Prepac Elite 24" Storage Cabinet, White Storage Cabinet, Bathroom Cabinet, Pantry Cabinet with 3 Shelves 16" D x 24" W x 65" H, WES-2464

I really wanted a black storage cabinet, but after realizing that all of the black storage cabinets available are flimsy, I decided to get this one and paint it black. This is one sturdy cabinet! It arrived in a big, heavy package, and I had to help the UPS driver get it off her truck. Rather than try to carry it up my driveway, I took a boxcutter and opened it right on my lawn, then carried it up a few pieces at a time. The directions are super-easy to follow, and I decided that it would be fun to complicate things by building a platform on wheels, upon which to erect this mighty cabinet. My husband cussed up a storm, but successfully completed both the platform on wheels and the cabinet assembly in a single afternoon. I would have done it myself, but he commandeered the project under the guise of "helping". Works every time! Seriously, I don't know how we ever managed to live without this cabinet. It holds a ton of stuff, and it looks fantastic! In fact, it looked great in white, with its nice modern handles, so I decided to hold off on the painting. I did, however, add two more shelves, just because I could. This was incredibly easy - I took one of the shelves to my local big orange box store, and had the guy in lumber cut me two more pieces of the shelf material to the exact same size. This was so cheap I thought they must have miscalculated the price, and I got to keep the uncut leftover piece for my next project, a linen closet with adjustable shelves. I bought a little package of shelf peg thingies there, too. Now, the holes for the shelf peg thingies don't go all the way up and down inside the entire cabinet, which means you are slightly limited in your shelf placement, unless you decide to drill more holes. However, it worked out perfectly for me -- I moved both of the movable shelves and their pegs to the highest position, and added my extra shelves and pegs to the lowest positions, which created two extra "mini-shelves" tall enough for cans of soup, boxes of jello, skillets, etc. The four "tall" shelves are plenty tall enough for everything tall, or everything medium, stacked double. Plus, the very top of the cabinet is like another shelf. The total amount of storage space is stunning. I want to get at least three more of these, for the garage, the laundry room, and the extra bedroom where we put assorted items we don't know where to put. "A place for everything, and everything in its place" might actually happen! I can't think of a single negative about this cabinet. If I had to come up with something negative, just so you know it's a real review from a genuine human cabinet consumer, not some fake one written by someone getting paid one-half an American dollar to write fake reviews, it would be that the packaging material is unbelievably sturdy. Seriously, I went through like four blades on my husband's boxcutter thingie, cutting up the packaging material so I could bag it up for the trash guys. In hindsight, I should have removed the shipping labels and put it out by the curb with a big sign, "Hey kids! FREE Clubhouse! FREE Fort!"

This is a quality cabinet! Utility cabinets in this category aren't usually the most glamorous pieces of furniture, but this is the best quality one I've ever bought. I've had ones from Home Depot and other outlets, including some similar things from Ikea, but this cabinet is made better than any of them. The box it arrives in is hideously heavy... UPS has it listed at 121 lbs and the product description says 126 lbs. Just know that no matter how strong you are, lugging this somewhere without a dolly is going to be difficult to do alone. The parts were well packaged and there was no damage to any of them, but one of the doors arrived with glue all over it. It must have been a manufacturing defect that nobody noticed. I contacted the manufacturer and they are shipping me a new one free of charge. Fast, no-hassle service. Assembly took about 35 minutes with a power drill and I did it alone. The instructions are simple to follow and assembly was easy. You'll need a Phillips head screwdriver, and a hammer to nail the back on. The cabinet is pretty sturdy and I have no worries that it will hold the great deal of items I will be storing in it. Two shelves are adjustable. The doors have 6-way adjustable hinges, which helped me eliminated the gap that originally appeared between the two doors. They will also help you make sure there is a tight seal between the doors and cabinet and so the doors are on straight. I like the metal door handles, which look much nicer than the plastic handles that come with most other utility cabinets. The doors have rounded edges, giving it a less utility-like feel to them. I also ordered the top cabinets for extra storage space. I'm glad I found this cabinet, and at a better price than lesser-quality ones at Home Depot.

