42’’ Coffee Bar Cabinet and Coffee Station, Noelse Buffet Cabinet with Storage Drawers, Small Pantry with Door Shelves for Kitchen Living Room, White

This cabinet is very well made. It's heavyweight and sturdy, comes with a metal track for the drawer, anti-tip hardware to prevent accidental falling as well as rounded edges for safety. It takes awhile to assemble but it's not at all difficult, just a little time consuming. My family thinks it's great and we are are going to use it as a small buffet cabinet in our dining room. It can definitely work in most kitchens or dining rooms, anywhere you need a little extra storage.

I found this cabinet on Walmart.com and it was sold by the Noelse store, and the first thing that struck me when the boxes arrived was the weight. This is not flimsy flat pack furniture pretending to be sturdy. It is a two person lift too, so plan accordingly. Right away it felt like one of those purchases that was going to be worth the effort to assemble. When I started unpacking the pieces I could tell pretty quickly that Noelse actually puts some effort into the build quality. The panels feel solid and the finish looks clean and consistent, and everything was packaged well so nothing arrived chipped or damaged when I laid all the pieces out to get started. The instructions are clear and organized, but I am not going to pretend this is a quick little 1-2-3 assembly project. I set aside about two hours thinking that would be plenty of time and it ended up taking just about every minute of that, though thankfully it is not one of those stressful “divorce assembly” situations where parts do not line up and everyone starts getting irritated. Everything was labeled well and the steps made sense so once I got into a rhythm it came together smoothly. I actually noticed this cabinet during one of those late night browsing sessions on Walmart.com where I start out looking for one small thing and somehow end up down a rabbit hole of storage ideas, and I am always on the lookout for furniture that can pull double duty around the house. Once it was built and standing in place I realized just how much storage they packed into a relatively small footprint. There is a surprising amount of usable space with the drawer, the doors, and all the shelving options. My wife took a long look at it and mentioned it would make a great makeup station before I quickly claimed it as a coffee bar, and everything can be tucked away but still easy to reach which makes it very practical for everyday use. Overall it ended up being a good purchase. It takes a little time to assemble but once it is finished it feels sturdy and useful, and it would work well in a bathroom, workroom, craft area, or even a small coffee bar setup where organized storage makes everyday life a little easier.
