What People Are Saying About This Oak Corner Cabinet

Neat little cabinet
This is the second of these corner cabinets that we have purchased. We also have the solid oak 7 drawer chest and these small corner chests compliment the large one nicely. (If you want good quality - go for the solid mission oak things). The small cabinets are clearly not great quality, but they do look nice and for the price, are good for limited storage. The first one took a little time to put together and we did do a couple of things backwards and had to fix that, but the second one went together quickly and easily. As with most instructions that come with things made in China, it's a bit of a challenge. Guess we did learn from the first. They are a little smaller than anticipated, but they are true to the photo. 


Great Storage Cabinet
We bought this cabinet to use in the kitchen to hold food products that don't fit in our cupboards since we don't have a pantry The cabinet was simple to install, but it did take some time. The magnetic lock on the fold down drawer does not latch very well. The cabinet works great for what we wanted it for, but we were hoping it was going to be a little bit bigger. The cabinet stain color is great, but it is very strong smelling and is taking awhile to off-gas. The wood seems to be of good quality. Overall, we are satisfied with our purchase especially for the price we paid. You will not find this cabinet cheaper anywhere else.

This piece looks and works just as I expected it to - it truly is perfect. It came without some of the parts and I called right away. They were very helpful and sent the parts out express mail so I was able to have the piece in place for the holiday. So in the end both the product and service was great. 

Although my son had some problem putting it together he contacted the company and the problem was resolved. People were most helpful in helping us. I really like the quality of this piece and look forward to being able to add more pieces in the future. 



Great directions for assembly and exactly as advertised. Material is substantial and attractive. We are delighted with this cabinet it was exactly what we were looking for.

The picture is exactly what my cabinet looks like, the quality is good and considering the price, it was a deal. I read some of the other reviews and would love to meet the guy who assembled it in30 minutes. That's 13 seconds a piece considering there are a total of 136 pieces in the box, 123 of which are screws, bolts and assorted items of attaching wooden pieces together. My time was a bit over 2 hours including a few short breaks. That said, it was easy to assemble if you simply followed the directions and were careful to keep the parts in the marked bags so as not to start guessing what Screw "M" is. They even have some humor in there, for instance, the tube of glue has a warning, "Glue, not eatable." And a word of caution, on the last two side panels, there is a label with an arrow pointing up and the label is on the bottom of the panel. contrary to my logic, the arrow is actually at the top where it is then pointing down. The obvious indication that you are assembling the panels correctly is to make sure the holed match the mating wood you are screwing into. And as has been mentioned by others, if you are using this as a table to put an old fashioned CRT TV (who has those anymore?) and the cabinet is on carpet, it is a bit unstable. I'm happy with the purchase.

This little corner cabinet was just the ticket for what I ordered it for. I have a RV travel trailer that I had installed a TV, with a wall mount ,in the corner of the entrance of the trailer. I had the cable vision modem and the internet wireless router which was just below the TV , just sitting on the floor. After installing this cabinet, they fit perfectly on top and I have lots of storage for DVDs and video media in this cabinet. The trailer has light oak cabinets and furniture and I would have liked this cabinet to have been light oak, however it is more of a red oak in color. It still looks fine though and as if it we from the manufacturer. I assembled the cabinet in about 30 minutes. Looks great!!!!  

Once completely assembled, this product looks good. It looks exactly like the picture. The space inside the cabinet is a bit smaller than I expected because it is not as deep as it appears from the picture but it fits my corner space perfectly. There were lots of pieces to assemble but the parts bags and pieces were very well marked and the directions were very easy to follow. I am very happy with this product. 

The corner cabinet looks great in the photo and when it is initially put together. However, it is thinly veneered pressed paper -- yes -- paper! We bought this for a half bath to use as a cabinet for a vessel sink. We really didn't expect the cabinet to be solid oak for the price; however, we did expect more than pressed paper. When we drilled for the sink and faucet holes, that is what we found, which put a whole new perspective on the 'reasonable' price! On a good note, the instructions are clear and the piece is easy to put together.

Nice sturdy product with appearance as depicted in the Overstock pictures. Color is dark oak, Lots of veneer pieces but doors appear to be solid. Fits very well in a corner and has compact space for storage of miscellaneous items.Takes about two hours to assemble the 13 pieces. You need some mechanical expertise. Philips and flat blade screwdrivers needed and a power screwdriver really helps. (use lowest torque) The dowels were loose in the holes but the glue seemed to act as a filler. You need to wipe off excess glue with a damp paper towel. Its best to lay out all the numbered pieces in sequence and assemble on a utility table. Handles need to be orientated correctly. (Magnetic latches at top, Handles fall down over plates) At step 5, the unit will topple backwards, so you balance it against a wall. The upper magnetic catch is too strong but the magnetic reluctance can be increased by placing a piece of electrical tape over the magnet.