I ordered two of these and got them in this week. I got the time to assemble one of them last night. As I recently built up two other book cases of similar design, I had the tools and recent memories together to make short/quick work of this assembly job. Received condition: Overall, all the pieces were in very good condition. Packaging was solid and the cardboard strength was good enough to keep most external protrusions to a minimum. The only damage was a slight dent into the beveled edge of one of the front doors. But it didn't mar the paint so no touch-up was necessary. Assembly proceeded. Assembly: The assembly was straight-forward. With the help of a little Black & Decker Lithium powered screwdriver, I was able to make short work of the process. Make sure not to use a high-torque device or you will end up stripping out the wood and be up crap creek without a paddle. A large flat area is required so I just used the kitchen floor. All the holes lined up fine so the entire frame went together without a hitch. A couple of key things to note when installing the thin backing: 1. I use #4x1/2" screws instead of the included nails. The nails always work loose over time, leaving the backing pretty much worthless. The screws will stay in for the life of the cabinet, usually. Use the type with a round head and flat underside head. That way they hold the material better without splitting into it. Two packages of 16 screws sell for $2.36 at Home Depot. That's where I got mine and 32 screws are plenty for one cabinet. 2. There is no line or instructions for attaching the backing to the middle support shelf. But there should be. So, get a long straight edge, lay the cabinet frame down on its front side, position the backing correctly height-wise, push slightly off to one side and mark a center for the support shelf position on one side, then push other direction and mark a center line on the other side. Use the straight edge to connect the two center marks together to get the line for screw/nail placement. Reposition the backing to the correct location and start attaching with the nails (or screws if you're like me). Attachment of the front doors was pretty easy, even for one person. Pay attention to the pictures to get the correct parts installed in the correct positions and it will go without a hitch. The pre-drilled holes work pretty well. So the door installation went pretty easy. I haven't made any adjustments to the doors yet but there appears to be slight adjustments for how far the stick out forward and then also some adjustments for positioning when closed. There is indeed a gap between the two doors at the center. It's approximately ¼". Easy to see through. But it doesn't really make any difference so I don't care. The internal dimensions are pretty roomy so it will hold lots of stuff. The supports for the adjustable shelves are the cheap little plastic parts that I wouldn't rely on for anything. I replaced them with the metal ones (5mm version) available through Amazon or also available at Home Depot or Lowes. These are much stronger and you won't have to worry about them becoming brittle over time and breaking. At this point in time, these cabinets are priced at $200. For that price point, I would expect much better quality hinges, metal supports for shelves, and screws for the backing material. As they are, the price should be closer to $125. Or maybe $150 with the free Prime shipping.

I bought this and the topper cabinet to store all the garden goodies I canned. I haven't yet loaded all the stuff in it but the cabinet looks sturdy enough to handle my many pint jars. While I was waiting for delivery, I finished reading the reviews. Retrodog gave it 4 stars and explained some of the things he did during assembly....such as using #4 1/2" screws to attach the back. I chose to do the same and I am glad I did. It took less time to assemble and I think it is sturdier. He also suggested a way to mark the back to make it easy to put screws across where the fixed shelf is located. I still have to do a little adjusting of the hinges but I don't regret my purchase. Retrodog also recommended using the sturdier metal shelf pins in a 5mm size...another very good suggestion which I used. I think I will be very happy with this cabinet and the matching topper. I might get a second one in the spring to replace the pathetic cabinet I have in my laundry room. I am a 62 year old woman and I was able to do this project by myself!!!!! I'm sure I'll feel some muscles that don't get much use come morning but it will be worthy it!! Update on 24 November 2013: This cabinet and the topper have been perfect for my needs as a pantry. It is wonderful to be able to keep all my home canned goodies in one place and have a place for the empty jars. My daughter was here for a visit and she was very impressed with the quality of the cabinet. I still need to fine tune the hinges but I'm not too worried about it since they don't gap that much. Very happy I bought these units and plan to buy other furniture by Prepac in the future.

Perfect for what I needed in my office. I bought two which fit very nice against a wall. Plenty of room with deep shelves. These cabinets are STRONG! It took me from 0930 am til 0430 pm to unpackage and build both. I’m 68 yrs old and had NO help. They delivered weighing greater than 80 lbs each so I got them in the door from the front porch with great effort. Unpacked them from my foyer and began to build one then the other in my office. They are worth the effort The predrilled holes are correct, no problems. The hardware is high quality and the doors have a clean open and close motion. You are given extra nails, screws and shelving tabs that hold the shelves. You won’t be disappointed! Even my little cat approves!

The pros: 1. Solid laminated pressed wood pieces. (weighs over 70lbs!) 2. Assebling the main unit was a breeze 3. Unit came well wrap in book so no destruction of any item occured 4. Deep shelves 5. Free super shipping 6. Adjustable shelves The cons: 1. Attaching the doors was a pain.It comes with a fancy latch system however it is very hard to work with them. The screws are easy to strip with a power tool. The alignment of the door was difficult to get. In the end I had to get my handy man to put in the door. 2. The price of the unit is steep for what I got. Its not very tall. Also its rickety once it is assembled. I have to put something under the unit so it will be stable. 3. The backboard had no nail mark so it was a guess work where to nail them. Also the nails were flimsy which bended easily. It will make a great unit to store items in. However if you are not skilled in tools it be best to find someone who is to master this beast! The deep shelves makes it nice to store alot more stuff.

