This would've been a 5 star review, right up until I finished attaching the doors...
The Good:
Very easy to assembly (accept the doors...) It job should take between 30-40 minutes
Nice finishing touches that you'd expect from Closetmaid (like covers for the exposed fasteners and a good bracket to secure the unit to the wall)
The Bad & the Ugly:
The doors leave a 3/4 of an inch gap down the middle. I thought I put the thing together wrong it looked so bad!
I corrected their bad design by putting two thin washers between the hinge and the side and replacing their screws with some slightly longer ones. I was really annoyed that a 30 min job turned into a couple hours of realizing I didn't mess the thing up, working out a solution, and rooting around for the right parts.
When assembling the doors, it was hard to support and screw them in a the same time. I used a couple of boxes to prop the door up while I screwed in the hinges.
