My most challenging purchase from taobao.

[grevq80o]

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. 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.

lucky u never buy clothes closet. that one luggi worse.... you don't have toolbox, better don't buy from taobao.. buy from IKEA better - they provide the tools and also instructions.

there is a reason why taobao is so much cheaper, a shoe cabinet or cloth closet isn't just the material material cost but also also labor cost to assemble.

True but where to find such design cabinet to suit ur requirements. I couldn find it that is why I made such purchase.

My neighbor bought bedframe , dinning table , laminated floor planks, book shelving , plants racks .....easy for them to assemble as they have the tools

It's not about drawing line. Everyone has their own responsibility.
I am a homemaker . I mange the things in my house and my hubby brings home the bread.

Oh hubby helped me to break up the crate into smaller pieces so that it could dispose into the general bin

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

Later will take a pic of the front view. All doors n drawers all well-aligned.

Maybe is to contain the smell?
