Bush Furniture Cabot Tall Storage Cabinet with Doors in Espresso Oak

This delivered yesterday, and we were super anxious to get it put together. It went together easy, all parts were present and it looks wonderful in our bathroom. It is also built well. Before this we had an open white shelf which looked bad, now everything is organized in this cabinet and it is more pleasant to the eye when you enter the bathroom. The shelves are also pretty spacious and can hold anything from stacks of towels to hairspray and shampoo bottles. We feel like this was the perfect addition to our bathroom and are glad we made the purchase.

I had the professional assembly option. I just don’t have it in me to do this. The guys that did this were extremely personable, professional and respectful. They made it look like cake. They even dug my big Great Dane. After, they moved where I wanted and picked everything up. It’s in my bathroom and stores all my cleaning supplies for the house, 3 big boxes of cat chow, extra hand towels, soap, wipes and misc stuff. It’s nice looking. I’m 5’10 and it comes about just below my shoulders. Totally worth it.

PRO:-fairly easy to assemble, but requires 2 people.-fairly rigid once fully assembled.-assembly components should be familiar to anyone experience with IKEA furniture, these are nearly identical.-finish on the doors looks just great.-great fit for 4 shelves of wine/liquor bottles standing upright. use the middle shelf position for each shelf to achieve this. Almost seems designed for it.CON:-"engineered wood" basically means good grade laminated particleboard. This is the same grade as IKEA.-super strange "screws" for the back panel, which don't actually have threads. They have screwheads but, you can't thread them in because each 'thread goes in its own circle around the shaft of the 'screw'. I had to hammer them in instead. Turning the heads literally does nothing.-hinges are finicky. They're exactly the same type of mechanism you'd find on IKEA furniture, and require a good bit of manual adjustment to get the doors straight and even. But if you've adjusted these before you know how to do it, just takes some patience.-only 50 lbs per shelf, max. To put that into perspective, that means you can only put about 6 gallons of liquid on each shelf. The volume per shelf would fit easily double that, but, you'll damage it if you load it up. Be mindful.-hinges are fully un-damped, meaning you can't just bump the doors close. You need to gently close them or they will slam. This is uncommon in furniture within this price bracket. If it cost half as much, I'd be satisfied but at this price, I expect to have some kind of damper. I may have to install some myself.

Don't know what all the complaints about doors are. If one follows the company video on how to attach hinges, you will see 1. How easy it is to line doors up with no gap and 2. Just how sturdy and beautiful this cabinet is. Only thing needs those little soft round sticky tab-like door stoppers you place on corners of doors to limit slam effect.

This thing is a good, deep, easy to assemble cabinet. Worth a buy!There is a critical step that I can CLEARLY see most of the people with hinge/gap problems have screwed up. The directions do not make it clear.The the doors/hinges will not feel sturdy or line up correctly if you mess the one simple thing up.The larger, door-mounted hinges have a small adjustment screw in the middle...screw this in deep before you slide the doors on. The back of the screw has a groove that needs to catch the smaller, cabinet-mounted hinge.The screw comes mostly unscrewed, so the back screw on the cabinet-mounted hinge will catch, but the groove does not catch unless you screw it in further.This is why the doors do not line up on some and why there are negative reviews.

It serves it's purpose. It looks nice. No one but me notices the design flaw that the cabinets have a 1 inch gap between them, so you can see what's in the middle. Other than that, the cabinet looks really good and is a great storage solution. Assembly was really easy. The very end requires a second person and is slightly confusing. One problem I ran into was the back. They provided screw like nails instead of nails, so they didn't go in as instructed. A lot of them bent while trying to install and some broke. It's the backing, so those flaws are hidden. If you are about practicality (but also care a little about visual aesthetic), this is a nice cabinet for the price. I would buy it again. It's flaws will drive you nuts if you are a perfectionist or if you are like me and you notice flaws when you build it yourself.

While I would have liked a slightly larger cabinet, this was the best I could find for the price. I'm always hesitant to order furniture online, I was pleasantly surprised. In fact, my husband and I liked it well enough that we ended up buying a second one. Both arrived packaged well with all pieces intact and no damage. My husband, who is experienced putting together economy furniture like this, seemed to have no problems assembling them, other than fiddling with the doors to make sure they are aligned. They both look pretty good and are serving us well so far.
