InvalAmerica 4 Door Microwave Storage Cabinet, Laricina White

Very nice organizer ok for the value.

5 stars overall because this cabinet was as advertised and suits my purposes.I was hesitant to buy this because of the extremely mixed reviews, but this was the only cabinet I could find that was the exact size and storage capability I was looking for while still within my price range, so I took a chance. Overall, I’m satisfied with this purchase.SIZE and WEIGHT: The dimensions and weight were as indicated.PARTS: All parts were accounted for. The boards were clearly labeled with letter stickers. The hardware was indeed all jumbled together in a single bag, but the instructions included a key with pictures.CONDITION: All pieces arrived in good condition. There was some minor discoloration on a couple boards, but no scratches or dents or anything major.QUALITY: It is laminated, decently sturdy particle board with ok quality hardware. Based on my experience, this quality is pretty standard for furniture at this price point: meaning, something that is functional and will do the job but is not winning any awards.INSTRUCTIONS: The instructions were intense, but it’s a complicated piece of furniture with a lot of parts, so to be expected, I think. The first couple pages were an inventory of all of the parts and an eagle-eyed view of how the pieces will fit together, the next few pages were instructions on attaching hardware to some of the boards, and the last few pages were a step-by-step guide to attaching the boards together. Each page has a picture key with all of the hardware needed to complete that step.Some of the guidance took a little deciphering. As long as I paid attention to which piece was which and how things were oriented/facing, it was straightforward enough. (For context, I have no background in carpentry or any related skill; my skill/experience in this area amounts to assembling maybe 3 or 4 other pieces of particle board furniture over the last decade.)As someone else noted, the key to properly attaching the cabinet doors is the middle screw. It needs to be threaded through BOTH pieces of the hinge, otherwise the doors are going to be crooked and/or have a gap.ASSEMBLY TIME: Finishing the cabinet took me several days, but that’s because as I assembled I covered all the boards in black wood grain contact paper. (I wanted a black cabinet but couldn’t find one in my price range that was the correct size and storage capability, so I improvised.) I would estimate actual assembly time was maybe 4-5 hours (just me, no assistance). Which yeah, is a time sink, but it’s not like I have to do it more than once.FINAL IMPRESSION: It fits where I want it to, has the storage capability I need, seems decently sturdy, and looks very nice. I do think the wood grain contact paper makes it look fancier than it otherwise would, but if you’re looking for a piece of white furniture there was nothing wrong with the white laminate. Overall I’m happy with the purchase.

Wow, this is the biggest waste of money I've ever had to deal with. Not only were the instructions for this extraordinarily vague and cluttered (and for a different cabinet altogether; some of the doors shown in the diagrams would be completely different in appearance from what I was physically working with), but most of the doors and basically all of the drawers on this thing aren't even lined up correctly.As you can see, the bottom-right three drawers are all overlapping the door directly to the left of them, since there's absolutely no gap present between those two spots. In order to close any of those drawers after opening them, you have to open that door first, push the drawer in, and then close the door behind it. Every single time. The bottom-right door is so badly misaligned that it looks like it's been broken off of its hinges. And then, the top-right door doesn't even connect with its border fully. There's just a big, visible gap between the edge of the door and the part of the frame where it should have been lined up at. It's also noteworthy that it has very little stability compared to practically any other cabinet like itself, since the feet on this thing makes the whole unit sit unnecessarily high up off of the floor.This was a colossal waste of both time and money. Fortunately, I managed to get enough free time today to finally build it before the return period closed for me. I couldn't get it fully returned, since I'd have to somehow box everything back up and then ship it back, but I was able to get a 40% refund for what I had paid for this nightmare, which is better than nothing, I guess.This is the dead last time that I order any products from Inval. If you're considering buying something from this company, please either reconsider and buy from someone else, or be prepared for harsh disappointment and a total lack of quality control to show up at your doorstep, ready and waiting to rob you of a few hundred dollars and several precious hours of your day that you could have been using on something more productive or relaxing, instead.

Very poor fit up. 2” gap on the doors. Returning it. Complete garbage

This cabinet is decent for the price. It’s small but big enough to store all the stuff I need it for. Building this is basically like building something for ikea. There is no instructions just a list of the stuff that the package is suppose to come with. Luckily my husband is good at building stuff so he was able to assemble it. It did take about 4,5 hrs to assemble. The wood is cheap and the nails it comes with makes it dirty. By the time my husband finish building this there was black marks from when he was holding the pieces and nailing it together. Also the wood is so cheap one side crack already but it’s not bad enough to be notice. A lot of reviews says bad things about this cabinet but since it got 4/5 stars from over 1,000+ buyers I took my chance and it’s perfect for what I need it for. How long will it last is the question.Edit update Oct 2023I had this cabinet for a yr now it’s still the same as day 1. Not the greatest but hasn’t broken down either.
