Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid 7083 72-Inch Four-Shelf Double-Door Resin Storage Cabinet
Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Not the build-quality you would expect from Rubbermaid; definitely spend your money on something else. UPS delivered this package with their usual finesse - smashed, dented, and broken in a couple places. It is easy to build - no tools needed; and no screws, etc. But the doors do not line up, and the unit really does not 'finish' well. The tubes used to hold the unit together have no cover on top - so I suspect it will fill up with garage gook over time. Costco sells a similar-type unit for a third less of the price and the build seems superior. My two cents here!Customer Review: Double Door Resin Cabinet
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased one of these cabinet and liked them so much we purchased three more. They are an excellant, inexpensive way to organize any area.Customer Review: Easy to Assemble, Quick Storage Option - Recommended!
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought 3 of the "Rubbermaid 72-Inch Four-Shelf Double-Door Resin Storage Cabinets" when we needed a quick solution to store our shop inventory behind closed doors. While not a security solution by any means, the doors keep little hands and curious eyes off our fragile items in our workareas.
The units were very easy to assemble and are not very heavy. We would not put too much on the shelves since they are not made for large loads, but they are holding up well for our needs.
Overall, a good solution for those needing quick and easy storage with doors. Recommended!
Customer Review: Excellent Value
Summary: 5 Stars
Always excellent value and delivery from Amazon.com. If you need enclosed shelves, this is the best that I have found in the market. Easy to assemble and relatively attractive.Customer Review: Forewarned is forearmed!

Thanks to all those who wrote reviews with constructive points about the issues one can run in to when purchasing/building/using this item. I bought it, knowing that some people felt its fit and finish were not up to par, and that cutouts (from making the necessary assembly holes at the factory) were often stuck in the walls and/or not quite completely cut out. As I surmised, the first problem I mentioned was that the people assembling the item who were less astute about how these types of things work were not taking the necessary steps to insure proper fit, and the second problem was easily resolved by insuring that I removed all cutouts and shavings before beginning the assembly.
The only advice I can offer to amateur do-it-yourselfers is this:
When you install the walls/shelves/doors by pushing them over the four corner posts, you will notice that sometimes the plastic around the hole for the post buckles outwards, which will interfere with the fit of the next layer that goes on top of it (i.e. since it is buckling out, the next piece of wall/door/shelf will not fit flush on top of it). Ergo, you must tuck the buckling pieces back inwards so that they are out of the way when the next layer is installed. This (and insuring that all loose shavings/cutouts are removed before beginning installation -- they also can wedge in the way of a wall/door/shelf, causing an uneven fit) will help you achieve an almost perfect fit.
