Customer Reviews for Heartland Cabinetry Heartland Ready to Assemble 18x34.5x24.25 in. Base Cabinet with 3 Drawers in White

I bought these for the garage. They will not get the degree of use that a kitchen cabinet will. Assembly was straightforward. Fore the most part, all the holes lined up with little or no swearing. The key to putting these together is NOT to over tighten the screws as they will break the particle board even on the lowest torque setting on a electric drill/screwdriver. Hand drive the screws. I used a high quality wood glue versus the white glue provide with the cabinets. The bottom of the drawers are flimsy, so I reinforced with 1/4" plywood glued with a good adhesive. The finish on the drawers is good.

This is a solid, easy to assemble cabinet. It uses 1x4 boards made of pressboard to frame the inside of the cabinet, not cheap plastic braces. Everything is made of pressboard except the drawer fronts. If it was all wood the price would have been much more so I don't mind. The white laminate/foil used as a cover seems pretty durable. Easy to clean and tough to dent. Some of the walls were slightly off which required some sanding to level out. My wife likes the front drawer panels because they have a nice design, nothing fancy but not flat either. I was leaning towards the bare wood cabinets but I am glad I got these instead since they were already finished and it saved me days of extra work. Drawers have metal slides. The many holes aligned perfectly every time.

Fairly easy to put together. Drawer slides well.

Nice looking and drawers are large and smooth working. The only complaint I would have is that the base of the drawers seem a bit lightwieight. Time will tell.

I am not totally satisfied with this product after assembling it. I could have paid a little more for a cabinet that the drawers faces lined up. This cabinet assembled fairly easily, but the drawer faces do NOT line up with the cabinet and with each other. I will have to elongate the holes in the drawer from on 2 of the drawers to be able to move and adjust the faces to the cabinet and the other drawer faces. I will say I would cautiously recommend this product and only if the person purchasing it can do the adjusting that needs to be done to get it to look good. This company needs to tweak their manufacturing equipment to ensure this product is correctly lining up when assembled or manufacture it so there can be adjustments made to the drawer fronts for aligning.

The draw holes where off and it made it sit slanted. Some of the hole for the railed where also off. I bought six of these a month before and five cabinets.... all with the same problems!! They look great in my craft room.

Cut it UP so it would work with my bathroom cabinets to tall and to long. Used the cut offs as a drill guide used only the to big drawers but only 3 screws left for the 3rd drawer glad I didn't need it. It match my old white cabinets good

If you are using this product for a garage it will be fine. For inside the home do not buy. Drawers are unlevel, screw holes drilled uneven for drawers. It is fine for a garage but do not purchase for home if putting in a kitchen and you want it to look professional. It will not.

I bought 3 cabinets to go with my kitchen because they were close enough to match and replaced hollow area when I changed my counter top. They were easy to assemble (a friend and I did them in a few hours) with no hitches. Since I got them on sale and they work well, I am very pleased. I used one without the shelf and added a two trash can system. It is great. I must say I was leary after reading some negative reviews but did not have any problems, damage, or missing or misaligned parts.The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that I have not used them very long and don't know how they will hold up.

I received two of these cabinets and the drawers do not line up straight. The problem is, you can't even modify it because I need one side of the drawers to be lowered, but only about a quarter inch. The pre drilled holes will stop me from making my own holes. There are also obvious gaps between the drawers that look awful. And it's not designed that way. The bottom drawer leaves no space between the middle drawer, but the middle drawer and the top drawer hav at leas a 3/8" gap. The people at the factory need to take their time lining up the pre-drilled holes.

I didn't have any of the difficulties some of the other reviewers had. Yes, it's all particle board, and the back is a piece of cardboard. But if you follow the directions, and hand tighten most of the screws and cam locks, it turns out to be a pretty sturdy and attractive cabinet. All the pre-drilled holes lined up exactly where they were supposed to be, and everything fit together nicely. I'm using a couple of them to make a desk.

