Is this cabinet sturdy enough for a full pantry load?

The unit is rated for 110 lbs total and 22 lbs per shelf, so it handles dry goods, dishes and linens well. Keep heavy appliances and large liquid containers on lower shelves or elsewhere.

Does it need to be attached to the wall?

Yes. Anti-tipping hardware is included and should be used, especially in homes with children or pets. A 72-inch cabinet can tip if a door is left open and weight shifts.

How much assembly does it take?

It ships flat and needs full assembly, including doors, drawer and shelves. Two people make it easier to square up the tall side panels and stand the unit upright.

Can the shelves be moved?

Yes. Three shelves are adjustable, so you can set spacing for cereal boxes, canisters or folded linens. Each shelf holds up to 22 lbs.

Where can I put it besides the kitchen?

The enclosed compartments and drawer work in a dining room, laundry room, garage entry or home office. Keep it out of damp areas, since painted MDF swells with moisture.

How does it compare with a metal storage cabinet?

Metal cabinets resist dents and moisture better and often carry higher shelf ratings. This MDF cabinet gives a furniture-like look and adjustable shelving at a lighter duty level.
