The only reason I gave this product any stars is because miraculously, I was able to complete the set up and it does look like the picture.HOWEVER, the pre drilled holes are NOT big enough for the screws. After 2 phone calls with support they explained that the small drill holes are a “Safety feature”. They expect you to somehow morph into a steel bending machine to thred the screw through.After about 10 screwdriver puncture wounds to my thigh, it is assembled.They recommend that no power tools be used.You have about 2 days from purchase to delivery to up your protein intake and hit the gym to prepare for this project.May the hulk be with you. Like any new parents we started becoming overhwlemed with the amount of toys our two kids started to amass after a few birthdays and Christmas', so at the time I just started throwing all of their toys into plastic bins in the corner. Those bins/totes don't look all that great and the little ones just end up grabbing whatever is up top. After searching online for a while I came across this bin setup and I'm pleasantly surprised.The quality is just OK. There's glue all over the edges, the Formica they use along the edge is poorly glued on, and it's got a few dings and dents right out of the box. It's more cheap particle board kind of stuff. Anyone who feels confident around a shop or power tools would look at it while they're assuming and think to themselves "I could whip something similar up for cheaper on my own"..and you probly could.But as far as convenience goes and usability, its a win! Definitely not worth $70+, but at the mid $60 it's just cheap enough to make a cluttered room go away.It also looks like the kids feel that there's more variety and my 1 year old always finds something new to grab. I would buy again. Love the unit! Matches our furniture well and love how big it is. Easy to put together! Dropped a star because we were missing a piece(I think maybe a screw) but it was to a decorative foot part and it didn’t really matter. I put labels on the bins so my toddler is able to easily access what she wants and puts her toys away so much better with the organization! Assembly: It took us 30 mins to assemble, between me and my husband. One person can do it but will probably take a longer time since it requires a little bit of bakancing and right positioning. It was straightforward and we didn’t have any problems putting it togetherPackaging: The product arrived on time and has no major defects. There were very few scratches, almost invisible to the eye so I didn’t mind it.Bins: The bins are huge! Definitelt bigger than the average toy storage. They have a large capacity and can surprisingly hold a ton of toys of all sizes. This also came with 16 bins versus the usual 12. They are also made of thick material and seems of high quality.Sturdiness: This thing is heavy! A toddler will definitely have a hard time to topple this over. It doesn’t sway, and it doesn’t sag either.Overall, I highly recommend this. The neutral color palette is a plus. I love it! Love it!! Easy to put together and very happy that the bins are plastic instead of cloth! 1. Overpriced for the QualityIf this were sold at a big-box store, I would expect it to cost $49.99 and to go on sale for less regularly.There are parts that are clearly unpainted. The screws are visible to the naked eye. Basically, this is composed of eight metal poles (okay quality there), plastic bins (again, okay on quality for my needs), and two pressed-board ends with some screws. If you are going to shove this in the closet or in a room you do not care about, it will probably be fine.2. Design FlawsIf you are purchasing this with the idea that your kid will "grab a bin of X" and then put the bin back, know that only the top bins come out easily. Yes, you can technically get them all out, but little kids are not likely to put forth that much effort. Secondarily, if you are using this for plastic pieces (and most people probably are), know that there will be a lot of wasted space in the bins because of the tilt--the tilt is half the reason that most of us probably want the product, but I thought it only fair to warn you all. [If you look at customers' images, you will notice that, in most cases, either the bins are not full or the items are sort of cascading out.]Overall: It works well enough, but the $65 price is a bit much for what you get. Try to catch it on sale if you can. Assembled in under 15 minutes using a power screwdriver, all you need is a phillips head. It's stable, the color is sleek and modern for living rooms, and the different bin sizes are great. I do wish it was deeper front to back though in order to hold larger toys, but the length is just right. For the price I was disappointed in the quality of the product. The corners came chipped and damaged. No packaging in the box to protect during shipping. The holes in the metal bars for the shelves do not line up properly so putting together was extremely difficult to screw together. Even came with a large flyer that says "before you return this item, contact us" Made out of particle board not solid wood. Each side has 10 holes for screws and no caps given to hide the holes. Looks very cheap and tacky. Seems more like a $20 item.
