We first saw this cabinet on Target.com [where it DOES state that assembly is required] and decided to purchase it as a kitchen pantry. We were lucky enough to find it in-store, saving us a small fortune in shipping cost.It's a beautiful piece, well made, and not all that hard to assemble [2 hours], but it's quite a bit darker than the picture. Still beautiful and very functional.

This cabinet is very nice, but not as tall as the picture makes it look. So that this item finally has some measurements out there, it is 60" H x 16" D x 30" W. It holds a LOT! The stain is not dark so you still see the grain of the wood, but personally I would have preferred it to have been a deeper darker stain. Regardless, it still looks very nice. This item is a little over 100 pounds, so pretty heavy and solid. Also it is a very dense flake board, so not true wood in my eyes, but again it does not look like that once it is fully put together. This item was very easy to put together, but it does take two people in spots and you must make sure to put it together where you want it, because it does not slide well.I bought this cabinet to store all of my daughter's toys in a way that concealed the clutter of puzzle boxes, games, and stuff like that. I was able to fit EVERYTHING in there plus from extra stuff.
The reason I am giving this item only 4 stars though, is because of all the problems I had with the delivery company YRC Freight. This item is one of those items that requires you to have someone other than the delivery company help carry it into your home. I was told by YRC Freight that this item would be at my house between 10-2pm and that I would get a call 1 hr before delivery. I asked my father who normally takes care of my bed ridden mother to come help with this item, because my husband had to work and I am pregnant and can't unload it myself. 2pm came and went. When I called YRC Freight, at 2pm, I was told that the drive had NO ETA as to when he would be at my house. At 5pm I told my father to go home so he could check on my mom, since the guy would call and give me an hour notice, that would be enough time for my husband to get home at 6pm if he called. 10 minutes after my dad left, the driver called to say he was 5 minutes away!!!! Since the company will not allow the driver to come into my home, I was left with a cabinet sitting on my porch, in the cold, waiting for my husband to get home 45 min. later! The driver was more than 3 1/2 hrs late and in the process of rolling the cabinet up my driveway with a hand truck, he broke the border around my flower bed and all he said was oops!!! I was so frustrated and disappointed! I wasted my whole day and my poor dad's whole day waiting for this thing!
When I complained to Amazon about this, they got back to me almost immediately and refunded me $40 for my trouble. Overall, I am satisfied with the cabinet and the way Amazon handled the poor service on the part of YRC Freight, but I am really hoping that OfficeFurniture.com considers finding a new delivery company.
I would say that people should still order this cabinet, but don't make any plans for delivery day.

My kitchen has very little storage so I ordered this cabinet to keep my pots, pans, baking equipment etc and non-perishable foods.It arrived via a freight company and it is sidewalk delivery. The carton was extremely heavy so I opened it in the hallway and carried it piece by piece up one flight of stairs. Although it was packaged well, there were a few dings in the doors and shelves.
As the instructions indicate, it is easier to put together with two people. A rubber mallet is needed but I improvised with a regular hammer wrapped in a tea towel. I was able to construct it all by myself in about 3 hours, which included carrying it upstairs and clean up.
I called the manufacturer to let them know about the small damages. They offered to send me two new doors free, but I opted for the repair kit that they sent and was able to disguise the nicks.
I'm extremely happy. It is a very solid piece of furniture and it doesn't look like a DIY at all. And it perfectly matches my oak table and chairs.
