Elite 32" Wall Cabinet, Black Storage Cabinet with 1 Adjustable Shelf for Kitchen, Bathroom, 12" D x 32" W x 30" H, BEW-3230

This is a quality cabinet. Utility cabinets in this category aren't usually the most glamorous pieces of furniture, but this (along with its larger counterpart, the Prepac Elite Collection 32-Inch Storage...

The cabinet is very sturdy and easy to put together. The door hinges were a challenge to adjust and the instructions could have had more guidance. The packaging had protection in strategic places to protect the components and extra reinforced tape on the ends of the box to survive the rough shipping conditions.

This cabinet was easy to put together. It was not missing any parts. It was a good size for the price that I paid. It has a nice clean look and is very sturdy. I am thinking of buying another for the other side.

This product line really is great for what it is. I would much rather buy real wood furniture. But real wood cabinets are much more expensive, obviously. I just needed something that would work for a craft room. I don't think I could have found a better option that was both this affordable and this sturdy. It hits the perfect middle ground. Based on touching things in the store, I think these are a more sturdy option than the press-board kitchen cabinets you can buy at the big-box home improvement stores. It's a miracle these get delivered without lots of damage. The storage cabinet in particular is very heavy, and mine arrived with an exploded box. But only one corner of one door was damaged. I contacted Prepac and they sent out a replacement for free immediately. The fact that nothing else was damaged was a testament to the toughness of the veneer on these and also the packaging, which was stellar. I think the veneer is made of rhino skin. One cabinet had two pretty deep dings on the edging and they didn't manage to break through it. I kept the pieces as they were because you can barely tell after the doors are put on. Assembly is really easy. I was expecting it to be a pain like other press-board furniture, but really, it was fast and the end result is sturdy. It's hard to not get it mostly square with the assembly method they use. I will always hate myself when buying press-board furniture, but if I have another need for it in the future, I would buy these again probably without even shopping around. There is one slight annoyance with the wall cabinets. When you install two next to each other, you clamp them and screw them together. But the screws you used to attach the sides to the bottoms and top hit either other, so you don't get a snug line all the way up. At the very top and very bottom you get a small gap, in the middle the cabinets touch. You may be able to see it in my picture from below. This material is not really made to countersink your screws, then your screw would be resting on press-board instead of the rhino-tough veneer. For this price I don't care and wouldn't knock off a star for it, but be aware you will hit that.

Well engineered with all the holes lining up and no hardware issues. Took me about 1/2 hour a unit and I got 4 of them. I am put them on top of the taller unit in this style. I feel I should address some other pointed out issues. 1. It is a box, with only 9 pieces in the shipping box. 2 side panels with lots of holes, a top and a bottom with holes only on the edge, two doors, a back and a shelf with no holes and two back supports. Line up all the brown edges, keep the holes on the inside and there you go, no instructions needed. The pictures provided in the box show all of this. 2. The back in not cardboard, it in HDF. Look it up. Since it has no weight on it, so what? It looks nice. 3. If the bolts are tight and the back in nailed on it is very rigid. 4. I was itchy when I was done putting 4 together, I took a shower. 5. Packaging was very good and no damage was on the finish. 6. The hinges are six way adjustable, if the door doesn't line up go on Youtube and see how to use these. Mine are perfect. 7. The shelf is MDF, look it up, I put wood 1x1 wood strips screwed under the shelf to keep it in tension in the front and back, no sagging. 8. I mounted these to the wall with screws and a large washer to studs in the wall. They are not coming out. If I were going to use them free-standing on the wall I would put a 1x1 cleat on the bottom back for support. You will hardly see it. 9. There was a new thing smell when I put them up but that is gone after a day. It is in a 12x7 room closed up. My new truck smelled longer than these did. I do not have any super ninja building skills and these worked out great. Take your time and look at the pictures on the paper. The finish looks good and I think they are well made.

I purchased this for extra clothes storage in our bedroom. It matches the Drifted Gray headboard and dresser we had purchased previously. Assembly was easy and the quality appears to be good. The only thing I didn't like is that the company only has holes pre-started (not drilled through) for placing the handles at either the top or bottom. I wanted them in the middle but an option for placing them there was not provided by the company. As such, I carefully laid out and made my own holes to place the handles where I wanted them to be. Not a big issue and other than that it is a very nice cabinet and I would not hesitate recommending it.

The only reason I kept this over priced particle board crap is because it was the exact size I needed for the top of a rack in my garage. It did come well packaged but with tons of dust and paint bits. The instructions were just barely a step above IKEA and the "wood" sections were NOT marked at all. I mean, common sense and looking at the pictures does give an idea of what piece goes where but how frustrating! The holes all lined up well at least so that's a good thing. HOWEVER!! THERE ARE PROBLEMS with these cabinets - First of all, as mentioned, the instructions are vague but manageable. The pieces not marked... okay not a deal breaker. Took very little time to put together and I'm almost 70 yrs old. BUT, the gap between the doors is ridiculous! I worked for about 30 minutes just fiddling with the hinges to properly fix that gap. No amount of adjustment made that gap go away. So, I went to YouTube to see if maybe there's something I need to do additionally. Nope, I'm spot on with doing the right thing to adjust the hinges. The reviews here and also the pictures mention and show a gap in the doors and so other buyers are having this issue as well. So, it's definitely not me but rather the manufacturing. The gap is unsightly and low quality looking not to mention that it allows dust inside the cabinet which is what I was trying to avoid when I bought a cabinet with doors instead of just shelving or a metal storage rack. It also has an open back but I had a piece of lightweight board that I was able to cut and fit onto the back easily. If you don't hang it on a wall, just know that the "solid" cabinet is open in the back. Now, a HUGE problem that I have to mention is the shelf supports... the supports are tiny plastic weak supports and will not hold the shelf with much weight for long. I replaced them with some extra metal supports left over from another project. I'd suggest replacing the provided ones with sturdier ones that you can find at any hardware store. But, really, why should anyone have to pay extra for better hardware when a premium cost cabinet should supply sturdier supports? I can't believe the nerve of this manufacturer charging so much for this cabinet. It's so low quality! IKEA had cheaper options for particle board cabinets but just not the size I needed. I will say that the one redeeming quality of this cabinet is the handles. The cabinet handles are very nice, heavy and make the cabinet look more high end than it is. Overall, I do not recommend this cabinet unless, like in my case, it's the exact size you need. Believe me, I searched for cabinets to get the size I could use and this was the closest. I even searched metal storage to no avail. Otherwise, this would have been returned.

Strong and sturdy. Easy to assemble and install. Stylish at a great price.
