Glass Paneled 6-shelf Oak Media Cabinet

The instructions were very difficult to follow; the pictures were not in connection with the step-by-step instructions. Also once assembled it¿s wobbly, if you have small children it should be anchored to the wall.

OK, so I guess you can't expect too much for less than $200 these days, but this made-in-Chine (surprise) "solid birch" cabinet is actually made of fragile particle board with a cardboard back. The first of the white-metal cam-locks that hold the thing together broke when I tried to install it, and it comes with no extras. The wooden parts had various dents and dings in them, and I would have sent it all back if it weren't just too much trouble to do so. The paper-thin veneer trim on the face of the glass doors is actually split all the way through in one place and would not have passed any self-respecting inspector in a U.S. factory, I suspect. Upon assembly, which is a bit of a pain with vague instructions, the fit and finish is poor, with doors that don't line up and one that scrapes the top of the cabinet. Cheap screws strip easily and pucker the particle board when pre-drilled holes don't line up with hardware, etc. You get what you pay for, but if you want to buy something this junky, go to Wal-Mart or Kmart and see in person what you are buying before you fork over the cash. BTW, I bought another media cabinet from Overstock a while back for twice the price, and the shelves are already sagging badly from the (not much) weight of some DVDs. Thought before ordering this that maybe I'd just picked out a bad product that time and the "solid birch" would be better, but I thought wrong. -- MQ

This is a really pretty piece, the first piece of furniture we've ever bought online. We had some issue with a damaged door but Overstock's customer service department took care of it right away. We found it very easy to put together, took us just under an hour. We regret not purchasing a second!

I bought two of these to hold our massive dvd collection. They both worked. Little darker finish then I was hoping for but overall I am happy with them. No missing parts. Extras included for both sets. Finish throughout was consistent and no marks were made during shipment. Easy to essemble and mount to the wall so our toddler can't tip them over. Only thing I wish it had was a hinge lock on the outside instead of pull knobs for the door. Kids can get into them easily.
