Sauder Select Storage Cabinet/ Pantry cabinets, White finish

Very easy to assemble. Instructions are precise. All parts are identified clearly. Hardware is identified on instructions and labeled clearly on the individual package. The entire unit was constructed perfectly with all pre-drilled holes in exact alignment. The unit was packaged very well for shipment and their was no damaged or missing parts.

Was purchased for extra storage in my laundry room. My husband and I assembled it fairly easily. All the pieces were included. I put all the shelves on the right side so I could use the left side for mops and brooms. It is just what I needed.

First, here’s what I like about these cabinets:They’re super easy to assemble. Well, that is compared to some products like this that I’ve assembled. The parts were clearly labeled, and the instructions were complete and easy to understand (and in English). No boo-boos on the first one – I ordered two of them – and the second one went together even more quickly.They look nice. The molding trim on the doors gives them more of a custom look than your average white, assembled, particle board cabinet. The handles are a brushed-chrome finish and the hinges are heavy duty as well. It was well packaged. Both boxes arrived undamaged and the contents were in perfect condition.Now, their shortcomings:Every piece of Sauder Furniture I’ve ever assembled (and that’s a bunch of ‘em) has been made of ¾ inch particle board. This one is NOT, it’s much thinner! It’s more like 3/8 inch. Really. Some pieces bend when you push on them. That is both good and bad. It makes the cabinet not so heavy to handle and assemble (two people can easily lift it, or maybe one strong person). But it’s NOT HEAVY DUTY. That’s clearly stated in the description, if you read it carefully. They say the weight limit for the upper shelves in 25 lbs and the bottom shelf 50 lbs. I would not, under any circumstances, put that much weight on every shelf because I'd be afraid of sagging. Maybe half that, but then I’m careful.I knew this and I need it for storing lightweight items, so it suited my purposes. But don’t go thinking that you’re going to stock this baby with gallons of paint. Please. So, for me it worked fine. It has a strap you can screw the top to the wall with, and I recommend that you use it, because it could tip over. I will keep you updated if it fails to hold up in the long run.As a Prime member, I buy a LOT of stuff from amazon. Living out in a rural area far from a city, amazon is my go-to source for many of my purchases. I must rely heavily on your product reviews to help me decide which item is best for me -- especially when I can't actually see, touch or hold the product.I take my personal product reviews seriously, and if something proves to be a piece of junk, I'll tell you - and if it's great or mediocre, I'll tell you that, too. My policy is to try to write the kind of reviews I want to read and to update my reviews if for some reason the product fails to perform as advertised during the period it's warrantied for. I do ask that if you found this review helpful in making your decision, that you please click on the "yes" button below.

This is the third one of these I’ve purchased for my home. I love them! Bought two of them 3 years ago and they’ve held up nicely. I even bought two for my daughter’s home. Sadly, the one I received today came with two of the pieces damaged. Instead of dealing with an Amazon return, I contacted the company directly and they’re sending me replacements, no questions asked! Sauder clearly takes care of their customers. I’m delighted and will purchase their products again.

It fits perfectly, just like my kitchen.. 🦾

This cabinet is not as sturdy as Sauder furniture I've purchased in the past but it looks nice. One of the doors came damaged with two cracks in it but the box was not damaged which means it was put in the box damaged at the factory. Thankfully it's easy to get replacement parts from Sauder. Assembly wasn't too hard, the instructions were good. If you're gentile with this it will probably last a while.

Went together good I was happy to see it is better than they used to be it didn't have those cheap cam locks it's all screws turned out good

I own several pieces of Sauder furniture that are sturdy and look nice for the price, so I ordered this for my home office...big mistake. This is NOT the same quality as most Sauder furniture.BOTTOM LINE: Aesthetically it is not nice-looking up close and in person...and functionally it is not at all sturdy nor adjustable (enough)...so it's basically an over-priced hunk of pressed wood/thin particleboard. I'm quite sure that if I listed it on Craigslist (to avoid having to haul it to the dump), I likely couldn't get twenty bucks for it since it is so flimsy it would fall apart when someone tried to move it.More details:1) Not sturdy. You can push it and watch it sway. A minor earthquake (the kind you sleep through) will probably topple it. Don't expect to store books, canned goods, or anything even moderately heavy in it. The shelves will bow or break for sure, probably in less than a year. I doubt it will even withstand office supplies or blankets/linens long term. Maybe rolls of yarn, pillows, or stuffed animals. Pictures from other reviewers showing other items inside are almost certainly taken right after assembly and loading it up, not after six months or a year, which is when the problems from weight and daily use will occur.2) No extra hardware is included, not even a single 1-cent nail, so you better hope it's all good...mine was not. One of the small screws was manufactured without the slots in the head for the screwdriver so obviously it was unusable...I had to make a trip to the hardware store to find a screw that size (unusually small). Time + money.3) My back panel came with the pilot holes drilled on the wrong side. The holes should have been on the unfinished side because that side is supposed to face out (and go against a wall where you can't see it). The finished side is what you should see behind the shelves when you open the cabinet doors. Without the pilot holes to guide you, you could probably figure out how to nail around all the edges, but how to get the nails into the center panel?? Not happening without pilot holes. So I had to nail it on with the finished side out (grrrr) and now I see an unfinished piece of cardboard every time I open the doors. I see photos from another reviewer and although they didn't comment on this, their back panel was wrong, too...not as noticeable on a white cabinet, but still bad.4) The back panel side edge is unfinished. It's only a few millimeters thick, but I find it annoying they couldn't coat it with the same dark brown color as the unit (or white for a white unit). From the side of the cabinet, you can see the thin edge of the back panel which looks like (and is) a piece of tan cardboard. Poor design.5) The top is mostly finished, but not completely. The edges of a couple of pieces are unfinished so if you're putting it somewhere you can see the top, be warned. On the dark brown cabinet it's especially noticeable.6) The design uses a ton of screws (plus small nails for the back panel) and not cam locks or any concealed hardware. So once assembled, you can see all of the dozens and dozens of screw heads. They are slightly recessed and to solve the problem of seeing them, Sauder gives you a sheet of round stickers to put over the screws. Dozens of little stickers that don't come off the sheet easily. Nor do they look nice once applied. This unit should not be put inside the house or in a living space--from an aesthetic standpoint it is really only suitable for a garage, attic, storage room, etc.7) The shelves are adjustable but not to a large degree. Why they couldn't drill a few more holes to give more placement options is beyond me. As someone else pointed out, the center panel is fixed and prevents wide/large items from being stored. So ironically, some of the most suitable items to store, weight-wise, like blankets and pillows, will not fit inside.8) Assembly: not the worst I've encountered and the directions are fairly clear. However, in today's age of assemble-it-yourself furniture there are way better designs out there that are easier to put together and yield a nicer looking product in the end.I highly recommend you keep shopping--you can do better. I will be calling on Monday to see what my options are, as this cabinet is worth no where near what I paid for it. I wouldn't give forty bucks for it.
