SauderCosta Library Base, Chalked Chestnut finish

Very nice!

For the price this piece is just ok. It took two hours to assemble; instructions were clear and quirky but still frustrating. Their twist lock pieces are plastic and split in two when you tighten. Mostly I’m disappointed with the actual measurements of the pieces. The drawer isn’t going to hold much at only 1.5 inches deep and the shelves are encumbered by the door stops. I guess it’s a standard piece for flat pack furniture but for the price I expected a little more. Should have went for the ikea one.

This unit came unassembled. One IMPORTANT piece (bottom) had been assembled, apparently, at the factory. It was assembled WRONG, which caused huge headaches. Some of the assembling hardware was so flimsy, we had to go to the hardware store to find L brackets to hold the pieces together.If I had not thrown away the shipping box, I would have returned this in a heart beat. The piece is nice to look at, but it's nothing I would ever buy again. Again, you get what you pay for...….this piece was not expensive, so I should not have expected otherwise, I guess. Lesson learned!!!

I don't usually write bad reviews, but if I could give this zero stars, I would. This cabinet is flimsy and a nightmare. None of the holes lined up, and when we finally got it together, as soon as I put something in it, the bottom broke. It is not sturdy AT ALL!!. I have built many, many, many kits in my day, and am very adept at negotiating instructions and to-be-built units. This one was a nightmare from the beginning, and a total waste of $169.00. I couldn't even return it because it was in pieces by the time I was done. I am willing to admit that I might have just got a bad item, as obviously some people had a good experience. However, if I were to go on my experience alone, I would say "run screaming like your hair is on fire!".

This horrible little cabinet is so poorly made that when you open the doors, the drawer opens too. There is zero clearance to allow the doors to function independently. I made the additional mistake of thinking I'd be able to paint the cabinet a different color. Unfortunately it's covered with some sort of weird waxy coating that makes the paint peel off in ribbons at the slightest touch. I wasted so much time trying to make this work but ultimately it's a pure disappointment.
