Happy Wife

Overall we are pleased with this cabinet. Shipping took about 2 wks. for us. It comes in 2 boxes and you assemble it yourself. Arrow does a very nice job packaging this cabinet. ( unfortunately our cabinet was badly damaged by the shipping company. We contacted Arrow, they shipped 4 replacement panels right away, at no charge, but required pictures of the damaged box and parts and… read more again shipping takes 2-3 weeks.) Assembly was easy with 2 people. The cabinet uses cam-locks for all major joints and fit/alignment was very good. The rest of the cabinet hardware uses Phillips screws and all hardware positions are pre drilled for easy assembly. For a pre-fab, boxed, assemble yourself cabinet this is a very nice cabinet. Should last a long time. I highly recommend you read through the instructions before assembly to understand the assembly and CHECK your parts list and CHECK every piece.
Many thanks to Arrow for standing behind their product and making it easy to warranty the 4 damaged parts.

Great compact Sewing Cabinet

I haven't used my cabinet as I'm waiting for the insert, but I like the size and the color. My husband thought the directions could of been better detailed, especially the caster
part, we had to order a 1 new panel because the panel split the wood putting it on but they were very nice and sent it out right away. Hope I have many years of using it.

Nice table

Table is nice, good quality, but the assembly is exhausting and very time consuming.

Very Nice Cabinet

Recently purchased this cabinet in the oak finish, which looks very good. I especially like that inside of the leaves are also oak. The drawers were a must for me & this cabinet fit the bill.
I do have a couple of comments on the assembly process. Many of the pre-drilled holes could have been deeper and a little wider. Also not fond of the way the wheels attached. My friend… read more actually took a chunk of "wood" out of the bottom when inserting the first wheel, and we had to plate it to get it to hold. Otherwise, everything turned out very well.
Over all, I am very pleased with this cabinet and would recommend it.

Recent Auntie Sewing Cabinet evaluation

Cabinet was moderately easy to assemble; joints of side panels with top were only minimally acceptable. I wound up strengthening them by putting in glue blocks in a number of places. Cam system for assembly was not very secure. System for raising and lowering sewing machine worked as advertised. Just received custom insert today for our machine. Though pricey, that worked much… read more better than generic insert which came with machine. Drawers in cabinet work but are very flimsy. On balance, this unit prior to recent inflation was probably worth $150-$200. Now, who knows?? However, if you're looking for a quality furniture piece, this isn't it. If you need a quick to assemble cheaper sewing cabinet, this may fit your bill.
