Review on 📺 32-inch Light Golden Brown SIMPLIHOME Bedford Storage Media Cabinet by Rick Everett

Rated four stars because it looks very nice once assembled (five stars) but assembly was a problem (two stars). Some report no problems assembling the device. I wish it was like that for me. There were minor annoyances like a sticker on each glass blocked by a wooden board (tip: heat one side with a hair dryer to soften the glue and then peel it off the glass, repeat on the other side and then heat the part due covered by glass from the floorboard - then you can pull the sticker out from behind the bar, leaving only the nominal layer of adhesive); a big annoying sticker inside the case (again, a hair dryer helps), as well as "extra" holes for shelf stands that don't have matching holes on the opposite side, among other things. But what really gave me a headache was the pilot holes (not pilot holes, more like notches in the fairing) that marked where the hinge screws should be installed, as well as those for the magnetic "latches" a bit removed from where they were should have been. This probably doesn't apply to most devices, but it was absolutely true for the one I bought. I installed the hinge screws in the exact locations specified by the manufacturer, but the doors didn't work. The process actually scratched the cabinet a bit. Since the block is the softest wood I've ever come across, and since the lettering error was negligible, I realized that simply removing the doors and reattaching them in the right places would almost certainly result in the screws that hold the door hinges would fail hinges. Cabinet. To solve this problem, I drilled (don't drill through) holes in each location previously marked by the manufacturer and glued dowels in each hole. Once the glue was dry I cut the dowels flush to the side of the cabinet (use a flush saw or you'll ruin the finish) and then reinstalled the doors. The dowels compensated for the soft wood and previous holes, allowing me to reinstall the hinges in the correct place. I used some dark varnish to coat the pins (not necessary as they were covered with hinges) and to remove the scuffs from the assembly process. The doors now work perfectly and I suspect they will continue to do so. The cabinet looks really great when assembled and while building the unit wasn't a nightmare it was more difficult than it should have been. It is clear that all the reviews say that the installation is easy, the problems I have encountered are not universal. But there are many reviewers who said it was a little tricky to set up, so keep that in mind. I have experience assembling these "kits" (although not exactly this unit or units from this manufacturer) and I have quite a bit of experience with wood, but it was still a problem for me because I think it was just careless . Quality control of my device. Overall, I'm glad I bought this device. The process was a little painful but looks very nice and meets my needs (keeping towels in the bathroom).
