Review on Elegant Home Fashion Cabinet 2 Door by Karen Gaiser

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful view. Bad design.

You look good on the internet and you are almost what you seem. I've assembled a lot of Ikea furniture so assembling isn't a problem as long as it's designed to fit and stay together. They have the same rack/camlock design as Ikea with wooden dowels to give it structure. But the holes for the dowels are drilled a good one or two mm larger in diameter than the dowels. In some places you can see that the holes were drilled and then re-drilled slightly offset, making them even larger. In all places dowels sat imprecisely in their holes. The camlocks weren't tight enough to hold the device together and over time it would just fall apart. In addition, the instructions do not specify some critical assembly points. It was an instant return.

Pros
  • pretty impressive
Cons
  • embarrassing
