RiverRidge Corner Cabinet - Space Saving Espresso Finish for Kitchen, Bathroom & Living Room Storage | Ellsworth Design for Small Spaces

I purchased this for my small guest bathroom and it is perfect. Does not take up much space and holds all the extra items needed.Color as advertised, size accurate, easy to put together. Nice little corner shelf.Well kids, I hope you have a beer or tasty drink on hand as I tell you my story.It all began last week when I decided to revamp my entryway and found this lovely little cabinet.So I ordered away and waited anxiously (not really anxious...just so we’re clear) for its arrival.Today’s the day it showed up during a God’s pissing storm.I eagerly opened the box and carefully slide all pieces out of it. I consider myself a relatively adept furniture builder and figured this one would be a cinched.Oh boy. Was I wrong.So I laid out all pieces and carefully read the directions. Something I realize my hubby is incapable of doing. He wanted to wing it before I kicked him back out to the shop.So the beginning instructions went smooth enough with a few glance backs to make sure I was lining up the holes correctly. Because god forbid you screw the wrong hole!I probably should’ve reread the directions when it said NOT to over-tighten the screws connecting piece 1 to piece 2. Oops. My bad. I cracked the wood. No biggie. A quick fix. Like I said, this isn’t my first rodeo. Perhaps I should lay off the hand strengthening machine. Who knows.Here is where I thought things were going good.I’m at the point of screwing the back pieces into place. I line up piece 9 to 3 and things looked a bit off.But it’s not too quality furniture so I figured it was a miss drill.Now, this is where things get interesting. I go to connect piece 10 to 3 to 9. Half the holes lined up correctly.I refer back to the directions, and again. And again. I stand up to flip it up to check the internal holes and promptly stepped on a loose screw. Holy jumping jolly beans! I swear I saw stars. Maybe comets. And made a sailor blush. (Pro tip. Wear shoes. Don’t make my mistake)It was in my agony that I glanced down and saw everything was upside down. I refer back to the directions and check all my number labeled pieces and cursed again. It should’ve been correct.Break time. I think I deserve a whiskey on the rocks here. And so I did. If not to mellow my mood, than as a pain killer for my foot.I return.I dutifully unscrew pieces 9 & 10 and flip them around. I cautiously resumed screwing shit into place and sang praises for its fit.I was again refer to the directions and realize I hadn’t screwed up. Which is a good thing. I saved myself from a ripe round of verbal flagging.The pieces were labeled wrong and now I’m questioning my life choices.But it’s finally build and looks super adorbs. I throw my hands up to the sky and praise every religious figure from here to Pluto (you remember Pluto. The once planet now demoted like a cheap hussy concubine kicked out of King Henry the VIII’s pleasure palace)In conclusion, don’t let my mistake be your undoing.Anyone who can read and understand can assemble it very easily. It won’t take you long time to adjust completely. It needs to be attached on the wall for safety. I am not that much happy for the value because it’s very small. I still like it though and I will keep it. If you expect bigger size like as I thought it’s not. I recommend to check the length and width first before you make purchase.It took my BF about 30 minutes to install but to be honest, he’s not all that handy. It’s a simple little cabinet that does what we bought it to do.The corner shelf work great in my vestibule for shoes small items and cheese when you walk in the door under my coat rackI'm sure it was a nice cabinet but I could not put it togetherWorth the money & parts once assembled are worth it. Everything lined up well, sturdy & have a nice flush fit to the call makes it as a good addition to our restroom.Very flimsy and of EXTREMELY poor quality. Many holes weren't big enough for screws and the dowels were oddly short that it didn't hold anything together. It's recommended to avoid using power tools and still, the wood snapped and cracked in many places, even when screws weren't fully screwed in. Package was in excellent condition but corners of pieces were damaged (chipped, paint missing, wood split) and it was still bubble wrapped and sold as a 'new' item by this seller. Very disappointing and embarrassing to give as a Christmas gift.Not the best cabinet I've ever purchased but it fits the corner area of my back entrance so I will keep it. The shelves are shallow and don't allow for much storage. The cabinet had a few scuffs on it in different places. All in all it does look nice once it's all assembled and in place although it really can't hold a lot of anything. I thought I'd be able to store some shoes inside but one pair of shoes per shelf is all it holds. I put a plant on top and that helps give it some eye appeal. It's okay for the price.Aesthetic appearanceGreat little cabinet for our bathroom. Its easy to assemble and provides us extra storageNice tidy cabinet that doesn’t take up room but offers some extra storage. Would buy again, in fact we bought the mate that has the open shelving above.
