ClosetMaid 2-Door Stackable Laminate Organizer

We have had our cabinet for well over a year and have had no complaints so far. Other reviews have lamented broken doors and weak hinges, and buyers should really take those reviews into consideration, but it hasn't happened here. However, our cabinet endures only the lightest use. We bought this cabinet to serve as a small liquor cabinet/bar area in our master suite. We wanted something that closed up out of the way and didn't draw attention to itself, something inexpensive yet functional, and something we could reuse for another purpose later. This fit the bill. We installed wine glass racks inside for the upper space, and store liquor bottles in the lower space. (We only used one shelf.) We placed marble tiles on top and our wine sits well on top. Small hooks on the inside and doors for bar accessories, and this has turned into a very small, very practical piece.

However, we don't open or use this cabinet every day. Not even close. If you plan to use this cabinet for daily use, the less-glowing reviews that reveal the hinge flaws are more appropriate. If you plan to use the cabinet for storage, but not daily opening (like us), this review might be more appropriate.

The rest of the Closetmaid line may be OK, but the cabinets have doors. The particle board on these doors is not strong enough to hold up with the pin hinge that is inserted. Within one month of use, two of my three cabinets had doors that literally fell off due to the particle board breaking off at the lower outside corner, therefore no longer being able to hold it's pin hinge. I might try to install home depot door hinges on them to repair them.

This cabinet has a really low price, which is nice. But it is really poorly made. It is the cheapest fiberboard. It does look nice in the picture. But I think that you will not be at all happy when you actually get the unit. I bought two of these, and one arrived with a panel cracked.

I've had this for a day so I can't tell much about durability. But I figure if I use it with care and not rough it will be fine. Easy to assemble.

Edit: 01/03/2012The cabinet is still doing very well and has not fallen apart. Three people use the cabinet.

You don't expect much for $ 49, but do expect to have no damages. One of the panels was broken. I wonder if Amazon has any quality control. Very cheap made in China. Please don't buy.
