HOMCOM Sideboard Buffet Cabinet Solid Wood Countertop White

The instructions were so well laid out - very easy to understand. The well-made instructions were similarly laid out to how Lego does their instructions. The finished product is very solid and sturdy. I would have thought it cost more. It's just the right size and looks great! The drawers feel nice and solid. The only thing I would add is some kind of protection between the unit and the floor. Where it touches the floor directly there's no protection - just the unfinished particle board. We are getting little floor protectors to protect the board from moisture when we mop or if there's any spills near it.

Easy to build if you can follow instructions, great quality, great storage option

The size is good, the value for money is what’s best about it. It looks similar to ikea furniture, and has similar build quality. It’s not 100 year old walnut hardwood, that would probably cost multiple times what this cabinet costs. It’s like a composite wood with a colored laminate on it, but it looks decent considering it’s not truly a real slab of wood. The top part is nice and sturdy, overall it’s a good cabinet. After building it I was curious if I got a good deal, and checked ikea website. Similar cabinets on ikea go for $300-$400+. Keep that in mind. Because this is a “buy and build at home” if you assemble a piece here or there and it’s not perfectly aligned, you may have small spaces on the cabinet doors that aren’t 100% aligned, but overall everything looks good imo The only real complaint I have are the instructions. It’s like they were written in English, translated to a foreign language, and then translated back into English, but with pictures… like an alien created what they think are clear instructions. Some pages will have steps 1, 2 then 8,9. The next page could have steps 3,4 and 20,21. It’s all jumbled, *but* each step is numbered. You just have to check a couple papers to find the next step, and the pictures don’t have words so you have to kind of ponder for a minute to match up what you’re doing to the pictures. All in all i would recommend, just realize it is essentially an ikea type of furniture it’s not 100 year old walnut hardwood from the redwood forest

#Cons: - This is one of those products that I think it's worth mentioning the cons first. You'll have to decide if it's worth the time you spend vs the money you spend for it before complaining. It takes me around 5 hours to get everything together because the instruction manual has only pictures. Yes, it'll be guess work and sometimes when you put things in the wrong place, you'll have to go back and fix your mistakes. So it's best to have an electric drill to undo your wrongdoings, if any. So it isn't easy to assemble. - Have to be somewhat gentle. These are made of sturdy boards, not solid wood. You can't go ham with your drill and expect it to hold up. You'll only make parts look unparalleled because of unnecessary force. - Be careful when installing the rails. I put up a picture so you can see what's up. Because I put them in the wrong positions before and it was hard to go back when everything else is finished. The part with a long hollow section will be on the sides of your drawers. So you'll just have to make sure your rails fit on either sides. Sometimes the manual guidelines don't do a good job of explaining, and/or the pictures belong to older models, they don't fit. #Pros: - MDF board, which is Medium Density Fiberboard. But because it's not plywood, you don't have to worry about mold, bug, or wood cracking. Plus, it's stronger and more durable. - That's also why it has a great value. Because MDF board. I grabbed this when it was $140. I could have spent at least $100-$200 or more to get something similar. So I'd buy again if I could. - Lots of storage capacity. My apartment kitchen is small. So having this cabinet is not only giving me counter space, but also a ton of storage that I don't have. This is a winner for small space living. - Have many usages. I use the cabinet storage as a stationary kitchen island as well. I serve it with some bar stools and voila, it's a small dining table for 2. - You can move the inner shelf to a different level to suit your needs. - Magnetic lock. Ah yes. Some cabinet till this day doesn't equip with this feature. Go figure. Closing/opening the cabinet doors is a breeze. #Verdict: - Definitely worth a buy. Save me a lot of money if I want to spend on a similar cabinet. - Have someone to help you so it'll cut down time in half. Like I said I put together alone and it took me roughly 5 hours mainly because some parts I didn't do right based on wrong/old model pictures, so I had to redo them. But 2 people would make it easier. - Lay out every single part and label everything if it's missing. You'll thank me later. It helps me a lot in grabbing the right piece. Good luck.