This is cabinet is incredibly easy to assemble and seems to be of much higher quality that the MDF items I've purchased in the past; however, given the price of this unit, one would expect higher quality. The hardware is quite nice and the kick plate sits flush to floor. For assembly, it took two of us about 40 minutes to unpack it and put it together (we were very happy to see the manufacturer's note that warned us not to throw away the foam for shipping until we had retrieved the hardware). I recommend that you do not attach the doors until you've positioned the cabinet exactly where you want it--leaving the doors off made it very easy for us to move the unit from the air conditioned foyer to the garage. The only drawback with our order was that UPS lost the cabinet (?!). After tracking the order and seeing absolutely no movement in their Hodgkin site for two days (despite UPS noting that it would arrive on time), I called UPS and a rude employee noted that she could not do anything to help me and referred me to Amazon. We've never had a problem with Amazon orders before, so it was good to learn that Amazon wants you to call their customer service reps instead of the carrier's when dealing with lost item claims. Once I was connected with an Amazon representative, all was well. Unlike the UPS rep, the Amazon rep took great pains to apologize for the inconvenience and assured us we would have our replacement in the same timeframe as our previous order. Although it took almost two weeks for the cabinet to arrive, when it did, it was in excellent condition (despite a dented corner in the outer cardboard box). I'm glad Amazon trains their reps to be courteous and helpful!

I looked at this cabinet for a few weeks before I decided to purchase it. I went through and read all the reviews from 1 star to 5 stars and saw that a majority of the reviews were positive, so I finally purchased it. I was so excited because our new house didn’t have much storage and I was planning on using this as a hallway cabinet to hold our bath towels and other stuff. Here’s the only PRO I can give you: I love the color and it didn’t take long to assemble it. That’s it. CONS: You might want to pour a drink before you read the list of CONS. I can’t believe there’s a company that actually manufactures this crap. Since it didn’t take us long to assemble it, that means it didn’t take us long to become disappointed. You would think something that weighs 104 pounds would be sturdy, right? Wrong. Not only that, you can easily sway the cabinet (once it’s assembled) left or right, meaning it is not sturdy at all. If we had kids, we would’ve either tried to return it or put it in the fire pit. That’s how bad it is. Oh, if you’re not good with anything other than pictorial directions, you’ll be screwed. No one within the company that designs this product thought it would be pertinent to actually label the shelves, so you’re on your own on figuring out which shelf goes where. It gets better…. Another big engineering flaw: the cabinet doors that open and close are so heavy that you have to anchor it to the wall because as soon as you open the doors, it tilts forward. If you have small children that like to climb stuff, do NOT purchase this product. This is the first piece of furniture we’ve had to anchor in our home and we have 2 huge hutches that we have no worries with. Ridiculous. After we followed the directions, the end product showed outside doors that didn’t line up—the right door is higher than the left one. The only way to fix this is to re-drill more holes in one of the doors which would be a total pain. Here’s another flaw: after all of this, the shelf supports (that you can move up and down so you can place the shelf) are PLASTIC…not metal. This means if one of them breaks, you’re SOL or you need to go to your local hardware store and hope they have the same size shelf support. BOTTOM LINE: if you’re placing this cabinet somewhere where it doesn’t matter what it looks like (garage, laundry room, attic), you'll be fine. But if you’re looking for a piece of furniture that has competent directions, strong, with doors that should align, then you’re going to be disappointed. I will never buy anything from this company again. Lesson learned.

وصل مجرح ومقشر .. فينش الدهان تعبان وبيطلع فى الإيدين هباب إسود

Très belle armoire spacieuse. Dans les instructions d’assemblage ,il y a des lettres sur les panneaux,mais sur les panneaux ,il n’y a pas de lettre ,donc plus long à assembler. Très solide. Je la trouve parfaite.

I bought this for my kitchen . I like to keep my things very organized and this does the job . it is not that hard to assemble .it took a couple hours for us to read the manual and to put them together . The only one thing I didn't like is the back side of the cabinet which is thin sheet of plywood which has to be nailed with a hammer . everything else is screws in the cabinet which is a good thing. This cabinet is also good looking, sturdy and perfect for my little kitchen . The price is little bit on the higer side ($170) but apart from that I am happy with my purchase.

Produit de très belle qualité. Cependant les instructions de montage sont déficientes. Alors que chaque pièce est identifiée par un code ( ex: C1) dans les instructions, on ne retrouve aucun code sur les pièces. Il faut se fier aux instructions en anglais car la traduction française contient des erreurs (ex: stud (montant dans un mur) est traduit par clou). Heureusement, c'est relativement facile à monter si on est regarde bien les pièces.

Il vaut vraiment la peine, très bonne qualité, tu as besoin absolument deux personnes pour l'assemblée, les pièces ne viennent pas identifié, beaucoup de rangement, très solide, aucun regret de mon achat!!!!!! parcompte très lourdes les boîtes d'emballage, j'ai achetée deux meubles et chaque boîte pesait 70 kilo je n'étais même pas capable de levée un bout de la boîte, sa aurait pu être reparti en 3 boîtes l'emballage mais bon !!!!!
