Bush Business Furniture Farmhouse Storage Cabinet with Shelves

I am impatient and fast moving. And yet I was able to put this together. It took me 2.5 hours. I read carefully, followed the instructions one step at a time, and did not get overwhelmed! Looks great in my office.

Easy to put together, i did myself. It does take some time but feels very sturdy. Looks as expected, although the ‘finish’ is not fantastic, when peeling the id stickers for the pieces after assembly some came off. It doesnt show so much, and i guess i could have been more careful but was not expecting. Still super satisfied.

This is a beautiful piece of furniture.
Very heavy! The directions were easy to follow. I managed to put it together all by myself…having another person helping would have helped a lot as it took me close to 4 hours doing it myself.

 This served great for my new coffee station. All you need is a screwdriver and hammer to put together. When you open box it’s a bit overwhelming but once I separated all pieces, the instructions were easy to follow so took me approximately 45 minutes to an hour to put together. Well worth it as it’s beautiful.

Start with the positives: Looks classy, easy to assemble, solid for the cost. Would I stand on it? No. But it feels sturdy and doesn’t wobble. My husband and I put it together in about an hour. The hinges are only “tricky” because there are three ways to adjust them to fit perfectly, and there is a sheet in the instructions that allows you to scan a code for further details. We received all of the hardware required and thought the particle board pieces were heavier than we have experienced with Ikea products; this seems to be a bit higher quality than Ikea, and the price is less. Negatives: it’s very shallow. My dining room chargers are too wide to fit on the shelves, and not much will fit inside. My 11″ diameter dinner plates will fit in the cabinet with the door closed, but nothing larger. However, I knew that when I bought it; I have a small dining room and needed a smaller yet practical piece. It fits wine glasses and other small objects, and I love the open shelves in the middle to display my pretty things and the closed doors on the sides to hide away the not-so-pretty things. It suits my needs perfectly, but if you’re looking for something with a lot of storage, go for something deeper/wider. Read the dimensions!

The product looks exactly as shown in the picture, except it isn’t as tall as is in the picture. However, the measurements given are accurate, so it was totally my fault not paying attention to that (I’d love a bit taller). It states that it could handle 50 lb, but I’m not sure about that. I’m using it as a decorative item. so it isn’t important to me. But if you’re planning to use it as an actual storage, keep in mind that it is really small in every way, so not much could be stored in it. And it isn’t made of wood, obviously, so please don’t expect solid sturdiness. Yet, it isn’t wobbly at all. Assembly was a bit challenging (maybe 6/7 hours) because I don’t have much experience in assembling furniture. But I followed picture-guide exactly, with careful study of every picture (trust me, there are no extraneous details) and everything worked out well. Having a second person helps, but not a must – I managed to get it done alone and without damaging anything. You do need soft surface to work on, otherwise you will scratch veneers easily, and then it won’t be pretty. I do have to say that the design and assembly protocol are ingenious, truly. I was impressed many times.
Drawbacks: 1) I would check the supplied hardware before starting the assembly or even full unpacking. The box with hardware is at the top level in the package (the package was placed horizontally on the floor). Mine was missing Shelf Pin Sleeves – 8 of them. I’m not sure why there are needed, because the shelf pins work just fine without any sleeves. Maybe I’m missing something. But, if this item was missing, so could be anything else. All of the hardware is necessary, except the sleeves I mentioned. 2) The two doors are difficult to fit in properly. My left door was fine from the first go. But I spend a lot of time on the second (right door), trying to adjust the hinges. I ended up choosing a bit of misfit on the side adjacent to the hinges vs. the top of the door. Now, I had to stop the adjustment because I’m not sure how many times one could screw in and unscrew given the fact that it is a particle board. Again, I’m not planning to use it as an actual storage, so it should work well. 3) Four of the Cover Caps wouldn’t stay in place. Not sure why. Tried several times. But the rest of those ( 8 caps) worked flawlessly. Now, the 4 are all on the inside, so not a big deal. I probably will get Gorilla glue to fix it. Overall, this furniture piece is very pretty, especially for the price, very slim, which is hard to find, and it fits well into the bedroom (as a decoration and a vase pedestal). So I’m happy. Thank you Bush Furniture.

Great looking and easy to assemble this was just what we were looking for. There was some damage on the top and we contacted the manufacturer who will be sending out a replacement as soon as production starts again from the holidays/COVID break.
