My husband had complained so much about assembling this piece. It's huge work and disappointing. We have assembled a few cabinets in the past and surprisingly, this sturdy-looking furniture isn't as strong as it seemed to be. Must not be the lucky ones to get this thru shipping; the door w the glass panel has very visible scratches in front. The cam screws/locks don't hook well. When we put the pieces together and stood it up, 3 or 4 locks fell. We repeated it several times and still won't hold up. The holes are bigger than the joints. We have assembled some cabinets using this kind of locks in the past and we didn't have problems. We might just look for brackets at the hardware store to fix this.It's hard to return cause nearest Target store here is like 35 miles away and it's a heavy piece. I wish they have an assembled piece in the store.The wood though is solid and beautiful.It's the assembly part that's so inconvenient.

Nice looking cabinet, much larger than I expected, which is great for the extra storage I needed for my wine glasses. The picture shows one shelf, but there are actually three. The packaging was very bad, it was obvious that there would be damage. My husband COMPALINED when putting it together because some of the hardware was bent and the pieces did not line up at all. He had to break out some of his own tools to get it together. Two of the shelves and both doors had very noticable damage. It almost looked like I purchased it from a yard sale. If you are lucky enough to receive this product without hardware issues or damage, then it is a good purchase, I just wasn't one of the lucky ones. It was hard to decide on 2 or 3 stars.

I ordered this item in March 2008. It is now the end of October. When I received my Hutch in March the box had some obvious damage, and there was damage to one side, the backing, and some dings on a shelf. I made the mistake of contacting the manufacturer first. I was told that the demand for this item was high, and it would be a while before replacements would be available. After a few weeks I called back and an order was put in for my parts so when they did come in, they would be reserved. A few more weeks I was told the previous person had no clue and no parts would be available for replacement. I was then told to contact Target.com. This was Sept. I finally got a chance to contact Target, and was not happy with my first reps answer, since I'd waited too long, I needed to contact the manufacturer, Target couldn't do anything. I had to write another message through the target.com customer service stating you obviously did not listen to me, I finally got someone to listen, and I was sent another hutch, with instructions to take the parts out that I needed. So now I have to contact Target.com and get this package that weights over 70lbs back to them. I live in an apartment building and will have to coordinate something with my office and who ever is picking up this thing, not to mention getting it down to the office that is so not helpful. The hutch itself, I am happy with, but I must say, the parts from the second one for replacement, not as impressed with. They seem to be getting sloppy with the newer ones. But at least the part I needed didn't have a huge dent in it, but the finish had some roughness that shouldn't be there. And by looking at the box, one would think the piece would be unusable.

I am very disappointed with this cabinet. When it arrived the box was in very bad shape. Sure enough some pieces were damaged. I kept it anyway thinking the damage wasn't that bad and maybe I could hide it. Tried to assemble it. What a joke! Holes and screws didn't line up. The second shelf wouldn't even fit. It was too wide. I must say though, Target is very good about returns. [...]. Hope the box makes it back. I'd take it to the store but no way can I get this in my car. I will look for the cabinet in the store and hopefully can find one already assembled.

I am very happy with my whole experience with this cabinet. Very quick delivery from Target.com and assembly was rather quick as well ( hour 1/2 ) I was very pleased that all the hardware was present and that all the pre-drilled holes lined up beautifully. Real nice classy appearance and tons of storage. The only issue I had was one of the shelves had it's edge slightly damaged apparently during delivery. Very Minor however and was quickly fixed with glue and stain. Would have no hesitation recommending this cabinet.

I was nervous to order a larger and pricier piece of furniture online, but I have been searching for a contemporary glass door cabinet for months and I fell in love with this one. I was not disappointed once we put it together! Assembly was VERY easy yet a tad time consuming (as always with furniture). When it was delivered the box looked a little crushed in some places and in fairly poor condition but the packing was excellent because there is not a scratch on it. I love it and am very pleased with this high-end looking cabinet. Plus, the free shipping deal through Target can't be beat!

I was a little hesitant to purchase furniture from Target, as I was always seeing mixed reviews on the quality and ease of assembly. But, I figured with free s&h and being able to return it to the store, I couldn't go wrong.
Though it is hard to tell in the picture, the glass doors are clear-not frosted. I was wanting frosted glass doors so I did buy some window tinting for this purpose and it worked just fine.
It was very easy to assemble-only two issues. 1) One of the knobs for the door was completely stripped. So, I had to buy a new set of knobs, which was fine because they match the knobs on other furniture I have 2) The doors are not quite straight. This is more apparent with the new knobs I bought because they are bigger than the ones it came with so it is more obvious. But, most people probably wouldn't notice unless I pointed it out so I am keeping this piece.
Overall, I'm pleased with the cabinet and would recommend it. It will give me lots of storage with plenty of adjustable shelves.
