Great CabinetChristianLooks great in person, good color and even texture. Was kind of fun to assemble. Bring back the green one!5
Simple, elegant design albeit wonkyDianaOverall pleased with the cabinet, relatively straightforward assembly, final product simple and elegant with ample storage. That said, it was a bit wonky. If not set on completely level surface, panels shifted and door wouldn't close smoothly. The construction of cabinet body relies heavily on these metal tabs you have to bend into place rather than a lot of screws. I think if the cabinet used more screws in places, the overall product would not be prone to shifting.4
Glad I bought itJohnWhen I saw this in the showroom I wasn't very impressed. It seemed pretty flimsy. But I bought it anyway (the red one) and am so glad I did. I don't know why, but mine seems much more stable and durable than the one in the store. Maybe the IKEA people didn't bend all those little metal tabs? I'm not too wild about the way the doors are set up: the left door has to be closed in order for the right door to close. But that's a small price to pay for a very attractive and very useful cabinet which looks great on my patio.5
Perfect sizePamWe purchased this for our patio to store away sprinkler, gardening tools, pots, etc, but keep them accessible. It's profile makes it easy to tuck under the window & not take away patio space.5
Almost perfect, but door alignment will make or break some buyers Justinthis cabinet it's cute and fits well in any space that needed storage. The metal feels durable. The paint job is aesthetically pleasing.
Here’s my criticism—The hinges are held together by allen wrenches, and the metal pieces are secured using tabs that you have to fold in with a screwdriver. I carried on and folded the dinky metal tabs, plopped in the Allen wrench hinges, and added final touches that include a locking mechanism and magnets. HOWEVER— the doors are crooked!! This did bug me at first. Many others witness the same flaw, but I chose to live with it. Wabi-sabi. This will be a huge dealbreaker for some. It’s impossible to get the doors to line up. the lack of fine tuning, unlike ikea’s living room consoles, is disappointing.
While this serves looks in style, it falls short on quality. I don’t recommend this unless you enjoy the dimensions and vibe of this piece. Otherwise, it’s totally fine to skip this and avoid the pain and headache. It’s also quite pricey. 3
Lovely colourPatriciaLooks good. Front one of cabinet with a shallow dent. Door apparatus imperfect on one.4
PerfectLisaI happen upon this cabinet in the as-is section. It's very sturdy and fit perfectly in my bathroom.5
Surprisingly niceDanielaGreat cabinet. Wasn’t sure about the metal but if I get tired of it inside will work great as a planting station outside. Easy to put together, seems sturdy. The doors will need a little wiggling so they sit even/right.4
flimsy assemblyRosalooks super cute, but the doors are crooked and did not align at all. I had to force it to close tight3
Assembly nightmareSuzanneI’ve been assembling ikea products for 40+ years. This one was a disaster. Finished product looks good, fulfills the need for which it was purchased, but don’t try this alone. You need at least 4 hands to put it together.4
Basic but greatSusanThese are perfect for housing all the items for indoor/outdoor plants. I purchased 4 for the backyard; installed locking caster wheels (8 mm threaded stem), so they are mobile and about 2.75" inches taller. I plan on using them as a work surface, so the additional 2.75" helps. The neutral beige color is basic, but perfect for an outdoor cabinet.
I also purchased a Tostero cover, to shield them from the elements (they are rated for outdoor use, but they are not waterproof). I have bags of soil and soil amendments, within 1 cabinet, so keeping it free from rain is necessary.
Easy to assemble, all 4 cabinets were completed within 2 hours, by one individual.
Not all of the doors align properly. I had to use washers to ensure the door would clear the bottom shelf to close entirely.
Hopefully with the Tostero cover, these cabinets will last for a while.5
KolbjornMargieThis is placed it in my kitchen, but what I like mostly is the color, beautiful. At first I had some difficulties putting it together but I took my time and I didn't together.5
Solid but leakyJamesNice solid attractive product; easy to assemble; a lot of water gets inside the cabinet when it rains (have it on a deck.)4
Beautiful product with lots of rough edges.ChrisI want to like this product, but it has a lot of questionable design decisions. First, it is stackable, but they don't include something like a rubber mount to preserve the paint job. Second, the metal is flimsy including metal tabs that you have to pull into place. This makes the locking mechanism questionable. Third, the paint wears when in direct sunlight. It's a beautiful color but at the end of the day it's just a locker.
Pragmatically, do I like that the shelving is adjustable which I wasn't expecting.
Oh, and IKEA is famous for their no-language instructions, and this product has the worst assembly instructions of any IKEA I've ever assembled.3
Perfect for our PatioHeatherThis was just the solution we needed for our patio. We have it by our grill and are using it as an outdoor buffet for entertaining.5
Sturdy CabinetVerified BuyerI have this cabinet outside and it's held up well to the elements. The spray coated color has not faded in the direct sun. Great product so far..5
Neutral heavenLyudmylaWe are renting an apartment with grayish beige walls and this blends in beautifully. White furniture can be an eye sore when overdone so having a piece in this sturdy material is a very nice addition to my small furniture collection. I will probably buy more stuff from this range as I really like the creamy color. My bf assembled this in less than an hour.5
I wish I could say I'm delighted with this pieceANTONELLAI wish I could say I'm delighted with this piece but, it's been more than two weeks since I called customer service to send me a replacement for a defective leg and I haven't received it yet. The parts are still in a pile in my dining room. Case number 652721781
Cheap POSEricThis is not even close to as nice as the images. The lines are not clean, the doors sag, and the doors don’t even close flush. I would return it if I could.1
Cheap, Frustrating “Design”AustinThis was the only cabinet I could find for outdoor use that wasn’t over $400, but of course you get what you pay for. I appreciated the warnings in other reviews about being careful to keep the back and sides separate during assembly. It still took a really long time to get it assembled. But what absolutely drives my blood pressure through the roof is the way the doors are designed. They use an L-shaped pin that slides through a brace on the top and bottom, and then into a hole in the cabinet frame. Any slight movement of a door will cause the top pin to fall out. Sometimes it falls out on the ground, and I have to search for it. Sometimes, it falls into the cabinet. And it never fails—if this happens with one door, once I secure the pin back in place and open the other door, it happens with that one too. I’m going to try taping them in place, but I’m too frustrated by putting them back on over and over again. Invest in something that wasn’t designed on the cheap.1
