Bought a 1.6m shoes cabinet. Super heavy for me to assemble the outer panel. No help from hubby. Heng MIL helped me to hold the outer panel while I did the alightment. Tat would be my first n last purchase of such furniture from taobao. No electric screwdriver. And each time I had to standby wipes n cordless vacuum cleaner to clean n mop the floor. Panels n parts have to much dust

What is ur first and would be ur last purchase from taobao?

Pic should have more panels and parts but forgotten to take a pic before assembly.

i saw shoe cabinet no need assemble one, just need pull and it stands in place lol

i bought 2 plastic box stacks for shoes, they are fragile but still do the job of isolating dirty shoes ...
dun see the need for wood cabinets for shoe really

Bought a 1.5m shoes cabinet. Super heavy for me to assemble the outer panel. No help from hubby. Heng MIL helped me to hold the outer panel while I did the alightment. Tat would be my first n last purchase of such furniture from taobao. No electric screwdriver. And each time I had to standby wipes n cordless vacuum cleaner to clean n mop the floor.

Assemble along corridor or stairwell easier.

My finished product . Final steps lots of adjustments so that door panels n drawers would be alightment properly next to one another. Taobao assembly manual is really ****. The guided video showed a few error in sub assembly and I only discovered during final assembly

my last purchase with taobao was years ago

can't be bothered to deal with the navigation through all the mandarin text, consolidation and whatnot

i just pay more in exchange for less hassle and less diy

looks pretty good. price and roughly how much savings?


Mensurement
Length 160cm
About Sin$140 , haven included shipment. I ordered 1 cubic purchases.


It's not about saving. I could find such design , color (to blend well with my living room furnitures ) and it comes with 4 drawers to put my 4 mens' socks

Actually quite easy. The problem with locals is they rarely use mandarin to communicate n write. That is why hard to communicate with sellers.
