'Panda' Storage Chest

Rating

I wanted a relatively inexpensive piece for a hallway across from the bathroom. The piece looks great and took 2 hours to build. However, as can be expected, it's made of very cheap materials- although it's not apparent from the appearance once it's built.

Although pretty, the storage chest was not worth the money and trouble I had to go through in order to get it assembled. A slot was not cut into one of the pieces of wood to put it together and I had to take it to a carpenter (who is a friend of mine) and have him cut a slot into it. Now that it is assembled and in my bathroom it does look nice so I would cautiously recommend it to anyone looking to purchase.

Good craftmanship, easy assembly (my daughter put it together). A bit tight for todays large bath towels, would have been better if it was 2 inches deeper. Drawer is a bit shallow also but handy for small items.

This is a nice addition to my bathroom. I needed space to put towels, bathroom supplies, etc., and it's a nice, bright piece of furniture. It would have been nice if it was already assembled, but it wasn't all that difficult.

First, the good points on this piece: the wood is gorgeous. The assembled piece actually looks even better than it appears online. Another customer made the comment that the drawer is too tiny and that is true but I managed to find a way to fold a dozen washcloths and make them fit!!! Now, the bad news: unfortunately, this piece was made by someone who didn't pay attention to the details. The two pieces of wood which are the back panels are cut two different lengths and both are too short. There is an obvious uneven gap at the top but since it is in the back, you don't see it if the piece is against a wall. Next, and this WAS A HUGE PAIN IN THE NECK: the holes where you attach the magnet to keep the doors closed WERE DRILLED ON THE WRONG EDGE OF THE WOOD!! We took the darned thing apart 3 times before we realized we were not making any mistakes but that the holes were in the wrong place!! I ended up using hot glue to attach the magnet where it was supposed to be. Overall, the piece is very attractive, especially the tinted glass doors but you may encounter difficulties if you get a cabinet with defects like mine. Last note: this piece needs 2 people to work on it.
