Jaclyn Smith Armoire

Don't buy

Door goes on crooked no matter what you do. Company sent 2 right sides for the draw so can't put that together. Very flimsy...not worth the money. Save yourself the aggravation of having to take all apart and returning to the store...which I am doing.

Uneven doors - so frustrating

I bought this after reading the reviews but wished I'd researched further.  Apparently there are flaws with the holes for the doors.  The right side is lower than the left.  I assembled one and thought maybe there was a problem with it.  Returned it for another armoire; assembled it and found the same problem.  I thought for a moment, maybe I was the problem.  Went back to the store to look at the one on display.  YES!  The display had the same problem with the exact same door.  I'm so disappointed.  I can see the items in my armoire when the doors are closed.  I've adjusted and re-adjusted and it's still the same.  I finally left it alone so I wouldn't destroy the darn thing.  I would return for a full refund if I hadn't lost my receipt.  Please don't waste your time and money with this item...unless you plan to drill your own holes to adjust the doors.  Good luck.

Great product

Bought the armoire along with the five drawer chest. Looks stunning, instructions were very simple to read. Decided to assemble it in the bedroom after assembling the chest. Looks great as a set, the armoire and chest. Very heavy it is, sturdy is also one of its best attributes.

This Multi-use armoire is nice, Sturdy and Spacious

Ok so I was skeptical when I went into the store and gave it a look. O but after following the easy instructions, I put it together all alone (except for the doors). It is sturdy and heavy (may need 2 people to move depending on your strength), which for me means it will not tip over easily (though it still comes with the piece to attach to the wall). Very spacious, has enough space for me to put TWO rows of clothes in it for my toddler. It is as nice as it looks. The 2 shelves are optional, leaving room for flexibilty in your use. The drawer is fairly deep.

A major con for me (otherwise it would get 5*s) is that I scratched my leg, toe and damaged the wood on my futon because the edges are sharp. I also accidently scratched it apparently, though I am not sure how. So be careful because the face can damage easily. I am not really a fan of particle board but this one was an exception for me.

I hope this review is helpful to someone who is looking for a spacious armoire to satify your needs.

Good armoire for the price

I chose this armoire over the others because the quality seemed worth the extra money. It's made of heavier duty materials than the plywood-like materials you usually get (not sure if it's real wood though). This makes the box and the piece itself VERY heavy. It's very difficult to move but hopefully the heavier materials means it will last longer and is of better quality. In order for the doors to align properly, you really have to screw the hinges in as tightly as humanly possible. Otherwise, you can see the metal hinges peeking through the crack through the door.

Make sure you have a lot of room to assemble and I recommend that you assemble it in the room it will be in. Assembling with just one person is almost impossible, 2 people are needed to do the job. It took 2 of us 2-3 hours to assemble.

Bottom line: I've only had the piece for a few days but so far I'm pleased with the purchase. It looks more expensive then what I paid and seems to be made of higher quality materials then what you'd normally get at that price.
