I started buying bookcases from this line/company and have been adding to our living room furniture piece-by-piece-- this has been our latest addition and I am just as happy with it as all the others. This matches the style and color exactly to the rest of the collection (there are different names for the same "wood" grain, but I can attest that they are actually the same) and the price point is so so much more affordable than the big-name alternatives, without compromising on quality.Assembly is straightforward and fairly quick (under an hour for 1 person and an 8-year-old helper, so probably 30 minutes for a regular adult). I've assembled many large pieces from this company at this point and, after reading lots of reviews before purchase, I can attest that anyone complaining about how long it takes to build or how hard it is to assemble just isn't reading the directions thoroughly (no shade, there's a lot of info and diagrams to make sense of in there). But once you've built one, all the other pieces work the same way and you can almost do it without the directions. This is very study, no wobble, and we were able to level the legs with our uneven wooden floors. The doors have a soft closure feature, so no one is slamming them shut or leaving them open to break.We have a split-level home with 5 people's worth of shoes that never made it onto the shoe rack at the front door. This is the perfect slim profile to fit at the top of the stairs without blocking the hallway or flow into the house AND it's the right height and style to also serve as a console/entryway table. I'm really pleased with the number of shelves and space available -- it fits all the daily rotation shoes for 2 adults and 3 kids in sports on the main shelves (surprisingly, everyone abides by the "each person gets a shelf" rule), and on the other side we keep all the dog-walking accessories (leashes, harnesses, treat dispenser) on a shelf and have a basket for slippers/flipflops. This has REALLY decluttered multiple spaces in our home and tied it in nicely with our other furniture without looking too matchy-matchy.

Quality: Appropriate for the expected weight load. It will probably not stand up to very heavy loads, for example, stacks of books. But then, this is not intended for books, but shoes, after all.Aesthetics: Although the bulk of it is particle board, it has a pleasing appearance and does not look cheap at all.Design: Very impressive. Good quality for the price.Construction: It does take some time (about 90 mins for me working alone), but the instructions are adequate to follow, step by step.Suggestions on construction:1) Put this together in an open space, with plenty of room to layout the parts, do the prep work on several of them, and to be able to maneuver around the parts, turn it upside down, etc.2) Use one or both of the large flat Styrofoam pieces as support panels while attaching the handles and hinges. Be careful not to lay a prepped panel or piece down on any hardware, which could the hardware to bend or even break out of the wood in which it is seated.3) Rig something soft for the panels to rest on, at exactly 6 inches high, so they are supported while you attach the hinges. I used one of the Styrofoam pieces, plus a 5-inch box. Put all 8 screws in for both hinges on a panel just tight enough to hold the panel from moving away from its supporting part, however, still allowing for fine-tuning its positioning. Then gently lift up the far edge of the panel wiht one hand so it is level while you tighten the 4 outer screws on the hinges with the other hand. Then tighten the 4 inner screws and test that the panel is level, closing flat. Finally, adjust the middle screw of each hinge to offset the panel our or in from its support so it sits exactly where it belongs when it is closed.4) It was hard for me to figure out at first, but the brackets ("L" in my kit, which is appropriate, since they are "L" brackets) are meant to optionally attach the piece to the wall behind it, for stability. they sit with their open slot along the open areas of the backing. There are two of them, and they allow for nearly two inches of range for the exact locations for such wall-anchoring.5) It was clear to me how the "L" brackets attached after I reached the end and saw how they worked, so it is a good idea to read through the instructions first.6) Tools needed: I used a Phillips screwdriver, a soft rubber mallet, and a cordless screwdriver. I would NOT recommend using a power drill, as it would be too easy to overpower the particle board and make a real mess of this build. Even using the cordless screwdriver, I had to be careful not to overtighten, but generally started with that, then drove the final tightness with the screwdriver by hand, being very careful not to over-tighten. Just snug (a "light" hand tight) was sufficient.The cordless screwdriver was most useful in installing the 16 screws into the plastic supports in the back, where it definitely saved some time.The mallet I used to gently seat the top and sides, which needed some "gentle persuasion" as the fit was very tight there and also to make sure the supports were fully seated before installing the shelves.

This is possibly the only time I've ever ordered furniture off of amazon and had the end result be... actually pretty good!The materials are all MDF, but the finishes are fairly attractive (true to photos) and, shockingly, everything actually went together exactly as it was intended to. The instructions were pretty easy to follow, and it can be realistically constructed by a single person (though a buddy will help for a couple of the flipping maneuvers, it's not necessary). All of the parts bags had a couple of extra pieces, which is always appreciated.The cabinet hinges are soft close, and easily adjusted to make sure the doors line up properly. After a little adjustment, they close just about perfectly. My only caveat here would be to *only* install the height adjustment screws for the hinges until you get the doors aligned as desired, and THEN install the non-adjustment anchor screws. The actual structure of the cabinet seems pretty sturdy, and I like that the wall anchors are hidden inside of the cabinet itself.Shipping wasn't free, but it was packed decently and arrived without any damage. The seller proactively sent a message including troubleshooting advice and a video for adjusting the cabinet doors, which was thoughtful.No regrets on the purchase!

I haven't been a big fan of some of the products from China, but this unit seems like a little better quality. Seller sent some links to a couple of helpful tips and pdf instructions in addition to the paper ones.

I didn’t have faith in this product but it turned out it’s really great!