I bought two of these and assembled them by myself. The instructions do need some work to make it clearer which way something goes but other than that, they were pretty good. I had no problems of holes not lining up until I got to the hinges which seemed like the holes were too far up for the hinge to sit flat on the inside but finally figured it out. Another problem I had is that one of the knobs is broken, it won't tighten on the screw and just spins around and around. The screw part is fine, this is a problem with the knob itself. I planned on having black knobs so I am not concerned about it but thought I would mention it for those that have no plans on changing them knobs. The drawers and doors all work well although the doors are a tiny bit off. There is no adjustment in the hinges so I haven't a clue how to get them exact but it is such a tiny amount (see photo) I am not even worried about it. (I have put together many cabinets in my years and you should see how 'off' some are. This isn't nothing!) I loved the back of this cabinet! Yes, it is a thin piece of pressboard or whatever it is made out of but it is white to match the cabinets on both sides. There are two pieces but also a plastic strip for the center, each piece fits inside this plastic "I" strip for joining of the pieces which also adds strength. Also, it is not just tacked on, it is screwed on all the way around with little screws. This is the first time I had seen this. Other cabinets are two pieces with no joiner, and are tacked on with those little tacks that pull out as soon as you hit the back of the cabinet inside by pushing a pot or pan too far back. Not happening with this one! I just wish there was more information on the cabinets that covered adding adjustable legs since this has none. For example: Can I add adjustable legs inside the scalloped bottom in the corners or do I have to take that scalloped bottom off and add them in that exact same spot that scalloped bottom was?) To sum it up, I am very happy with the cabinets. They went together very well. Everything was marked, not only the pieces but the screw bags as well. I think it is quite sturdy and I really need this extra storage space. I do recommend these cabinets.

I bought this to store in my kitchen as a board/card game holder. I host a lot of game nights at my place and as a result have amassed quite a few games with no where to put them. It is absolutely PERFECT for this; I was able to get everything in there and still have some space for a few more. The drawers I used for cards, pencils/pens, and pads of paper. The sturdiness is decent... it IS a tad wobbly but it's holding everything just fine. I redid the doors twice to try and get them as level with each other as I could; the knobs still don't line up exactly but I don't think anyone but me will notice it. Assembly was something else... I have been putting together furniture since I was a kid; I'm very experienced, ha. This took forever. I had help from my guy, who actually started it for me and had been at it for almost two hours before I was able to join in and help, and it took us another hour after that. For anyone who put this together alone... you have my complete respect and sympathy.

I purchased this cabinet through Amazon, and it was delivered Saturday. The cabinet was fairly easy to put together and a little better quality than expected. However, my experience has been quite frustrating. When I reached step 12 of the assembly, I realized the long rails were broken. They were packed this way, as they were all together when I pulled them out of the box but didn't notice. Needless to say, I'm quite upset because the cabinet isn't cheap, and it arrived broken. Additionally, the parts box with all the screws, bolts, and nuts was a mess. Most of the packages were open and thrown in there. I'm not sure if the drawer rails broke them open, but it was a disaster of loose parts and pieces. This whole experience has been somewhat of a disaster due to the broken pieces and the loose parts. I reached out to Amazon, sent photo bottom rails that were broken. They gave me information to contact the manufacturer and said I should receive a response in 24/48 hours. I emailed them with photos and a lengthy explanation, no response 72 hours later. I reached back out Amazon to see how they could assist. Since the cabinet is put together, I just wanted the damaged pieces replaced. On a positive note, Amazon customer service was helpful in trying to do the right thing. I received a partial refund and will find the feet for the cabinet myself. Unfortunately, the customer service from the manufacturer was extremely poor.

Easy to put together. Boards not super strong. Cute!!

Me encantó!!!! Igual a la imagen, superior sólido y resistente

Very nice and beautiful

I’m pretty sure the material is nothing more than compressed sawdust, it’s extremely fragile and one piece snapped in half just from trying to move the piece. If you screw just a little too hard, it’ll start to shred and crack. Pieces arrived chipped, the backing is just cheap white cardboard that doesn’t even fit properly. The photos don’t match what the final piece looks like. Nothing about this is worth $200!!! I seriously DO NOT recommend this, it’s complete garbage!! I had no choice but to change the layout because of that one broken piece, it’s fine for now but I’m definitely going to be looking for something more solid and worth the price.

Absolutely love this and easy to put together

Was exactly what I wanted.
