Elite 24" Storage Cabinet

I really wanted a black storage cabinet, but after realizing that all of the black storage cabinets available are flimsy, I decided to get this one and paint it black. This is one sturdy cabinet! It arrived in a big, heavy package, and I had to help the UPS driver get it off her truck. Rather than try to carry it up my driveway, I took a boxcutter and opened it right on my lawn, then carried it up a few pieces at a time. The directions are super-easy to follow, and I decided that it would be fun to complicate things by building a platform on wheels, upon which to erect this mighty cabinet. My husband cussed up a storm, but successfully completed both the platform on wheels and the cabinet assembly in a single afternoon. I would have done it myself, but he commandeered the project under the guise of "helping". Works every time! Seriously, I don't know how we ever managed to live without this cabinet. It holds a ton of stuff, and it looks fantastic! In fact, it looked great in white, with its nice modern handles, so I decided to hold off on the painting. I did, however, add two more shelves, just because I could. This was incredibly easy - I took one of the shelves to my local big orange box store, and had the guy in lumber cut me two more pieces of the shelf material to the exact same size. This was so cheap I thought they must have miscalculated the price, and I got to keep the uncut leftover piece for my next project, a linen closet with adjustable shelves. I bought a little package of shelf peg thingies there, too. Now, the holes for the shelf peg thingies don't go all the way up and down inside the entire cabinet, which means you are slightly limited in your shelf placement, unless you decide to drill more holes. However, it worked out perfectly for me -- I moved both of the movable shelves and their pegs to the highest position, and added my extra shelves and pegs to the lowest positions, which created two extra "mini-shelves" tall enough for cans of soup, boxes of jello, skillets, etc. The four "tall" shelves are plenty tall enough for everything tall, or everything medium, stacked double. Plus, the very top of the cabinet is like another shelf. The total amount of storage space is stunning. I want to get at least three more of these, for the garage, the laundry room, and the extra bedroom where we put assorted items we don't know where to put. "A place for everything, and everything in its place" might actually happen! I can't think of a single negative about this cabinet. If I had to come up with something negative, just so you know it's a real review from a genuine human cabinet consumer, not some fake one written by someone getting paid one-half an American dollar to write fake reviews, it would be that the packaging material is unbelievably sturdy. Seriously, I went through like four blades on my husband's boxcutter thingie, cutting up the packaging material so I could bag it up for the trash guys. In hindsight, I should have removed the shipping labels and put it out by the curb with a big sign, "Hey kids! FREE Clubhouse! FREE Fort!"

This is a quality cabinet! Utility cabinets in this category aren't usually the most glamorous pieces of furniture, but this is the best quality one I've ever bought. I've had ones from Home Depot and other outlets, including some similar things from Ikea, but this cabinet is made better than any of them. The box it arrives in is hideously heavy... UPS has it listed at 121 lbs and the product description says 126 lbs. Just know that no matter how strong you are, lugging this somewhere without a dolly is going to be difficult to do alone. The parts were well packaged and there was no damage to any of them, but one of the doors arrived with glue all over it. It must have been a manufacturing defect that nobody noticed. I contacted the manufacturer and they are shipping me a new one free of charge. Fast, no-hassle service. Assembly took about 35 minutes with a power drill and I did it alone. The instructions are simple to follow and assembly was easy. You'll need a Phillips head screwdriver, and a hammer to nail the back on. The cabinet is pretty sturdy and I have no worries that it will hold the great deal of items I will be storing in it. Two shelves are adjustable. The doors have 6-way adjustable hinges, which helped me eliminated the gap that originally appeared between the two doors. They will also help you make sure there is a tight seal between the doors and cabinet and so the doors are on straight. I like the metal door handles, which look much nicer than the plastic handles that come with most other utility cabinets. The doors have rounded edges, giving it a less utility-like feel to them. I also ordered the top cabinets for extra storage space. I'm glad I found this cabinet, and at a better price than lesser-quality ones at Home Depot.

This is a great cabinet for me because I didn’t want to spend too much money but wanted something that looked nice and was sturdy. I also picked this cabinet because the hardware was similar to the hardware on my existing cabinets. It was pretty easy to assemble. The parts are not labeled but it’s not difficult to figure out which piece is which. It helps to pay attention to the hole count and shading on the images in the directions while assembling to make sure each pieces gets installed in the correct direction. The hinges can be tricky. I’ve had pieces in the past that I, for the life of me, could not align properly. I had success with this cabinet and I think it was a combo of working with these hinges before, having something click for me with these instructions and luck. The only problem was I was missing one of the hinge pieces that attach to the door. Luckily I had also purchased a smaller cabinet that I had planned to use as an open cabinet so I did not need to contact the company to send me the missing part. I was happy it all worked out but would have been frustrated if I didn’t have the extra hinge on hand. All in all I feel like I got my moneys worth and am happy with my purchase!

