I read all the reviews and was aware upon ordering that this unit may not be the highest quality. The assembly truly is difficult to decipher and the online instructions don’t cover the entire unit, so it will take some patience to figure it out. Once it is assembled, it looks nice, but the pieces don’t fit together as well as they should. The locking mechanism that helps hold it together doesn’t function like it should, so unless you plan to encase it between or within a solid closet cubby like we did, it will get more wobbly and unstable over time. All that said, it was the best unit we could find among several other options. One alternative could be to order pre-assembled cabinets online through someplace like the RTA store. They will cost a bit more but they are much nicer in construction. We did this for another closet after we realized how mediocre the quality is on this unit.
