Sauder HomePlus Kitchen Storage Pantry Cabinet with Swing Door Storage and Adjustable Shelves, in Soft White finish

It's beautiful. I put it together myself over a few days, as I didn't have a lot of time to do it in 1 day. I'm 5'2" and this was too heavy for me to lift from the ground. So I built it on the couch and when I built all 3 side panels, top and bottom and put the backing on, I was able to move it off the edge of the couch and stand it up. I put the doors and hinges, a shelf unit with it standing up. You have to make sure the cam screws are tight and go in all the way. Once you make sure the unit is squared then it was safe to stand. I put a 5lb weight at the bottom back of the cabinet to ensure it wouldn't topple. Be careful building as it is a heavy unit. Building it with a second person is recommended and would make it go faster. It's a great size, nice and tall and will hold a lot. I do think it's a great value and paying for the shipping help, got it into my apartment. I wasn't able to even move the box. Next time, I might pay for assembly to make it easier. The instructions were clear. My unit had no smell.

Great cabinet, good value, sturdy and offers perfect space for kitchen stuff. You can use it for pots and pans ass it's nice and deep on one side and smaller things or food items on the other side. Good quality fasteners and great instructions. Takes a few hours to assemble but it's definitely a nice storage cabinet.

We will use this cabinet as a kitchen pantry, since our house doesn't have a pantry closet. We bought it to replace our old one which was smaller and less sturdy. It took approximately 8 hours for my very capable 10-year-old and me to put together. This was not our first time assembling furniture, but it was definitely the most complicated one we've attempted. The instructions were mostly easy to follow. It was sometimes unclear which direction things like shelves should go, and we did have to take the door with the shelves apart, reverse the shelves and put it back together. Parts were labeled adequately. The assembly was fairly straightforward, although I don't understand why there were some spots with pre-drilled pilot holes for screws, and some spots where you had to make the pilot hole yourself. It doesn't recommend using an electric screwdriver, but if you put it on a low speed and use it carefully, it is immensely helpful. The twist-lock fasteners were more cheaply made than the ones I remember from assembling Sauder products in the past - if I'm recalling correctly, they used to be metal but now are mostly plastic, and they weren't as easy to tighten. There was some damage to the top molding - at first I thought it was some kind of tape residue but then realized it was actual damage to the veneer. I was able to order a replacement from Sauder's website and I will report back if I have any problems with that. Overall, a good product and it looks really nice, and will look even better when we can replace the top molding. I chose the color I thought most closely matched the wainscoting and chair rails in our kitchen, and it turned out to be really close. It holds all of our food with room to spare. I thought long and hard before giving this product 4 stars rather than 5, but the difficulties with assembly and the disappointing quality of the fasteners swayed me. I would still recommend this cabinet to those who have intermediate assembly skills.

This is perfect for extra storage! I like the swing out door on the one side and the flexibility to put that on the side that works best for our room layout. Note that you need to leave room on the side with the swing out door for it to open, so it cannot be put flush against a wall or other object on that side. I was able to put this together mostly by myself but did have help to lift it back up and get the final door hinges on. We had to take out the bottom screw in the hinge entirely to get it to line up - that was the most difficult part of the assembly. It works so well for our space I'm considering ordering another. Delivery was also great - box had a bit of damage on it but the packing by Sauder was meticulous so everything was intact with no scratches inside.

