Muti Use and Affordable

Date:May 11, 2013
"I bought this to help store baking items since my home didn't have much cupboards. I found it great for that but then bought two more because the price was right and ended up using then for linen cupboards. It was also easy to assemble."

Cheap

Date:February 25, 2013
"I am glad I didn't pay full price for this item, very low quality. Lots of storage, but just wondering how much the shelves will be able to hold before sagging or the little plastic anchors break. The best part of the whole thing are the hinges and the door handle."

Worst Quality Ever

Date:February 6, 2013
"This w-is a nice looking unit. I bought it on sale for $109. It still seemed like a lot of money, but I figured it was well made. It was not well made! The door panels are cardboard like the back, and the wood is a very low end press board. You can hardly tighten the screws or they strip. I would not recomend this product even if it were on sale for $50.00. The regular price is $150.00."

Perfect fit!

Date:August 18, 2012
"Moved into a very large basement apartment but kitchen cabinets were minimal. I bought two of these units which flank my stove. They serve as a dry pantry and appliance storage. AND they match the existing cabinetry. They are sturdy and practical and suit my needs perfectly!"

Nice Product

Date:July 3, 2012
"I bought two of these, one white for extra bowls, skillet, popcorn maker, etc. for the dining room and this one for the kid's movies, crafts, magazines, catalogues, etc. It's very nice to have the adjustable shelving for large or odd size kitchenware, crafts, books or what have you.
The quality is ok too. Over time the shelves started to sag slightly but for the weight that we put on them it's understandable. Also, from my experience the kind of material the shelving is made of (particle) is prone to sagging.
Save yourself a few bucks and wait for this to come up in CT's regular rotation of sales flyers.
I would recommend this to a friend."

Came Back For More

Date:May 4, 2011
"We bought this cabinet to use as a pantry in our kitchen about a month ago. We were so happy with it, and impressed by how much it could hold, we went back and bought another for our kids playroom and filled it with books and toys. Would recommended using metal brackets to fasten it to the wall."

Questionable quality

Date:March 12, 2011
"Although the display model had solid particle wood doors, the one I bought had particle board frames and cardboard inserts. The back board is also cardboard so moving this unit will require some tact.
Also, the finish is easily scratched.
Assembly took about an hour and was relatively easy. Hinges are likely worth more than all the rest of the parts.
Looks good at a distance.
I would expect solid doors and a decent back board at this price."

Bought Two Of Them

Date:January 9, 2011
"I did quite a bit of searching at 4 or 5 retailers before I bought my first unit last August at CTC. Overall, I found this cabinet/pantry to be the best value and had the most features for a basic inexpensive storage unit. It is quite attractive, easy to assemble and sturdy. I was very impressed by the storage room. It is made of particleboard with a very thin laminate. The thin laminate didn't surprise me since all comparable products seem to be made this way now. The shelves are 5/8" thick and seem to carry fairly heavy loads pretty well. The packaged unit itself is very heavy and tightly packed. Two people will probably be required to carry it from the store into your vehicle. There may be some difficulty actually fitting the package into a regular car; I used a minivan. Overall, I was very pleased with the unit. I recently bought a second one. I use one as a kitchen pantry and the second to store books, CD's, DVD's and PC accessories."

Was expecting better

Date:March 1, 2010
"As many have mentioned, at this price it's hard to go wrong. Unfortunately in this case there are too many problems too ignore.
1) The finish is literally pealing off many of the corners.
2)Many of the drilled holes are stuffed with saw dust (a pain to empty)
3)The door frames are fine, but the centre's are made of flimsy quasi cardboard.
4)The backboard is really a paper-like sheet. (definitely not what usual backboards are made of)
It's really hard to believe that B&D couldn't have improved the quality of the materials without breaking the bank. I generally put much faith in Canadian Tire products. But in this case I would definitely recommend spending a little more and buying a better product."

Very Useful!

Date:January 11, 2010
"We liked this pantry so much we purchased 2 more...1 for food, 1 for dishes and cookware, and one for towels. We do not have a single closet in out house so these have proven to be the largest but also the sturdiest.
I did assemble the 1st one alone but it was much faster with another person.
Only 2 cons - I would have liked the pantry a couple inches deeper and the doors were really hard to get perfectly closed and level."

Excellent Value

Date:September 9, 2008
"We purchased two of these units to replace closets that had been taken out of our home. One is our new linen cupboard and looks GREAT! The other is our new front hall closet and we added a hanging bar to put our coats on. We were also able to get them on sale at $99.99 each...."

Good Purchase

Date:June 4, 2008
"Good quality for the price, especially on sale. Good looking and easy to assemble. There was a gap between the doors but the hinges are adjustable to take up the gap. Ony small annoyance - hinges were difficult to adjust as adjustment screws were stiff."
