Sauder Edge Water Accent Storage Cabinet with Doors, Utility Cabinet, in Chalked Chestnut finish

I was looking for a cart/stand to place my microwave on but wanted it to look more like a piece of furniture. This was perfect and the price was even better! My husband and I put it together in about an hour. It arrived in perfect condition, no missing parts, no flaws, and the directions were easy to follow. We sort the small parts out in muffin tins before we begin. There are typically a few extras they supply but generally if you 've put it together right there shouldn't be more than 1-3 pieces of hardware left over. We had to do some tweaking to adjust the doors but that is to be expected. The directions were very clear. The only additional thing I had to do was run a black marker down the exposed edge of the back panel otherwise you could see the 1/8" raw edge from the side. The drawer had extra support so it won't bow if you put anything but light weight objects in it. Also there is an adjustable shelf behind the doors. Perfect for containers, cookbooks, baskets, etc. We have purchased many Sauder products before (TV stand, book shelves, computer desk, entertainment center) and have always been please with the quality for the price. If you're expecting high quality this isn't it. If you're looking for function and durability at a reasonable price look for Sauder. I have some Sauder pieces that are more than 10 years old, still look great and function as intended.

I bought this stand to be a printer stand because I wanted one without rollers on the bottom. I liked the way it looked, and I didn't see any red flags on assembly. It came quickly (heavy box) and when I got it in the house and took it apart, I was intimidated by the number of parts and long instructions. I'm a 64 year old female who doesn't have any skills in this area. BUT, while it took me a long time (several hours), the directions were OUTSTANDING - easy to follow, complete and thorough! All the parts were perfectly labeled and the hardware came in a handy labeled pouch with separate cells for each part. Not only that, but less expensive furniture often goes together poorly - grooves don't fit, holes don't line up. None of that was true with this piece! it looks great and feels far more solid than I expected. Nice rolling drawer, big storage space inside and great quality for the price! Super happy and I'm a tough critic.

My order arrived without damage, but missing a couple of screws. The start and finish of the assembly was simple, but I got stuck in the middle because I was putting it together by myself and it constantly flexed/wobbled. The cabinet only became reasonably solid when I nailed on the cardboard backing and retightened the cams. It was also tricky to get the rails on the drawer to slide together. Make sure you have the drawer tilted dow ward and pressure it behind the cabinet rails. Also crucial to make sure you have all 4 rails in the correct position. I am using my cabinet for a small coffee bar. It looks expensive and holds a lot of items without taking up too much space. This is the 4th Saunder item I have put together and the instructions are good and all the tools you need are insluded. The quality is quite good for this type of MDF furniture.

This is a great looking cabinet that goes together fairly easily and its very sturdy when you're done. It seems some people chose not to read the instructions completely and therefore run into issues that may scare others away from this cabinet. That is not fair for the seller because, honestly, this is one of the best pieces of furniture I have purchased and it came with very thorough, and easy to follow directions. Addressing 1 star reviews: I saw 1 star reviews complaining about how hard it was to put together and that one woman's husband (who happened to be a carpenter) couldn't figure it out and gave up. This is incredibly hard to believe as the included instructions are among the best I've ever seen with a piece of furniture. I completed it in about 1.5 hours and am not very handy around the house. I saw another one star with a video that shows the cabinet wobbling while sitting upright and completely unstable. This is because they put on the top shelf, but DID NOT tighten the hidden screws as instructed. I experienced the same wobble and at first thought it would be completely unusable, then I read the next step and tightened the hidden screw assembly things. (don't remember what they're called) After tightening those hidden screws, the cabinet was completely sturdy and had ZERO WOBBLE.

No, this is not a piece of heirloom Chippendale furniture but for someone watching their dollars and wanting a cabinet of this size and configuration this particular product is a high value purchase. I've bought assemble-it-yourself engineered wood products in the past and I don't think you could do much better than this dollar for dollar. The item arrived packaged extremely well and it would take a drop off a two story building to damage the product inside. Internally all bits and pieces were well braced and unblemished. Each item in the box is marked with a unique number and the small hardware is blister packed in marked segments for easy identification. Definitely better than for other products I've purchased. I laid out all the parts and using just a screwdriver and a small hammer (no glue!) I followed the clear and well illustrated step-by-step instructions slowly and carefully. It came together readily in no more than an hour and all parts fit and secured as intended without issue or missing hardware. Hinges worked and aligned as intended and drawer pull slide feels better than anticipated. The cabinet ended up in a small office where space is at a premium and I needed a something with suitable height and sufficient depth to support a mini-fridge (not much out there does). The storage was a bonus. This cabinet, as compared to comparable products, is solid, does the job, provides added storage flexibility, and looks good to boot. Again, a lot of bang for your buck.

Great furniture

The cabinet is decent. It looks nice in the corner of my dining room but it was a nightmare setting up. The process went great up until we attempted to get the drawer put together. It does not screw or attach effectively the front cover to the sides. I had to use glue to get it to stay together so every time I shut the drawer the front panel doesn’t fall off. Also the hinges getting the drawer to slide in and out easily took nearly 30 minutes to figure out. I imagined we looked like a bunch of three olds trying to put square blocks in the triangle cut out shape cause it was just not fitting properly. Eventually my husband finally got it to slide in right but it should not have been this complicating. Do your research there might be better products available out there. I recommend if your looking for a high quality piece of furniture just go to a furniture store.

As other folks have expressed, I too am baffled by the negative reviews! This cabinet is made of particle board, if you are looking for solid wood prepare to look elsewhere and pay much more. Or you may get lucky at a yard sale, estate sale or antique store. This piece fits right in with our 6 Sauder bookcases and more high end wood furniture. The backing is cardboard but who cares, it's up against the wall. If I didn't know better I wouldn't necessarily assume the rest is made of particle board... looks a bit higher end. The (faux?) oil rubbed bronze fixtures take it up a notch, I can't stress this enough. It took about 2 hours for my husband and I to assemble (we're both novices). This may seem obvious but take the extra 15 minutes before assembly to lay out the parts and divide up the screws, clamps, etc... you will thank yourself later! We use this cabinet in our home library/office, office supplies in the top drawer. We opted to hang the interior shelf a bit high but with enough room for 3 narrow/deep baskets to hold misc electronics (ipods, Nook) and chargers. Below the shelf we stood up all our expanding files full of important documents. I could also see using this cabinet as a perfect place to store kid's crafts/art supplies (but not toys), in a bathroom, or bedroom to store linens. Please note this is NOT meant to be a TV stand, you might be ok if it was a small TV... maybe in a kid's room. I wouldn't use this as a night stand, too big. Take a close look at the picture. The top shelf is meant to extend further up against the wall, probably so your electrical cords won't be crushed should you choose to put a printer on top. This was a relief as we thought we put the top on backwards!

Arrived on time, well packaged. Assembly instructions are clear and concise, and the end result is a pretty solid, functional unit. This is not a high end piece of furniture (mostly chipboard and plastic film), but it's well designed, decent hardware, and imo decent value for the price.

Beautiful and well crafted (for the price) We are using it as a microwave stand and I like the easy pull out drawer and cupboard with shelf in bottom. You have to build it took hubby about 1 hour to build and said very good instructions for a change.

Suited my needs for a new piece for our newly painted master bathroom. I put it together - thought I would never finish but I got it done!! A little cheaply made but good for what we need.

Beautiful cabinet! Aside from it being quite beautiful it is very sturdy. I am very pleased and would recommend it.

Loved it. Materials were very good. Directions were easy to understand. It looks fantastic! Worth the money I paid for it.
