I needed a simple solution to my kitchen storage shortage. I liked the bones of this piece. I did want a less conspicuous option, so I did not add the metal base. This worked perfectly as the sideboard is now the same exact height as my window frame. I did not care for the light oak handles once I put it together so I bought some Fusion by Krylon and remedied that issue. There are two reasons I give it 4 instead of 5 stars. After tweaking the hinges, the right doors are still not even. I have tried every position I could with the screws, but I think they were simply drilled a bit off. Second, there was a corner scuff that, due to the glossy white finish, is hard to repair without some notice. Thankfully, this is not a showpiece for me. For a few hundred dollars, I do wish they would package things extra cautiously. Overall, it is going to get the job done and seems sturdy.
