South Shore Morgan Collection Storage Cabinet, Royal Cherry

The cabinet is attractively made and I love the rich, dark color of the wood. The interior is spacious and it smells good. My husband put this together by himself one weekend while I was away. It took him three hours working at a leisurely pace. We're both impressed with how solid it seems. The hardware, particularly the hinges will probably outlast the cabinet itself and the particle board does not seem like the cheap stuff.

Our only issue with it is that most of the larger sections had small scratches. However, the included furniture marker works well. Unless I look closely, I do not see the scratches.

4 STARS: My husband likes that it helped us avoid the hassle of getting it from the store into our home.

Stay away from this product. Go to IKEA (much better quality) or any local store. Basically, you'll get a higher quality product at a lower price. I guess if you don't have an Ikea or a similar store anywhere near by...

Pros:

Color is a nice darker cherry/

Marker included (more on this later)

Neutral:

Very heavy. At around 125 pounds, I was expecting it to have some solid wood pieces, mixed in with some laminate ones. However, it's all laminate, not one piece of it is made of real wood.

Putting it together was cumbersome but relatively straight forward, you have to hammer in a few pieces (per the instructions) that on other similar products you typically screw in.

Cons:

Every single one of the 10 or so "wood" pieces was scratched. Not one of them came in perfect shape. Vendor is well aware of it, as they send you a brown market to paint over the chipped/scratched sections. The good thing I can say, is that the marker hides those defects effectively. (one of the reasons this gets 2 stars instead of just 1)

Instructions are poor. In one page they will tell you to attached something one way, in the next page the drawing will have them a different way. (the first page was right...)

Hard to align, any slight push from the side readjusts it slightly. lets say align: | | push a bit to accommodate to a corner and it ends up: / / (obviously not that inclined, but it doesn't keep its shape very well).

Expensive. At around 200 dollars, I was expecting a slightly higher quality product. Say a grade or two above Ikea, as opposed to much lesser quality.

If this was made of real wood, (or have at least the outer more visible pieces (say the doors) made of real wood, and scratches were limited, the product would have been a 4 star product. As it stands, given the price tag, and what similar products can be had for at IKEA, I cannot recommend this cabinet.

I must say that I am very satisfied with this product.

As you may deduce from the price and the fact that this is "flatpack" furniture, the wood used is fairly thin and can be scratched/punctured fairly easily. I would not recommend this for storing very heavy objects, or if you have children, pets or anyone/thing else that might play with this.

When the storage cabinet arrived, there were holes in the cardboard packaging. There were also some scratches on the top of the cabinet, so clearly the packing materials used to ship the cabinet needed to be better insulated and the cabinet pieces better protected. However, this was an incredibly heavy product that was fit into a fairly small box, especially when you consider how big the final, assembled product is. It wasn't very easy to assemble but considering the size of the product I expected that.

Nevertheless, I'm very satified with this cabinet. You can store just about anything inside of it, you can easily adjust the distance between the sheleves, they can hold a decent amount of weight, and there are four separate doors to the different corners of the cabinet. Because of the nice color, you can use this cabinet in a living room or bedroom just as easily as you could in a basement or garage. The cabinet can be used to store just about anything that can fit in there.

I highly recommend this product to anyone who feels they need more storage space but has very limited space to put things in (for example, someone who lives in an apartment) and might want additional closet/drawer space in a living room, den or bedroom.

Want South Shore Morgan Collection Storage Cabinet, Royal Cherry Discount?

I recently purchased this storage cabinet along with a desk, and I knew they would both be flat packed furniture. I thought the price would reflect a little bit on the quality of the items I was buying, but it didn't for this cabinet anyway. Here is my list of disappointments.

It is your usual run the of the mill fiber board junk.

The unit came with one of the round aluminum fastener anchors missing.

The unit is packed poorly from the factory and the finish was scratched/scuffed upon arrival.

It does, however, offer a nice amount of storage space, but could be priced about $75-$85 cheaper to reflect the quality of the unit.

If you want a nice cabinet spend the extra money and buy a solid wood unit.
