Catskill Craftsmen Pie Safe with Double Doors

The pie safe is well made and finished beautifully. I use it in my kitchen as a "snack cabinet" and to hold the extras that won't fit in my less than ample cabinet space. I could have gone with something cheaper but this really is a nice piece of furniture that adds simply elegance to my little kitchen.

Love this item. Excellent wood quality. Very heavy and sturdy. The wood is unfinished, so you will need to coat it with mineral oil(or a similar product) to protect the surface.

Our ONLY complaint is the way the wood panel inserts attach to each door panel. According to the assembly instructions the panels are supposed to stay in place with ONLY the included clear plastic strips, but these failed to hold the panels in place for us at all. However, after my husband added a few tiny finishing nails(tapped in right through the clear plastic strips) to hold the panels more securely, we are good to go!

A beautiful cabinet and a wonderful addition my kitchen!

Sorry-I lost the link in the middle of the review. I was not happy with this item! It was difficult to put together, and took nearly more strength that I have. I have had some experience putting furniture together-but this one took every bit of ingenuity and strength I could muster-and I used my problem-skills to get it done. I was horrified that the tacky plastic pieces were necessary to hold in the front inserts and figured out that I needed carpenter's wood glue in addition. I could not believe that the little metal pins and light screws were the connectors. The top was nearly impossible to put on and is loose at one corner, despite my efforts. I am sick at heart that I must spend so much time in the future oiling this piece! I moved it myself into place in the kitchen, but felt connections straining under the effort. The pieces do not fit-and there are obvious 1/16-1/8 inch gaps all around. I would return this if it did not cost a lot-and I have put lightweight (empty canning jars) and only some full jars in the ccabinet as I fear the shelves (on pins) will not hold more weight.

The cabinet should NOT be sent unassembled, and should have been put together with more adequate hardware. The pieces should fit together more closely-I could not keep any food or paper in this cabinet-mice would love it as a home, a feeding plac e, and a nesting hotel! If I could, I would call this company up and tell them to come get this! -jgw

Built solid and generally assembled well. As observed by others I found that the plastic retainers which hold the door panels in the door frame are totally inadequate. I chose to secure the panels using carpenter's wood glue. I needed a variety of clamps and weights to hold the panels in place while the glue dried. This is because the panels come with a warp to them. This gluing probably added 5 hours to the assembly time. Final assembled product is attractive and usefull.
