ClosetMaid Pantry Cabinet Cupboard with 2 Doors, Adjustable Shelves, Standing, Storage for Kitchen, Laundry or Utility Room, White

Hi everybody. Am perplexed by some of the negative reviews and comments I am seeing here about this cabinet. We liked it so much, that we ordered a second one and placed them side by side. This size is very difficult, if not impossible to find! We needed a cabinet to organize some things we had stored in our entry way, such as bags of pet food, extra bottles of water, soda, seltzer, etc. that were in plain sight and looked just way too cluttered. The entry is not a large area at all and at 12.5 " deep, this was the ideal depth for us, as it contains all that we wanted to store in it with ease, and does not jut out too far, which would block the entry window, and also make exiting and entering more awkward. For this reason, the shorter height was also ideal for our purposes, as anything taller would simply "take over" the entry with respect to size. It's also nice to be able to neatly store a few things on top of it and have them easily within reach. It is easily sturdy enough for our purposes, and again, I am simply not understanding why people are complaining about this, as ours seems to be more than sufficiently sturdy to accommodate our needs.As for assembly, this really was not the nightmare which some reviewers are describing at all. Simply followed the directions, assembled the cabinet face down, (on the doors), and stood it up when finished. The only tools required were a hammer and a Phillps' screwdriver, NOT a power drill or power screwdriver as these are constructed out of particle board and that would be overkill and strip the screws! That simple. Regarding the gaps that some are describing, ours may have a VERY slight gap between the doors, but nothing worthy of noting or anything to complain about. Speaking of the doors, I would like to add that since, as mentioned, we were trying to work with a very small space, the double doors were a MUCH better option for us as opposed to the single door cabinets. Just another thing to bear in mind. We were concerned that these would take a beating during shipping and arrive in questionable shape, but this concern was unwarranted, since they arrived in great condition. All in all, we are very, very happy with these cabinets. No complaints at all.

Be sure to attach to wall. It tips over easy. Especially with doors open. Other than that i am not disappointed.

Pros:Lots of extra storage space. Easy to move around once it's built (pre-secured to the wall).Adjustable shelves are great! The walk attachment provides an extra sense of safety - definitely use it!In the second one I built I left the permanent shelf out so I could fit taller items such as my broom and folding grocery cart.Instructions and pictures were easy to follow (when available, see below).I price checked and researching many products, from multiple places, and landed on this one from Amazon.Cons:Heavy to lift when in the box, my building maintenance guys had to carry them one by one.The top adjustable shelf holes are not usable because the door hinges block the shelf from being set down on the shelf plugs.In the first once I assembled the instruction manual was not cut into pages so I almost missed 2 whole steps (easy solution was to rip it apart). Also, 2 of the long screws provided for the main support were bent/ damaged. It still went together and seems sturdy for now but only time will tell.In both cabinets, the two front doors are not the same color and it's very noticeable (my solution is going to be to paint them).3 of the white stoppers that go on the bottom, to help it stand even on the floor ABC's not scratch, were also bent and thus not usable (instead I used the anti-slip fabric stickers that are used on chair legs).The backing is very cheap thin cardboard and doesn't provide any support or additional sturdiness (if you use it, make sure the color you want is facing the right way - I didn't see one side was white and once was cardboard color, thus my 2 cabinets don't match inside Haha)

Easy to build. Durable, looks perfect. Great size for small space. Stands aligned and recommend.

This arrived yesterday and I put it together this morning. I could kick myself for not wiping down each piece and inspecting it before putting it together. The way it goes together requires you to put the doors on the floor and build it up from there, which is different from any other I've ever built. As a result, there were some things I didn't even notice until I put it together. I stood it up and started wiping it down with a dust cloth, but many of the spots I thought were dust and packaging turned out to be scratches, some of them big, all over the front doors. It was built on a special wool covering that I use when building furniture just to make sure I don't scratch anything, so I know it wasn't me. Then when I wiped down one of the sides, close to the bottom I noticed a huge scratch going all the way across. When I got close to it I realized it was more than just a scratch; it was a crack in the particle board all the way across it!! I never even saw it. That was the side that attached to the doors first and the way it was facing, I wasn't looking at that side. So now I have this thing put together that not only looks bad, but is structurally unsound. I tried clicking on the link they have to contact ClosetMaid if we have any issue, but each time I've tried, I get the message that it can't be found. I'm not even sure what to do at this point. The box was thrown out this morning and it is put together, so how can I even return it to Amazon? I will try to add pics or video to this review. UPDATE: Amazon Customer Service made it right for me.
