Sauder Miscellaneous Storage Craft & Sewing Armoire, Dakota Oak Finish

This is a great value for the money and creates a good amount of storage in a very small footprint. Fairly easy to put together and is pretty sturdy so far. Using this as a WFH desk and a crafting center. It easily fits my sewing machine, serger, and sewing boxes on the bottoms shelves which are completely out of the way while I’m working. The boxes are HEAVY (it ships in 2) so be careful if you need to get this up a flight of stairs.

We bought this for our small one bedroom apartment. Both my boyfriend and I do a lot of miniature painting, 3D printing, and misc. crafting hobbies. This armoire has been an amazing help to keep things organized and be able to pull out the desk and put away for extra space whenever we want. Put it together in 6 hours; not that hard to do, just a lot of pieces. There was maybe one scratch on a piece from shipping but barely noticeable and we bought it mainly for utility, not looks. But it still looks great and very sturdy! The power strip is great for our two hobby lights and an airbrush. We're very happy we got it.

While I enjoy this armoire and it’s a much better alternative to the Dream Box, it took a lot of assembly. The directions for the gliders were not clear to the reader. There biggest flaws, one mentioned by others: the top shelves are extremely thin: you can’t store anything heavy in them. The drop down table top is great but a little more thought and the manufacturer would have added a strap underneath to pull it up and down so you wouldn’t have to bend all the way to the ground and back. Lastly, and most disappointing, for all the great features, strength in most pieces others than the aforementioned shelves, the doors are flimsy and feel I felt like I got the wrong doors by mistake they were so off from the sturdiness of the rest of the piece - and one of the door handles is not straight because the bottom hole was not drilled in the correct spot.Lastly, be cautious with delivery. It comes in two boxes and it wasn’t obvious looking at the larger of the two boxes. The driver only delivered one box. Instead of sending me the missing box, I had to refund the whole thing and order another -added time and inconvenience that soured the whole experience on ordering furniture from Amazon.

Love this. It is complicated to assemble but great look and tons of uses.

Not my first assembly piece. Very heavy, as expected. Small pieces meant to attach the heaviest and longest boards over 5' just pop out, cannot handle any strain whatsoever, even with two people holding it steady. The wood ripped and it would no longer stand on its own. Particle board is not forgiving. The return process was ridiculous - and they tell you to drag two 70 lb boxes to a carrier of your choice and pay. AFTER paying $450 for the badly engineered piece. Anyone who says they put it together fine used wood glue or brackets of their own, because all my furniture is DIY, including an armoire from Ikea and several Sauder pieces - this piece is a poor design or a defect this seller is pawning on Amazon. It happens. Amazon needs to dump this seller too.

I built this myself, it took me a few hours but the steps were easy to follow. The end result were worth it.

This cabinet is so cool and highly useful, I just wish it was made from higher quality materials. The backing is cardboard. The rest is made from MDF particles board. Not everything fit together perfectly, but it is usable. Certain boards came with chips out of them and forced me to fill in the chips and have to use white paint pens on them. I also added adhesive wallpaper inside on each shelf and on the backing to make it look richer than it is, but that added $80 to the cost.Again, I am mixed in my feelings. I love the design and that the table folds down and everthing can be hidden away. It is shorter than i thought i would be, but that is my fault for not looking closer at the actual height specs and modeling it out. The quality of the materials is what takes the stars off.It took about 5-6 hours to put together and another 5ish hours to add all the wallpaper to make it look nice. It is not lost on me that my craft cabinet became a craft project in and of itself.

🌟Crafty Corner Oasis Review🌟Oh, let me tell you about my new secret haven – the Sauder Miscellaneous Storage Craft & Sewing Armoire! It's not just furniture; it's my crafting accomplice, my productivity partner, and my organizational confidante all in one.The slide-out shelf is my crafty genie, granting wishes for extra workspace whenever I need it. Love that this is from a family-owned company and there is sustainability in mind when manufacturing this item.Using this for my die-cutting machine and other devices for craft projects. It's great just to have a space for crafts that you can hide away when you are done. Saves space and when I am using it I have it in the loft so I can stay up to date on my shows while I am at it. Bonus!My hubby helped build it for me and thank goodness because it was a little tricky so keep that in mind but this was such a great gift and find.
