American Furniture Classics OS Home and Office Buffet and Hutch with Framed Glass Doors and Drawer, Large, White

Overall, this is a fantastic cabinet for the money. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an affordable, stylish cabinet. Mine arrived with a box fairly banged up, but the cabinet was very well packaged and protected. All of the parts were accounted for and none were damaged whatsoever. It’s a bit challenging to put together by oneself, but the instructions were very clear and easy to follow (though I am experienced with tools and assembly, so that does make it easier). I definitely recommend getting a second person to assist with lifting the top cabinet onto the bottom section, as well as holding to upper doors while you mount them. It took me about 2.5 hours to do myself while working at a casual pace and taking several breaks. The finished cabinet looks great, and fits very well in our space. It looks much nicer and more expensive than it actually is. Like many other reviewers have stated, the upper glass doors are a bit crooked and don’t align perfectly, which is annoying, but I will make some modifications to fix it. I also added FCOB LED lights to add some style and functionality to the cabinets. With all this considered, I do heartily recommend this cabinet.

Edit: it's now been 5 years and this thing is still fantastic. It's survived a move across the state, is still extremely sturdy, and is now a crucial part of my coffee station. I waited for this to come back in stock for a couple months and grabbed one as soon as it did- absolutely worth it! It's thin and low pro, but a bit taller than our fridge. Very well packaged with no issues on any of the parts. They give you plenty of glue as well to make sure everything is stable, which is really nice. Fairly complicated to put together, but the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I absolutely love the finished product! It's very nice looking and doesn't have a cheap or pre-fab feel. The storage opportunity is fantastic also. Super highly recommend if you're on the fence!

Overall, this is a cute piece and a nice addition to my kitchen. The instructions were straight forward and this was easy to assemble. I put this together alone for the first 3 hours and then there was a point where I had no choice but to wait for a second person (at step 13 where you have to put the top half and bottom half of the hutch together). About a total of 4.5 hours of labor—probably less time if you have a second person the whole time. Be careful when tightening in the cam screws (I added the picture of what may happen when you use too much force). This project requires both patience and an open mind (especially when reading the instructions). At first glance the instructions look overwhelming, but just take a deep breath and take it one step at a time. Patience is truly key. I chose not to add the shelf to the bottom cabinets so I can add taller items. Some shelves came with a few nicks and scratches but after adding in your dishes you can’t tell. The sturdiness is the only reason why I have this item 4 stars instead of 5; I had to use some of my own parts to get this truly secure and sturdy.

I was looking for a nice looking wooden cabinet that I could store my 8 quart InstantPot, my 3 quart InstantPot and my Keurig. This did the trick! Both InstantPots fit in the bottom cabinet (we just didn’t use the optional shelf down there). The center counter fits the Keurig with room to spare (the back panel has a hole in it to feed the cord through). The top cabinet with glass doors is a perfect spot for all of our mugs. You are able to choose where to install the shelf (and it can be easily moved). Then there is also a spacious drawer for misc items. It was CHALLENGING and time-consuming to assemble, but it’s worth it. It’s heavy! But I like that - it doesn’t have a cheap look or feel to it.

LIKES: Looks pretty good once assembled and dimensions as described. DISLIKES: (1) made of cheap particle board, (2) paint so thin in many spots that made the color appear to be light gray, especially the vertical sides which is mostly seen, (3) paint run (drip) on main shelf where microwave sits, (4) was a small crack in one of the seams where shelf boards were assembled to each other so I had to sand, silicone and spot paint, (5) took 4.5 hours to assemble alone. Although I am very quick and have put together much furniture I found there was very little that came preassembled to save time. There were many intricate and smaller pieces, (6) not extremely sturdy once assembled (some wobbling) and would rate 3 of 5 with 5 being highest, (7) hardware was cheap "monkey metal" especially cam anchors (round locks) which bent easily, (8) top unit did not anchor exactly to bottom unit and there was a small, 1/4" space (although all other pieces fit well), (9) the finish on some of the boards was kinda like a paper over coating which came off of the edges of a number of boards revealing the gray "cardboard-like substance" beneath. Had to use a small bit of touch up paint to cover. I would say this product was of modest to reasonable quality for the price. I am sitting on the "fence post" as to if I would buy it again. Thanks for reading.
