Madison Avenue Floor Cabinet with 1 Door & 1 Drawer

Elegant Home Fashions Madison Avenue Collection Shelved Floor Cabinet with Drawer, WhiteThis is a great small bath cabinet. We have an old victorian home with small simple baths and this little cabinet is great for such situations. I am very plesaed with the super-fast delivery (I selected the free delivery option and received both orders in less than a week) and the quality of the materials is quite good for the price. Assembly is relatively simple and the parts fit together very well. So if you like the cabinet you see in the picture, I believe you will be very pleased with what you receive.

I am disappointed with this cabinet and probably will not order items like this off the internet again. I've had great success ordering through Amazon so I was surprised.

Positives: Nice looking, good storage. Fulfulls it's purpose. Return was handle promptly and efficiently by Amazon and UPS. Service people were helpful.

Negatives: The first cabinet had two back pieces for the drawer and was missing one side. The replacement cabinet parts did not fit together well and the particle board split when I put in the screws. One screw would not tighten. There was debris and paint in some holes so the peg-locking system would not work. There are gaps in the front and sides of the finished cabinet. I plan to put glue in those gaps to prevent further separation. I've bought (at stores) and assembled 3 cabinets with similar assembly systems and had no problems.

Returning furniture is inconvienent even if people are nice about it. It's difficult to repack and heavy.

The cabinet came as ordered within a short period of time and was clearly marked for assembly. My brother had no trouble putting it together and since the tips in other reviews mentioned "no don't tighten the screws until the last minute" we have a wonderful cabinet for our smaller guest bathroom. I love the style and the quality. It is surprisingly roomy for a cabinet. I love the adjustable shelf.

The cabinet is nice and goes together well. The problem is that it has this noxious chemical smell that will not go away. I put it together in a large room with the balcony door and windows open and I still became lightheaded while doing so. I left it outside on our balcony for a few hours and then moved it into the bathroom thinking that would get rid of the smell. The few hours outside didn't help, especially once it was in the smaller, less ventilated bathroom. I have two young kids and don't want to expose them to anything (not to mention my husband and I don't want to smell this nasty, probably toxic odor) so the cabinet has been sitting on my balcony for almost a month. The smell is just not going away.

The lock mechanism on the door wasn't aligned properly, so I had to do some adjusting in the assembly to get it to line up. The legs were also not leveled evenly, so it rocks back and forth a bit, like one of those annoying school assembly chairs that you got stuck with.
