HOMCOM 172cm Wooden Storage Cabinet Cupboard With 2 Doors 4

So, the dimensions are reasonably good. There are four shelf spaces, which I like, as opposed to three, which you get in most pieces of furniture. It’s deeper than I expected and you can fit an amazing amount of stuff into it, which is great. I also like that the backboard isn’t just tapped in with nails, like so many are, but actually screwed in – even at the back of the shelves, which gives me confidence that it won’t fall out with time.

Now onto the negatives. Here goes. Firstly, if you don’t have power tools, forget it. Ive always trusted to my handy screwdriver for flat pack furniture, but I wouldn’t have been able to assemble this otherwise. The holes for the main screw things are actually too small. The only way I could get them in was to force it in with a power tool. It would have taken a lot of effort and a lot of time to do this by hand. Secondly, you need a LOT of floor space to assemble this. The instructions make you lay all the pieces out, screw in the screw thingies first. At first you think it’ll take forever to assemble it, but once you’ve done all the screwing in, it starts coming together pretty quick. I also found that this cupboard is extremely heavy once assembled (for me at least anyway). Lastly, the shelves are not movable. They are where they are. As you get four of them and they’re well spaced out, it didn’t bother me, but in case you’re hoping they can be adjusted – they can’t.
