PROS:
Full length mirror
Ability to adjust mirror angle
Variety of shelves, and slots
Sleek design
Locking capability
Thoughtful touches - ability to store dangly earrings, studs, and the kind that have the clasps at the back.
CONS:
Confusing instructions
Wish some spots were deeper or taller based on my needs. But impossible to design something that perfectly fits every persons needs.
I wish the "pouch" section had dividers. I'm finding the items I placed in it keep falling over onto each other.
I did need to reach out to the seller with a question to which they responded promptly, which is always reassuring.
As far as the directions go, I hope this helps.
When you are attaching the supports (parts C and D) that go parallel to the floor in between the 2 tall pieces at either side of the armoire (part B), be sure to first slide piece H in. Be mindful of how you slide it in. You want to be able to use your screwdriver to turn it so the opening faces where the screw (part E) is coming in from the outside of the outer leg. (see image) At first I was just trying to use screw E to attach the 2 pieces, but it wasn't catching hold. Then I realized I missed placing part H where it goes. That's what the screw really attaches to. I hope in conjunction with the instruction images, this will make sense. It sounds complicated, but it's actually quite simple to assemble. The biggest challenge I had was attaching the cabinet to the legs due to the height/weight of it being set up off the ground. I was able to assembly this alone. What I did was put it at an angle, and rested the actual cabinet on a random amazon shipping box that I set on the floor. This allowed me to have the proper grip needed to screw the cabinet to the base properly. If you have two people it would be a breeze.
Overall I am really happy with this purchase. It makes it easier to see my jewelry choices. I also store my every day makeup in here. Rather than leaving it on my dresser and cluttering up the space, I can take each item out, use it, and replace it in it's concealed home. You can get creative with what you store in here. Use the shelves for nail polish, chapstick etc. Instead of putting earrings everywhere, you can wrap bracelets around the earring bars. Hair ties can go on the necklace hooks too. Endless possibilities!
