It works even with minor flaws

Provides a good amount of storage space. This solved the situation in the corner of our living room with toys and books stacked on top of each other. It is packed with foam sheet between the parts and styrofoam inside and cardboard outside. Ours arrived safely. The instructions are printed in a large booklet and are easy to understand. A star is docked because the backrest consists of two parts of the same height, and the seam does not coincide with the horizontal shelf, which is not in the middle of the cabinet height. Instead, the seam is visible at the bottom of the case. Holes were also pre-drilled in the bottom of the case as it had two baffles at the top. So now 4 holes are visible. And I had to drill extra screws to screw the back to the middle shelf because they were missing and I needed 4 extra screws to attach the back there. Secure the rear end securely and only hand tighten with a screwdriver. It's easy to reverse the screws in the chipboard and then they won't hold the back panel securely and the cabinet will sway left and right because the back panel gives it stability. This wasn't a big problem for me as I have woodworking tools and screws of all kinds, but it might be a problem for other buyers. The other problem is they give you 4 stickers on the bottom, but the body is 35" long and made from 1/2" thick chipboard. This means it sags in the middle as it is unsupported. It would be nice to have 2 extra stickers for the middle part of the bottom shelf. In general, this only applies to children's toys, and it works, but some extra work may disappoint some buyers.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