I Love Love Love this cabinet. A must have!!! Its Very sturdy, durable. Made of good material. I have it on carpet in our tv room. I love the smaller door with shelves. I read a review about things flying off when u open the door. I have not had a problem. There's a little lip as well. I've put cookies, a pencil cup holder, box of plastic baggies, brushes and hairties, and much more on it and nothing has fallen off yet. I even tried to swing it back and forth fast tomake stuff fly off and it didn't work. I love the space in the bigger side too. I put wire tiers from wal mart on shelves on both sides it to act as a 5th shelf. It arrived in about 5 days. They said from the 5th to 12th and it arrived first thing on the 5th. Weight: When it arrived I got a text from my sister and she said not even my brother in law could get it in the house. He s pretty strong, a contractor. I am 5'5, 115lbs. It was heavy but with a little 'help' from my 2 yr old, I got it in from front porch, through the living room and kitchen and down the steps (7) by Myself. Without damaging the box. I thought about taking it all out and bringing in piece by piece but with a two yr old, it's just not possible. Assembly: it sat in my tv room for a few days bc From reviews, dreaded the thought of putting it together. Then I decided to tackle it before my daughter woke up. I started a timer, had a 12pk, layer all the pieces out, and finished in about 3.5 hrs but I took many breaks. A lot. Prob could've did under 2 hrs, by myself if I beared down. I have never put a cabinet like this together before. The directions were very precise and easy to read. I did most of it (95%) by myself. A friend stopped by and the only part I needed extra hands for was putting the doors on. I DID NOT HAVE TO DRILL ANY HOLES. The only pain was there is about 50+ little nails for the backing. Read a review about Crooked doors. There are screws to adjust up down, in/out/ and side to side. It's explains in manual and is very easy to do. I do wish it had a strap for back bc I have a 2 yr old. It did have a small metal bracket to secure to wall but it didn't look like it would do anything so I just ran to toys r us and grabbed some.

I'm actually stopping mid assembly to write this review, because I would feel terrible if someone else bought this cabinet because I waited until I was done assembling it to share this. I'm giving this one star instead of zero because Amazon won't let me choose zero, and because I think the color is nice, and I love the design- in the pictures at least. The pros end there. The cons- 1. It's too expensive to return. So once you get it, you're stuck with it. It is SO HEAVY (what she would think would mean quality, but don't get too excited – we'll get to that), I'm not even going to bother to figure out what the return shipping charges are. Plus they charge a restocking fee, which they point out to you as soon as you open the box. 2. Every piece is marked up in some way out of my box. Minor things, nothing I'm going to incur the massive shipping charges to return it over- but every piece has something wrong with it. And I'm really not all that picky – I have a bench that has a huge gouge in it, that was there out of the box – I colored it in with magic marker on that one piece and put it together and we still have it five years later. But seriously- every piece?!?!? The edge where the laminate coating meets the unfinished board just crumbles off. I have pieces of the stuff falling off in my hands every time I move it. The directions say to assemble it on carpet to avoid damaging the finish- which I am. But I could've assembled this in a room filled with nothing but marshmallows and it would still be falling apart. 3. There are air bubbles in the finish on most of the pieces- these are going to pop and peel when you slide things on and off the shelves – which is kind of a bummer because I bought this cabinet to put things in. 4. I have a lot of "assemble yourself" furniture in my house – shelving, cabinets, DVD storage, toy chest, a couple benches – I've done this a lot. This is tied for the most expensive piece of cheap furniture that I own now, and while I expected the back to be some kind of cheap material – this is marginally thicker than poster board. They give you the hardware to put it on – I don't know why, scotch tape would've done the trick. I actually almost tossed it until I saw the prepunched holes- I thought it was packing material. I've been spoiled by prepac (priced the same or cheaper). I own a lot of prepac, and it's cheap, but good quality and even the stuff the kids use (and are very hard on) has lasted for years. I was going back and forth between one of their cabinets and this one, and I chose this one only because I liked the color more, and because I bought it to put specific things in, and after measuring those things I thought they'd fit better in this one. So I decided to take a chance on this brand...Big mistake. The only reason I'm not returning it is because it would cost too much. I know a lot of people are saying you get what you pay for here – but I have so much furniture from target, prepack, other random places – this is the most expensive and worst of the cheap assembly furniture that I've ever put together. Finally- not specific to this piece of furniture, but as far as the company goes – they include a note in the box, I'm taking a picture of it- this just really rubbed me the wrong way. As more chunks of this thing or falling off in my hands as I'm putting it together – even the pieces that didn't look as obviously damaged when I started now do, and I'm being as careful as humanly possible. It's like "ha ha, we tricked you in to putting it together, now you're stuck!" Seriously – what person is going to order a $300 cabinet, put it together, take it apart, box it up and return it all within 30 days, unless there is something wrong with it? There is no reason for the company to write this down, because the answer is no one. NO ONE IS GOING TO BOTHER PUTTING FURNITURE TOGETHER THAT THEY DO NOT WANT ONLY TO TAKE IT APART, PACK IT BACK UP, AND RETURN IT- UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. So to me, that kind of says that they know it's crap. They know what's going to happen when you put it together. They know you need a masters degree in engineering to do it. And if you know there's something wrong with your product, and if you're having enough people put things together and then take them apart and return them to you that you have to write down a policy about it – you shouldn't be selling it. As I said I've gotten a lot of this type of furniture before, I've never seen anything like this. Usually the notes say something like "Thank you for your purchase! If you are unsatisfied or need assistance, please call us!" Finding this note in a box filled with this crap, it might as well have read "Nah nah nah nah boo boo."

