Ameriwood HOME Flynn Storage Cabinet, White

My husband I bought this cabinet, along with some others, in a mid-winter attempt to organize our stuff. It was fairly easy to put together, but it's better if you have some experience. The door hinges were the trickiest part, but not that bad. The unit is pressboard, so it is heavy. You might need help lifting it off the floor. That's true of all units like this, however, and this one was better than most. The storage inside is great. The shelves are just deep and high enough for the food and other supplies I need to keep inside. It's a handy and handsome addition to our kitchen and it's hard to imagine how we got along without it.

I purchased this cabinet in 2014 as an overflow pantry in my garage. Earlier this year, the hinges on one of the doors broke. I found the necessary product number and part number on Ameriwood's website and requested replacement hinges from the parts department on 11/14 this year. I expected an email saying that the product was out of warranty and there would be a charge for the hinges and shipping. Instead, four days later, I received in the mail four hinges. No invoice was enclosed. What a lovely surprise to receive such great customer service! Thank you Ameriwood!

These were 100% the absolute worst directions I have ever been provided. I highly recommend reading from the last step to the first step in order to understand how to put together. They do not tell you enough detail and it took 3 times of taking it apart again to ensure the holes were in the right place. Otherwise the product is sturdy and good value for the money but a SERIOUS waste of time.

I bought this cabinet for my office, just needed a simple storage cabinet and didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars. The shipping was terrible, not totally the seller's fault, and it arrived over a month late. Fairly beat up once it did arrive. And it was straight up dirty and worn out, see pictures. I don't think that was just from shipping. They didn't even send instructions, we found the website and printed them ourselves. One of the door pieces broke as soon as we put it together. A lot of the measurements were off and we had to make adjustments ourselves in order to make it fit together. I kept it because I can't afford a different one and need the storage now. So I have to lift the left door in a certain way to make it close. Overall it's a pretty crappy product.

So, having grand experience in assembling lower tier particle board furniture, I was ready for what I was facing in purchasing this cabinet. There are two magical steps one needs to follow to make furniture like this work - read the instructions fully and match up all the pieces (this will seriously curtail the urge to throw the whole thing into the street to watch traffic smash it out of sheer frustration) and also use wood glue on the seams and in the screw holes.I needed an inexpensive solution for storage in my half-bath which is not frequented by anyone other than myself and the occasional house mate. It is a dry room, so moisture would not ultimately cause the cabinet to disintegrate.I assembled the cabinet quickly, it was relatively painless, and I did not need additional tools or a close circle of friends to both burn sage and cleanse my house of bad spirits and pray for me.Until I worked my way to the doors. I spent a good portion of my day trying to make the hinges work so the doors close. I had removed the hinges, rearranged them, reconfigured them, and did all sorts of stuff to make the doors close. I was downright irritated and did not think, for the price I paid for this cheap cabinet, I would have to deal with bent, poorly made hinges which will not allow the doors to close.I had even wrote a ranty review, because I did not want to spend extra money and time making this thing work - it's why I ordered it to my door from Amazon. I contacted Amazon customer service and the absolutely friendliest associate offered immediate assistance. I let her know I wanted to contact the manufacturer to send new hinges, and she arranged to send another whole cabinet to replace this one. I thought it was wonderful and actually turned my frustration around.I will say knowledge of assembling Ikea furniture would be helpful for assembly, but ultimately having some basic wood working skills, wood glue, and a good friend to help assemble this makes a difference. Sort your parts and follow the instructions 100% and it is an okay cabinet.It is basic and will look decent, but realize it is a cheap particle board cabinet meant for a quick storage solution. That is what it will seemingly do. Minus the doors, it is solid with glue, and I think it will serve the purpose of auxiliary toilet paper, towel, cleaner, and bathroom supplies well. If you need to store heavy objects (stuff you know weighs more than 30-40 pounds total, together), then this cabinet will not serve you well.I give this cabinet 3 stars because I cannot use it as I had planned and it is also a little more cheaply made than I expected. The instructions show better wood screws, it came with cheap drywall screw. The door latch is weirdly plastic and slightly askew, and I totally did not expect grey plastic handles based on the advertising for the furniture piece.

I gave the assembly 3 stars because some of the holes did not line up when assembling but it was super easy to make our own holes specifically when putting the doors on. That was really the only time we had the issue. Otherwise, it's great! We dont have a pantry so this is perfect for storing food for just my husband and I. Especially during these hard times we finally have somewhere to store our extra stuff!Also, I give credit to how sturdy that thing is! It's very good quality for the price!

This Pantry is so sturdy and works very well for my purpose. I bought a lot of new Quilts, Blankets and Sheet Sets and Curtains with no where to store them (I hate to pass up a good sale). When the package arrived it was very heavy but my husband removed all the parts and assembled the pantry. It is very roomy 4 or 5 shelves and is able to hold everything I needed it to. Now I think it's time to order a second one, and this time It will be for the kitchen. This pantry is strong enough to hold extra can goods and other foods. Thanks Amazon for having just the right product I needed at an affordable price. I checked some other stores and that's just where I left them.

Assembly instructions not very clear, it is eazy to make an error in a step and not discovering the error 2 or 3 Steps further when it'stoo late to correct!

Definitely very flimsy. Maybe suitable for linens.

You get what you pay for. If all you need is a quick to assemble pantry that isn’t great quality then this is your cabinet. It’s a standard particle board cabinet that’s serves a purpose..

You get what you pay for. I bought this cabinet because I needed a cabinet that would fit a 24 inch space and it was the only one I could find. If the shipping charges hadn't been so high I suppose it would have been okay. As shipping charges were almost as much as the cabinet I feel I paid too much. Having said that, the cabinet itself was fine and not exceptionally difficult to assemble. We added a piece onto the outside top to add some strength.

It is not easy to put together.. maybe with another person. It weighs a ton on its own and it's shelves on the inside are small. It's quite expensive for its size and came with no instructions.
