Sauder HomePlus Basic Storage Cabinet, Sienna Oak

Fairly easy assembly. I am skilled with tools and it took a couple hours. Very good instructions and a very nice looking cabinet. Very well packaged.

I’m using it as a shoe closet and the size is perfect. Very happy with my purchase. Shipment/Delivery Comments Box was wet and broken when received and all the pieces fell out as I was trying to bring it inside. That’s my only complaint. No fault of the seller, only the delivery person. They should have put a plastic over it if it was raining.

Worked perfect for a snack cabinet for my kitchen.

Aesthetically appealing storage cabinet at a decent price. Because of the negative reviews, I had some reservations about ordering this storage cabinet. Based on reviews, it seemed that because of quality control issues, meaning damaged parts or missing hardware, I was concerned the cabinet I might receive would be hit or miss. I'm happy to report that everything I received was fine, except for a few small imperfections on the exterior cabinetry... meaning nicks or scratches on the surface. Although these imperfections aren't glaring, this is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. This product is very heavy. My box actually had a label cautioning that the weight was over 75 pounds. I needed this cabinet upstairs so had to drag it into the house to unpack it downstairs, then carry pieces of it upstairs for assembly. I'm a 63 year old woman but consider myself DIY handy. I assembled this cabinet on my own. The cabinet was fairly easy to put together. The instructions for assembly are clear and very easy to follow. I had some issues with assembling the base. Mainly lining up the screws on both sides of the base but, with some persistence, I eventually assembled the base just fine. The cardboard backing was a little tricky because it comes folded in the shipping box. Because of this, there is a tendency for the cardboard backing to sag in the middle, making it difficult to align it perfectly square on the back of the cabinet. I never did get it to line up perfectly square, however, I was able to get the backing lined up enough that it didn't overlap the sides of the cabinet. The doors were also a bit tricky. After standing the cabinet upright, the instructions say to attach the left side door first. Being right handed, it would have been easier to attach the right door first. The reason being, the doors don't fully open to the side. The doors open perpendicular, 90 degrees, to the cabinet. This allowed very little room for me to get in there and attach the right door, so had to use my left hand to do so. Since I was putting this cabinet together by myself, I used a very thin book (estimated between an eighth to quarter inch) to help prop up the doors to help get the doors to the proper height so I could easily attach them. Once the doors were in place, I did have to make minor adjustment which I found very easy to do. The door adjustments are clearly outlined in the assembly instructions. All said, I enjoyed putting the cabinet together in spite of having a few minor frustrations. I felt accomplished in the end. I have this cabinet on carpeting in an office space and unlike some of the reviews, this cabinet feels stable and sturdy. I did not find it necessary to attach the wall mount support. I am very happy with this purchase, however, like I said, what gets shipped to you can be hit or miss. I ordered another piece of Sauder furniture to match this cabinet for my office at the same I purchased this item. The bottom of the cabinet (Part D), and the front skirt (Part H) were not the correct pieces for this cabinet and too large by two inches. I had to return that item and re-order. But, that's a whole other review! If everything goes well, the Sauder products are great and well worth the money. If things don't go well, it can be a pain. With success of this particular product, I would still recommend it.

Ok so one, the box is very heavy when delivered so definitely don’t life this by yourself. Packaged new in box however it looked to be previously assembled and returned and reboxed to be sold to someone else. Holes looked like they had pieces of the finish peeling up like when you put a screw in. The door hinges had left marks on the door from prior assembly. Shelves had scuffing and pieces had parts of the finish peeled off. Only the exact amount of parts are included. No extras in case you lose or drop one. I assembled by myself as a weak 5’3” woman and had no issues with the weight or sizing. Color is darker than I thought it would be. House smells a little after assembly now. Assembly was generally easy enough however there are no stickers to identify parts, just have to hope the stamp on one side of the edges shows up clearly enough. Instruction notes like “not actual size :)” regarding the hammer that is listed as a necessary tool or need for nachos were humorous and unique. Overall, this pantry cabinet works for what we wanted and to help with some of our kitchen clutter but in my opinion a bit overpriced for what it actually is.
