Sauder Shoal Creek Elise Display Cabinet, Moody Blue finish

This exceeded my expectations. The product arrived with a big dent in the box from shipping. I held my breath and opened it... It was packed so well that everything inside was intact! This is a study piece of furniture. It is not a cheap fiber board piece. It is a heavy, and well made cabinet. The color and finish is beautiful. I assembled it myself with just a screw driver. The directions were easy to follow. I recommend without reservations!!! Love it.

The reviews I read helped make my decision to purchase and were true to their word. The color is exactly as shown -- and I love it. The assembly wasn't complicated, but, yes, is time consuming. I put two together in just under three hours. After reading about the difficulty in attaching the doors, I decided to use the styrofoam packaging, making a rest for the door as I assembled (photo attached). That made it so much easier -- the styrofoam allows the cushion you need to adjust for the height and easily slips out when you're completely connected. I'm really pleased with the final products and recommend.

Highly recommend this cabinet. Affordable and beautiful results. Great value, sturdy, and looks great!

I bought this 4 months ago and waited to write a review to see how it would hold up. This is a great product for the price. It is sturdy, and I haven't had any problems with it...even with a toddler who likes to throw things at it sometimes.Also, the product photo is spot-on. The display cabinet turned out to look just about as identical as you can get.It is mainly a decorative piece, and the doors aren't opened and closed a lot. If it was used often, referencing the doors, then I might have issues because the magnets that keep the doors closed at cheaply made. The magnetic doors are the only cons I have found in 4 months; but like I said, it's not an issue for the display purpose in my home.I agree with the others who have reviewed this product about the directions for putting it together. It was a hassle and the most confusing part was putting the doors on. It took me over an hour because the directions were not as clear as they could have been which is why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5.However, I would not let the misleading and laborious directions cause you not to purchase this product. The end result is worth it and it looks nice.

Arrived well packages, all hardware included. Beautiful color. Solid construction. I put it together by myself in about 90 minutes. Hinges are tricky, nothing that a little imagination and adequate planning cannot overcome. Wishing they had matching night stands in this color!

I just love my bookcase my son put it together for me and said it was fairly easy to assemble,I think the price was good but most of all it looks fantastic and it’s pretty roomie for your books and I love the color

I consider myself fairly handy and have assembled plenty of pieces of inexpensive furniture over the years...this cabinet is a beast to assemble once you get to the doors! Having read through the reviews, at least I'm not alone in my utter frustration.I put the cabinet itself together with relative ease, despite the ridiculously bad instructions. And when I say bad, I mean almost useless.Some advice on the cabinet portion- look at the photos in the manual CAREFULLY, and tighten the cam screws fully while leaving the standard screws just a tad loose (trust me, you'll need to adjust those screws later in order to get everything to line up better).However, when it came time to attach the doors, I didn't know whether to cry or chuck the thing into the yard. Let it be said that the hinges are probably the least intuitive hardware I've ever encountered. Seriously.I'm embarrassed to say that I literally attached those hellish doors wrong at least five times. Yes, they beat me and beat me good.All I can tell you is that the hinges need to basically go on in a way that seemed upside down, inside out, and backwards. In other words, if they look completely wrong, you've probably nailed the enigma that is this blasted hardware. Also, don't try to get clever and mount those demons onto the doors first (as I, in my desperate quest to figure them out, did). You will not win, and you may strip the crappy screws, enlarge the even crappier predrilled holes, and end up in the fetal position, weeping and cursing the furniture gods.Once the dang thing is together, tighten all those dumb screws. You'll most likely notice that the doors don't line up (inevitably, based on most of the reviews and my own experience), the magnetic closures aren't sufficient, the entire thing is wobbly, and you've just lost hours of your life that you can't get back. The good news? Once you screw in the back pieces (more ridiculous and teensy screws, yay!), the cabinet becomes more sturdy. A note on this- do yourself a favor and use heavier wood screws, at least in the corners. To fix the magnetic closures issue, either buy real ones at the hardware store and drill new holes to affix them, or use the 12 pound- rated Command strips if you're looking for a quick fix. While you're there, you may as well pick up some felt stick-on furniture circles, in case the cabinet legs are uneven.All in all, the cabinet is fine as a light duty piece of furniture, which is what we needed. I definitely don't recommend getting this if you are looking to store anything heavy (books, stereo equipment, as a TV stand, etc.). It's fine as an accent piece, or for light storage, little more.

This is a great product. The buffet is sturdy, beautiful finish, and all around good value for your money. The only thing is I would read the instructions about the doors before assembly, they are easy as long as you do that.
