Winsome Halifax Cabinet for Closet/Office, 7 Drawers

This ended up looking good, but:

-Instructions without words are the great equalizer: difficult to use no matter what language you speak; these were also marred by out-of-scale drawings, and not enough detail, as is the case with the drawer glides, which have many holes that can be used, and no clear picture of which ones should be used.

-it's a pain dealing with the foam bits all over everything (including myself, my house); can't flat-packers come up with some way of helping with this?

-some edges of some things were slightly damaged, and as mine was black, this really was obvious (will Sharpie them)

-the drawer bottoms are cardboard/fiber board, and were held together by many strips of masking tape, each of which pulled off some of the white coating of the board itself, so I had to pick the best side to face up in the drawer.

-the cams of the cam lock system didn't always work, because the bolt part didn't go in straight; was finally able to get these to work

-in many cases, the particle board pieces did not fully hang on to the screws used (as with the glides on the bottom of the drawer; would recommend using a manual screwdriver for the smaller bits (and I was using an electric screwdriver with the torque setting set down low)

On the plus side:

-metal drawer glides: work well, and should last much longer than plastic ones found in less expensive furniture

-nice design: the cutout drawer handles are a great idea, and work well

-solid and stable when assembled (I did not use the included casters)

I read the previous review so I was not disappointed. I have to be gentle with the drawers so that they do not fall apart with too much use (the face coming off) I was very careful not to over-turn but the bolt does still rotate over time and the drawer will come apart (hence I keep a screw driver in the top drawer) Also, putting on the back last didn't really work for me. I had to take it apart and put the back on before screwing on the top. It really helps to have two people for that task.

It looks quite nice and the drawers operate very smoothly. It is however, made of very cheap construction materials. The instructions warn not to overtighten, but that's a relative term. The particle board used for the drawer is so cheap and soft that even when I barely exerted any force on the locking nut, it still broke the board. I stripped several screws even when I was applying gentle torque and in once case a locking nut broke so I had to glue the drawer face in place. The material crumbles if you apply more that a very light torque to any screw or locking nut so be very gentle when assembling. It was exactly what I was lookig for functionally, but for the price, I would have expected better quality.
