Review on ClosetMaid 8991 Stackable 1-Door Organizer, Espresso by Maria Gonzalez

Horrible flimsy material. And the company already knows it because before you start it advises you to "assemble somewhere soft and by hand, don't use power tools", not because it's in any way easy to do this with the holes they've barely carved out but because that's gonna cause the TERRIBLE WOOD TO FALL APART. It's Made of wood mulch that crumbles if you look at it sideways. Got splinters just from handling the unfinished sides. Immediately upon taking it out of the box the "finish" (i.e. Cheap plastic coating) was chipped and flaking away on almost every single piece. It looks like something I've already had for years or found in the garbage.The directions have zero relevant text, just little pictures. which would be fine, except you have screws of slightly varying sizes that all look the same when you doodle them on paper and God forbid you get one wrong, it's gonna go right through the wood mulch and chip away even more of the terrible flaky coating on the outside. Not to mention they claim stuff is labled with letters. It's not. Half of it is. The rest I literally had to just guess by the number of holes it had in the pictures.It also has pictures of it in different stages it forgot to tell you about in different directions, like oh by the way here's half of it magically done in step 2. But then they part disappears again in step 3. It also doesn't tell you which side is up on the panels and you'll have to just hope you get lucky by the time you get to the step where it's necessary. Oh, and make sure you have glue handy to glue half of it together. They make you hammer in the cardboard backing with 2 dozen tiny screws because reasons, but they make you glue on the dowels that hold half of it together. What kind of glue you ask? Dunno. It just says glue. I used gorilla glue cause that's all I had handy. So now let me go ahead and get a band aid for my bleeding hand from handling splintered wood mulch. I'll have to finish the thing tomorrow anyway cause I have to wait for my gorilla glue to cure where I had to glue crumbling bits back on. If I want so desperate for a storage unit of some kind I'd return it. What garbage.
