Product Review
This product looks OK now that it is assembled, but you'll find annoying flaws that make it actually not worth the funds. For instance, the doors - with pre-assembled hinges - do not correctly align. Nor do they meet in the middle as one would anticipate of any cabinet. There's a gap of about 1/4 inch in between the doors. In addition to those somewhat trivial problems, this factor is actually a nightmare to put together. The directions are easy to follow, but the hardware is crap - screws strip with minimal pressure - and most of the screw holes are not aligned AT ALL. The drawer was ridiculous. I had to make use of some of my own screws and then later get out the electric drill, that is one thing I've never ever had to do for any self-assembled furniture, including products that had been much less high-priced. The back of the island is some sort of thin plywood - as may be the drawer bottom. It's clearly cheap-looking from the back. (Review More...)
