Very attractive, easy to assemble. The glass is fragile due to back mirror being concave and pushing the shelves outwards. The functionality of opening/closing the cabinet is minimal due to fragility of the shelves and the nature of glass on glass. Only recommend for aesthetics and not for functionality.
Sadly, this unit does not live up to all the positive feedback it has received from others. Where do I begin?
1. The locks are completely non-functional. The latches cannot lock whatsoever, with or without key. The center piece just spins. If it did lock, it could probably be easily manipulated with a very small screwdriver. The latches don't even really seem to close completely, as when you push them forward to the lock, it pushes the locking mechanism out to block the latch. No amount of fiddling with this will make them close entirely.
2. The pegs cannot fit in all of the holes. For each and every shelf to fit, the pegs must be aligned to certain holes. It doesn't quite work out, though, as two of the holes on the left side of the unit are blocked by screws from the door.
3. The glass shelves are badly cut. Most are several millimeters too short for the case, which causes issues I'll describe in #4.
4. The pegs are too loose, and when the shortened shelves are placed on the pegs, they start to bow in. Many have randomly fallen out while I was putting in shelves and trying to perfectly align the shelves between the pegs. I don't even want to try putting the weight of my shot glasses on these, for fear that the pegs will fall out and the shelves will crash down on the others below them, glasses and all.
I'm too far beyond Amazon's return policy to return this item (I was wrapping up my job and my last semester at school prior to moving ~700 miles away from my hometown, things got a little nuts, and assembly of this unit got put on the back burner, so that's totally my fault), but I figured I'd at least give it the review it deserves. My options at this point seem to be Super Glue and tape, which is not really what I wanted to have to do for a unit I paid over $100 for (when including shipping).
