Prepac GSCW-0706-2K HangUps 24″ Large Storage Cabinet, Light Gray

Great Quality Product
After reading a number of somewhat negative reviews, I was a little hesitant to order these units. As I need something shallow, this was about all I could find that was near what I needed. I’m glad that I order these cabinets.First of all, the cabinet(s) will arrive in two boxes which makes perfect sense as the weight of each is over 47Kgs (104 lbs for our southern friends). They are sturdy but still can be installed by one person; I’m 67 years old and had no problem with these. Assembly and installation of 4 cabinets took about 4 1/2 hours by myself.As with all knock down furniture, inventory and sort the hardware first. Saves a lot of time along the way. The quality of hardware and wood products is excellent. Partical board is used for it’s stabilty as opposed to hardwood which I read in a review would be desirable…..expensive and tends to warp & twist.As mentioned, there is no back in the cabinets, but it really isn’t needed. Secure the bottom backplate to wall to square and secure the cabinet; this removes the chance of things shifting out of square. The door hinges require adjusting as will all european design hinges. This is a simple process which is well explained in the instructions.I apologize if this review seems sarcastic and demeaning but by the petty comments and complaints that I read prior to purchasing, I’m not sure what some expect. This is a great product that requires a basic skill set to assemble and install. It may be a little heavy and awkward but I assure you, the finished product is worth the effort.

Sturdy storage cabinet.
Assembled easily. Heavy and sturdy. A bit of damage to some corners but luckily they were inner pieces.

All items in this are scratched. Inside and outside face.

product is overpriced
this product is over priced for what you get, there should be 2 additional shelves with this unit, no backround lining or finishing

These cabinets are the perfect storage solution for our laundry room, we looked all over the internet for the specific measurements required for this wall and these cabinets worked really well. We have a lot of new storage , a space for our vacuum, cleaning supplies, a broom closet and much more. One of the doors was defective and we received the replacement a week later. Great quality product and great customer service.

Initial look, I was satisfied with what I saw. Packaged so it wouldnt move in the box, even UPS damage to the box corners didnt damage the product inside. Instructions well written. What seemed like a good hangar system, designed with flexibility for the fact that no 2 installations are the same. Heavy and style appropriate handles. Glad to see the manufacturer is in Canada (USA would be nice, but CA is ok too.) However, after assembling 8 units, hanging them, adjusting for plumb and getting to the final finishing steps, my satisfaction fell to zero. As I pulled out each door, they were a mess. Half the boxes had sawdust in each door. There was nothing protecting the doors themselves from each other. Each door was scuffed, scratched, or blemished. One door was an obvious manufacturing defect, where the laminate application machine either malfunctioned or the thin laminate tore. The solution was to put on as much as they could and fill in the rest with a paint pen? Hidden back or side, I wouldnt give it a second thought, but this was the door front. There is a ladder pattern up the entire door. Needless to say, Im expecting 16 replacement doors (8 units x 2 doors). I want them in my hands with a few days to get them installed before the return window ends, or Im returning the entire lot of 8 units. If they make good, I will update this review accordingly. Other quality issues included EXTREMELY THIN laminate. I dont believe it will hold up to scratches and light wear and tear. The units are 6ft tall but only have 2 hinges per door. There should be 3. Doors are thin, and when you look down the line of 8 of them like I have, you can see a wobble. I can adjust some of that out, but over time, they will sag and it will look like crap. I will have to add a brace bar to fix. Just more $$. Lastly, these things sway at the bottom. You need to reinforce them by driving a screw through back plate near the bottom into a stud. This made them solid on the wall. There is still some flex in the sides, Im concerned when they get loaded, shelves will sway side to side in the middle (even though secured at the top and bottom). I already ordered replacement L pins because the round ones are junk. So far, the Lowes/Depot higher grade RTA units have much better doors, much thicker laminate that is continuous / molded to the door. None of this sandwich of many pieces. If this doesnt work out, its likely I will return these and buy the Lowes/Depot units. Unfortunately assembly time will be greatly increased as I will have to adjust them for depth because I have very specific dimensions Im trying to achieve, something that drew me to these units in the first place.UPDATE: After speaking with PrePac, the lady was nice, but as a company, PrePac would not stand by their product. The lady I worked with is obviously not the decision maker in this case; I cannot fault her. She stated replacing 16 doors was ‘excessive’ and would require more hoops. I dont have time for hoops. Her offer was to replace a few doors and use a paint pen for the rest. 100% not acceptable. I contacted Amazon, as usual, Amazon had no hassle return for it. I do not need to disassemble. They will pick up, no additional charge. The whole ordeal has cost me multiple holes in my walls, scuffs on the paint, and my time. I will likely cover the holes and paint scuffs with another cabinet product, but I cannot replace my time. I do not recommend this product.
