Leslie Dame High-Capacity Inlaid Glass Mission Style Multimedia Storage Cabinet, Oak

Been looking for a nice bookself, and came across this one, checked the reviews and all were pretty good. So i decided to buy it, when i got it, the assembly was straight forward, well packaged so nothing was damaged. Great quality wood, very solid. Took me almost an hour to put it together. Looks very nice, the only thing is that when i stand it up with nothing inside, and if you pull the on the door a little hard there is a tendency to tip forward, it almost fell on me until i caught it. But other than that very happy with my purchase.

I am very pleased with this case. I bought it to use as a medicine cabinet, and it is perfect for me.I have zero mechanical aptitude and was able to assemble this quite easily. Every hole lined up perfectly, and it is well designed. I was nervous about the glass doors and they were as easy to install as the rest. It looks beautiful.The case came packaged in a double box and was in perfect condition, with all the parts. The instructions are by drawing only, which probably helped someone like me.I placed it in my walk in closet, and it is the first thing you see. It fit perfectly under the top shelving and between the brackets. Empty, it does seem to wobble when opening the doors, however, I will use 3M heavy duty hangers and not put holes in the wall. I will also add 1/8" risers under the front of the cabinet for additional support.It is beautiful and I can't wait until my hubby sees my work!

This is a very attractive, high quality cabinet. Fit and finish exceeded my expectations. However, it is not wood; it is MDF (medium density fiber board--sometimes referred to as sawdust board.). The MDF is covered with a very thin, attractive walnut veneer. The color is medium dark, not the golden oak shown in some of the pictures. We found it to be a pleasing color. The hinges and other hardware are high quality. MDF is used for all sections except the back, which is fiberboard, similar to Masonite, coated with wood grain paper. The handles are mission style, made of cast aluminum, with an attractive flat black finish. Assembly requies care.We ordered two of these cabinets, and the glass was a near interference fit on the length dimension for all doors. To install it I had to put one end in, then slightly bow it up the middle to allow the other end to slip in. The small glass-retaining clips for the glass can be over-tightened. I put a dollar bill between the clip and glass, then tightened the screw until there was a slight drag on the dollar bill. As noted in another review, installation of the doors can be daunting. I found the following to work reasonably well: With the glass pre-installed, install the hinges loosely on the door, then put the hinges in the open position. Now select 2 or 3 coins to suit, for a shim at the corner where the door meets the side panel. Rest the door in the open position on the coins, then work the hinges into the pockets on the side panel. Once positioned, start at the top and loosely tighten the screws. After all hinge screws have been lonely tightened, gently raise up on the door and remove the coins. Keeping light pressure-up on the bottom of the door, snugly tighten all the hinge screws. This may sound hopelessly complex, but once you have the pieces in hand it should make sense. With everything assembled the next challenge is how to mount the cabinet to the wall, a necessity because it is both shallow and tall. The hardware includes two small slotted plates with no reference as to what they are. They are hangers that are used to hang heavy picture frames. I don't think this is a practical solution for mounting the cabinet to the wall. I chose to mount a baseboard-thick spacer behind the brace that is half way up the back of the cabinet, then screw from inside the cabinet, through the cabinet brace and the added spacer into anchors in the wall. I then added two plastic bumpers on the back side of the cabinet at the top (thick enough to have a little interference with the wall) to stabilize the installation. There are other ways to deal with the door installation and wall mount. After deciding on what works for you, when you are finished I think you will be pleased, it makes an attractive, practical solution for DVD storage.

It is very beautiful in color, design and style. However at the time of purchase the dimensions were not available and it appeared larger than it really was. However, the wood quality is not as sturdy as one would expect it to be for the hundreds of dollars I paid for it. after emptying it and moving it for the first time in years part of the wood broke very easily, didn't help me that it was way too front heavy! That may also be in part on my error. but I feel like it should have been able to withstand the slight pressure I applied.I have purchased mostly cheap furniture from wal-mart throughout my life, and was tired of having low quality items. SO I spent the extra on this cabinet and am now very disappointed. it is not worth the money and I wish I had never purchased this item.

The doors are made of pressed paper covered with very thin veneer. Side walls are pressed wood or particle board covered with very thin veneer. No instructions on how to put it together. The back is pressed paper covered with contact paper. Came to me damaged. Took 2 emails and a phone call to get the replacement parts. I rate this as POOR for the PRICE!!!
