Shintenchi Kitchen Island Cart with Storage,Rolling Side Table on Wheels with Worktop,Single Door Cabinet and Drawer for Dinning Room, White

When I first bought this kitchen island cart, I was unsure if I could assemble it myself. However, after completing it, I felt very proud, and it wasn’t as hard as I expected. The instructions were very easy to follow. I made sure to separate all the screws to avoid confusion and assembled it step by step according to the manual.The only part that was a bit tricky was attaching the doors. The two doors didn’t line up perfectly at first, and one was tilted, so I had to redo it a couple of times. But once it was done, I was really pleased with the finished product. It doesn’t look cheap at all, and the design is sleek and neat, which I love.There’s plenty of space for storage in the drawers and bottom cabinets, and it feels very sturdy. I’m really happy with both the quality and design, and the fact that I assembled it all on my own just adds to the satisfaction!

My wife bought this for the spare bedroom for storage and it is a nice looking and sturdy piece of furniture.When you open the box, you find a lot of parts. It looks like it will take 2 or more hours to assemble.They pack extra hardware so you should have all parts.You need to supply your own Philips screwdriver. Use a real screwdriver with a comfortable handle. I wouldn't use a cordless drill because the pressboard is very soft and you can strip out the wood easily if you over tighten. Just hand tighten until you start to feel resistance then stop.Follow the instructions closely. Use the parts list and match the parts numbers to the plastic bags. Most of the hardware is common sense, but it doesn't hurt to make sure. Thumbs up to the person who wrote the instructions.Most of the parts fit perfectly and is easy to put together.The only tricky part are the door hinges. First, there are four screw holes on each hinge that attach to the cabinet, but there are only two holes in the cabinet for each hinge. You need to add a third screw on the side of the top hole (the second top hole on the hinge). You can just muscle in the screw into the cabinet or you can use the awl on your swiss army knife and start a small dimple to make things easier. That third screw does the trick. You can also add the fourth screw to make it more secure.The other tricky part about hinge are the two adjustment screws. You need to loosen them enough so you can adjust the door so that the door closes upright and straight, and then you want to tighten the adjustment screws so that they stay upright the straight. That's why some reviewers say that the doors close on themselves. It's because the adjustment screws are too loose so the doors droop towards each other and they close on each other.One of the doors scrape on the cabinet when closing the chemical smell is pretty strong. Wipe the inside and let it air out if it bothers you. These are minor problems in my opinion.It took me about 90 minutes to assemble.

This island/cabinet is a good piece for a reasonable price. It's convenient that it rolls, and the casters are fine. It's not super cheaply constructed, so I wouldn't call it flimsy. But I would like it to be a bit sturdier. There's sa bit too much side-to-side motion when you roll it around. The cam locks just don't create enough stability, so I took off one star.The assembly is fine, about what you would expect if you're used to putting together furniture. There are no words, and the pictures can be overwhelming if you're new to this type of assembly. It is a big plus that the slides are already on the side of the drawer, so you don't have to worry about aliging them, and it is a big plus that the door hinges are pre-assembled. Those parts were easier than anticipated. One screw was stripped, but they include some extras, which is handy. For one section, there were no pre-drilled holes for the screws, but it seemed as if those were actually ones that I could skip, so I did. Drilling into the particle board seemed too risky!

I’m really happy with my small kitchen storage/cabinet. I have it in my laundry room. It’s just perfect for a small space and good enough to store stuffs you’re don’t use on a daily basis. It’s pretty sturdy and handy. Very useful.

I'm a decrepit old woman and was able to put this together easily with only one problem. When attaching the doors, I discovered that two of the necessary screw holes were not drilled. In either of the doors. Since I don't own an electric screw driver, I hammered a small nail part way in to start the hole. Then, I muscled the screw in. It was awkward and not fun, but I got it done. A suggestion for added strength you might like to try, after I finished the assembly, I applied a thick coat of extra strength wood glue to all the inside joint lines. I laid it down to do the vertical sides and allowed it to dry for 24 hours before standing it back up. Since the drawer bottom is a thin slat that is only held in place by sliding into grooves, I knew from past experience that it would not hold much weight. So, I glued along every bottom joint line, both on the inside and outside. I also let it dry 24 hours after doing the outside bottom before turning it over to do the inside. I did the inside corners as well. I'm happy to report that my drawer now holds all my cutlery, silverware, and kitchen doodads with no problems. I did buy dividers to keep it all neat. It looks great and I can find what I need easily.I love my little cabinet so much, I'm thinking of getting another. So, yes I recommend buying this.
