I’ve been searching for one of these transforming craft armoires for a while, pricing was always so crazy. This model is not as elaborate as the more costly ones, but just perfect for my sewing station.I love the color. I completely fell in love with the doors. The piece is a very nice cream with some markings that add a nice warn look to the piece. Matches my bedroom furniture nicely.Building: don’t be intimidated by the bag of screws and parts, each part of the bag has markings to let you know which screws/parts are for what.Very detailed explanation on the bag,I think you need to have some knowledge on putting things together, but if you never have, directions are great, it is not hard just follow the book. Building this unit took me alone 5 hours. I do enjoy putting things together. I did need help when lifting it right side up and hanging the doors. That went quick. I did have to unscrew a couple of things, but nothing major. The directions are very clear. Diagrams are very understandable. My mishaps were due to rushing.Pre drilled Holes: everything lined up perfectly.I built this on my wood floor. Directions call for building on carpet or wood I did start on my rug, but I felt the rug/carpet did not allow for accurate placement when matching up holes. Once I moved to the hard laminate floor it really was flawless.Shipping: couldn’t have gone better. I did receive a call from the shipping company to confirm day. The day of delivery I received another call letting me know they were 20 minutes away. They delivered 2 boxes into my entry way. Perfect.The boxes were not huge. 2-flat boxes. Guessing approximately about: 6”thick and 6’ long.Heavy boxes.Packaging: the packaging was really good. The outside of the boxes has a very thick cardboard around all the edging of the boxes. It seriously felt like a wood, to protect the items and boxes.Price: this craft armoire was a bit pricy, but after reading soo many reviews about its functionality I just got it. It’s definitely worth the price. The pieces are solid and the unit is really beautiful.This item is perfect for any crafter.Lots of storage: the bottom of the unit can be tricky to easily get to. I’m an older woman and you do need to get down low to access the bottom shelf. It’s doable and the shelf slides out wonderfully, I’ll just keep things I don’t need often.I thought the unit itself was on wheels, I would have liked that feature, but it’s on my laminate floor so it does slide easy, has plastic sliders.May be harder to slide on a carpet, if you do keep it on a carpet, allow spacing for the doors to open all the way to the sides of the unit. My spot is tight so I do have to slide it each time, so a carpet would not work for my needs. Plan to have space for this piece.It’s very heavy and solid. I love it. Can’t wait to load it up and work.Hope this helped you decide. I highly recommend this unit.
