Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sterilite 01428501 4-Shelf Utility Cabinet with Putty Handles, PlatinumCustomer Review: Seems like a decent enough value... Summary: 5 Stars
MSRP on Amazon appears to be $119, currently on sale (8-2-10) for $57. Bought it for $79.99 @ Target. Even at $80 it seems like a decent value.
Originally, I had contemplated getting several wooden stand-alone pantries. But decided they were too short at 5' and far too heavy. Instead, I paid slightly more for these Sterilite cabinets. I think I made a good choice. They're light, relatively tall and seem fairly durable.
Keep in mind, they're NOT especially WIDE. I bought 2 and put them side by side to use as a standalone kitchen pantry. That should do the trick.
In terms of ease of assembly, it was pretty simple. About 10-15 minutes each, including unpacking. It's made in sections and they all more or less slide and snap together. The included instructions are pretty straightforward and all the parts are labeled with letters, making it pretty easy to tell which piece is what.
The fact that the shelves are also easily adjustable is nice too.
My only minor glitches so far have been that on one of them the top nubs don't seem to reach the top wall of the cabinet, thus don't quite "lock" in place (the bottom works fine, so it's fairly moot) and on the other, the back left corner of the top wall of the cabinet just won't cooperate and go the last 2mm or so to sit flush with the back wall/corner. There's a tiny gap there (however, since it's at the back and won't ever be seen and the nubs on the front doors DO "lock" properly into place on the top and bottom when closed, it's a moot point and hardly worth mentioning). Neither issue is sufficient for me to really complain or dock any stars from the review. If they had 1/2 star increments, I might go to 4.5 stars for the minor glitches. Otherwise, they seem pretty simple to assemble and probably reasonably durable. Might not recommend putting them outside empty as the wind could knock them over since they're quite light on their own.
So far, I'm quite satisfied. I haven't yet loaded them up with stored canned goods and such, but I'm fairly confident they'll hold up well enough. Once I get a decent supply, I might update with how it hold up, but I don't foresee any problems.
