Winsome Wood 92522 Reviews

Winsome Wood 92522 Review by Juan C. Quezada

The cabinet is of much better quality then i thought it would be, when considering the price. The only complaint that I have is that the door is not 100% aligned, but no big deal since it still looks great.

Winsome Wood 92522 Review by Rim (Alexandria, VA)

The pieces are solid wood (espresso finish) and they look nice. Easy to assemble but be sure to follow the directions. What I was really impressed with was how they made the back of the cabinet. I've made other ready-to-assemble furniture, like book cases, where the back of it is thick cardboard and is attached to the outside back via small nails. I can see why manufacturers would do this because it is much cheaper for them. For this cabinet though, the back is thin plywood and it is attached to the back via grooves inside the cabinet - no nails or glue! This is the type of back I see from the show The New Yankee Workshop which I think could fool other people to thinking it's not ready-to-assemble.

Two small things prevented me from giving it 5 stars. The first is the door stop that's inside the cabinet to prevent the door from going too far in the cabinet. The door stop (two of them) is made of plastic with what looks like a magnet inside and one of mine was cracked. It wasn't enough to send it back but I ended up taping it together and it seems ok. What was also weird is, the door itself had no metal strip inside it so the door stop having a magnet doesn't make sense. Fortunately, the door is snug enough not to need a magnet to hold it closed. The second thing is the strong odor of furniture polish. I don't think it's the smell of wood because it's too strong. When I open the door, I get a whiff of what I normally smell from furniture polish (and I didn't use anything on it - just a duster). It was strong enough that I worried if it would somehow leave a taste in the wine glasses I have stored in it. I've used a wine glass from it and did not detect any off-taste so that's good.

I would definitely buy again - will see if Winsome also makes end tables since I'm in need of one.

Winsome Wood 92522 Review by oceans (arlington, Virginia United States)

I was able to get it on sale from amazon for $99 and I'll say, this thing I would have payed $250 for and I'm cheap. The wood quality is great, the only pieces that feel like less than stellar wood are the back/side panels and the wine rack. These are still far above par in quality, thick ply panels. My back panel did come slightly damaged, a small crack, however it seems like it won't be a structural problem and would be very hard to notice. It was simple to assemble, took about 15 minutes. The only trouble I had with assembly is that the wine rack pieces were not perfectly symmetrical. There is a right way to put them all together, however you need to experiment to make them assemble to give you a flat surface for the middle shelf to sit on. All in all I love this purchase, and I think if you see it for 100 bucks again it is a no brainier.
