Looks good but is quite thin

My husband bought this for me for Christmas. I've been watching sidebars for a long time. It took him about 3 hours to assemble the cabinet (he is very handy and very meticulous in assembling). After putting it together, we found that one of the rods used to hang files was broken at one end. It has enough lips to go edge to edge, but I don't think it's durable enough to take the time to organize and hang files. It makes my bottom drawer useless. I could use the bottom drawer to store stationery or an extra blanket, but the faux wood at the bottom of the drawers is EXTREMELY thin and brittle and I wouldn't recommend putting anything on the bottom. There is also a large gap at the top of the bottom drawer that is larger than the gap in the top drawer. Remember I said my husband is meticulous and it drives him crazy but nothing can be done or changed. Overall the cabinet looks good but I gave it 3 stars for a weak bottom, uneven door faces and one broken part. I'm not asking him to take the thing apart and return it over 1 bar. Now that we've spent the money on the closet, I need to find a replacement for the broken one. .

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
