Heartland Cabinetry Keystone 18" Wall Cabinet W1830, White

I purchased two of these cabinets last week and just got them installed. Since there were a lot of negative reviews I wanted to post my experience on them. These are very decent cabinets for the price. I purchased these to replace wire shelving so this was a huge upgrade for me.It took me about 1 hour to assemble each cabinet by myself. As others have mentioned you definitely want to use the glue provided and make sure all parts are accounted for before assembling. It is not necessary to have a second person but it would be helpful at the last stages of assembly. Hanging the cabinet is also a one person job as they provide a mounting board that will hold the cabinet in place temporarily. They even provide some mounting screws but I opted to buy my own.Before settling on these cabinets is checked my local hardware stores and here on amazon. The hardware stores had a little heavier duty products but for a higher price. The ones they sold were .75 inches thick as opposed to this unit at just. 625 inches thick. It doesn't sound like much but it is much thicker side by side. I chose these because I was using them in my laundry room so they won't be getting heavy usage and they were cheaper. I definitely would not use these in a kitchen or other high usage areas as i dont think they won't hold up well to moisture.I was a little hesitant to buy these online for fear of them getting damaged during shipping, but they were well packed and arrived fine. The fit and finish of these cabinets is very good. I was able to get everything lined up evenly. Mine came with a few minor flaws, but nothing that will be in sight. The shelves seem very sturdy and can hold around 40 lbs each as stated in the manual. The actual measurements on this unit are 36 wide x 12 deep x 29.75 high inches and they weigh in just over 60 lbs.The cabinets did look a little bland so we added some crown moulding to the top along with silver handles. They look amazing now (check out the before and after pics). I also decided to build a custom shelf to fit between the cabinets because I wanted wall to wall storage for a clean look. I just used .625 inch thick shelf board from the hardware store and the color matched almost perfectly. In all I spent less than $60 for all the extra items I added to the cabinets. I am a do it yourself type but have never installed cabinets before or done anything like this. I say the process was easier than I expected.

It started out by receiving one of the side panels had no holes drilled into it to hold the shelf. Had to call and request them to send me a new panel,that took 6 days to arrive so there sat all the pieces on my garage floor waiting to be finished. Next when you came to put the sides together the lock nut ending up spliting two of the corners that I had to now glue and clamp hoping the corners would not come apart. Second or third which ever it may be I used the white plug to hold the shelf up inside the cabinet but that didn't work our. It seems the shelf is way to heavy for those holders so two of them bent and down came the shelf, not once but twice. So I then had to go to Home Depot to "buy" shelf holders" problem being you had to make sure you bought the right size to fit in the holes because they were small. I finally cut two 2x4 board to stand them upright to support that heavy shelf so it would not fall down for the fourth time. I should have taken a picture but was to annoyed at the time. Poor workmanship!!!!

I got this last week and was putting it together with a friend of mine, we following the directions it came with exactly as they were written and when we went to put one of the back panels on we got one side on and the other side ripped off and then we tried to do the other back panel a slightly different way after buying wood glue to attempt to fix the broken part and as soon as we moved the side panel with the back panel attached that side broke too. This item is very cheaply made. It's made of particle board, and is supposed to support a counter top and sink in it??

Ordered two of these in an order of base cabinets to install in a kitchen update. By the time we got around to putting them together we realized the side piece was broken on the first one. Opened the second one to swap out that piece and return just one. But the second one also had that piece broken. I believe it was the piece marked "B." Now I am ordering 2 more because they go with the rest of the kitchen and the other cabinets are already made. Hopefully it was just shipping. In which case I will leave a better review on the next two.

I read the other reviews before purchasing and was alittle concerned about the cabinets arriving with missing pieces and damaged. Came quick with all of the pieces arriving in good shape. Now it did take myself and my 23 year old to put the cabinets on the wall. I do have to recommend that you will need 2 people to hang. I am ordering another one today.

Not really big into writing reviews, but feel that we should write one on this item. It is not often that you get so excited about cabinets that are DIY, but we read the reviews and then did our homework so we thought this would be a great opportunity to enhance our work space. Boy, were we wrong! We never got to enjoy this product because after following the directions to a "T" with all the instructions included it began to fall apart and the dowels started poking through the wood. I am on the phone with Amazon as I type and they are working with me and will be getting a refund for this product. Buyer beware that you might not like this product as it is not as it seems.
