Inval Kitchen Microwave/Storage Cabinet, Smoke Oak

Once together this unit is sturdy. All My holes and pre drills were in the right spots. I agree with others, this takes patience to put together. Instructions are correct but only pictures. I was in no rush and put it together slowly using 4 days. I avoided frustration. Well worth it when complete. Plenty of storage. Aligning the doors wasn't too bag. Do final alignments once unit is fully together.

What I like most is that it was exactly what I ordered and expected. I didn’t expect it to be preassembled. After reading the reviews, I was a little apprehensive about making this purchase. However, I bought it anyway because I liked the look. I checked each item before assembling to make sure I had all the parts. There was one item I didn’t see but there was a note stating it was optional and not needed. So, it doesn’t affect the quality of the product. Once I started putting it together I was concerned with whether or not the doors or drawers would align properly. Well, they didn’t. So, I made adjustments to the screws on the hinges and they aligned perfectly. I say all this to say, I wasted a few good curse words while putting this together because I assumed something would go wrong based on reviews. Then realized I just needed to read the instructions and take time to make the adjustments. This is actually a really good piece of furniture.

The cabinets don't fit together on the front and they aren't adjustable to make them fit together. The back pieces don't match up either, and since I ordered the "Smoke Oak" version, I didn't get the plastic pieces that connects the back pieces. There is a gap between them as you can see in the pictures. As seen in the pictures as well, there is an INCH gap in the front cabinets. There is a gap in the top right cabinet, but that one is small and understandable as manufacturing dimensions may sometimes be off. But an inch?! You can see the stuff in the cabinet with the door closed. It took me 2 evenings to put together as there are a lot of parts to it. I am not satisfied with the finished product.

After several HOURS of setting this up by myself it looks really nice. There were just a few issues. The instructions are atrocious! Don't let this be the first time you put something like this together! It's literally just pictures on pages stapled together at one corner. No words or actual directions.My one suggestion to whoever is reading this.... put the backing on while laying it on the floor! Don't follow the photo!! I have put together many, many cabinets, bookshelves, etc., in the past and that's how it's always done. I went off the photo in the "instructions", but I kept saying to myself I should go with what I know! Man what a pain it was to put that on by myself while it was standing upright!! Maybe if I had someone helping it wouldn't have been such a pain.Some of the holes were off on one of the doors. I tried adjusting it, but it's just not possible to get it right so I need to create new holes and move the hinge. It's only noticeable when you really look at it, so I'll get that done at some point. The cabinet sits in the basement to hold crafts and such, so no rush.The piece for the top cabinet was a royal pain to put on and get adjusted properly so the door didn't close down on you. I've never seen something like this before. I was thinking a nice shock would have been much easier!Overall, it's a nice cabinet. I have it in the basement rec room to hold my daughter's Cricuit stuff as well as a small microwave. It's a bit pricey in my opinion, but I couldn't find what I wanted on Craigslist or FB Marketplace.

This storage cabinet is an absolute dream...I don't like my countertop to be cluttered...So this was an easy answer... It even fit's my Kitchen Aid 5qt Stand mixer as well... Assembly took some time but it was well worth it...Took about an Hour and a half...The drawers are nice and deep in it as well

Where do I start is right. So, I needed a cabinet for pet items/pet food/supplies. This looked perfect. I read the reviews over a week's time so I knew what I was getting in to.The BAD: 1) First and foremost, the instructions are junk. Especially page 13/15. While I was able to get this put together over a couple of evenings, as I work during the day, it was not very easy to put together alone, as I did. 2) The worst part for me were the adjustable hinges on the doors. I have never used or installed these type of hinges and no matter what I did on the bigger doors, I could not perfectly align them. Very frustrating. 3) There were no clear instructions on the compass thingy for the overhead cabinet - couldn't make that work. The GOOD: 1) The drawers were quite easy to assemble and that surprised me. 2) Once you put on the back panels, it stabilized the cabinet 100%. 3) It is much more stable and sturdy than I thought it would be. 4) It DOES serve my needs very well - Plenty of storage with varying modes ie: drawers, shelves, cabinets. For the price (I paid $ 229), I think more pieces should have come already put together and the instructions really need some work. BTW, I am a female in my late 40's. Is it worth what I paid considering the work involved in building it? NO. However, it is serving my needs very well.

I purchased this earlier this year and have to say I am disappointed. First the instruction booklet was out of order when it arrived so I had to piece that together. As well as the box was missing some of the pieces that the instructions claimed were necessary. Do to these missing pieces the drawers are not sturdy. And it has a slight lean. It looks nice but isn’t as good as pictures. If I didn’t absolutely need these when I purchased it, I would have sent it back and got a refund.

The cabinet works in the kitchen for the storage we needed. However, directions to put it together needs to be a bit better. Some of the pictures are not quite clear. We had to take a few screws out and flip things. Other than that it is sturdy enough for our microwave. Storage is great for our pots, pans and extra plastic containers.
