Revainrating 5 out of 5

Building a beautiful closet is a nightmare.

Bought for my son (recently obsessed with vinyl records). It took me a good 4.5 hours to assemble (at a leisurely pace. I could probably cut that time in half if I just concentrated on building and nothing else). Let me just say I HATE cam locks. They are made of cheap, porous metal and can break if not cared for. I assembled dozens of pieces of furniture with these cameras. They're cast cheaply and quickly, which can result in the cams having defects (burrs that interfere with locking), or they aren't fully cast so the cams are more rounded in areas and the cams don't jam. . I have assembled a magnificent table from these chambers. I love this table, but every three to four weeks I have to get under the table with a flashlight - open one of the drawers and reach into the corner with a screwdriver to retighten a cam that comes loose on its own. . If I don't tighten it (more than half a turn - the cam bolt is almost completely out of the cam) the whole box section sags in the middle. It will break eventually, but I've managed to remind myself to pull it up every month for the past 6 years. Aside from the cams and the occasional cam bolts that split the cheap pressed sheet material during assembly (hidden/invisible when finished - that helps) and the metal wires holding the records (also not fully formed - so they pop out/don't pop out). stay in some holes where they are inserted - or - they are melted at the ends / poorly cured) is enough for these to be big drops that don't fit in the holes they are supposed to go in) I'm happy with that the purchase (about 135.00 including VAT). A little more R&D at the factory and this could be the perfect thing. I still give it 5 stars as it's a really nice design and looks amazing when finished.

Pros
  • Excellent overall quality
Cons
  • No paint required
