Was very easy to put together -- everything snaps together except the door handles have some screws. Wished the shelves were a little stronger. Looks very nice in my garage. Liked it so much that bought a second one.

This was not what I expected. The cabinet is very flimsy! I just hope it makes at least 1 year! the only thing that I like is the shelves which I need to store the pool chemicals and toys. but they are not very good . The bottom shelve is already bowing!! It has only been set up about 2 weeks.

A decent storage cabinet for the price, great for garages etc. Quite a bit tricky in putting it together, must follow directions carefully, very easy to put things in backwards so you must pay attention to pictures. I purchased three for my garage area. Putting together the first one was a bit of a challenge but the second and third went rather quickly. Suggest getting someone to help you assemble.

not worth the money
I purchased the big brother of this cabinet for food storage and its not bad this smaller one I had to use a razor blade to trim off flashing from the poor tooling they have. The bottom panel which is also the bottm shelf has Zero support ribs modeled in. Just single thickness of plastic which just flexes. The top panel did not come with the edge trim so its open cavity. Im using this to store spray cans and oil in my garage so im not going to return and start over. They give you plugs to plug vent hols used for manufacturing. Most of plugs dont fit. Poor tooling.

    Lots of pieces, but together they make a strong cabinet which we will use on a covered patio for pool chemicals, tools, towels parts and supplies, the base shelf has a bucket of 3" tabs and a bucket of shock and a 3L bottle, spaced the other shelves to accommodate the other pool related stuff. Enough options on the shelf spacing that you can find a configuration that works for you. The doors open easily and close securely enough to keep bugs out. Will see how it does in 100 degree heat from the TX summers, it is now April so cool. It seems well constructed and it was made, according to the box, of 50 recycled plastic AND... in the Already Great, USA!!! It took about an hour to put it together.

      I bought this to put my husband's odds and ends in, instead of his stuff lying all over dining room table, counter tops ect. I put it together by my self, 61 yr old 5'3 woman. Directions were fairly clear, snapped together fairly easily. Took maybe 2 hrs to put together. Husband loves it, was surprised how much it holds. Also looks nice, have it in our den. He is wanting to get a couple more to put in his shed. Bought it online and had delivered to my door in latter part of February 2017.

      Generally a good product. Expected a higher quality finish for the money. Lots of plastic flashing needed trimmed up to look as I had expected.

      The cabinet is perfect for the space in my garage. I especially liked that it's raised above the floor. There's plenty of shelf space and a place to insert a lock if desired.

      These are plastic and not super sturdy so don't expect them to be suitable for heavy use. Assembling them is super easy and the instructions simple to follow, although I did need to use a blade to trim excess plastic here and there to make things fit properly. I bought two of these for my garden shed and one was fine while the other had some warped pieces. Still worked out for me though and overall, decent cabinets for the price.

        The engineers who designed this product must be quietly weeping. The product _design_ is nice. It looks good, and would assemble very easily _except_ the manufacturing quality is atrocious. The flashing (excess bits of plastic from the molding and manufacturing process) was often not trimmed at all. This meant I had to pull out a knife to trim it off, so parts would interlock and fit properly. This product is manufactured by USLeisure in Stanley, North Carolina. I do like to support American manufacturing when I can, but this makes me disappointed. I know this isn't a testament to all US manufacturers -- I have a product from Little Tykes that is also molded plastic and is made in the USA, and it's very well built. USLeisure needs to step up their quality control.

        Overall I'd say this is an ok cabinet as long as you don't have anything heavy to store in it. It works fine for paper products, mops and brooms. I think it's height is the downfall. Once the top half is put on it starts to feel flimsy and cheap. It goes together pretty fast and easily. I did have some issues with excess plastic over some of the openings that you have to snap parts into. I just pushed the plastic down with a screwdriver. It works for my needs and for the price it's alright.

        I don't write many reviews, but I was fairly disappointed with this product. While I do realize it is a fabricated plastic (injection molded) plastic cabinet, I had hoped it would be a little better quality for the price. The package I received may have been opened previously (I ordered online so I had no other choice of packages.) 2 of the riser legs were missing from the package. I was able to assemble without the legs. 2 of the side panels were warped (caved in). Numerous spots on the plastic had overflow plastic that had to be trimmed. After final assembly, one of the doors does not close correctly... you sort of have to jimmy it each time. I'd recommend spending a little more money and purchasing a better quality product if you have the means.

