ECR4Kids 5-Compartment Mobile Storage Cabinet, Natural

This cabinet is an amazing value for the quality. Super heavy and sturdy. Replaced some flimsy toy bins in our living room, now my toddler can easily find their toys and I have regained my sanity from the previous clutter mess.

Easy to assemble and look amazing in my home day care.

All of the wood is splitting apart. We immediately contacted the company. Since we purchased through amazon.com there was nothing they could do. This was a product defect not an issue with packaging damage. This was a quality issue. Luckily Amazon was great and refund immediately so we could get a functional product. Directions aren’t great but it’s not a difficult assembly. The shelves are not sturdy. Also easily tips, if you have little ones get a sturdier shelf.

If you have never assembled a piece of furniture before or are not handy with tools, this nice looking shelf unit may not be for you. Get an experienced friend to help.
I don’t recommend assembling this without a good quality drill/driver.
When it’s on its casters, the shelf unit can be tippy, especially on carpet. When in use with children anchor it to a wall (hardware not included). You may want to not use the included casters but rather install glides (hardware store item) for use on hard floors.
Pros: it’s a sturdy design made of plywood, not MDF, particle board or with a cardboard back. The light colored birch veneer is attractive.
Cons: Assembly – there are no pilot holes for the 16 caster mounting screws. The hole locations are marked. Drill pilot holes with a bit the size of or slightly smaller than the unthreaded shank (minor diameter) of the screws (7/64″ or 2.8mm). Do not drill all the way through the shelf. 3/8″ or 1 cm deep is sufficient.
You will need a good quality driver/drill to make the pilot holes and drive the screws. Some screws are quite long and require a lot of torque to drive. Driving these screws by hand would be a killer. If you don’t have a drill/driver, most hardware or rental stores can rent you one for a nominal fee.
The threaded inserts for the cam lock studs are plastic. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to set these screws by hand. Do not over tighten or you will strip out the plastic! Tighten by hand only.
I recommend assembling the shelf unit on a table or bench if you can. Much easier on the back and knees and easier to see what you’re doing.
Recommended tools: #2 Phillips screwdriver, 4 mm hex wrench with a long arm (the one supplied is pretty short and the shelf support screws require a lot of torque to tighten securely), electric drill/driver and drill bit (see above), #2 Phillips and 4 mm bits for drill/driver plus drill bit for caster pilot holes, soft faced hammer or hammer and a block of soft wood for seating the back panels, magnifying glass (or an 11-year old) to see the orientation of some parts in the rather small instruction drawings.
Don’t be too concerned if you get some parts on backwards at first. Work slowly and the parts come apart pretty easily if you need to reposition them. It took me about an hour to assemble but you should not be surprised if it takes an inexperienced person a little longer.

Very sturdy and safe. We use it for the books and toys , it looks just like another furniture in our house

Je voulais un meuble avec plusieurs espaces de rangement et très logeable. Je voulais quelque chose de moins gros que ce que j’avais avant en pouvant y ranger tout le matériel. Vraiment très heureuse de mon choix.
Se monte assez facilement.

So glad I made this investment. I love the look and find it to be the perfect size for our home and our needs. It took about 45 minutes to assemble, but the instructions were clear and it was manageable (did it by myself!) Very solid quality.
