A nice looking cabinet but its real wood construction is challenging ! I bought this cabinet 100 percent because it wasn’t made from particle board. A buyer should be aware all self-assembled pine furniture comes with the drawback that it will warp in the direction of the wood grain and also cup at 90-degrees to the wood grain. This means that unlike particle construction, all real wood furniture should be glued+clamped together as much as possible to minimize warpage. My recommendation is to only buy this cabinet if you have some basic carpentry tools. To maximum the quality of the final assembled unit; you should have a table saw, 2x 36” long bar clamps, 2x 12” long bar clamps, 2x 12” long pieces of 2x4 lumber, a few 3”x3” pieces of plywood, a drill with 3/64” bit and #4x3/4” wood screws, chalking gun with a tube of polyurethane construction adhesive. Also have a whole roll of paper towels and a scrapper/plastic razor knife to remove-wipe off any excess glue that squeezes out of the joints. These are major drawbacks-shortcomings that I experienced that other buyers should be aware before buying this cabinet. (1) The 13” long drawers slide on a somewhat flimsy and too short 7” long nylon guide that fits into a groove cut into the outside surface of the left and right drawer side panels. The drawers twist about 5 degrees left and right inside the cabinet so the drawers bind easily. (2) The plastic to wood sliding action of the drawer guides experience a lot of friction. If you put more than 1lb of contents into a drawer then opening the drawer can cause the whole cabinet to roll forwards on its casters. (3) The unit I bought had a top panel that cupped about ¼ inch upward and the right side panel cupped 3/16” inwards. (4) The drawer sides and back panels come in raw unfinished pine wood. (could stain the 18 pieces) (5) The draw bottoms and cabinet back panels are all made of a 1/8” thick unfinished (smooth on one side-rough on the other side) paper fiber board. (could replace with 3/16” thick plywood underlay if you have a table saw) (6) The grooves cut into the inside surface of the left and right drawer side panels are wider than the bottom panel and narrower than the master 3/16 inch wide groove cut into the back side of the drawer front. Since all the groove widths are wider than the thickness of the bottom panels the drawer bottom has sloppy fit. (could cut top edge of side panel grooves to match the final 3/16” width of the front panel’s groove if you have a table saw) (7) The directions to nail the drawer bottom panel to the drawer rear panel while trying to assemble it squarely is very hard. (could drill 3/32” holes into bottom panel’s edge before assembly / to hold everything together tightly use two 12” clamps across the drawer sides with two 36” clamps with 2x4 pieces on the front-to-back before screwing the drawer side panels to the from and rear drawer panels)
