Sauder HomePlus Two Door Storage Cabinet/Pantry Cabinet, Pacific Maple Finish | Two Door, Finish

I'll start off by saying that this is my 2nd & 3rd purchase of this cabinet. Living in a home built in the 1800's, we lack storage! The first one was purchased two years ago and used as a linen closet for my bathroom. After renovating our pantry this past week, I purchased two more of these to put side by side. This gives me lots of storage! I can tell you the instructions improved immensely on these since my first purchase. Very clear and easy to follow this time around. Even the nails/screws/pieces were clearly labeled. Here are my pro's and cons: Pro's -Instructions were very clear and the unit was surprisingly easy to put together (except for the doors - you'll need a 2nd set of hands to align the hinges). But being a tiny woman, I managed to put these together in no-time. -The hinges on the door do allow you to adjust the doors both horizontally and vertically in case they don't look even. The first cabinet had a big gap between the doors when I first installed them. The second cabinet, the right door fell a little lower than the left. Adjusting fixed it a bit. -You can easily adjust the feet in case your floor is slightly uneven to adjust the unit. I put two next to each other and this feature came in very handy. -Shelves are deep and adjustable. -Looks modern and clean Cons: -The door handles on one of the units are not even. Meaning, the holes were drilled slightly off. Nothing I can do about that one. Hardly noticeable, but I see it.... -As great as this unit is, the back of it is severely lacking in quality. It's literally a piece of cardboard backing (not even particle board). How is this possible?? -The doors close SUPER loudly. Maybe i'm just used to my soft close kitchen cabinets. I purchased cabinet bumpers to help with this. It made a difference. -While the shelves themselves are sturdy, they are made of particle board. I made the mistake in my bathroom cabinet of storing some liquid soap bottles in there and my iron. BIG mistake. I had a leak and the shelf bubbled and warped. Just a heads up to use contact paper or liners if you plan to store anything with a liquid. Overall, I am very happy with how these came out. They serve the purpose, look great, and didn't cause me to lose my mind when installing. These are worth the purchase!

Very well made, sturdy and strong. Adjustable shelves which is a major plus and plenty of storage room. It has a simple look but I like it, being well made is more important to me. My brother-in-law and I put it together quickly, he had a battery operated screwdriver and I held things in place, so it would be best to have two people to put it together. Well worth the money.

Aesthetically appealing storage cabinet at a decent price. Because of the negative reviews, I had some reservations about ordering this storage cabinet. Based on reviews, it seemed that because of quality control issues, meaning damaged parts or missing hardware, I was concerned the cabinet I might receive would be hit or miss. I'm happy to report that everything I received was fine, except for a few small imperfections on the exterior cabinetry... meaning nicks or scratches on the surface. Although these imperfections aren't glaring, this is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. This product is very heavy. My box actually had a label cautioning that the weight was over 75 pounds. I needed this cabinet upstairs so had to drag it into the house to unpack it downstairs, then carry pieces of it upstairs for assembly. I'm a 63 year old woman but consider myself DIY handy. I assembled this cabinet on my own. The cabinet was fairly easy to put together. The instructions for assembly are clear and very easy to follow. I had some issues with assembling the base. Mainly lining up the screws on both sides of the base but, with some persistence, I eventually assembled the base just fine. The cardboard backing was a little tricky because it comes folded in the shipping box. Because of this, there is a tendency for the cardboard backing to sag in the middle, making it difficult to align it perfectly square on the back of the cabinet. I never did get it to line up perfectly square, however, I was able to get the backing lined up enough that it didn't overlap the sides of the cabinet. The doors were also a bit tricky. After standing the cabinet upright, the instructions say to attach the left side door first. Being right handed, it would have been easier to attach the right door first. The reason being, the doors don't fully open to the side. The doors open perpendicular, 90 degrees, to the cabinet. This allowed very little room for me to get in there and attach the right door, so had to use my left hand to do so. Since I was putting this cabinet together by myself, I used a very thin book (estimated between an eighth to quarter inch) to help prop up the doors to help get the doors to the proper height so I could easily attach them. Once the doors were in place, I did have to make minor adjustment which I found very easy to do. The door adjustments are clearly outlined in the assembly instructions. All said, I enjoyed putting the cabinet together in spite of having a few minor frustrations. I felt accomplished in the end. I have this cabinet on carpeting in an office space and unlike some of the reviews, this cabinet feels stable and sturdy. I did not find it necessary to attach the wall mount support. I am very happy with this purchase, however, like I said, what gets shipped to you can be hit or miss. I ordered another piece of Sauder furniture to match this cabinet for my office at the same I purchased this item. The bottom of the cabinet (Part D), and the front skirt (Part H) were not the correct pieces for this cabinet and too large by two inches. I had to return that item and re-order. But, that's a whole other review! If everything goes well, the Sauder products are great and well worth the money. If things don't go well, it can be a pain. With success of this particular product, I would still recommend it.

Easy to assemble. The step by step instructions are clear and precise.I assembled the unit by myself without any problems.

The cabinet overall is a great product and easy to assemble. The finish is good and easy to clean. The variable choices for shelf designation is great, offering lots of choices. There are a couple of things that could be improved. 1) the backing of the cabinet is made of thin cardboard that is tacked on and does not provide any structural strength and if items are placed hard against could break. 2) The doors have spring loaded hinges that keep them closed but in my opinion are a bit week and should of had a magnetic catch at the top of each door.

I purchased two of these cabinets to stand side by side in my mud room to hold kitchen appliances, closet type items and pantry items. It fits the bill and looks nice and clean in my mud room where before it was an open shelved mess. They are sturdy and wee easy to assemble. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this storage unit. I used it as a pantry cabinet in my kitchen. The oak colour matches the colour of my kitchen cabinets. This unit is a good value for your money. Also it was easy to assemble, the instructions for the installation was very clear. It took both my son and I two hours to put it together. My only complaint is that when completed there is a gap between the doors. Other than that I am satisfied with this unit, It's functional and serves the purpose for what I needed it for.

It was very easy to assemble; I did it by myself. I love that it's tall, but narrow, so that it gives you a lot of storage space without taking up too much space in the room. (I used to have a different brand that was shorter but wider, and this one is so much better!) I also like that you can adjust each of the feet individually; my floor is a bit crooked, so I just adjusted one foot, and the cabinet is level and doesn't wobble. It's quite sturdy. I wish it had one more shelf, but that's a minor thing, and the manufacturer's website has an order form where you can order extra shelves.