          We got ours to use as a pantry--store canned and dry foods in it. It's pretty bad. In less than a year, the shelves are so bowed that everything leans toward the center. We never put much in here--the shelves have never been more than 1/3rd full of cans, and never close to the "44-lb capacity". Now, the shelves are so bowed from front to back that things will fall over if we tried to fill the shelf to capacity. I can't imagine putting tools, cans of paint, books, or anything heavier than possibly towels in it. The weak shelves really limit the utility of this cabinet.

            This cabinet is perfect for our purpose! We wanted a lightweight yet durable cabinet to keep extra kitchen supplies stored in our utility room. While nothing to be stored is particularly heavy, we followed another reviewer suggestion of putting 3/4 inch electrical conduit pieces into the channel in each shelf to keep it from the possibility of sagging. It worked perfectly! The cabinet was very easy to put together and took about an hour. This cabinet is by no means a heavy duty sturdy quality piece as a metal one would be but it is perfect for our purpose. We didn't want to pay $500 for a cabinet to store Tupperware and small appliances. We plan to pick up another one tomorrow or next weekend.

              Patio storage cabinet
              Directions were quite simple to follow...the components fit together as designed...and I was able to easily assemble the cabinet . I liked it so well, especially the looks and color..that I bought a second unit several months later.

                Meets basic need for covered cabinet
                We just wanted a cabinet for cleaning supplies to avoid a cluttered look in our basement and to reduce dust collection on laundry and cleaning supplies. When finally assembled, it does look organized and the shelves seem to support the weight without much bowing, except slightly on the top shelf with laundry detergent. Note that I have several gallons of cleaning liquids on the bottom shelf which seems to be straight. See attached photo. 1. Despite the claims, the cabinet was not that easy to assemble. We needed a mallet to tap pieces together and we used an exacto knife to cut out extra plastic remaining in places that were supposed to fit together snugly. This affected door closure on the cabinet, for example. It closes but needs some extra effort. When closed the cabinet looks fine. See attached photo. 2. Video and paper assembly directions differed in a few spots so we just figured things out on our own. The video did not reflect our experience as we had to stop and cut out plastic in order to make parts fit. 3. We had originally considered buying 2 cabinets but decided to try one out. Glad we did as we would not buy additional units of this type. It remains to be seen if the unit will hold up and stay sturdy. I expect we will need to pay attention to weight distribution and perhaps bowing over time.

                  Very functional shelving unit
                  Shelving unit was easy to assemble. It did not take two people, 4 sets of hands, 2 worked just fine. Unit has a lot of room for a lot of stuff !

                  Poor quality so far
                  Purchased yesterday, began assembly today. Took all the parts and sorted per instructions. The top of the unit one of the mounting posts was completely broke off the unit and the base of the unit one the mounting posts in "splintered" away from the unit. We'll see how Home Depot handles.

                      perfect for basement storage
                      the cabinet was easy to put together and is a perfect storage cabinet for both paints, chemicals and miscellaneous items. I purchased two and use the other for my wife's spare dishes, pots and pans and various kitchen utility items not used daily. Lightweight but sturdy cabinets.

                      Weak shelves bowed and collapsed under weight well within specs
                      About a month after I set up and filled this cabinet in my garage, I came home to find the doors had opened and the contents of one shelf had spilled out onto the floor. Another shelf was heavily bowed, with the contents all falling toward the center and the corners partly lifted up off the supports. The product description says "Weight capacity of 44 pounds per shelf". I weighed the contents of each of those two shelves: Each was supporting about 29 pounds. The shelves don't straighten out, so it isn't as though I can put them back in the cabinet and just expect them to support less weight. They're no longer level.

                        Great storage shelves but need reinforcement
                        Although some reviews say these are difficult to assemble, I didn't have an issue with that at all. Photo directions are good. Several reviews say these are a little flimsy, however this keeps the overall weight down which I like. I solved the possible sagging shelves issue from too much weight by getting an 8' x 2.5" x 3/4" poplar board and cutting 2 foot lengths to match the shelves front edge, and then cut 1 inch wide boards that fit into the front of the shelves slot. Just hammered the board into the front slot, then drilled where the holes for the tabs are, and now I have books and tools on the shelves without sagging at all. The back and sides have the tabs for support so only the front needed help. So, for the price these are a bargain and I'll get some more if need more storage space. Have the larger version in my garage and will reinforce those too if needed.

                          Easy to put together. Everything snaps in place. Handle pre-drilled holes didn't match up but noroblem to drill my own. The shelves snap in place and look great! Very happy and very organized!

                          Very sturdy resin storage cabinet that was relatively easy to assemble. We live in an apartment with a spacious patio where we put two of these cabinets. They serve to store all of our extra items including, tools, golf clubs, gardening equipment and some hazardous materials,
