SystemBuild Kendall 16" Utility Storage Cabinet in Gray

I’m really impressed with this cabinet. It’s the perfect size for my needs. I use it in the kitchen. I placed it next to our refrigerator. The quality is good and I like the quiet close of the door. My son and I assembled the cabinet and it was very easy; I recommend two people to assemble the cabinet. The cabinet and the shelves are study and the right thickness. When we finished assembling the unit, there was an issue with the door alignment; however? My son adjusted the hinges and the door closed perfectly. I highly recommend this cabinet for the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, or anywhere you need a sturdy, attractive cabinet.

My roommate and I live in a small nyc apartment, and we needed more kitchen storage that had to fit in a very specific spot: an alcove just less than 2 feet wide, and about 2 feet deep. We needed something tall to maximize the space. We waited for a while before getting something, but we couldn't be happier with this purchase. It is sturdy, super functional, and relatively easy to assemble. Took about two hours, the instructions were very clear, and everything you needed besides a hammer and screwdriver was there. I haven't written other reviews on Amazon but have had on my list for a while to come back and review this because it is such a good product--good quality, well made. I'll probably be moving around a fair amount in the next few years--no doubt in my mind I'll be taking this with me.

I was shocked at how heavy it was when it arrived! This cabinet is super sturdy, looks nice, and all but the top inside shelves can be removed, leaving room for brooms, mops, and etc. Easy to build with just a Phillips head screwdriver and a hammer, so long as you can handle moving around the 80lb weight of it in box. The build can be swapped, so it will swing open from the left or right. It's quality materials, a nice build. My only criticism is that, while I appreciate the utility, I don't really like the look of the little feet on the bottom -- it would be nice to have a cover to conceal them after setting the cabinet in place -- but if you don't want them, you can also just leave them off entirely.

Strong and sturdy product for the money. Have two suggestions with regard to the instructions: (1) The instructions only show a drawing of how to mount the hinges with respect to placement of the hinges on the left panel; it would be helpful to also show a drawing that shows placement of the hinges to the right panel; (2) The instructions do not provide any narrative that explains how you should actually attach the door hinges to the hinge piece already mounted inside the cabinet. (I found the best way to do this was to remove the 3 hinges from the door and insert them individually into the 3 pieces already installed inside the cabinet. After this, I then held up the door simply pushed the rounded hinge part into the door holes and then turned the 2 holding screws for each hinge starting with the top hinge.)

I was able to put this together by myself except for the very first part where my son had to hold the boards together so I could screw them together, but you can easily prop it up if you're doing it alone. This took a minute to build, but was overall really simple. I feel like it is well made. The only thing about it is that it rocks a little at the top, but it doesn't seem like it's going to collapse. It is also much deeper than I thought it would be, which is great. I'm very pleased and I would buy again.

Arrived with dents and deep scratches all over it. Update: A replacement cabinet also arrived with scratches, but at least these ones are on interior faces. Laminate edge seams had glue smears along their entire length which needed cleaning up, and boards had chipped edges. Scratches don't come from me, I'm careful to place these laminate cabinet parts on towels while assembling so they don't get scratched. The parts are like this right out of the box. One of the reasons I bought this specific cabinet (besides being the only one I could find taller than 67") is it being shown with a left-opening door (right-side hinges, shown in product photo 3 with the dimensions). Well, the assembly instructions are unclear about this. Step 1 has you attaching the hinges to part A (cabinet's left side) and make no mention at all about optional placement on part B (cabinet's right side) for right-side door attachment. Part B is pre-drilled for hinges, but optional right-side placement isn't mentioned anywhere in the instructions booklet. Luckily I'm smarter than the average flat-pack manufacturer and was able to figure this out and "disobey" the step 1 instructions. You get what you pay for? This cabinet is over $120 and I've bought cabinets half that price with better manufacturing quality than this one. I don't recommend the SystemBuild brand at all!
