Gkesgm Wooden Christmas Advent Calendar House with 24 Drawers for Kids,ZAO-001

This is a very sturdy, well constructed advent calendar. It’s great to have drawers of different sizes and since they are 4 inches deep you have space for lots of different kinds of gifts. It does weigh 5 pounds so realized that shipping might be expensive if you were mailing it to somebody. Since it is real wood throughout there is some variation and it benefited from a light sanding. The back of one drawer needed a small amount of wood filler but nothing that most people would worry about. I’m pleased.

The quality does not live up to the price and the picture. Wood is split. Gaps in the plywood. Corners of a few drawers chipped off. Knobs glued on off center and misaligned. At least one nail missed its mark and it sticking out of the wood instead of into the other piece it is meant to secure. I am disappointed that no matter how much time and money I put into this project, crappy production and lack of quality control is going to make it look cheap.

We bought these for a DIY advent calendars and they worked perfectly. I hope to purchase two more. They are well made and all the drawers fit and slide well.

I love this product for the price. It is the perfect thing for what I needed. Although I will not be using it for an advent calendar, it would make a perfect one... For me, I have lots of little craft knick knacks that just don't really have a place and I'm sick of them all just kicking about in drawers. I didn't want a plastic storage solution so this is perfect and I will be able to decorate it to give it an apothecary vibe.

Seemed like a great little project and craft for an advent calendar. I was very quickly unimpressed with the quality. The drawers cannot be pulled out all the way. Mixing the drawers may cause them not to fit/fully slide in? I had one drawer so stuck I ended up having to break the framing because I pulled the glued on knob off.Might be okay if you like the wood finish. Would not recommend for crafting.
