Windham Floor Cabinet with Door and Drawer

I bought two of these cabinets for storage in my apartment bathroom. They arrived 2 days after I placed my order, meticulously packed and the package included every piece I needed to assemble the cabinets... nothing was missing and that made me happy! Assembling was easy, each cabinet took about 30-45 minutes. There was one small problem with one of the cabinets- on the inside, one wall has peg holes for the shelf and one wall doesn't. It wasn't a problem for me because I'm using it to store towels and don't need the extra shelf, but I was a little disappointed to see a flaw in a product I was really impressed with. Overall, they are very sturdy, I love the color and the size. They are better than what I was expecting.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? There are two pictures- one is dark, one is more natural wood- these cabinets are the dark, deep espresso brown color
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very sturdy, great quality for the price. 1 glitch- inside the cabinet, one wall has peg holes and one side is missing them.

I bought 2 of these units, thinking they would be a great solution for bathroom storage. However, after putting them together, I am much less enthusiastic--there are major quality control issues: 1. the website shows a warm medium brown--based on reviews, I knew the actual color seemed to be a darkish brown with red tones, and I was fine with that--but turns out that 1 of my units is that dark brown-reddish color, and one is a flat, cold dark brown that looks like a painted finish! Not happy--and I ordered these units at the same time--is it too much to expect that the color would be similar? 2. During assembly, other problems became apparent--I'm a veteran of a lot of **** assembly, so I didn't think it would be difficult--and it wouldn't have been, if pieces had actually been labeled properly and predrilled holes placed properly. To my deep regret, I did not notice until 90% done that on one of the units, the predrilled holes for the fixed shelf had been put on the WRONG ends of this rectangular piece! During assembly, the (incorrectly placed) shelf came flush with the edges of the unit, but I just assumed that the door would float above it. Wrong, the door doesn't even close with this misplaced piece. Since the only way I could remove it short of pulling apart the whole unit (I actually tried, but the glue had already dried), I ended up just taking a hammer and whacking the shelf to break it so I could remove it--so I have now have a unit with one less shelf than it was supposed to have. 3. Poor QC: in the problematic 2nd unit (with the wrongly oriented holes), 2 of the glass panes had been cracked in a corner during insertion, and the front of the top drawer had been pulled away, exposing particleboard. I glued it back in place, but am not optimistic about its durability. Parts were also mislabeled in this unit, and the top platform came with 2 of the 4 corners crushed, despite being packed in a mountain of styrofoam, so clearly the damage occurred at the factory :( Overall, I am really NOT impressed--the completed units seem sturdy (at least nothing fell off when I oved it from the kitchen to the bathroom), but that's faint praise. I also bought the medicine cabinet in this series, which I have yet to assemble, but I'm not feeling enthusiastic about tackling that job. I would NOT recommend these storage cabinets to anyone unless they were priced under $50. Beware!!

I needed a smallish storage unit for my bathroom and this fit the bill perfectly. My handyman put it together with no trouble (though I wish there were written instructions and not ujst drawings.)
