homestylesHomestyles Nantucket Pantry, 30", Off White

After having assembled this pantry, I have to say that my wife and I are extremely happy with it. Given that we had to put it together, I have to say that under that condition, the end result was the pantry seems well designed and the parts fit like a glove. This in turn led to a finished product that yields the sense that it was custom made versus something that came in pieces and had to be assembled. For example, the assembled pantry is very heavy, so it's not a thin paneled cabinet that would seem like it came from a thrift shop. But then again, at this price point, you'd expect it to be a bit more on the higher end of design and manufacturing. In my view, I'd say it met this expectation and I'm anxious to someday get it's matching "island" that I saw on Amazon. But I'll have to save my pennies for that one.....the island is even more expensive!Functionally, I have no complaints on the two cabinet spaces. It comes with two shelves for the top and bottom, but each cabinet space has multiple holes for the shelf pins, to move the shelves up or down, so it's very versatile in this respect. The drawer is tiny, but I expected that. It's just as it appears in the picture. It is functional and slides out with a sort of safety position to keep the drawer from dropping on your toes. It's not a tall drawer obviously, but we use it for things like our coffee filters and kitchen scale.Are there any complaints? Well, only one for us. I believe several other reviews complained about the same thing and that was the magnet closure mechanisms for each door. Its a simple magnet/plate type closure mechanism you see at hardware stores for this purpose, but it's a smaller version and I guess for this size and weight of door, it's a bit on the small side to keep the doors shut all the time. So we just went out and bought a larger magnet mechanism, for the doors that gave us a problem. The ones that didn't are doing fine with the supplied magnets. But this wasn't enough for me to knock it down from 5 stars. I've bought many "construction required" type cabinets in my life and this type of thing is common because I think the closing mechanism is dependent on some other factors such as how level the cabinet is sitting and how precisely it was put together. There's always going to be some slight variations that lead to torquing somewhere, and I just think the door closure design tolerance was designed too tight.A couple other things you may want to know. It does come with 4 leveling type feet. The feet are about an inch in diameter and they do screw in to adjust height. Also, in the picture, it appears that there are things place on top of the cabinet. This gives the impression that the top is flat. The top is actually not one solid flat area. If you were to look at the top, you'd basically see an unfinished section with wood braces for rigidity. The top was never intended to be finished and flat to act as a storage platform, but you can store things up there. I just wanted to mention this in the event you were planning to put this next to a stairway, or below an upper floor where you can physically see the top, or you were planning to use the entire top area to place something there of that dimension. Because the braces take up portions of the corner, there's slightly less available area to place things than you might think.Hope this review helps you decide. We're pleased with our purchase. Hopefully you will be too!

This is a very stylish and functional cabinet. It really looks great in our kitchen. Most important of all, my wife loves both the way it looks and how it helps keep our kitchen organized. I was able to put it together in a couple of hours although I have had a lot of experience putting this type of furniture together. It is very solid and the instructions were easy for me and everything seemed to fit together well.

This is a good solid piece of furniture. I am very pleased with the quality. It's solid, sturdy, with plenty of storage space. There was a lot of pieces to assemble, which looked overwhelming. However, the pieces were labeled well and the instructions were well written and easy to follow. I gave it 4 stars because I was so disappointed with the color. I chose the off white because I have a kitchen island in this exact same style. The island is sanded, off white (Ivory). The Home style Nantucket Pantry's sanded, off white has a strong yellow tint. I would describe the color as off white (Cornsilk). Not sure why I put it together after seeing the color. Now I'm stuck with it for now.

I am very happy with this pantry. I was tempted to purchase a cheaper version of this from another seller. This one uses real wood and engineered wood for the construction. Even the back pieces are wood and are screwed in instead of being that cheap cardboard/fiberboard that you so often see in need to assemble furniture. Don't skimp on this one, it's worth the extra few dollars. In fact, we decided to pay the $20 for the delivery to be in our home and man was that worth it. The guys brought them both right to where we were putting them together and handled everything with care.I needed a lot of space and decided to get two of these. Unboxing these was a chore! They are packed really well and each piece is wrapped with cardboard or foam. All of the pieces and the hardware were there including the spare parts. The first one took us (2 people) 2.5 hours to assemble but the second one only took 1.5 hours. The toughest part was installing the cams as there was a bit of paint in the threads and you had to work them in a bit before the thread would catch and go in straight. I overpowered one of the cams and the wood cracked a little but the piece assembled without further issue.The fit and finish was very good. I chose the off-white distressed look ones and it looks great, the hardware is a grayish nickel color and compliments the look quite well. They were both easy to level and secure the tip-over protection. It would have been nice if there were more holes pre-drilled for the shelf positions. One thing I would say was less than excellent was the tip-over protection, it's a couple of metal strips connected to wire triangles that connect with a zip tie. Despite the tip-over protection, I absolutely 100% recommend this pantry.

Very good, well constructed, go together as instructed. Like the wood grain and color. will buy more.

This is our second Home Styles purchase- we got the island and love it, so got the pantry that matched. While it does seem small once assembled, it holds a deceptive amount, and can take a surprising amount of weight on each shelf. That alone makes it worth it’s weight in gold, especially if you’re in an apartment that has no storage!Additionally, this is SUPER sturdy. It’s made from wood, which gives it a leg up over the competition with particle board and veneer. My partner was able to put this together in an hour an a half, with a screw driver. The instructions are clear, and designed to be as idiot-proof as possible. Given the quality, ease of construction and aesthetic, I give this 5 stars.
