Sauder Select Storage Cabinet, Pantry Cabinet Kitchen Storage with Adjustable Shelves, Bathroom Storage Cabinet, in Highland Oak

I ordered 8 of these cabinets for my basement. 50% or 4 of them arrived with damage to the left door. This seems to be very common. Some were punctured, some were snapped in half, and the others had massive scars on the door. Thankfully this company has a good replacement part policy. I was able to go on their website, go to "service" and then "order replacement parts" and fill out the form and get new doors for all of them. The links to their website can be found on their amazon store in the help section or you can just google Sauder. Keep the manual though, it's required for the replacement to be processed because they want the model and lot number from the manual. The pic I've included shows the line of 5 cabinets plus 1 damaged one in the middle that's still awaiting the replacement left door. Once the shelfs are built they are light weight not durable, but look good and are very functional. The side panels are all very light weight and feel like they are made out of super thick cardboard, or super thin composite board. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase. I better be, I spent about $2,000 on all of these lol. Only 1 of the 8 was wobbly and I put it between two of the other cabinets which hides the wobble. I got so good at building these I can now build one in 1 hour 20 min flat without the instruction manual. Super easy steps to follow. The only step that is a gotcha is on page 9 step 5. When you put the center together make sure you screw in the two S82 screws into Q/X. The instructions aren't well marked there so that tripped me up twice and I ended up with extra screws. This shelf comes with no spare parts so if you have extras, go back to the manual and figure out what you missed. The doors are super easy to adjust and it's makes it easy to put these side by side and make them all match. I had zero issues with the structure of the shelfs, the holding capacity, the build, or the look. They all turned out great and match the well side by side. Anyways Godspeed, and I hope you enjoy the shelves as much as I did. If you want a good looking, functional storage shelf, I'd recommend this one.

Very pleased with cabinet. Looks great. Directions were clear. Only complaint I have is the magnets are on the bottom of the door only and are so strong that the door could easily warp from pulling so hard to open. I plan to purchase magnets myself and install at the top of the doors hoping to create some balance.

Bought this cabinet to use as a pantry as we have limited kitchen storage. I got it put together by myself in around an hour and a half. The cabinet looks nice, however it is made of a thinner particleboard material. The magnets that hold the door shut are too strong for the door thickness so I didn’t use them as if you do the doors will jiggle as they open. The doors stay shut without the magnets. The veneer over the particle board is thin and feels papery and the cabinet has a grayish look to it. I am planning on painting the cabinet to match the kitchen cabinets but am a little scared to as I do not want the veneer to bubble. With the shelves in place the cabinet is sturdy enough though not heavy duty, it should be able to get the job done and overall I am happy with the product for the price range and ease of building with the specific instructions. Overall, it’s a good cabinet for now, though I wish it were a little thicker material with a nicer finish. I will make updates at a later time if there are any issues with the cabinet.

I purchased this cabinet to use in the kitchen/dining area as a pantry. I do read reviews and was concerned after reading a few but overall reviews were good. I put this together myself, my husband did help with the hinges, and I didn't have any issues, I followed the directions very easily. Everything lined up perfect. It's not heavy, just particle board so it's not a real wood cabinet, but for what I needed and the price, it's perfect. If you want a heavy, very sturdy cabinet, buy real wood. Otherwise, this is a great cabinet, great price and easy to assemble. The size is great, it actually has more space than I was expecting. Shelves can be adjusted to different heights. No damage to anything and shipping was fast.

I bought this to store extra kitchen appliances as an add-on because we moved and My kitchen is much smaller than my previous kitchen. Had arrived with no damages, It does look very nice, the doors latch at the bottom with magnets, there is lots of room inside for storage, and I like the adjustable shelves. The outside walls are kind of a flimsy material, but seems sturdy enough for what I need, it's pretty light weight, but I wouldn't recommend moving it around too much. Assembly took me and my husband roughly about 2 hours, the instructions were pretty clear and everything was labeled appropriately. Is it worth almost $200, I'd say no, but the price of any type of furniture has skyrocketed. Would I buy it again, yes.

I’m a little disappointed in the quality. I didn’t expect a last forever product but I’ll be surprised if this lasts a year. The doors are flimsy and with the magnets being at the bottom the doors bend a ton every time they are opened. It looks very nice right now but again, I will not be surprised if it warps, cracks, or gets moisture damage being in the bathroom. I think it’s a little pricey for what it is. It was easy to assemble but relies on the thin back panel to maintain the cabinets shape. If the cabinet is placed on an uneven floor (which our bathroom unfortunately has) the cupboard will shift and lean. It’s still usable with the door adjusted to this new shape, but again this product is not going to last a long time.

