"I have a number of gripes about this item:
1. The pre-drilled holes for the door hinges are not properly aligned, and even after redrilling the holes and rehanging the doors, I cannot align them so that the doors close properly. If you notice in the product photo, the doors are shown open, but not closed...
2. The hardware on the inside (for keeping the doors closed, etc. does not match the hardware on the outside (one is brass, the other silver). Perhaps this explains why the instruction manual calls this piece a "TV Armoire" although it is being sold as a wardrobe for clothing...add a clothing rod, and voile!, you have a wardrobe.
3. I discovered that the 'wardrobe' is not deep enough to accommodate my wood hangers, which I use for suits and dress pants - making this piece of furniture far less useful than I had hoped. This can also possibly be explained by the fact that apparently it was once marketed as a TV armoire.
4. Several of this thin pieces used for the bottoms of the drawers and the back of the piece arrived very warped, and it was a struggle to flatten them put enough to assemble the piece. The back is significantly bowed, leaving a gap large enough to put my fist through.
All in all, I am very disappointed with this item. I have bought numerous pieces of furniture from Home Decorators in the past, and was happy with the quality. However, this piece looks and feels much cheaper, despite being one of the more expensive items I have purchased."
