I now have three of these units with two more on the way. Granted, the "toughness" factor is very, very low. But for my purposes these units fit the bill. The first one was a little tricky to assemble but I now have it down. Also, obtaining replacement parts was quite easy and straightforward. On the second assembly I messed up on a door. But replacement parts were shipped without additional cost. I do have a complaint about Home Depot. Their web site is screwed up. It says that these can be shipped to a local store but one cannot make that happen. I am forced to have them shipped directly to my house thereby incurring the extra shipping charges. Home Depot really needs to get that glitch fixed. Even the Home Depot employee I spoke with at the store acknowledged this glitch.

Screws come out of doors, wheels fall off drawer, very flimsy plastic. Not worth putting product together for use.

I should had read the reviews before purchasing this product
This product is easy to assemble but the quality is very poor. I thought it was going to be as other plastic products I had purchased. When opening the drawer or doors move the entire closet since is unstable.

It was Junk !!!
I have assembled hundreds of knock downs but this had such poor constructions that "inward" should have been used insstead of "outward". Then screws were missing and one shelf was flashed and unusable. Then when set up and shimmed yo level the drawer refused to close. However, replacement parts were sent very quickly. No, I would never but from this supplier again. They also make the Ketter foldable work table which is superb but cabinet is a different story.

Easy to assemble. Seems sturdy. Good Value
My husband was able to put this cabinet together in less than an hour. It is exactly what we needed to hold our pool chemicals out of the way of our granddaughter. We were able to put the normal cabinet baby lock on it to keep her out.

Very poor qualify
This is cabinet didn't last a month. The sides and shelves are not sturdy enough to support much weight at all. The bottom shelf sags so bad the bottom drawer won't close, and there is not much on that shelf besides a couple boxes of cereal. Do NOT buy this product. Worst purchase we have ever made at Home Depot.

not very sturdy, hard to put together
Hard to put together. Flashing interferes with slots and tabs that must fit together. Have to trim many pieces with a knife before they can be joined. Needs two people to assemble larger parts - especially when fitting top and doors. Somewhat flimsy, doors don't stay shut when gusts of wind blow into garage.
I have bought six similar cabinets for my garage over several years. Each time they have changed the design so now nothing matches. The design changes were not an improvement.

This product looks great
Looks nice but a bit flimsy. The shelves cannot take a lot of weight. 3 shelves instead of 2 would have been better

Would not have been happy to pay full price
Well, I wish I would have seen these reviews before I purchased this, but I saw it on clearance for $42 and I thought that it was a great deal in the store and bought it. As I unpacked the box, which was not damaged, there were 2 pieces that were cracked and broken. Right away you could tell it was very cheaply made plastic. As I continued to dig through the box for the instructions, I found that there were none. So I got my computer out, as I figured I would likely be able to find them online, and I easily did. But I also found the poor reviews and became very disappointed as I already had 2 cracked pieces in my box, outlook wasn't good! Luckily, since I had also purchased 2 different shelving units, by the same brand, that had replacement parts information included in them, I was able to go online and easily request replacement for my damaged parts. They were sent promptly, I ordered on a Saturday and received them by Tuesday. As I continued to put the unit together as best I could without the damaged parts I had 2 additional pieces crack as I assembled the unit. After I having read the reviews already online, I was very careful putting it together from reading other reviews. The only reason I chose to keep it and not return it is solely due to the price, I got it on clearance for $42 and figured for that price I could glue my cracks and make do as it is just for storage in my garage. If I was going to use it for anything other than greasy parts and paint cans that would junk it up anyways I wouldn't have kept it.

Looks good
It makes keeping the garage clean easier. The wheels on the drawer do not make it easy to close. It shakes the cabinet and knocks over items stored on the shelves. Once I organized the parts into groups, it was easier to find the right parts to snap together. The only screws were for the handles. Shelves could be sturdier if they had screws holding them tight.

