Inval Kitchen Microwave/Storage Cabinet, Smoke Oak

What I like most is that it was exactly what I ordered and expected. I didn’t expect it to be preassembled. After reading the reviews, I was a little apprehensive about making this purchase. However, I bought it anyway because I liked the look. I checked each item before assembling to make sure I had all the parts. There was one item I didn’t see but there was a note stating it was optional and not needed. So, it doesn’t affect the quality of the product. Once I started putting it together I was concerned with whether or not the doors or drawers would align properly. Well, they didn’t. So, I made adjustments to the screws on the hinges and they aligned perfectly. I say all this to say, I wasted a few good curse words while putting this together because I assumed something would go wrong based on reviews. Then realized I just needed to read the instructions and take time to make the adjustments. This is actually a really good piece of furniture.

Once together this unit is sturdy. All My holes and pre drills were in the right spots. I agree with others, this takes patience to put together. Instructions are correct but only pictures. I was in no rush and put it together slowly using 4 days. I avoided frustration. Well worth it when complete. Plenty of storage. Aligning the doors wasn't too bag. Do final alignments once unit is fully together.

We just finished putting this together. It's not my favorite and it doesn't feel as sturdy as I was hoping. It will do what it needs to do. This is not a piece you buy for a lifetime, you buy it for a short time. The deep drawer isn't actually deep either. The sides are like 4 inches deep but the front is about 8. There is also the big gap between the two bottom cabinets. If I didn't absolutely need the storage, it didn't take so long to put together and it wasn't so heavy I would probably try and return it.Update - less than a month after it being delivered the item started to break. We assembled everything as directed. The drawers started coming apart and it wasn't related to weight as the only thing in our drawer were napkins. We have since returned this item and received a full refund.

After several HOURS of setting this up by myself it looks really nice. There were just a few issues. The instructions are atrocious! Don't let this be the first time you put something like this together! It's literally just pictures on pages stapled together at one corner. No words or actual directions.My one suggestion to whoever is reading this.... put the backing on while laying it on the floor! Don't follow the photo!! I have put together many, many cabinets, bookshelves, etc., in the past and that's how it's always done. I went off the photo in the "instructions", but I kept saying to myself I should go with what I know! Man what a pain it was to put that on by myself while it was standing upright!! Maybe if I had someone helping it wouldn't have been such a pain.Some of the holes were off on one of the doors. I tried adjusting it, but it's just not possible to get it right so I need to create new holes and move the hinge. It's only noticeable when you really look at it, so I'll get that done at some point. The cabinet sits in the basement to hold crafts and such, so no rush.The piece for the top cabinet was a royal pain to put on and get adjusted properly so the door didn't close down on you. I've never seen something like this before. I was thinking a nice shock would have been much easier!Overall, it's a nice cabinet. I have it in the basement rec room to hold my daughter's Cricuit stuff as well as a small microwave. It's a bit pricey in my opinion, but I couldn't find what I wanted on Craigslist or FB Marketplace.

The cabinet works in the kitchen for the storage we needed. However, directions to put it together needs to be a bit better. Some of the pictures are not quite clear. We had to take a few screws out and flip things. Other than that it is sturdy enough for our microwave. Storage is great for our pots, pans and extra plastic containers.

Where do I start is right. So, I needed a cabinet for pet items/pet food/supplies. This looked perfect. I read the reviews over a week's time so I knew what I was getting in to.The BAD: 1) First and foremost, the instructions are junk. Especially page 13/15. While I was able to get this put together over a couple of evenings, as I work during the day, it was not very easy to put together alone, as I did. 2) The worst part for me were the adjustable hinges on the doors. I have never used or installed these type of hinges and no matter what I did on the bigger doors, I could not perfectly align them. Very frustrating. 3) There were no clear instructions on the compass thingy for the overhead cabinet - couldn't make that work. The GOOD: 1) The drawers were quite easy to assemble and that surprised me. 2) Once you put on the back panels, it stabilized the cabinet 100%. 3) It is much more stable and sturdy than I thought it would be. 4) It DOES serve my needs very well - Plenty of storage with varying modes ie: drawers, shelves, cabinets. For the price (I paid $ 229), I think more pieces should have come already put together and the instructions really need some work. BTW, I am a female in my late 40's. Is it worth what I paid considering the work involved in building it? NO. However, it is serving my needs very well.

The cabinet is the hardest thing my husband and I have ever had to put together. It took atleast 5-6 hours. Their were not many predrilled holes, so the doors and drawers are all a little off. It does the job we needed, so I can’t complain too much. It just looks much cheaper than the price we paid for it. If I could go back, I would not have purchased it. One of the drawers has also already broken since assembling it. One of the drawers came with a huge crack in it as well. I contacted the seller and never heard back. I would highly suggest you look elsewhere for a cabinet.
