I love Overstock, but I hate this cabnet. The instructions were generic, screws were missing, the wood split in places, and the "white wash" paint job was sloppy. My husband put it together in only 4 short hours. Do Not buy this item unless you need a place to store your matchbox cars. The shelf height is short, which I knew. What I didn't know was that you can not remove any of the shelves to make more room. Stock up on bandaids for all the nicks and cuts you'll get. I wanted to return it but the hubby is bound and determined to use it for something after all his hard work.
Utility pantry appeared much larger online. I was disappointed when I received it as to how small it was. I was planning to store all of my canned goods in it but can only use it to store my seasonings!
I purchased this pantry - first, I received the wrong color; I ordered the Oak, and received the color Sage. Assembling, its not really hard, but it takes a lot of guess work, the instructions are not that clear. The worst part, the storage space is really small, it was designed to store away cans and small bottles, nothing else. If you need a good food pantry with a lot of space to store food items, this is not it. There is not much you can put in it.I ddn't return it because I figured its not worth it, I would have to spend more money for shipping it back.
Door shelves are functional,, but pantry is extremely small and short. Can only fit 3 soup cans on one shelf door. Pantry is also extremely difficult to put together with a lot of small parts, and the diagrams in the instructions are not very descriptive on top/bottom.
This was a pain to put together the directions are very unclear- it looks good - it took 7 hours to assemble.
Don't do it. I know this cabinet looks cute, and it seems like a good price for real wood. And maybe like me you are very experienced with assembling furniture, that's why I ignored the negative comments. Unfortunately the negative comments are absolutely accurate, and I am furious about the time I am having to put into this piece to make it workable. It's wood, all right, but it is many pieces of laminated wood with many, many obvious "finger joints", plus a lot of black blotching. The holes are too big for the dowels, and I used most of an 8-ounce bottle of glue to help stabilize this thing (glue not included). The cams (no extra) are pot metal and will crack if much force applied. There are an enormous number of pieces, which would be OK if you ended up with a solid product. But because there is only a cardboard back board, the sides are a bit wobbly even after I used metal braces top and bottom, so now I am going to have to get some plywood and screws and replace the cardboard back. I've spent hours painting this already to cover up the obvious joints and ugly wood. When I am finally done I will have a nice spice cabinet which is what I wanted this for, but something I bought to make life easier has been more hellish to deal with than the dressers I have built. Worst Overstock purchase I have ever made. Sad to say I have MDF pieces better engineered and designed than this.

Assembly is somewhat difficult; checking position of shelves crucial. Unit comes out well if you have a bit of assembly experience. Stable even when filled to capacity.
The quality of this unit is poor. Although the doors were put together properly, the hardware holding the parts slipped when the doors are opened, so they do not hang properly or open and close easily.The knobs were uneven; although the appearance is generally good, the uneven knobs make it look cheap.I would not advise that anyone purchase this pantry.
LOOKS GREAT WHEN ASSEMBLED. LOTS AND LOTS OF PIECES. SPREAD IT OUT AND TAKE YOUR TIME. USE A SCREW GUN IF POSSIBLE. IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE PICTURE BUT TAKE YOUR TIME. I ASSEMBLED ONE OF THE DOORS WRONG AND HAD TO DRILL NEW HOLES FOR THE HINGES. (NO ONE HAS NOTICED MY MISTAKE) EVERYTHING IS GLUED TOGETHER AND ONCE ASSEMBLED IT DOES NOT COME APART :o)
I ordered this pine cupboard, because of the unique shelves on the doors and specifically to use for spices, cooking wines and things of that nature. The measurements are accurate and it was not difficult to put together, if you take things one step at a time, using a drill and gluing the dowels. Yes, it does take some time to put together, but once together it is a nice looking cabinet and holds a lot, as long as you are not under the impression that it is a full size pantry. I plan on adding to it, by having the husband build a 24 inch cabinet extension on the bottom, for cans of broth and other things, with 2 shelves. This will bring my spices and cooking needs eye level and keep it all in one place. This is a great cabinet and sturdy, with a lot of storage space for the right things, with fast shipping time.

My disappointment parallels the reviews I read after the fact. Despite reading and even measuring my space, I was surprised at how small the cabinet was, how long it took to put together, and how small the shelves were. I ordered two and sent one back. However, the one I assembled works really well for my daughter's small toys--if you have a kid into organizing lego or knex or playmobil this is perfect, because it creates a "store" where she can take toys in and out easily. We'll see how long the organization lasts.

I needed a small cabinet I could use as a kitchen catch all. It took be about 3 hours to assemble, but I was cooking dinner and watching TV. I used a drill with an Allen tip to tighten everything, which made things go a little faster. Be careful on your torque! This cabinet is so cute. I did eliminate some shelves so I could store larger items. Fits well in a small space and a "15 flat panel TV sits every well on the top. Excellent but for the money!

We were so excited to find this thinkiing it would work out great, holding cans on the doors, but the shelf is so short, larger cans fall right out. The shelves themselves are not very wide at all and we can hardly fit anything on them! One of the handles was stripped when we recieved it so we had to get a replacement one right away, as we put it together one of the doors had a long crack in it. The handles both fell off within a couple of days. We were not at all impressed with this product and would not recommend it to anyone!!!!

The product looks cute but it takes a long time to assemble. Too many pieces and parts to put together. Irritating. It also does not look strong enough.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Different, lighter than picture on site
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The product was not made to last, one should just expect it to last a few years at the most.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Do not quite remember it.
The cabinet is in a million pieces.......the doors say they are #10 and there are approx 8-10 small pieces that have the #10 on them..I need to return this item!!!! I have purchased several items from you and this one was very dissapointing! I need you to pick this up. My husband is disabled therefore we can not lift it to take it to the post office or UPS.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. W can not figure it out! It would take a rocket scientist to assemble this unit!
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Not at all
I wasn't sure if i would like this cabinet when i ordered it. The doors open allowing access to many items that cluttered open spaces. I really like it.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? color was as described
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. strong varnish smell when I opened the box, now that it is in use I wouldn't want to be without it.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? great, but it is small, look at the size of the salt container on the promo photo
Make sure you check the dimensions - I like the size, but it may be smaller than it appears. The directions for assembling this thing are ridiculous. It takes FOREVER to put together because of this. However, it's a nifty little pantry that will provide some extra storage for cans and smaller goods. I'm happy with it.
This would be a nice pantry if the design was better. Very hard to put together and the pieces do not go together properly for it to be stable. Falls apart if moved.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. poor design
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? smaller then what I thought
This cabinet is ok, not great. It's very small, and doesn't hold very much. It works well for what I wanted and for the price. It IS wood, but it's wood pieces patchworked together kind of like patchworked leather. I'm using it, but I wouldn't buy another one.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color is just as described
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Not too bad for the price
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The description didn't say that it was a patchwork of pine
