Sauder HomePlus Deep Storage Cabinet, Dakota Oak 411572

I recently purchased the HomePlus Jumbo Storage Cabinet to use in my office conference room. It arrived quickly directly from the manufacturer. I spent about an hour reading through the direction prior to attempting to put the cabinet together. Since I am petite woman, I called on the help of my sister-in-law. Since I had read reviews of this taking anywhere from 4 to 12 hours (gasp!) We set a stop watch to see how long it would take. Two women, between the ages of 28 and 35, put the cabinet together in 2 hours flat.

The directions are well written and there are pictures to go along with each direction. It seems like they wrote the directions as they were assembling a cabinet because it offered a lot of suggestions to making this an easy process and it was! Only once did we get frustrated! The feet at the bottom are rather large, and my screwdriver was rather short so I had to run out and get a longer screw driver.

After assembling, I started adding things throughout the conference room to the cabinet.

The only reason I am not giving this cabinet 5 stars is because I wish the small door didn't have the shelves. I would have liked to have more space in the interior of the cabinet. I can't take off too many points for this though, because I knew that feature was included when I bought the unit.

Overall, I think this unit is fairly large, with ample storage, easy to put together, at a fair price.

The storage doesnt look anything like in the picture and not as jumbo as it claims to be either. The unit took close to 10-12 hrs for two of us to assemble. The parts were cheap and the edges chipped off while I was trying to assemble. the holes to put the door hinges were off and not at the right places which lead to the doors not sitting well and overlaying on each other. I called the Sauder company for help and the person tried to guide me over phone to fix the issue and giving me the same instructions that I had already tried and attempted.I asked if they were going to send a person to fix the doors but the rep said I'd have to call a contractor and get this fixed.

The storage in the door is such a bad idea with the shelves being so narrow and any item you put on it tends to fall off. And besides it eats into the space of the main shelf. I'd rather would have had a much wider shelving in the unit than on the door.

All in all, not worth the price and the effort that it took to assemble the piece.

I am very satisfied with this cabinet. The only complaint I have is that my CDs do not fit well in the small shelves in the door. I have to angle them a little so they clear the lip on the edge. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I assembled it by myself in about 4 hours. It was packaged exceptionally well and arrived without any blemishes. It is heavy and very sturdy. The hardest part of the assembly was getting the doors on straight. Luckily the hinges that are included have the ability to adjust in any direction. Everything fit together perfectly, and it looks very nice in my home office.

We bought this cabinet to use a a pantry when we moved into a house that had a small kitchen. So far we are happy with it, but some things were a little annoying.

Pros:

-The smaller door offers storage with adjustable shelves which makes for more space.

-The color of the cabinet is very pretty.

-The amount of storage is pretty good, and I like that I can adjust the shelves to fit taller items.

Cons:

-It is a big pain in the rear to put together. There are a lot of parts and it took my husband and I a few hours to put together. The instructions are not that great. There are a few parts that you need to drill holes yourself, which I didn't like. If you drill too far, you can't put the screw in. I feel like if you don't line the parts up exactly when you are drilling the holes, it effects how square the piece turns out, so you could end up with doors that are out of alignment.

-The doors do not adjust much, so ours has doors that are a little lopsided. If it doesn't align correctly, the smaller door doesn't stay shut.

-There is no hardware to affix the cabinet to the wall. I think this is very important, especially if you have little kids that open the doors to get a snack.

All in all, I'd say it's ok. Not bad, but not much better quality than IKEA.
