BOWERY HILL 4-Shelf Glass Curio Cabinet Display Case in Black

Looking at these reviews for display cabinets, you'd think it was a nightmare of an experience to put these together, but lo and behold it's mostly an exaggeration or a lack of trying on their part.I tend to do a lot of research before making a big purchase and so I was very reluctant to just buy any cabinet considering the fact the go-to product from IKEA (the detolf) was no longer produced and the variants on their site was egregiously expensive with their shipping (I unfortunately do not live near enough to a IKEA). Doing said research it quickly seemed like a scary endeavor to make sure the glass was delivered with care and the instructions were understandable enough. I was worried about nothing. At least with this specific product.I received mine exactly a week from when ordered. All parts came in perfectly fine. I had the cabinet taken out of its box and assembled within a hour or so. Honestly expected this to be a 2 hour plus endeavor and it really wasn't. If you pay enough attention to the instructions, it shows you everything you need to do. It wouldn't literally spell it out with text, but if you've done any Lego or Bionicle assembly as a child it's pretty much the same difficulty which is not that bad. Just don't try to rush it and you won't have to back track. I will admit I needed a friend to balance a piece once or twice here and there to screw something in correctly and there was a couple "challenging instances", but again nothing crazy. Everything you need for assembly is in the box. It felt like a simple enough experience overall and I largely did 90% of the work completely by myself. Paying attention to the pictures and slowing down the process of throwing it together is the biggest key here.Also some advice to help make the process easier. I'd grab the bag of bits and screws and preemptively start separating them by their numbers and respective piles. Organizing them like this will do wonders for you, trust me. That's probably partly why people feel so overwhelmed when they do these is they just try to blindly finger thru the bag and figure out which screw is which.I'm very happy with how this turned out and I think the negative opinions of other people on putting these together braced me so much for the task of putting it together that it inversely came out as a brisk nonchalant experience. In a sea of detolf knock offs to be sifted through for the average collector or Warhammer fan without a nearby IKEA, this has my seal of approval.

I love this modern curio cabinet. It has a great look to it and keeps my Harley Quinn collectibles safe from my cats but I can enjoy looking at them from every angle. It wasnt very difficult to put together and doesn't feel flimsy in any way.

Great display case! My husband loves it, but true to the reviews, putting it together is a pain in the butt! I’d put one step together and in the next step, it would clarify something from the previous step! Then I would have to remove and fix, but it looks great once done. It’s just what he wanted. Also, this thing IS SO HEAVY! The delivery guy could barely bring it in, and it took both my husband and I to take upstairs. It is a very sturdy product though and the tempered glass is sturdy. The final product is worth the assembly headache.

Seller shipped item very quickly, was surprised when item arrived so fast. Very nice cabinet, heavy glass, not the thin, cheap glass you get with a lot of cabinets. Will buy another one when we need it.

The amazon listing shows that this display cabinet is Bowery Hill brand. However, the packaging actually says it's a Coaster brand display cabinet. The cabinet looks like the picture so I'm not sure what the deal is with the different branding. Part of the reason I'm giving this a one star review is because it's so difficult to put together. You will definitely need two people to do so successfully. One thing to note is that all the glass panels are different sizes. The panels aren't labeled themselves and they aren't labeled in the manual. You will most likely find out you've assembled it wrong halfway through and will have to start over. This is very frustrating. The quality of the display cabinet itself is big-box store at best. Don't expect anything fancy here. This cabinet is very underwhelming.

I absolutely love this curio cabinet. It’s roomy. Was easy to assemble and it’s sturdy! Love it!

Surprised they came undamaged. Easy to put together. If I had any complaints it would be nice to have 4 shelves not just 3. And a light. But how often do you use the light?

It was fairly easy to put together, but the glass was not labeled, ended up w door on back, had to remove top to access and basically start from beginning! Labeling the glass wld have eleviated that headache! Overall I'd buy again!
