HOMCOM Kitchen Pantry

This unit was perfect for our small kitchen for more storage. It is very sturdy, and all the pieces are of very good quality, comparable to ikea flat packs. It came on time and was delivered with care by Yodel. Both packages are really heavy, so you may need some assistance getting them into the house. This came extremely well packaged and secure with every piece accounted for. There is a list of pieces, including hardware in the instructions book to check against. I’d advise doing this first before you start to assemble. All of the pieces are numbered (with small stickers on the pieces, or in plastic bags with numbers on in the case of the screws etc). Holes are pre-drilled for everything except the back, and everything fits exactly as it should. Having had twenty five years experience of putting flat packs together from various shops and of various quality, this was one of the easiest to complete and follow. Everything slotted in exactly as it should, which doesn’t always happen! There were a couple of diagrams that were hard to read with the smaller parts, so a bit of common sense is needed - the plastic wedges that secure the back need to be aligned where you want them to be, as the holes aren’t pre-drilled. I quite liked that the back was held in by screws and brackets, instead of cheaper quality nails (which usually come away over time). I built this mostly by myself, as a strong independent woman armed with only a cheap manual screwdriver with interchangeable ends, as you will need a Phillips and a flat head for this. However, it is heavy and I did ask for help when lifting the top section onto the bottom and aligning the screws. I could have probably laid this on the floor and then lifted it up, but it was much easier with an extra person especially when you have back pain! I also managed to hang the doors by myself. Again, this is just common sense and working out where you want them to sit. There is a guide at the beginning of the instruction book on how to adjust the hinges. Once you’ve got the first two doors on where you want them, it’s easier to fiddle about with the others to get them to sit right. It took me a few hours to do at a regular pace with breaks. If you have a helper it would obviously take less time as you could work on separate sections at the same time. It’s very sturdy when assembled and looks really nice. It can be fastened to the wall, but I’ve not done this as it sits level, is not wobbly, and has a microwave on it so it’s not liable to go anywhere! I would check the weight that this unit can carry (and also measure up) before purchase to make sure it suits your needs. The main counter is sturdy, but you wouldn’t want to cause it to bow and damage the unit by putting too heavy an item on it. Overall, this has been perfect. If I had a slightly bigger kitchen I would definitely have another!

Came quickly was pretty easy to put together and looks great. Definitely recommend love it . Worth the money. Fits perfectly. Gives lots of extra space.

The cabinet is as expected. Perfect size for what we needed it for. Putting it together wasn't too difficult, managed to do it by myself. Its very light and the shelfs inside to begin to bow if heavy items used and the shelves themselves just sit on top of the supports, so they easily move and fall when taking stuff out of the cupboard. This is a easy enough fix though. Good value for money. Storage is adequate Looks well Builds easy enough Drill holes are relatively accurate Happy!

Fast delivery and items are as expected, self build, read the instructions, take your time, looks good

Brought this cabinet last month After opening the box I realised the material of the doors was very flimsy and weak I read the reviews and people were happy with this product some commenting it was difficult to assemble etc however I didn't want to risk having a flimsy cabinet Contacted them to return it Went back and forth with them for a month as they refused to pay the fee to return it it was over £40 Eventually escalated it to amazon and the issue was resolved If you don't mind a flimsy cabinet with cracks in the doors then it's okay But I'll defo be paying ikea a visit..
