Elite 16" Narrow Cabinet

This product is very sturdy but the back panel, which isn't solid wood, cracked in transit. I think it happened because the box was very long and heavy. I suspect that it was dropped. I fixed it by screwing a piece of wood on either side of the crack. Not ideal but I needed this cabinet and it did the job. It was easy to put together. It is sturdy and is meeting my needs. One final note... because of the location in my house, I can't secure it to a wall. Since the door is so heavy, the cabinet tips forward whenever the door is opened. I put wedges under the front side of the cabinet and that solved the problem.

The perfect pair...had a 36" space in the laundry room for some cabinets. Could not find anything that had a split cabinet as we needed mop storage one side. But this pair worked great for us. Just left out the shelves! What a super product! I have built so many of these knock down cabinets over the years, mostly China with directions a mechanical engineer could not figure out. But the folks at Prepac Manufacturing knocked it out of the park! Great directions, excellent packaging, a few extra small parts that you might lose. Very, very satisfied. Buy from this North American company instead of China!

The cabinet came in great packaging that protected it from dents, etc and was easy to put together once you figured out which part was which. It fits our laundry room well and has helped to clean up a formerly chaotic corner. I opted to use only use one of the non-fixed shelves for now due to our current overflow of paper towels. I could see myself easily upgrading the look of the cabinet in the future with a different handle and contact paper, etc. due to the blank slate look. My one complaint would be that the door appears to be slightly warped on top, so when the cabinet is closed there is a small gap on the side. However this is not a deal breaker and not noticeable in regular use.

I needed a specific size cabinet. Preferred metal but this was the right size. Assembled alone. Took about 90 minutes. All pre drilled holes were matched and fit was good. Instructions were accurate and easy to follow Could have been perfect with one more shelf but I gave it a 5 anyway. I’ll cut one from old lumber and spray paint. I would recommend

I am happy this was a great price point and still sturdy and nice looking. I can finally reach my laundry detergent! LOL. I was a bit disappointed to find it only had 2 shelves, and not way to purchase more. I was able to find some and they worked. So overall super happy!

Had it together in about 1/2 hour. Very simple with a power screwdriver. I like that the shelves can be adjusted or omitted completely for tall item storage. The door can be mounted either way and the hardware is nice looking. quality cabinet-style hinges, no cheap piano hinges. I just ordered a second one which I'll mount the door the opposite side and screw them together for a large cabinet look.

first and foremost, if you are a senior or have physical limitations or maybe even if younger and live alone, i strongly suggest you have someone to assist you when the large oblong box which is quite heavy arrives. you will probably need someone to assist you with assembly as well. when i opened the box, i first noticed that all the contents especially the laminated pieces were covered in a very fine saw like dust. this should have been a big red flag! because of the black laminate and laminated sides not facing me during assembly i did not notice some rather significant damage. after assembly i noticed the top piece facing the ceiling had a major dent and crack - see photo. other pieces had scratches and gouges - see photos. the door was not aligned as it should have been. i located a video on youtube with better instruction as to how the hinge plates can be adjusted - to no avail. i contacted the manufacturer as indicated and what a nightmare. the customer service supervisor apologized to me after i made contact with her and agreed that my concerns were not addressed appropriately. i was sent a new top piece and new hinge plates. i am concerned about removing and replacing the top piece because i am almost sure the backing will be damaged. i am not at all sure how replacing the hinge plates will matter - i suspect the guide holes for securing the plates are not deep enough. if you do purchase this item, i sincerely hope you're experience is better than mine.

The 16" narrow/tall cabinet arrived today, and literally "dropped" on my front porch in spite of the huge yellow label on the front stating "Fragile! Do not drop!" Lol! God bless our delivery drivers! Merry Christmas to them all! This thing including packaging is heavy y'all! Once it's unpacked, however, the individual pieces are quite manageable. I assembled it in about 1/2 an hour after unpacking it and looking over the instructions. It's a very simple assembly, and the adjustable hinges are adequate (and essential), although very light duty. I have two major beefs for which I only give the item three stars overall: 1) Both the right hand panel and the door are warped/bowed fresh out of the box. Post assembly, I've shimmed and clamped the side and door in such a way that with luck and God's grace they may straighten sufficiently. 2) As I mentioned, the adjustable hinges are very light duty. Given the warped door panel, the hinges are not strong enough to keep the door closed tightly. This shortcoming could have been overcome with the inclusion of a latch for the door--either magnetic or friction. Either one would help. I'll be purchasing a latch and silicone bumpers to muffle the sound of the closing door to complete what should have been supplied by the manufacturer. The size is acceptable, but would be even better if it were a little taller (it's barely tall enough for a broom and mop without any of the shelves installed), and if it were the standard lower cabinet depth of 24". Regardless, I was aware of the dimensions prior to ordering it. The finish seems to be a spray-on finish like paint rather than the advertised laminate, but yet it seems adequate for light duty and for the price point. If I'm able to remove the bow from the door and the side panel I'll consider adding an additional star, because all in all it's a decent cabinet.
