I researched these cabinets extensively because it felt too good to be true - most cabinets this size/quality are 3x the price. I ended up buying two to use as bedside tables. Besides a bit of manual labor putting them together (like many reviews, I estimate it took my husband ~1 hour per cabinet and the trickiest part was door alignment), I can assure you there's no catch! I was also worried the light oak wood would look too "fake" or too yellow, but it looks great. If you're thinking about buying, I would complete the purchase today!  I'm currently trying to find other places in my house that could benefit from another one of these.  :)
