The only good thing I can say about the cabinet is that it was easy to put together. When it arrived, the box was torn apart in places, but nothing looked damaged. When I was finally able to put it together, there was damage on pieces that seemed to be more protected. None of the doors met properly. In fact, I will probably take the glass doors off because the pre-drilled holes were too close together & they can't be closed at the same time. Some of the pre-drilled holes were too small for the dowels provided. All in all, not happy w/ the purchase.
Very cheap quality product. If I had seen it in person I would never have bought it, even if it was have the Overstock price. Cheap particle board, edges will fray quickly with any use. Avoid buying this one!

Looks cute and serves the purpose. Instructions were only pictures, but was able to put it together by myself in a few hours . The trim piece on top was broken, but decided it wasn't worth the trouble to return, so left it off. Fast shipping and saved a few bucks over the competition.

I am very pleased with my purchase of the microwave cabinet I searched a lot of places and came to discover that Overstock had the best price for something of this quality. I needed the cart to have enough space for my microwave as well as other things. Well I definitely got what I bargained for because it can hold my microwave as well as my 17 piece pot set, toaster, knife set and much more. The one negative I have with the product os that it does not come with wheels so moving it for claening purposes is not easy but other than that it is well worth it and I am pleased.

I read reviews of this product before purchase so I knew what to expect, but it was the perfect cabinet for my kitchen, that is why I took a chance. Shipping was quick. My husband put it together, it took awhile as the instructions are all pictures & it is low quality so parts weren't exactly perfect. There were three broken pieces, a door knob had no threading, wheels on the drawer assembly and the magnet that closes the glass doors. It seems that they were probably broken before they were even in the box at the factory. The cabinet does look nice in the kitchen but it is very low quality particle board...don't know how long it will last. For the price...I thought the quality would be a little better. Pay a little more to get something of better quality...or look around. I did chat with an overstock.com representative online, they contacted the company right away and I received my replacement parts very very quickly...so that was a plus.
This is a cheesey piece of furniture. It is not medium density fiberboard, it is low density fiberboard and one of the walls literally tore while I was assembling it. When all the parts are together it stops the constant swaying motion of something on the verge of disintegration, but I do not feel confident having my microwave and dishes in it. I read the reviews in advance so had some idea, and the price would indicate that it wouldn't be a solid piece, but the material of the actual product is shockingly low quality. I haven't until now seen any piece of furniture for sale at any venue that literally tears while assembling.
This cabinet was a good deal (I got for $$$ with shipping), and for the most part fulfills the needs we have. The drawer and cabinet shelves are flimsy, and can't hold too many pots or pans. Mostly, we needed it for extra storage, and found that it simply won't hold many of them. Aesthetically, it looks nice, but the finish was pulled off by the stickers marking the part numbers and the shelves came scratched in several places.
I'm very pleased with my microwave cabinet. It works perfectly in the space that I needed to fill. It looks very rich with the hutch and glass doors. My son put it together as it is time consuming but if you have someone who is good at putting things together you will be set. I would recommend that you try it out. Also I'm very pleased with the timely fashion that I received the product.
Overall this is a nice microwave cabinet, it arrived very fast and was pretty easy to put together. the instructions were not super clear but i've put a lot of things together so i didn't have any trouble. i think they even left out a few steps but again easy to figure out. the quality is ok, what you would expect for the price. a couple of the pieces had scratches on them when i opened the box becuase there were 3 loose screws that were rubbing on stuff and leaving scratches. mostly they were on the side that against my other cabinets so i didn't bother complaining but i woudl have liked them to package it better so the loose screws were not a problem. but i'm happy with the cabinet, it seems sturdy and it has added some much needed cabinet space to my kitchen.
using the microwave cabinet for a cabinet in our bathroom so perfect for this; no odor; all white material; no cracks in material when delivered and seems study once everything put together.
This cabinet looks nice once you finally get it together but was a pain!! Things broke while assembling and the doors and drawers are not cut even! Not worth the amount of money you pay with all of the headaches attached.
This is really poor quality. Two of the pieces came broken (which overstock quickly replaced). Put together, it is wobbly, and I do not trust putting anything heavy on it. As other reviewers have mentioned, the instructions are *very* difficult to follow and not intuitive. Some of the parts were labeled with the wrong stickers (one was the back of the drawer) so pay attention when putting it together. Two design flaws in particular stand out: (1) the top of the cabient is beige unfinished wood (so I painted it white) and (2) there is no hole for the microwave electrical cord. While I first thought that the pieces look hideously cheap, it does look nice put together.
The cabinet really does the job! It came with some interesting instructions, but it is fairly easy to follow if you're using common sense. One piece was chipped, but it wasn't detrimental. It still held together. The bottom line is, I got a great deal with this cabinet. I would recommend this to anyone who is just looking for extra storage.
This microwave cabinet goes perfectly in my l940's style kitchen that has few cabinets. It holds our small microwave, some decorative items, spices in the drawer, and my crock-pot and frying pans in the bottom cabinet. I wish it had a more cottage look to it, but it works. Assembling took longer than expected and was a little confusing but we managed. We glued everything as a precaution also.
This cabinet looks very nice and has a pretty good capacity for storage, but it is not sturdy. The instructions are pictures only, and some information is left out. The material will break during assembly if you are not careful, and one piece was even broke when we got it out of the box.
I love the way this stand looks and how much storage it offers. The instructions to put it together however, are AWFUL! The instructions are pictures with NO word instructions, and poor pictures. They don't tell you which sides to put up or down, and it took trial and error a couple of times to get it right. Aside from the building aspect of it, the particle board for the drawer was cracked on all of the pieces, so we had to install the track with screws through the sides instead of where they were suppose to be. But overall it is a good product, and you get what you pay for. Definitely have someone help you as this thing is NOT light!
I had posted a review earlier but do not see it here. I had given the product 1 star because the top portion came with two right sides, making the cabinet useless to me. Overstock.com resolved the issue quickly, and I now have a cabinet that's perfect for my kitchen. However, I won't be using this furniture long term, so remember - you get what you pay for. If you're looking for high quality furniture, self-assembly is not for you. Anyway, this actually looks quite nice in my current kitchen, and the extra storage space is great. Easy to assemble with a helper to hold things.
I got this b/c it worked great for my kitchen, i needed more room on my counter top and i needed a place to show my china and this was a great inexpensive way to do it. I think of it as buying two for the price of one. I got a microwave cabinet and a china hutch all in one. The bad thing was the top curved decorative piece was cracked right in the middle so we couldn't use that but it did not affect its structure. Its was nice to have a drawer and a cabinet underneath too.
For an inexpensive, utilitarian piece this cabinet fills the bill. I wanted somewhere to store a few pieces which would give me a little more shelf space for kitchen items. I do not have a micro wave but I do have a bread machine and a large Kitchen Aide mixer, either one would fit nicely in that space.The construction seemed flimsy during assembly. I even bought some small brackets to reenforce some of the corners for stability - the pressboard parts are heavy. However, by the time we finished putting it together and the glue was applied to the joining parts it felt nice and sturdy.
I was looking for a bookcase for my kitchen. I found this microwave cabinet. The perfect size and color. Looks great and fulfilled all requirements! There were some cosmetic issues and these were easily taken care of. Had to straighten a bent drawer slide. I think for an online unseen and touched purchase, everything worked out better than expected.
