I had a job back in college at a small furniture store, where I spent a lot of my down time putting together come/in/a/box furniture. I put together so many of these, I actual learned to enjoyed this normally daunting task. I also came across more than my share of head scratchers, manufacturer mistakes, simply poor instructions.
Based on my experience, I would highly recommend this cabinet and this manufacturer. The wood was thick, well made and very smooth. I found no damage, dings or dents on any of the pieces. It came complete, the instructions were easy to understand and it took less than an hour to put together. And I really appreciated that all the pieces came individually separated and labeled!
I was also surprised to find a bit more storage inside than I expected. And I think it looks as nice as it was in the manufacturers pictures. The current measurements are listed correctly, at the time of this review.
There are two things I dont love about it. First, I wish there was a second shelf. And second, this unit is incredibly front heavy! Anytime you buy ready to assemble furniture with doors, its going to be heavier on that one side. Because of this, this corner shelf MUST be secured to a wall for security reasons. Our cats knocked it over twice in the first hour we had it assembled. Please dont think because it is small, it isnt heavy enough to injure a child or animal.