Pros: - Deeper than a lot of hutches and kitchen storage furniture, so it fits my larger pots and pans and all of my funky kitchen tools like a spiralizer and salad spinner and such. - asymmetrical doors add a little interest while overall matching my simple white kitchen cabinets, and you can build it with the small door on either side so it’s flexible for placement in your space - the thinner door opens fully out 180 degrees, so the shelves in each section are next to each other. I can open the thing and see everything in one go, an asset to my addled mind. - the front doors, handles, and hinges are all reasonably good hardware and construction, slightly nicer than I would expect at this price point - I bought the white cabinet and it is in fact very standard melamine white, no faux patina nonsense and no trying to match ivories or whatever - everything was clearly labeled and there were no missing pieces. I especially liked the hardware packaging, little bubbles for each labeled item with perforations to tear open, very helpful. - the instruction manual was clearly written in good English with the occasional personal touch, kudos to whoever pays their editors. - there was only like five pieces of styrofoam, thank goodness! Cons: - This thing was a PAIN to assemble, and I don’t say that lightly. I am an avid ikea furniture assembler, I love doing puzzles and putting stuff together. I ask friends if I can come help them assemble their furniture after they buy stuff for new babies because I find it so satisfying. My partner is literally a woodworker, he is making a bench right now, he owns his own shop space, etc. Our skills combined did NOT make it easy. The pieces themselves all seem mostly fine, but goodness assembly was hard. It took us the better part of a very sweaty day to build. We ended up putting a shelf in wrong way round and didn’t notice until the very end - we will be covering the exposed edge with our own melamine tape. The base was a huge PITA to assemble, and once it was on it was a good half inch out of alignment with the sides with very little way to fix it, which led to problems down the road. Because of its asymmetrical nature and how you can have the doors flipped, you have to drill through specific holes and leave others alone - this was not super clear in the instructions, and also if you need a proper drill bit that is not good flat pack furniture etiquette imo. I ended up drilling through some wrong holes and now the base and top of my cabinet have cracks in the surface, and I can’t neatly fix them because again, melamine. And the BACK, omg. It is truly some of the thinnest cardboard I’ve seen yet, its only saving grace being that the white side very closely matches the rest of the pieces. There is almost no room for error when you put it on, either. Because of the aforementioned issues with the base, everything was kind of tilted a bit, and I ended up nailing into thin air, or into the edges of supports and splintering them, and there is a gap in the back… ugh. And, you have to nail in a million nails all around, I am pretty good with a hammer but I whacked my thumb a fair few times during the process. It would have been better with glue, frankly. The anti-tip strap is really flimsy, and screwing it into the wall was somehow impossible. We are very familiar with drywall anchors and this was some kind of weird style. Also it doesn’t include hardware to screw into a stud, which seems shortsighted and cheap. At one point they tell you to set a door somehow hovering a few inches in the air so you can screw in hinges correctly. They suggest using packaging or books to lift it up. Holy moly. This led to a comedic dance of my partner holding the door like some kind of power lifter between his legs and me running around trying to get three stacks of different books to all equal the same height. It was absurd. There must have been a better way but by that time we were too sweaty and tired to think of it. - Okay. Rant about assembly over. But I also have to say that this thing is heavy and adjusting the feet to get things level was a scary two person job. A lot of it was definitely two person, like flipping the thing to nail on the back, or getting the big door attached with adjustable hinges while it’s upright, but that was the one where I feared getting crushed. - It does indeed have a pretty strong chemical smell, but only AFTER assembly and it standing for a day or so. All the fumes collect inside so every time I open it I’m wafted in the face. That said, it’s really not a huge deal, nor unexpected with materials like this. If you want your cabinets to smell nice, buy cedar. But if you are very sensitive to smells plan on leaving it open for a few days to air out. - it doesn’t have enough shelves, I think. I could fit way more stuff in both sides if I had about four more shelves in there. The spaces are tall and there is a lot wasted. I’m probably going to build some additional shelves myself, and that will probably cost half the price of the whole unit. Conclusion: My standards for furniture are too high and I should have budgeted for something a heck of a lot nicer. Just because we are highly skilled furniture assembly people doesn’t mean the hours of work were worth the quality of the end product. However, I feel like I tripled my kitchen storage space in a day, and maybe that IS worth it, until I can afford something else. Not that I’m having visitors these days, but if I were to, they would be impressed by the appearance of the cabinet, as long as they didn’t look too closely. Despite the wonkiness in assembly, it’s level and relatively sturdy in the end, and it arrived all in good shape, too. When I look at the cost, vs how much work it took to build, vs the result, I think I come out better than dead even.

