ClosetMaid Pantry Cabinet Cupboard with 2 Doors, Adjustable Shelves, Standing, Storage for Kitchen, Laundry or Utility Room, White

Hi everybody. Am perplexed by some of the negative reviews and comments I am seeing here about this cabinet. We liked it so much, that we ordered a second one and placed them side by side. This size is very difficult, if not impossible to find! We needed a cabinet to organize some things we had stored in our entry way, such as bags of pet food, extra bottles of water, soda, seltzer, etc. that were in plain sight and looked just way too cluttered. The entry is not a large area at all and at 12.5 " deep, this was the ideal depth for us, as it contains all that we wanted to store in it with ease, and does not jut out too far, which would block the entry window, and also make exiting and entering more awkward. For this reason, the shorter height was also ideal for our purposes, as anything taller would simply "take over" the entry with respect to size. It's also nice to be able to neatly store a few things on top of it and have them easily within reach. It is easily sturdy enough for our purposes, and again, I am simply not understanding why people are complaining about this, as ours seems to be more than sufficiently sturdy to accommodate our needs.As for assembly, this really was not the nightmare which some reviewers are describing at all. Simply followed the directions, assembled the cabinet face down, (on the doors), and stood it up when finished. The only tools required were a hammer and a Phillps' screwdriver, NOT a power drill or power screwdriver as these are constructed out of particle board and that would be overkill and strip the screws! That simple. Regarding the gaps that some are describing, ours may have a VERY slight gap between the doors, but nothing worthy of noting or anything to complain about. Speaking of the doors, I would like to add that since, as mentioned, we were trying to work with a very small space, the double doors were a MUCH better option for us as opposed to the single door cabinets. Just another thing to bear in mind. We were concerned that these would take a beating during shipping and arrive in questionable shape, but this concern was unwarranted, since they arrived in great condition. All in all, we are very, very happy with these cabinets. No complaints at all.

My daughter put together in 90 minutes. I live in an apartment (small dining space). This fit the bill.A little wobbly since I didn’t want to attach to wall. Once all my food (can goods, cereal, boxed food, etc) was inside - not wobbly anymore!Very pleased!

Pros:Lots of extra storage space. Easy to move around once it's built (pre-secured to the wall).Adjustable shelves are great! The walk attachment provides an extra sense of safety - definitely use it!In the second one I built I left the permanent shelf out so I could fit taller items such as my broom and folding grocery cart.Instructions and pictures were easy to follow (when available, see below).I price checked and researching many products, from multiple places, and landed on this one from Amazon.Cons:Heavy to lift when in the box, my building maintenance guys had to carry them one by one.The top adjustable shelf holes are not usable because the door hinges block the shelf from being set down on the shelf plugs.In the first once I assembled the instruction manual was not cut into pages so I almost missed 2 whole steps (easy solution was to rip it apart). Also, 2 of the long screws provided for the main support were bent/ damaged. It still went together and seems sturdy for now but only time will tell.In both cabinets, the two front doors are not the same color and it's very noticeable (my solution is going to be to paint them).3 of the white stoppers that go on the bottom, to help it stand even on the floor ABC's not scratch, were also bent and thus not usable (instead I used the anti-slip fabric stickers that are used on chair legs).The backing is very cheap thin cardboard and doesn't provide any support or additional sturdiness (if you use it, make sure the color you want is facing the right way - I didn't see one side was white and once was cardboard color, thus my 2 cabinets don't match inside Haha)

Reading other reviews I wonder if people are describing the same cabinet. Read the dimensions carefully. The cabinet is very precisely manufactured, all the pieces are included, the instructions are clear. A hammer and a Philips head screw driver are all that are required for assembly. Only the mechanically challenged will find it difficult to assemble. The hinges are metal not plastic. The panels are flake board with vinyl sheathing. This type of board ensures maximum yield in board feet from our forests while at the same time preventing voids in the panels for moisture and germs to harbor. So it is both ecologically friendly and sanitary. At the same time it is a simple, no frills cabinet so the purchaser cannot expect fancy hardware or tight fitting doors. It is utilitarian and serviceable, suitable for a home laundry, bath, or garage. Used as intended it should last for many years.
