Crosley Furniture Tara Bathroom Linen Cabinet, Vintage Gray

This piece looked like exactly what we needed in our grey themed bathroom. But nowhere could I find a review of anyone who had bought this. I feared it was poorly made or not made with quality materials, but it matched what we wanted so well I decided to order it anyway. It arrived and I was amazed at the quality of the wood pieces and overall construction. Every piece was labelled and the parts kit had all the parts in separate sections on the blister pack (plus an assortment of spare parts in case you lose something). It was a kit of course but the instructions were extremely thorough, easy to understand, and written by someone who is a trained professional in this area (with English as the primary language). The interlocking mechanisms were very effective and did not require tools. Literally the only tool required was a Phillips screwdriver and an included hex wrench. Working carefully and methodically I put it together in 45 minutes with no uncertainty as I followed the directions. All the pieces fit together precisely; all holes aligned perfectly (including pre-drilled backing board).To match our decor I will be swapping out the antique bronze door pull and knob for brushed nickel but that is no big deal. One thing ou need to be careful about during assembly. When installing the fixed shelves that have latches, make sure the latches are on the shelf side toward the floor. If not assembled that way the drawer will not close flush to the front face. The Crosley manufacturer can be proud of their badge on the inside of the drawer.

I bought this storage cabinet because it was wood and I wanted one that will last a long time. I am beyond happy with the quality of woodwork, and the design construction aimed at ease of putting it together. I did it by myself with the help of my dog JB. Watch this 20 second video and wait for the end.

absolutely perfect fit for my bathroom...JUST A NOTE TO ASSEMBLER ....... Put the bottom rear support in place after cabinet is where you want it , and before all side fasteners are tightened . The bottom rear support dowel is a pain. Frankly, to do it over again ... I would just leave the dowel pin out of the rear bottom support. Finish the cabinet doors and the drawers after unit is in place . AND ... before any work is started ... make sure you have cut a notch to allow for the bathroom flooring baseboard on the wall side , of the long side panels .just sayin'

This shelf is exactly what I was hoping to have built but my carpenter is unavailable so I scoured Amazon for a shelf and this was within an inch in depth and width of what I had designed. There is a very strong chemical smell, not just paint but a sealant smell. This is solid wood so it's possibly sealed to avoid moisture issues. I am going to try and clean it with a vinegar/baking soda spray. My towels take on the smell even after having the vent blowing on it and the bathroom fan on to dissipate the odor. My husband assembled this and was quite irritated by some of the instructions so there are parts that are misaligned and the shelf edges aren't all finished so I have a raw edge sticking out instead of the nice finished edge. The drawer is a little sticky and one side seems flimsy but our 3 year old was distracting and "helping" so it didn't get put together as well as maybe it could have been. My biggest issue is I've seen it on here from the same seller at $267 and then $199. Obviously I'd rather pay the $199 especially for the issues that we have faced. That is a more appropriate price for the difficulties we've had. Overall, it's perfect for the space and I'd order another, preferably at the lesser price.

I love this over the toilet cabinet. This is my 3rd and final purchase of this type of bathroom organization furniture. Thank the gods because I hate putting these together. My first one was good. It was large and stored a lot of stuff and looked okay and then the door broke off. Bought another one from a different brand and it wouldn't fit over the toilet. @#*@*! Finally splurged on this one and I'm so happy I did. Spending an additional 50 bucks on top of the price of the others for a sturdy piece of actual bathroom furniture is well worth it. Color is perfect. It's roomy and proportioned well. Yes, this thing has a very strong smell coming out of the package. It smells like wood stain and I'm sure it's terrible for you. I would recommend opening it in your garage or somewhere away from the family and pets and let it off gas for a few days before putting it together. I didnt do this by the way. I got a little high from the fumes unfortunately. But, I've been working on my home for awhile now so this smell is nothing new. It's the smell of wood stain and whatever protective coatings that were applied. It will dissipate. If you're the sort of person who cannot deal with strong orders like this I suggest getting someone else to put it together for you or maybe refrain from this piece. But if you want a beautiful, sturdy over the toilet organization piece and you know what it's like working with these stains and treatments, this is for you.
