VINGLI 72in Tall & Wide Metal Storage Cabinet with Pegboards Locking Doors and 4 Adjustable Shelves, Wheels

During my recent move, I decided it was high time that I got organized and not have so much clutter in my limited kitchen space. Even though my new house is not much different in cabinet space than my old house, I wanted to have a minimal look, without having to throw away items that I still use but just not very often. I decided the basement would make an ideal 'pantry' area and this cabinet would be perfect for less used items. While I was at it, I bought a second one for stocking up on food so I wouldn't have to travel to the store so often. However, I did have some requirements for my new cabinet: I have found when items are stored on the basement floor, they tend to trap moisture and rust - so it had to have wheels or something to raise it up off the floor. check. It also had to be all metal since I was storing food, and I knew it may attract rodents to come check it out. check. It had to be well made and sturdy. check. And it had to be spacious with plenty of room for a lot of stuff. check. Lastly, I knew it was going to be challenging based on what I read in the reviews and watching you tube videos on assembling this - I had to be able to assemble it myself, even though I am not strong or young. Well, surprisingly, the unboxing was probably the most difficult part of the assembly. I guess that was a good thing. This cabinet was so well packaged I can't imagine how the cabinet could have gotten damaged, unless someone threw it out of a 5-story window. For the two cabinets it took, easily, 5 contractor sized bags of debris. And although there were a few bumps indicated on the outside box (yes, there are two boxes!) the cabinet came out in perfect condition. After I was so exhausted taking it out of the box I made it a two-day project: about 2 hours to take it out of the box and check for parts and organize the components; 4 hours for assembly. Again, I was doing this on my own. Instructions (except for misspelling the heading because someone just re-used the title on all of the pages) was incredibly easy and well explained. I am used to getting these put-it-together furniture with instructions that leave a lot to the imagination - but these were just so easy to understand, with excellent drawings. Assembly is time consuming because there are a lot of parts - not because it was difficult. The screws are all going into metal parts - so I used only a battery powered drill; I do not think I could have done it with just hand-tools. Tip: do not do the final securing until it is all together; I tightened all the screws to about 7/8 of the way in during the entire assembly (until just before the shelves went in); lifted it in place and did the final tightening. This gave it some flexibility during assembly - although there was no misalignment of pre-drilled holes, at all. Everything was perfect. When it was done, I was so impressed with the quality of this cabinet. I saw that there are other manufacturers with similar cabinets - and I watched their instruction videos on you tube - I will say, not all are created equal. They may be fine as well, but I can say with confidence this brand is excellent. And it stores a lot of stuff! One of my best purchases for my new house!

This is shorter than I thought, mainly because the wheels and thick bottom take away a good 6 inches of height. Nevertheless, it holds everything I had in mind with room to spare. I wasn't planning on putting on the wheels, but left them on because I'm tall. Not sure how it rolls fully loaded. Kinda a scared to roll it.

The door sticks a bit, but I got used to it.
It is possible I misunderstood the instructions for the locking mechanism. Those were really unclear. I found the rest of the instructions pretty good though.

I didn't find the instructions when I unpacked the boxes. The instruction and locking bars where located between 2 shelves that I didn't bother to separate until it was time to load the shelves, which I correctly figured was one of the last steps. I found the instructions on the Vigli website and printed them out. They were harder to follow in black and white, print them in color/grayscale. When I finally found the instructions, they were easier to follow, but I had already completed most of the steps.

Took me about 4 hours to put together. That includes dismantling and reassembling the top of unit because I put it on backwards. As suggested by another commenter, I carefully marked every component with marker and blue tape (she used crayon) in multiple places to identify the part letter and which way is up or front. That was a very helpful tip, except when I promptly ignored my tape when I put on the top. After drilling in 40 screws to secure the top, I had to unscrew 40 screws, rotate the top, then drill them back in.

About 2 of those hours were spent unpacking. A box within a box with metal corner guards and lots of precisely packed Styrofoam. I had to double check this came from China because the packaging made me feel like it came from Japan. Despite all of that there was one slight bend of a corner and some scratches, but one of best protected shipments I've seen.

Definitely get a power screw driver. Also, get a magnetic ph1 bit. The magnetic bit I finally bought a few years ago really paid off for this work. Also, get a 90 degree adaptor for the back panels. I ended up manually screwing those in with the provided screw driver which I laid flat on the back of the panel. After this was done, I noticed I placed my 90 degree bit adapter with a different drill, that would've been nice.

While largely unused, the provided screw driver was nice enough to throw in my tool box and not the trash where these tools usually go.

One other issue is the lower front inside slots for the shelf was misaligned with the 4 other slots on the back and other front inside. It was aligned as I went further up and the lowest shelf is stable enough, but that is very disappointing at this price point. Having said that, the shelf supports are easy to install, if you read the instructions which ai didn't initially, and are very solid. I've weighed that entire shelf down with gallon buckets of paint without any sagging.

I know I griped a lot, but I'm very pleased with this. The deeper and wider shelves work really well and allow me to store a lot of stuff. I love the pegboards. While not intended, I may enjoy the mobility if I ever get the courage.

Simple to put together. Very sturdy. Would recommend.

Comes extremely packed well. Shipping is extraordinary. Assembly instructions are well labeled. Very easy to assemble. Storage capacity is outstanding.

The storage unit arrived packed well and in extremely good condition. The instructions for assembly are easy to understand. The design is the best I've ever encountered. This is our second unit. The shelves are exceptionally strong.

Recently, I had the chance to purchase this Steel Storage Cabinet, and after using it for some time, I'd like to share my experience.

Pros:
The cabinet's design is highly flexible due to the four shelves that can be adjusted as per individual storage needs.
Safety is well-thought-out, with two hinged doors and a lock system. It comes with a pair of keys to secure files, documents, and personal items.
The unit is quite robust, thanks to the cold rolled steel body frame. Moreover, the powder coating ensures resistance to scratches and facilitates easy cleaning.
The cabinet proves to be versatile. It suits multiple environments like homes, offices, garages, workshops, and schools.
Each shelf is capable of bearing up to 180 lbs, which is an appreciable feature for heavy items.

Cons:
Assembling the cabinet can be a little challenging. Though there are instructions and videos for guidance, I would have preferred it to be a bit simpler.
To sum it up, the Steel Storage Cabinet is a reliable storage solution with its flexible shelving system, solid construction, and lockable doors. The assembly part could be improved for a better user experience. However, it still provides good value for its price and would be a suitable addition for various environments.

This storage cabinet was super simple to assemble. It’s made of quality materials and is extremely versatile. We plan to use this for small appliance storage, but this could be used in almost any space for a sleek looking storage solution.