I bought this and the topper cabinet to store all the garden goodies I canned. I haven't yet loaded all the stuff in it but the cabinet looks sturdy enough to handle my many pint jars. While I was waiting for delivery, I finished reading the reviews. Retrodog gave it 4 stars and explained some of the things he did during assembly....such as using #4 1/2" screws to attach the back. I chose to do the same and I am glad I did. It took less time to assemble and I think it is sturdier. He also suggested a way to mark the back to make it easy to put screws across where the fixed shelf is located. I still have to do a little adjusting of the hinges but I don't regret my purchase. Retrodog also recommended using the sturdier metal shelf pins in a 5mm size...another very good suggestion which I used. I think I will be very happy with this cabinet and the matching topper. I might get a second one in the spring to replace the pathetic cabinet I have in my laundry room. I am a 62 year old woman and I was able to do this project by myself!!!!! I'm sure I'll feel some muscles that don't get much use come morning but it will be worthy it!! Update on 24 November 2013: This cabinet and the topper have been perfect for my needs as a pantry. It is wonderful to be able to keep all my home canned goodies in one place and have a place for the empty jars. My daughter was here for a visit and she was very impressed with the quality of the cabinet. I still need to fine tune the hinges but I'm not too worried about it since they don't gap that much. Very happy I bought these units and plan to buy other furniture by Prepac in the future.

We had purchased two of these for our garage. First one over a year ago and another one back in the Spring of this year. Loved them so much - we decided we needed another! Totally happy with these cabinets. Good quality - not flimsy - and easy enough for my husband to put together. If we had more room in our garage, we'd buy more! Great storage and modern looking with the door handle! Totally recommend!

not quite oak colored but too heavy for me to return. simple enough to put together. my 14 year old son built it for me for contrast my floor is oak and that is what color I thought this would be

Perfect for what I needed in my office. I bought two which fit very nice against a wall. Plenty of room with deep shelves. These cabinets are STRONG! It took me from 0930 am til 0430 pm to unpackage and build both. I’m 68 yrs old and had NO help. They delivered weighing greater than 80 lbs each so I got them in the door from the front porch with great effort. Unpacked them from my foyer and began to build one then the other in my office. They are worth the effort The predrilled holes are correct, no problems. The hardware is high quality and the doors have a clean open and close motion. You are given extra nails, screws and shelving tabs that hold the shelves. You won’t be disappointed! Even my little cat approves!

So I ordered the Prepac BES-3264 Eiltw Storage Cabinet. I have to start by saying it is over priced and do NOT buy. When i first received this cabinet it was missing a hardware packet, customer service was fast to answer so that was a good thing. Then I noticed the pieces were dirty and scratched but I figured no worries I can just wipe it all down and it would look good BUT no. Some scratches I was not able to remove but I wont blame this so much on the manufacturer's, I blame the packaging and shipping. The pieces are made of MDF so it's not the best material especially for the price. The screws do not sit flush on the sides, so they could've done better on the pre drilled hole. The cabinet comes with plastic caps so you can hide the screws on the side but it would be nice if they sat flush. The back of the cabinet is a thin cardboard like piece, not a problem but BS for the price of the cabinet. The clips to hold up the shelves are plastic so we'll see how long those last. And to top it all off after everything was put together and done I noticed there was a chip at the bottom, now this could've been me BUT I am not new at building these types of things. I build the cabinet near where I wanted it so I would only have to move it a foot at the most so if the chip happened because I moved it a foot on a smooth tile floor then that's shows the real quality. The plus sides of the cabinet would be it's very sturdy. Its wide and has multiple shelves so that's good. It would look very nice if my cabinet didn't have scratches. The hinges for the doors are sturdy and easy to adjust to get nice flush doors. And I would say the customer service was quick, not nice but quick. The only reason why I'm not returning this cabinet is because I dont want to have to go through packaging the pieces and finding a way to ship this thing back, especially if I have to bring it to FedEx or ups because I drive a small honda accord and this probably will be a pain in the butt to fit. So if you are reading this DO NOT BUY!!

وصل مجرح ومقشر .. فينش الدهان تعبان وبيطلع فى الإيدين هباب إسود

Très belle armoire spacieuse. Dans les instructions d’assemblage ,il y a des lettres sur les panneaux,mais sur les panneaux ,il n’y a pas de lettre ,donc plus long à assembler. Très solide. Je la trouve parfaite.

Produit de très belle qualité. Cependant les instructions de montage sont déficientes. Alors que chaque pièce est identifiée par un code ( ex: C1) dans les instructions, on ne retrouve aucun code sur les pièces. Il faut se fier aux instructions en anglais car la traduction française contient des erreurs (ex: stud (montant dans un mur) est traduit par clou). Heureusement, c'est relativement facile à monter si on est regarde bien les pièces.

This shelving unit is HEAVY. 100lbs shipped to your door; be prepared to have someone help you move it, or have sliders to drag one end on the ground while it’s still in the box. You’ll need lots of space to build; cut the box down flat so you don’t scratch the finish while assembling. Grab yourself an electric drill, or you’ll end up with blisters screwing in each section by hand. Product is well made and easy to assemble. I had my teenage son do it while I sat back and had a cold drink. This is going in the basement kitchen where storage is minimal. Shelves are nice and deep unlike other units available. I originally looked at one from IKEA but it was pretty flimsy when seeing in person. This fits my criteria and budget.

Clean lines. Well made, easy to assemble. It's held up to 6 months of daily use so far. It is deeper than most of the competing cabinets, so it fits even my biggest pots. It's HEAVY and the delivery guy couldn't get it to my door. Arrived slightly damaged. Fortunately the damage is in an inconspicuous place.