Not well made
The product came out of the factory box with the plastic cracked off of several corners and no printed instructions in the box. Seems pretty flimsy but have yet to see if it will hold up to any real use. I am disappointed that Home Depot, which usually has good quality products, is carrying this product. Especially inPuerto Rico

junk
Please save yourself the time and hassle.. This cabinet is a hunk of junk.. It is made of cheap plastic. I put two pieces together and the plastic circle it was suppose to fit into split. I returned the product. I guess most of the reviews for this product were correct. It amazes me that large companies continue to produce poor quality products and people continue to buy them. I will build my own storage cabinet now. I was trying to save time today and in the end I made two trips to Home Depot that wasted my valuable time and made me angry..

Terrible Terrible product!!!
This thing is a piece of junk, don't waste your time. This product is flimsy light weight garbage.. We put it together and as i put jars from canning on the shelves they started bowing and they were only half full. The drawer below won't close, especially if you put something in it.. Just an overall HUGE disappointment..

Works for Us
We had read all of the previous reviews and decided to purchase this cabinet anyway. We needed something to use in our unheated/uncooled sunroom to store pool towels, sunscreens and pool testing supplies. My husband assembled it himself - no missing parts, no damaged parts. It went together fairly easily. We heeded the review advice to not force anything! I am using the drawer to store our kids' and grandkids' bathing suits that they leave here. This cabinet seems to meet our needs for light-duty storage.

Very cheaply made. Returned it.
Had home depot put it together for me. It was so cheaply made the cabinet was falling apart before we even got it set up on the deck. Returned it the next day. I also bought the matching drawers with it. They are also cheaply made. Don't roll out good. Should have taken them back also. Great idea for a cabinet need some more engineering for quality.

Absolute Junk
This cabinet cannot be assembled! Any attempt will result in pieces cracking and breaking. The concept is good with the drawer at the bottom. The real shame is that this piece of junk is made in America. I would not expect something this bad from China. At least HD took it back for a full refund.

Waste of resources, plastic, shipping, time etc.
Bought it for my son that lives in another state, he needed a little extra storage. When he received it he recognized it and told me that he has the unfortunate experience of assembling this cabinet a few times for other people. This one was no different. Most of it went together with only moderate pain but the doors had not been molded correctly and are broken. It reminds me of the lousy made in Hong Kong plastic toys that used to be dispensed from gumball machines.

Nice design idea, poor quality of material.
I like the concept of the design, but the plastic material is sooooo thin. The hinges to not snap together for the door to work properly and the drawer is frustratingly difficult to operate when assembled. I don't recommend that you buy this

You get what you pay for
I myself am a contractor too. I also have one injured arm and i was able to put this together without breaking anything or cracking it. the parts were there but the back side was molded backwards i think but it was still stable enough to hold around 150lbs+ of merchandise. let it hit room temp then calmly put it together.... it does what its supposed to: hold stuff.

Broken Pieces
My husband put together this morning and one of the doors was broken right out of the box. Took it apart and put it back in the box and returned it. Just like other reviews said, thin plastic, not sturdy and breaks easily. Not the kind of thing you want for long term extra storage. Should be priced for half of what it is.

OK FOR LIGHT WEIGHT STORAGE
The assembly of this unit takes some TLC. DO NOT force any component together, or use a hammer :O(
I use this on my covered patio to store grill covers (in the drawer), grill utensils, fire ant killer, insect killer and my STEREO receiver (I cut small holes in the back for wiring). It works great and keeps dust and debris at bay. Just don't overload the shelves, after all it is probably made of recycled materials, but it is made in the USA ! ! !

Most of what I was looking for
I have books. Lots and lots of books. And, because of living circumstances, needed a means of storing them in a way in which they would not get wet. Hence the need for this bookshelf.
It arrived via UPS five days after ordering, though I had thought it would be delivered from the local store only 1-2 days after ordering. It was easily assembled, taking only about one hour (I am EXTREMELY mechanically inclined, though, so it might take longer for someone less so). The bookshelf does a good job storing what I needed. I wish the shelves had more height flexibility, and the unit seems a bit overpriced for what it is. It feels like a price point of $60-80 would provide a higher bang to buck ratio, but the free shipping was included. I could have bought this at the local store, but I have an incredibly small car, and could not have gotten this home. All in all, a good purchase, and I'm contemplating acquiring another, just wish I could catch it on sale before I do.

All in All it serves it purpose and I'm happy
The product showed up on time but some pcs were cracked. I decided to accept that and build. It was easy to put together.
