Mega Tall Cabinet in 6 Shelf

Assembly is more difficult than you might think - clearly it's better suited for a two-man job. The instructions are not as clear as you might wish, too. They didn't even mention the two front handles - I had to figure it out and force them in place, and I'm not sure they are right - they almost seem backwards to what I'd want, but I couldn't force them into place in that orientation.EDIT: Later, I used more force, pounded with a rubber mallet, and twisted the plastic much more and they finally fit as I thought they should, and holes lined up so you could lock the cabinet now with a padlock (not included) if you felt the contents worth protecting to that degree.The screws in plastic - they should mention there is no point in tightening them too much. Not all parts are clearly labeled. I wish the shelves had some adjustability. Each shelf 10" apart doesn't allow one to have taller items, unless you ditch at least one of the shelves entirely and leave it out - then you can have one 20+" shelf. At the time they offered the same cabinet but with 4 shelves instead of 6, but they wanted like $200 MORE for it, so that was just weird. They should offer the cabinet at $X, plus $Y for each shelf you actually want, but they don't.The force required to assemble this with a rubber mallet was sufficient to slightly deform the plastic. Not too badly, but enough to notice upon close examination, so use lighter but more frequent taps.The worst are the doors. They do not hang properly or give you a smooth action. They are hard to open/close, stick and jerk, and probably aren't perfectly square and level with one another, one door slightly higher than the other or at a slight angle. I'm not sure why - all tabs and slots are in place, the floor and shelves are level, and still, it's off a bit. Unfortunately, the lone middle hinge on each door are not adjustable so you can't change the door height or position to fix that, so that's another problem.It's quite a sturdy unit, and each shelf holds up to 200 pounds, they say. And yet, while it doesn't seem like it would come apart, there is some play or give in the unit as you move it or rock it to and fro.Since the doors aren't as smoothly operating as you might wish, this unit is more suitable to usage that requires less frequent access, like once a week, as opposed to several times a day, like for a kitchen pantry. Even then, it could be worse - the doors will stay open or closed where you put them, so it can be used as a pantry. You just have to wrestle with the doors a bit harder than you should have to.Good, but not great.

The price should be about $150. This is made from thin plastic with very limited metal reinforcement on the front edge of the shelves. The provided screws bite on thin plastic and will easily strip out. The integrity of the system is highly questionable. The side panels are flimsy and flexible. If/when they flex, the shelves lose their purchase and can fall.The first time I closed the right door it caught on the right side panel, flexed it out about an inch and all the shelves fell to the ground. Need I say more?(And, no, it was not user/assembly error -- this thing is cheap and only becomes semi sturdy when the shelves have enough weight on them to prevent the side panels from popping out and flexing ... is that the bet you want to be making with anything fragile or valuable?)For $400 I'd expect something with more inherent structure. Avoid this product, or regret it.

The bottom piece did not fit, almost there but not exactly, I tried several different ways and re-started the assembly couple of times but could not get it to fit. The grooves did not line up with the edges of the side panels. It could be a user error, I don't know, but I continued putting it together anyway. I wanted it to work, it looks good and the material feels sturdy with lots of space and many shelves. The assembly was supposed to be simple and fool proof; with few steps everything clicks into place! except, that did not work for me.I am using it now but the bottom is still not attached, the weight of the stuff I put in it is holding it in place. The doors are hard to open and close, it screeches against the bottom every time I open/close them; but it worked. Yesterday the doors would not open and I had to force them to open! the whole cabinet started wobbling. I tried to call the company but the timing was not right. I am passed the return date by about 11 days!I paid almost $500 and I hope Suncast guarantee the cabinet and help me figure it out when I get hold of someone.

I put together 2 of the Mega Tall cabinets by myself.In one there were not enough screws for the supports and the other one there were way too many.However, that was not a problem for me. I had a little problem getting the top of the 1st one to line up but once I tapped with a mallot andworked on it a little it was fine. The instructions are very clear, the cabinets are very nice, sturdy, and have a sliding door latch on top and bottom.They delivered on the day that was stated to me, and actually were here 30 minutes earlier than the time stated. I bought one 4 shelf and one 6 shelf. If you use the 6 shelf then the shelves are only about 9 1/2" space between them in height. I love the Brown ones but I understand they come in Platinum and Dark Grey.I'm ordering a third one today.

Our company originally ordered 2 commercial versions of this cabinet at $448 each. When they arrived they were slightly damaged, but we managed to assemble them without too many problems. They are solid cabinets and we ended up really liking the product, so we ordered a 3rd cabinet.The 3rd cabinet was on backorder. When we received the 3rd cabinet it too was delivered damaged. We opened the product and instead of the $448 commercial cabinet, they sent us the $199 cheaper version.So if you order, make sure it doesn't come damaged and immediately open the product and look for the corner in the upper right hand side of the door. IF you ordered the more expensive cabinet, the label will be in Red, if you ordered the cheaper version it will be the same color as the cabinet.
