South Shore Acapella Wardrobe Armoire, Pure Black

I have built many furniture kits. This is a good one. Connector technology has really improved. You don’t need a screw gun or drill. Everything goes together with screwdriver and is quite strong. Realize with these kits there is going to be dings and dents in the pieces. Very few are actually visible. Doors rattle a little / but just shoot some glue from glue gun on inside and you are good. I also add a little hot glue inside the drawers. Would definitely purchase again.

My son needed some form of a closet in his room that allowed for hanging some items up. This works well and is sturdy enough to work for his closet. It will not last forever as it is not really a "nice" piece of furniture but it will work for a few years at least. It was a pain in the butt to get put together. Things were not drilled correctly, the back didn't match up correctly, etc but we made it work. The hanging bar is thin so hopefully it will last and hold up to the weight of 5-10 clothing items.

Most disappointing product, drawers come apart. Very poor quality. And has a very bad smell that sticks to clothes and smells like really bad body odor.As you can see in pics, bottom of drawers are paper thin, pieces do not stay together and tracks for drawer are too far apart to keep drawer in place.I was really excited about this product that had mostly good reviews, paid a local company to assemble dresser and a matching wardrobe because 45-pages of instructions for each piece of furniture and instructions practically take an engineering degree to figure out. Even with that, I would’ve been ok, but after assembling, discovered poor quality and awful smell.There was a similar review about bad odor and I thought the person was overreacting until I realized that all my clean clothes were coming out smelling like body odor. And that’s embarrassing to go to work with clean clothes but people think you’re unkempt because your clothes wreak of something awful.

Awesome you will not be sorry. Only comment I will say will be with the way the pieces are labeled. You definitely need don't common sense since done if the pieces are mislabeled for example 2 pieces were labeled C1 instead of one being C and the other bring C1. As well as, there should be a small sticker saying which side goes up. Other then that it is beautiful and study. Perfect amount of space.

It said that it would take 90 minutes with two people, so putting it together by myself it should’ve most likely taken around 180 to 200 minutes, right? I can’t even remember how many times I called the company to ask for help, one time the lady made me cry because she assumed I was calling to hire somebody from her company to come and set it up for me when all I was calling to do was get clarification on page 17. I will tell you that the instructions are mostly clear, mostly well laid out, but for someone like me who is not good at/not experienced at setting things up, I highly don’t recommend it. Plus I’m a little disappointed that there’s not a sturdier base to each of the drawers, the base they provided for each drawer is pretty weak. And the top doors of the wardrobe I supposed to stay closed on their own, but there’s no magnet or latch or anything to keep them that way. So, when my daughter went to put clothes in, she had to really limit what she could put in because the doors wouldn’t shut. So she only has a few things hanging on the one side. I definitely think it’s mostly nice quality other than what is aforementioned but when I buy it again? No. Oh, in case you’re wondering how long it took me to put together by myself, it took me 11 hours. Hours. Eleven hours. 11!!!!! But I did it and I’m proud of myself for not giving up, but I did ugly cry several times. But it’s done and I’m proud of myself

Looks cute, not too bad to assemble. We used to have one of those paper closets made of plastic tubes before this one. So this is definitely an upgrade. It’s sturdier than what we had before but it’s no mahogany wood but again you are paying around $200 bucks so don’t expect that. It’s really cute and serves the purpose. I’m happy with the product! Almost decided not to get it because bad reviews but glad that I did.. it came in one piece with all the parts. Just take your time, follow the instructions, and it’s really easier if two people are assembling it

I really wanted to like this. The style was perfect for my bedroom, and just large enough to fit my uniforms (scrubs/shoes/undershirts) for work.Unfortunately things didn’t work out great. Installation wasn’t hard as long as you follow the instructions closely. I laid everything out like I saw in the manual, and worked from the bottom up (as suggested). It took about an hour, but wasn’t difficult.Where this gets a poor review: the right door rubs against the drawer and will not close unless the drawer is fully opened first. Initially I assumed it was user error, took the wardrobe apart, and re-built it. No such luck. In addition the top drawer falls apart easily. The bottom falls out, the back panel falls off, and it has difficulty staying on track. I have to fix it daily (and this was not a user error). I find the contents of the top drawer scattered into the bottom drawer constantly (which also makes pulling the drawer out exceptionally difficult… it also means I cannot open the door to the wardrobe). The backs and bottoms of the drawers are made of flimsy particle board, and are not terribly sturdy by any means.For as much money as I spent on this wardrobe, and the time allotted to building it, I expected a much more functional product. What I received was not as described, and was not worth the price I bought it for.Skip purchasing this wardrobe, and just go to your local IKEA. The quality of their furniture is much higher than this product.

Easyish assembly, if you have put flat packs together before, this won't be to complicated. If you never have, get someone who has!For the built size, it actually takes a lot of stuff. I just wish they made the bags labeled so you know what the parts in the bags are.

So I build a lot of furniture around the house and all, now you can usually tell if a product is high quality or low by its weight and how it's packed. This closet was very heavy, it was no easy feat to bring the boxes inside my house. But the closet was also very well build. The wooden panels were strong, every part was giving in spare and there was great instruction. Took me 3 hours to build alone so It is doable.

Good value for the price - you do get what you pay for! This is heavier than I expected, which was nice. It fits well with my other furniture. The only thing I would have preferred would be the option for shelving on both sides, as I have enough hanging space in my closet.

Do not buy from this company. This is the worst piece of so called furniture I have ever been stuck with. A complete rip off. I tried cancelling it within the hour of placing the order. They denied I tried to cancel. I cancelled again. They ignored me. Amazon claimed I could refuse delivery. Impossible given they delivered without letting me know they were delivering. Zero chance of refusing. As soon as they get your cc number, that's it. Forget getting money back, cancelling, refusing delivery.There were two extremely short and extremely heavy boxes. I had to drag them to move them. Too heavy to lift. It's a bunch of crappy pressed board heavy pieces of wood and cardboard. Cheap, cheap, cheap. There are hundreds of parts and screws. If you think IKEA is a pain, this is IKEA on steroids in terms of difficulty of assembly. The screws strip easily. Crappy metal. The pressed board crumbles if you try and tighten a a screw. Assembled it's wobbly and forget moving it a few feet, it falls apart.If I could select two companies to ban for life from business, it would be: "South Shore" and "Amazon".I will never purchase anything again through either of the two.In the end, I threw the while thing, piece by piece, as it fell apart trying to move it into the bedroom after assembly in the living room - directly into the garbage bin, where bith companies belong, in my book.

Missing piece. South Shore customer service think it's OK to wait "6-7" days for the missing part. Returned.
