Acme Cargo Wardrobe (Double Door) in Gunmetal

Perfect for my picky little men's room

I thought it was lockable, And would provide security. I was wrong, And I will suffer the ridicule for this.

We bought several of the acme pieces to remodel our sons bedroom. The smaller cabinet seems sturdier than the large one. The large one was a pain to put together and because of its size some pieces were bent and didn’t line up. If you are considering purchasing the wardrobe pay extra to have it delivered inside your house! VERY HEAVY!! Other than that our 10 year old loves his new spaceship bedroom!!

This took me about 5-6 hours to assemble by myself. All the pieces and materials were clearly marked. Most of the holes aligned for my pieces, except for one hole on the top piece. I had to screw that in crooked. And then, on the opposite side of the top, there were no holes where there should have been. The doors were very difficult to get on by myself. The doors are already assembled to their own unit and you need to place the entire front unit by screwing into more holes. It was difficult to manage the swinging of the doors while trying to screw in the unit onto the frame. My biggest complaint are the shelves. They were uneven. I measured the holes to see if I had placed the middle piece in upside down and the measurements still didn’t line up. There was about a 3/4 inch difference. So I used styrofoam to even them out. Of other note, when you go to close the doors, it’s very noisy because you’re closing metal against metal. So I plan to place something on the doorframe to quiet the noise.

That needed attention BEFORE assembly. I had to take the middle spine section to a body shop to have them straighten it out. Many of the pre-threaded holes needed threads. Assembly took way too long and the imperfections are too many for the price I paid for this. I’m still keeping this, once I had the minor imperfections repaired it was too much trouble to return.

Product was supposed to be delivered to our home. Instead, UPS called and said it was too heavy and we either had to drive to their distribution center to pick it up in person or they would send it back. Took over 2 hours to pick it up.

I have to say that once assembled, this cabinet is very sturdy, but putting it together was a difficult 1-person task. Bent panels and anaemic hardware didn't help. The final step of attaching the top piece required hammering bent panels into alignment. Had to spray the hinges with WD-40 since the door barely moved and were squeaky AF. In case you're assuming that the door latches are functioning, they're just cosmetic handles and the door is held shut with a magnets, one of which barely does the job. This is not worth the $650 I paid. I'd overlook the jankiness of it all if I had paid half of that.

Not all of the pieces were labeled so it’s was like putting together a big puzzle.
