I'm one of those people who hates putting things together, never shops at Ikea & am timing a purchase with the visit of my more handy friends. But alas none of my handy friends are in my COVID bubble & I realize I need more cabinets space in my home.
I agree with the other reviews, the cabinet is too thick for most doors. But knowing this, I decided to install it on a do I don't need to fully open.
When it arrived, there was a hole on the flat side & the seams were separating on one side. I immediately processed a return & my replacement arrived quickly. To be fair there was damage to the box that I didn't immediately notice & because the box is so big & the item fairly heavy, I didn't notice until I removed it from my house. However, I'm confused how it was damaged as it was packed really nicely & there was no damage to the "Styrofoam" sheet. But I consider it Murphy's law (it arrived1 day before a party at my house)...
The 2nd one arrived in a couple of days & I immediately inspected the box carefully. Then I inspected the cabinet carefully. No holes or gaps at the seams. So I rested while I mentally prepared to install this while the 6yr old was at school & couldn't "help".
The instructions are correct. It would've been easier as a 2 person job. But IF you find you only have 1 person, use the Styrofoam (& a smaller, flattened) cardboard box to give you the required height. I know I'm not only person who saves shipping boxes just in case. So do your self a favor if you're installing this alone, figure out what material you need to hold this fairly even with your bottom hinge. Look at the top & make sure its not taller than the door & the holes aren't above the top hinge.
Ok, now follow the instructions. I measured twice, (because of the old adage, measure twice cut once) but somehow still managed not to get the bottom holder in line with the hinge. Did I mention I hate items that I have to assemble/ install?
But eventually, after 3 tries, I got everything to line up. & everything else was easy. Oh, it did take several videos for me to figure out how to take out a hinge pin. So if, you've never done that, that part will also be a source of difficulty.
As far as the actual cabinet, I do need to screw the metal plate to the door (it sticks there but when I close the cabinet & reopen it, the plate goes with the cabinet. Not a big deal & it's nice to know, that is a strong magnet.
It stores a lot & keeps items out of sight making the space cleaner. But I do agree, its depth is too thick for most doors

Must have for small bathroom
This was even better than I expected! It holds so much stuff. Definitely a two person job to install. Adjustable shelves and good support! Hope it holds up well long term. Magnet seems strong.

Due to a recent move, sale of home, working from home and having mil moved into adjoining townhouse, my daily quota of patience is nearly depleted by the time my feet hit the floor in the morning. That being said, Dear Reader, perhaps the tips I have to share on how to install this bad boy all by yourself when you are over 65 and only 5' tall will save you some time and perhaps even much gnashing of teeth.
Because the clostrophobic tiny toilet "room" in our master bath has no lock on the door to stabilize it's position in the frame when the hinge pins are removed, I found that being something of a hardware hoarder, coffee addict and an avid reader came in handy in finding materials to shim the bottom and side of the door and to support the cabinet while removing and reinserting the hinge pins.
Reviews that remark on the strength of the magnetic latch are spot-on but I found that the oval slots on the magnet side allow for sliding it back just enough to control the amount of pull before tightening the screws down nice and tight.
Speaking of screws, do not use those cute little screws that come with on the metal piece that fastens to your door frame. Throw. Them. Away. RIGHT NOW.
Find a couple that are a bit longer but that will still fit into the slots to connect to door frame. DO drill TINY pilot holes or your wood screws may just dance around, messing up your door instead of cleanly and easily seating properly. Also do be careful to NOT drill THROUGH said door to the opposite side.
I am delighted with this product...it is solidly-built with an easy-to-clean surface and customizable for whatever your unique storage needs are. I highly recommend.
Great Product-Great Customer Service-Tips that worked for me...

First of all, I need to thank Customer Support for their patience and timely response to my idiot question about the wing nuts being "too large". They will not spin freely around, as I learned by not looking closely at the installation brochure. They remain in place while applying Phillip's screwdriver to the slotted side.Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2021