The first time I purchased this product, it was badly damaged by FedEx in transit. The company contacted me immediately when I reported it, and after I sent pictures of the damage, they refunded me fully within 24 hours of me contacting them. I reordered it and this time Amazon delivered it. It takes a while to put together because there are a lot of parts and instructions, and it takes too people at times. But that's what I would expect for a cabinet this size and this sturdy. It was not difficult to follow the instructions at all. I LOVE the cabinet. It's sturdy, looks nice in our basement, and has lots of storage space. I highly recommend it.

Es buen mueble pero uno de los entrepaños viene dañado. No me Interesa devolver todo, solo que me envíen el entrepaño que sustituya al dañado (ver última foto), ya que tiene un dobles que no debería tener

This is a wonderful addition to my kitchen. It was easy to assemble and the directions were clear and easy to follow. Definitely a task for 2 people...but it was quick and easy.

It is a beautiful cabinet, exactly what I need for storage. Very disappointed with the delivery, it looked like it had been on a truck and right in the way for a very long time. That fact may have been the reason for the number of marks on the cabinet, or maybe it was just a poor finish. Either way I have about 8 blemishes on my new cabinet, not huge but definitely noticeable. Unfortunately I needed it asap and it is quite heavy so returning it would also have been awkward and frustrating. If I had not had these problems I would rate it a 5 and change value for the money to a 5. Ease of assembly, well we had issues with the boards lining up as intended so the 3 remains.

I like it a lot. It didn’t show up damaged like some of the other reviewers mentioned. When it’s in the box it is super heavy so be careful trying to move it. It’s big so make sure have adequate room to build it. Like the other reviewers, it did take a long time to build! My husband said it was pretty straight forward instruction wise. All the screws and stuff are in a labeled bag. The only problem I have is with the door that has the shelving on it. We’ve had this unit for a month now and the door is no longer on straight. I attached a picture so you can see what I mean. Now the bottom of the door hits the edge and the bottom. I didn’t notice when I first closed the door today(July 26) so there is a scratch on the bottom from me trying to close it a few times. I will see if my husband can do anything without taking the whole door apart. I might just have to live with it
