing pine furniture. OVERALL: We have had this cabinet about 6 weeks now, and we're quite pleased with it. It's fulfilled its purpose. Not shown is the ample storage space behind the doors, where my wife has stashed a bunch of her small electrics. The two drawers are also larger than you might think. It looks pretty good in the kitchen. Other than assembly, this is a fine cabinet and well worth the money.