I knew what I was purchasing wasn't going to be a quality item, so I got what I expected. But it still amazes me the level that poor quality can sink to especially in this day and age - with the technology available in manufacturing. Expect that you will have screws that will slip through holes on the drawer glides, so be prepared with the right size drill bit handy because you will need it to drill new holes using some of the smaller holes on the glides. It is fascinating that neither the screws nor the holes in the glides are ever the same size twice. Don't use a power screwdriver when assembling because you will most likely strip out what little bite the particle board has to offer. The alignment of the pieces when assembled is also something to be aware of. They are also somewhat fragile - the particle board is pretty easy to break. I am using these cabinets for an art studio so I really didn't care to get the best quality, but it does still amaze me. The pros are that I had enough of the hardware to do the job, and a few extras. They do appear to be somewhat solid after finishing, so I figure that they'll serve my purposes just fine. I would never use these in a kitchen or bathroom, or any place where they would be seen or used regularly.

Home Depot quality reaches a new low. Drawers not full size, missing four to five inches in rear thus making them to short . Holes drilled in the wrong place. Drawer floors are very flimsy won't hole much weight.

Very cheaply made. Some parts were broken. Spend alittle more and buy already assembled...wish I had.

I bought these on line so I did not get a chance to see them up close. If I had I would not of bought them. First, they do not include knobs or handles for the doors, drawers. Assembly is very time consuming. If you are considering these, I would say keep looking.

Tracks for the drawers did not line up properly causing the drawers to be crooked when I put them in. I had to take off the tracks, re-align them myself, and screw them back into the sides of the cabinet. This cabinet was also not as easy to assemble as I thought. I guess you get what you pay for. It was still better than paying the $300 that IKEA wanted for something similar.

I had to fill the pre-drilled holes and re-drill some of them to get the drawer fronts to match up

I've built quite a few ready-to-assemble things in the past and this was by far the worst in terms of cheap, flimsy parts and assembly that turns out not to be square when you're done. Best to pay more for new or even check out used cabinets.

I ordered 4 cabinets for my laundry room, two 18" with drawers and two 30" with doors. I've bought a lot of "ready to assemble" furniture over the years, and this was among the lowest in quality. Many of the pieces came chipped or broken, the cam locks feel very flimsy (usually you can feel them pull the pieces tight when you turn them but this was not the case here) and a few of the holes didn't line up properly so I had to re-drill them. I decided to just live with it on the pieces that were broken inside or back where it really wouldn't show, but still had to order a couple of replacement panels. I will say they processed and shipped the replacements very quickly, which was nice, but even they came broken in the back! (There's a thin line routed along the back for the back cardboard panel to slide into; this is the point of weakness where the side panels kept breaking. It won't show when put together but irritating given the amount of money I spent to end up with a broken product.) End result, they are still less expensive than other options, so they will suffice for my laundry room but I wouldn't use these in a kitchen unless you plan on replacing them in a few years as I don't think they'll hold up all that well. Also, when put together they pieces really don't line up all that neatly, so its always going to have a low-end, somewhat sloppy look. This is just one of those "You get what you pay for" kind of items.

You would think that spending over $100 for a cabinet that I have to put together myself would be a nice value product, but its not. It came chipped, but luckily it was just the inner back bottom corner, so I didnt have to put up with getting a new one. The toe kick doesnt line up with the edges of the cupboard, leaving cracks in between the several that I ordered as well as the floor. The backing of the cupboard is made of cardboard....hopefully that never gets wet! If it werent for the fact that I was able to get exactly what I needed, I would rate it at one star. Spend the extra cash and get the better quality cupboards.

THIS LOOKS GREAT, BUT IS NOT MADE RIGHT. DRAWS HIT EACH OTHER. DID IT ALL RIGHT,RECHECK 20 TIMES. THEY JUST MADE THE DRAW FRONTS TOO LONG . ALL DRAWS WERE 1/4 " TOO LONG AND HIT EACH OTHER SO WOULD NOT CLOSE. WE HAVE HAD OTHER BRANDS OF CABINETS TO ASSEMBLE AND THESE ARE THE WORST. PRESS BOARD TOO, NO LONGER IS MY OTHER KIND SOLD THAT COST LESS AND WAS REAL WOOD, SOLD ONLY 1.6 YRS AGO. IF YOU NEED CHEAP GET IT BUT PLAN ON AJUSTING IT TO WORK. BUY ALLREADY MADE ONES !

It does take some time for proper assembly and to make sure the cabinet is squared up.
