Sauder Select Multipurpose Bedroom Armoire Wardrobe Closet Pantry Storage Cabinet with Storage Drawers and Hanging Rail, in Soft White finish

This wardrobe storage unit has been a perfect solution for organizing my clothes and keeping them off the floor, which was exactly what many people here probably need. The price is reasonable considering the functionality you get, people may wish it could be a bit less expensive - but this is pretty good comparatively. Keep in mind, that this is not a solid pine, $3,000 piece of furniture—it’s sturdy and practical, but made from manufactured materials. You shouldn’t expect the look or feel of genuine wood grain. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and feel it’s a much better choice than cheaper, flimsier options. I suggest- thank me later - purchasing battery-powered, motion-sensor, stick-on lights. Trust me—these lights make a big difference.

It went together easy enough and I didn't have to do too much extra work to align the doors. The top drawer came out crooked but tightening the screws holding the rails to the structure helped mostly straighten it out. Also, the handles were really hard to install the screws and one of them sheared off in the handle. I'm guessing the handles are low quality as the screws look fine. If you have the tools, you should retap the holes in the handles before installing. I'll likely replace them anyway so it's not a big deal for me. Once it was mounted to the walls, it felt really sturdy. I was a little concerned over some of the reviews about build quality but other reviews made it seem like many people just weren't following directions. Notes on assembly: I used an electric drill with the torque set low so that I didn't strip the holes as some of the wood is low quality. The structural pieces are good MDF so it should last for some time. I mounted the cabinet to the walls and caulked the edges. If your floor isn't 100% even, the cabinet will lean and cause the doors to be crooked. I used wood shims to even it out before screwing it to the walls and then caulked around the bottom to hide the shims. If you mount the cabinet like me in a corner, you'll have to cut out any baseboard behind as well as possibly trim off a corner of the bottom drawer. I skipped using the anti-tip strap and just put a screw through the rear top board on the inside into a stud. I put another screw through the side top board into another stud. If the drawers make a lot of noise and feel like they are hitting something, tighten the screws on the rails as they are likely sticking out a little. Make sure you use the right holes for the rails as it will make the drawers very crooked if you use the wrong ones. I didn't use the hanger rail since I plan on adding some other kind of shelves to that section.

Mostly good, some not so fantastic points though. I got this for a “broom closet” solution and found a damaged box through Amazon warehouse so it was only $185. For that price, it’s worth it. Had I paid full price though (which was almost $300 when I bought mine), I think I’d be disappointed. It functions really well, has ample storage and solves the lack of closet problem we had (we did have to leave out the shelf in order to fit the broom and vacuum)... the doors are thin and rather flimsy, though. The top isn’t finished at all, which isn’t a huge deal except it seems for that price point, it should be. We can see the top because it’s next to the knee wall on our stairs to the second floor, so it’s just something to note if you’d also see the top. (We plan to put a top on it like a wood counter or something). All in all it’s decent but it should cost less than $200, imo. Check the warehouse before you pay full price ;)

I want to start this review out by saying that this is probably the 6th or 7th piece of Sauder furniture I have purchased. I was hesitant to believe the negative reviews because every other piece of Sauder furniture I have purchased has been beautiful, strong, and durable. I also didn't believe the negative reviews because I have found that quite often they are left by people who found themselves overwhelmed during the assembly of products like this. My husband tears down and rebuilds perfectly balanced multi-million dollar machines for a living. SO assembly was no problem for us either. After reading the reviews I gave him a warning to be very exact and watch for certain things that were mentioned. He took his time and worked very precisely with all of the appropriate tools. I should have seen it coming right out of the gate when we picked one of the long panels up and it bowed in the middle terribly, but we continued on, hoping that stability would come with more weight and pieces. -I couldn't have been more wrong. The finished product is terrible. Sure it is a nice design and roomy but the top drawer rubs the door above it, the two drawers have to be constantly adjusted to work right and the whole thing looks as if it will fall apart with just a few light things in it. I would love to just re-adjust a few things to fix it but the wood is SO thin that there is very little room for adjustment. A shelf was broken right out of the box, and upon calling the company and voiceing my concern, I was told "all of our furniture is built the same, I'm not sure why you are having a problem with this piece." So basically I am out $250+ stuck with something that is falling apart and if it weren't so much trouble I would pull this thing apart and send it back to Amazon. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't waste your time or money! I am beyond dissapointed in the Sauder Company. I looked to them for inexpensive furniture for many years. I will not make that mistake again. Update! 3/15/23 It didn't last long. We burned it 6 months ago because there was no help for it. Never buying Sauder again. They don't stick by their products.
