HOSTACK Coffee Bar Cabinet, Kitchen Storage Cabinet, Modern Farmhouse Buffet Sideboard with Drawer and Adjustable Shelf, Barn Door Accent Cabinet for Kitchen, Dining Room, Entryway, White

looks great love it

Pretty decent. We use this as a table/storage in our laundry room. Assembly took a bit, the pictures are a bit hard to follow but I figured it out.

This is a handsome little cabinet that is very sturdy for its price and for being an "assembly required" product. It is well designed and practically foolproof; the doors aligned with minimal adjustments, and the drawer (with drawer slides) fit perfectly and works great. Assembly is definitely a two person job -- and we abandoned the included allen wrench for a regular Phillips screwdriver, which worked much better IMO. It took us about 3 hours, but the cabinet looks great.

This cabinet is surprisingly high quality and looks/works great! I’m using it as an entryway table and storage instead of a coffee bar, but I think it would well for either. ——— PROS ——— - This thing is SOLID. I expected it to be flimsier for the price, but it’s actually incredibly sturdy. It feels more like something you’d buy at a furniture store than something you’d buy online. - The drawer and cabinet doors open and close smoothly. - It has a good amount of storage space. The drawer holds a lot of our crap (sunglasses, wallet, keys, dog poop bags, hats, gloves, etc etc) and inside the cabinet is bigger than I expected. We are using it to store some winter things and reusable grocery bags at the moment, which isn’t the best use for it, but I’ll add some shoes and stuff with time. - The wood top looks like real wood. This is huge for me with furniture like this. I hate fake MDF looking wood, but this is not that. I included two pictures of the wood top, one with natural light and another with an overhead light. It’s a nice rich brown color and has realistic grain. - It hasn’t chipped or scratched after a month or two of heavy use and cats jumping on it. The top seems to have a protective coat on it. I haven’t gotten it wet, but it seems like if you did use this as a coffee bar and had some spills it would probably do just fine. - It came well packaged and protected. The box got damaged during shipping and had some large gashes in it. I expected the worst, but everything was perfectly intact. ——— CONS ——— - I’m no stranger to putting together this kind of furniture. I’ve built a LOT of it in the past. However, this was definitely not easy to put together. It doesn’t take a lot of know-how necessarily, but it came in about a billion pieces and the directions are a mile long. I also found it required two people to put together during some parts, so keep that in mind. You may be able to do it yourself by bracing it against a couch or something like that, but it will be hard. I’d also come prepared with a power drill, or else you’ll be toiling away with a screwdriver for the rest of your life. I spent about 2 hours putting this together by myself (with a drill), and my husband helped me finish it up in about another hour. ——— Overall, I’m really happy with this cabinet! It was definitely worth the elbow grease to get it put together. I’ll update this review if anything changes, but for now I recommend it! (BTW: I bought this with my own money, and I wasn’t paid to write this review. I rely heavily on reviews when shopping on here, so I just write these for future need-to-know-everything-before-buying shoppers like me.)

It's as advertised but takes a while to assemble. I would recommend having a second person help - solo, it took me about 5 hours. (Put on some music, your favorite true crime series, etc.) Having said that, I have a process and this stuff generally takes me longer than someone who knows what they are doing, lol. First I open and take everything out and put everything in order according to the lettered and numbered labeling and check to make sure all is there. I only use a regular hand screwdriver because with these types of furniture products, it's way too easy with an electric screwdriver to mess up the material. Cam lock nuts are frustrating, too, but that's the price you pay for DIY. (ICYDK, those are the crazy round nuts that tighten around the screws when you insert them in a hole & turn them 90 degrees - yeah, right.) The backing must be done for stability but screwing in the little tabs is a pain. Although it's sturdy, there is also a stability bar that can be attached to the back too, especially if you have climbing kids or pets. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 stars is the amount of time to assemble. It fits just where I needed it and is what I wanted but takes patience to get there. Make sure you measure four your space as it is not quite counter height (which is generally 36"), but again, for a small space it is great. (33 high, 30.25 wide, 15" deep). Price was reasonable and the wood-look top and black hardware accents are nice, too. I am using this as a coffee bar, extra counter space, and recycling storage.
