Baxton StudioGlidden Dark Brown Wood Modern Shoe Cabinet (Short)

looks good and has plenty of space for shoes. a couple of things that i didn't like that made me not give it 5 stars:1. the alignment of the doors is a little off. the right door hits the top surface and needs to be pushed in with a little force. I'm sure over time this will wear off or scratch.2. during the installation I didn't like a couple of things. The bottom is connected to the side boards using screws that you just screw into the wood of the side pieces. this means any slight misalignment on your part and will chip off.same with the back board piece that needs to be nailed in. other furniture I've put together in the past has a grooved surface in the back to auto align the back board to the rest of the cabinet. also if you're not nailing it in straight it would chip the wood.3. the instructions are missing some details. in one case the orientation of the board was not clear and could go either way, I was concerned I'd get to the end and find out I'll have to go back and redo it. also I was left with a couple of screws and I had to figure out where those were suppose to go.If you're not very comfortable with putting furniture together, be sure to work carefully. that's the disclaimer I'd put on this recommendation.I'd rather pay $10 and have the work on those minor quality issues. Just a thought.

The package arrived in a sturdy box and was pretty well packaged. Only one piece had a bit of damage, manufacturer defect but it’s not in a noticeable place. I recommend taking all pieces out and inspecting them all before beginning. The instructions were mediocre so I had to skip around a little to make sense of how everything fits. Do not use a drill, simple screw driver instead as the boards aren’t real wood so it’s less likely that you’ll damage it. I felt like I was putting together ikea furniture though the sturdiness overall in my opinion is maybe just a tad lower. It also can not withstand much weight I don’t believe. The shelves are removable which is nice. Overall it looks nice but we’ll see how long it holds up. We are not using it as shoe storage but more as a side table for the kids art supplies and stuff like that.

I ordered 3 of these to replace storage in my office. I wanted shelving with doors so I wouldn't have to look at the stuff on the shelf. The units that were delivered were all manufactured in February of 2020. The packaging is well done. The two page directions are fine if you pay attention. I've seen reviews where people go stuck at step 2. That's because step 2 is the top piece. It is labeled that way but it had me for a few minutes as I was thinking step 2 was the bottom. If the holes don't match, you're doing it wrong. I use an impact drill the crosstip screws. Solid feel but I wouldn't put any serious weight on the top. Maybe you could put a printer there but not if it has torque motion while printing. A good product for the money spent.

I ordered this piece to go next to our entry way to put shoes in and our keys in the top drawer. The box arrived intact, which I though was a good sign. The items within were very dusty and full of styrofoam which made the damages circled in the photos above hard to see. They were only evident after the piece was built and cleaned of all the dust and styrofoam pieces. Normally I wouldn't care about little nicks, especially if they're inside or in a place where they are not obvious. Unfortunately most of the damage is on the main top piece and all over the place. The front edge, the side edges, the top left hand corner, and the top of the piece itself. This was very frustrating, especially after building this took a little longer that I had planned since the instructions are not very clear and rather small. I'm used to Ikea's large instruction pages. Inspect all of your pieces, especially the top piece BEFORE building this.

This cabinet has a lot of potential. It's good looking and can be used anywhere in the home. I bought to use at my job in a salon. It's not the best quality but keep in mind, you get what you pay for. My issue is one that I saw consistently in reviews from other buyers is dents on the product, I saw a couple of minor dings that wouldn't be seen once assembled but one that got my attention was a piece one the side edge that had obviously been stuck back on, the shelves were a tight fit and one of them was too big that I couldn't get it to fit in there at all. The assembly instructions are ridiculous, the print was so small and faded in spots, not every piece was numbered either. It took me hours to complete but I put that down to my lack of experience. Overall I am happy with how it turned out and it seems to be sturdy enough for what I need it for. After writing this review I decided I would buy another one but saw that the price had went up by over $40 .. pass

Arrived very well packaged. No chips or scratches. Very easy to assemble for 1 person. All pieces fit together as they should. Looks gorgeous in the space we envisioned for it and removes the unseemly pile of shoes by the front door. Most shoes in the picture are US men’s size 10 and they fit well depth-wise with room to spare. Our daughter’s hi-tops fit nicely too. It honestly looks like it costs three times the price. We are thrilled with it.

For the price, its a nice dark wood shoe cabinet. However, here are some issues: 1. it is very cheaply made. the layer on top is paper, plain paper, over the pressed wood. just paper, not laminate or at least something stronger that computer paper. so if ur fingernail touches it (mine are short) u literally scratch paper off. 2. the directions are terrible. I have put together many pieces of furniture. these hardly have any words, just photos. 3. the nails and alan key have some black oil on them so wear gloves. 4. there is a gap between the doors when u close them. so, if u don't want it to get dusty inside, come up with something to place on 1 of the doors to act as a gap filler. 5. one of my shelves and doorknobs came scratched. i'll be asking for a replacement. other than all those things, it looks pretty and does the job. so i'm keeping it.

Let there be no illusion: This is cheap, made to a cost. It’s particle board with a paper veneer and a handful of metal hardware within an careful framework designed to minimize parts and price. This said, once assembled, it does NOT look cheap at all - I dare say, it actually looks pretty good.Albeit, if the design is excellent for what it is, with some attention to details, the instructions for assembly were written by a confused 8-year-old with poor spatial orientation skills, and should be considered as vague guidelines only. You will need to spend the time familiarizing yourself with the parts and how they connect, dry-fitting everything before committing yourself to nut, screw or nail.Tip #1: If the doors don’t match evenly, your build isn’t plumb and was probably skewed when you nailed in the hardboard backing sheet, the only thing that keeps the unit square. Feel free to remove the dozen nails and try again if this is important to you.Tip #2: Make sure you fasten these doors the right way up before sliding on the top to lock them in; use the magnet holes predrilled in the panel to figure this out. A friend would be useful for this operation.Tip #3: Legs are attached with one peg and one screw. The pegs go in the half holes, the screws in a through holes. A second through hole is for fixing the sides; if you use the peg (half) holes first and rotate the leg, which of the two through hole to use becomes obvious.Anyway, while the assembly was somewhat challenging, it was in no way impossible, and forewarned is forearmed. A ratcheting screwdriver would be your best friend, but basic tools - fixed screwdriver and hammer, plus the included allen key - are all you need to get to a fairly nice result at a modest cost. Just don’t lose anything from the hardware packer, because you get the exact count of everything and not one more.I am quite happy about this little storage dresser. I have it in the kitchen with only the middle shelf in use, storing some of the odds and ends that seem to reproduce and expand territory in there, and from its new home along the wall it does a very good job of being inconspicuously inoffensive to the eye.

production quality is not very good, for example, doors are not in the same level when I close them.installation was not easy and the guide was not described well and it was hard to understand and follow, even sometimes guide sheet was wrong and the user should use his intelligently to understand what to do!I had a big problem to fix back sheet on this cabinet and it's impossible to do it just alone.except these, it looks good and beautiful​ to sight.

Missing the handles and doors are hard to line up straight but decent looking

Great cabinet. Looks really nice and very good quality. Took me about an hour and a half to put together. Would buy another one if needed.

Considering the low cost, this is an excellent shoe cabinet. It holds my summer shoes and, come Fall, I shall put my winter shoes there and store the others!