The thing that I don't like about Sauder's storage cabinet is a tolerable issue. I hate "engineered" wood. At least this doesn't use particle board but some other, better product. Still, it's not real wood. On the other hand... I compared this to a somewhat similar cabinet made partially out of real wood and yeezers - it was over twice the price! So there's a place for engineered wood if the product is well built. Is Sauder's product well built? Yes... for what it is. It is engineered wood that's screwed together. Not real wood with joints and glue and screws. This isn't something your grandchildren will be using but you'll get 20 or more years out of it unless your kids beat it up. I mean, it should be durable under normal use but kids might wreck it. Kid do stuff like swinging from the doors or climbing on the shelves. And I wouldn't recommend moving these from house to house. I wouldn't be optimistic that an assembled cabinet would survive a moving company. What about the assembly? Ah, my assembly was easy! I hired somebody some contractors who were working in the building to do it. They had between 1 and 3 people on the job. It took them about 4 hours to assemble and install 2 cabinets. I've seen reviews say the doors don't align well. All the doors on these cabinet are perfect. These contractors do a lot of cabinet work. They're familiar with the door hinges and approve of them. How do they look? They look GREAT. Sauder even supplies little wood grain stickers to hide the screw holes. The cabinets have a ton of space and adjustable shelves. You can even remove the shelves on one side giving you 53" of vertical storage. I'm quite happy with these. They're a good value, they look good and I can store a LOT of stuff in them.

I own several pieces of Sauder furniture that are sturdy and look nice for the price, so I ordered this for my home office...big mistake. This is NOT the same quality as most Sauder furniture. BOTTOM LINE: Aesthetically it is not nice-looking up close and in person...and functionally it is not at all sturdy nor adjustable (enough)...so it's basically an over-priced hunk of pressed wood/thin particleboard. I'm quite sure that if I listed it on Craigslist (to avoid having to haul it to the dump), I likely couldn't get twenty bucks for it since it is so flimsy it would fall apart when someone tried to move it. More details: 1) Not sturdy. You can push it and watch it sway. A minor earthquake (the kind you sleep through) will probably topple it. Don't expect to store books, canned goods, or anything even moderately heavy in it. The shelves will bow or break for sure, probably in less than a year. I doubt it will even withstand office supplies or blankets/linens long term. Maybe rolls of yarn, pillows, or stuffed animals. Pictures from other reviewers showing other items inside are almost certainly taken right after assembly and loading it up, not after six months or a year, which is when the problems from weight and daily use will occur. 2) No extra hardware is included, not even a single 1-cent nail, so you better hope it's all good...mine was not. One of the small screws was manufactured without the slots in the head for the screwdriver so obviously it was unusable...I had to make a trip to the hardware store to find a screw that size (unusually small). Time + money. 3) My back panel came with the pilot holes drilled on the wrong side. The holes should have been on the unfinished side because that side is supposed to face out (and go against a wall where you can't see it). The finished side is what you should see behind the shelves when you open the cabinet doors. Without the pilot holes to guide you, you could probably figure out how to nail around all the edges, but how to get the nails into the center panel?? Not happening without pilot holes. So I had to nail it on with the finished side out (grrrr) and now I see an unfinished piece of cardboard every time I open the doors. I see photos from another reviewer and although they didn't comment on this, their back panel was wrong, too...not as noticeable on a white cabinet, but still bad. 4) The back panel side edge is unfinished. It's only a few millimeters thick, but I find it annoying they couldn't coat it with the same dark brown color as the unit (or white for a white unit). From the side of the cabinet, you can see the thin edge of the back panel which looks like (and is) a piece of tan cardboard. Poor design. 5) The top is mostly finished, but not completely. The edges of a couple of pieces are unfinished so if you're putting it somewhere you can see the top, be warned. On the dark brown cabinet it's especially noticeable. 6) The design uses a ton of screws (plus small nails for the back panel) and not cam locks or any concealed hardware. So once assembled, you can see all of the dozens and dozens of screw heads. They are slightly recessed and to solve the problem of seeing them, Sauder gives you a sheet of round stickers to put over the screws. Dozens of little stickers that don't come off the sheet easily. Nor do they look nice once applied. This unit should not be put inside the house or in a living space--from an aesthetic standpoint it is really only suitable for a garage, attic, storage room, etc. 7) The shelves are adjustable but not to a large degree. Why they couldn't drill a few more holes to give more placement options is beyond me. As someone else pointed out, the center panel is fixed and prevents wide/large items from being stored. So ironically, some of the most suitable items to store, weight-wise, like blankets and pillows, will not fit inside. 8) Assembly: not the worst I've encountered and the directions are fairly clear. However, in today's age of assemble-it-yourself furniture there are way better designs out there that are easier to put together and yield a nicer looking product in the end. I highly recommend you keep shopping--you can do better. I will be calling on Monday to see what my options are, as this cabinet is worth no where near what I paid for it. I wouldn't give forty bucks for it.
