SIMPLIHOMEConnaught SOLID WOOD 46 Inch Wide Traditional Tall Storage Cabinet in Dark Chestnut Brown, For the Living Room, Entryway and Family Room

This cabinet has taken place of a table that just held way too much stuff and it looked really cluttered.. Really a beautiful addition to our space.

First, I love this cabinet. Second, I was lucky they shipped this all the way to Hawaii as their website said they only ship to the 48 states. I got lucky!Assembling - putting this together required two people. Although you could use a manual screwdriver, we used some power tools and predrilling the wholes, so we did not crack or splinter the wood. Instructions are very clear and outlines very well. All parts and bags are numbers with numerical and letters to tell you what piece goes where. It even has indicators to tell you which way is front. It took some time to make sure the doors were even when installing, but in the end, we got it. I am very thankful for the extra parts as some of the screw locks cracked.Delivery & Packaging - I will say this thing is packed very well. It made it to Hawaii with no scratches or cracks. Although the box was 100 lbs, and our UPS guy had a workout, this solid wood storage cabinet was packed very well, and all pieces, including the glass, were intact.Overall I love this storage cabinet. I would repurchase it and other products from SIMPLIHOME; however, I think this was not supposed to ship to Hawaii based on their shipping policy. I tried to order another product from them on their website here on Amazon. I was denied as it was outside of the 48 states. In the future, I hope they will ship to Hawaii. I don't mind paying the extra charge as their products are of quality. You can't get this here, and most of the products you can get are particleboard. Mahalo for making a quality product, and I hope I can order in the future.

This is the second piece of Simplihome Connaught furniture I’ve purchased through Amazon and I am just as frustrated with this piece for the same issues as I experienced with the first piece (the same cabinet but the shorter version). My problem is with the garbage hardware they provide. The metal screws and cambolts are so soft and easy to break. It’s so damn frustrating. I’m a 53 year old woman who has the arm strength of SpongeBob and I’m not using Hurculean strength to overtighten the hardware - especially the cambolts, which should just be easy peasy to rotate into the locking position. I really don’t understand how they can break so easily. I have many other pieces of furniture also ordered from Amazon as well as Ikea and have never had a cambolt break in any of those pieces. With the first piece of Simplihome furniture, I chalked it up to it being my fault somehow. However, a year passed and I went ahead and ordered this matching piece and had the same dadgum problem. This furniture is actually a storage cabinet for my grandkids’ toys (arranged Montessori-style). I just put it in place after assembling it, filled the cabinet shelves with their baskets of toys, puzzles, art supplies etc., opened one of the drawers and there sat a broken cambolt that had fallen out when I moved the cabinet across the room to get it into position. Now the bottom shelf is missing one bolt on one side. Considering that this particular shelf forms the bottom of the cabinet and only 4 bolts hold it together, that’s a problem. This is so irritating. No more Simplihome furniture for me.Pictured are the five canbolts which broke during (and one after) assembly).

I bought two of these to go on each side of my fireplace in my summer condo. They are perfect! They are solid, heavy and look expensive. They were easy to put together - I put both of them together in under an hour. Instructions were thorough. The only negatives I found were (1) they have a very heavy paint smell and (2) the tops of them mark easily. I will only have decor on them so they won't get moved around a lot, but if you regularly put your keys, or purse on these, you may want to put a glass top on them.

I didn't find this very hard to assemble, good instructions. Looks very nice. Drawback is the wood and finish is very soft so dents easy. Mine came with right door scratches but not seen when closed - so kept it. Don't know how it happened because it was packaged very well. I'm satisfied with the product and its perfect size.

We bought 2 of these units. They were shipped promptly and well- packaged.Some of the surfaces, like the top, are solid wood. These parts are made of a softer (pine) wood and it will indent rather easily. I wouldn’t set my keys on top of it, even gently. Sliding a decorative vase with any amount of weight across the surface would undoubtedly leave a scuff mark. The paint looks good but doesn’t give you that “durable” feeling when you look at it and touch it.Assembling the unit is easy enough, just somewhat time consuming. The parts are clearly labeled and instructions were above average.Unfortunately, the drawers on one of the units do not sit flush (you can see the crookedness of the negative space between the drawer and frame). The lower door also don’t align properly… to the point that they don’t contact the magnet and shut fully. Like the upper drawers, they are visibly uneven. I tried for an additional half hour to adjust the hinges on the doors, to no avail.For the price you pay and for the assembly required, we would not purchase this item again. The final look doesn’t reward the hard effort you will need assemble it. It will serve our needs because it hides and stores our kids’ toys, but not super thrilled.

This is a very nice piece. Have to say though that it takes a lot of to assemble and two hands. While I did mist of it myself I had to get someone to help me at the end as lining up holes and screwing in nails at same time is tough. Power tools also would have been helpful. As a 60 year old female I have only so much strength in my wrists. Holes could have been more visible. Read instructions carefully too. They’re good just some parts are tricky. Took me 4 hours to finish.

Beautiful practical piece of furniture that can be used in many applications anywhere in your house - beautiful quality - especially for the money
