One reviewer stated she has to tie the door knobs together to keep the doors shut, and that the doors sag if filled with media. Do other customers concur with these opinions?

We do not have to tie the doors to keep them shut. However, our cabinet is not filled and the doors are not filled.

Yes. It needs better hinges. I think that once the hardware is upgraded the problem can be prevented. It looks great, but unfortunately they cut corners to maximize profit.

I have had this video cabinet about 6 months now. It is filled literally and am having no problems with it at all.

I believe my husband somehow adjusted the doors because they were not hanging right when filled on our older storage cabinets.

I love it and have had no issues and I have dvd's on the doors, they close perfectly. Looks wonderful in my family room. It is one of the best pieces of furniture I have purchased online.

As I don't have the doors full of media I don't know if they would sag. About half full it works great. No door problems so far

None whatsoever door works like a charm,just make sure it is installed by someone who knows what they are doing....

The picture is a bit deceiving - the doors actually slide into the middle position to allow access, not open outwards. So if there are ever issues you can just leave the door "open" but without getting in the way. If that doesn't work for you - the doors are not too bad to get off.

Yes. I actually totally recommend it. The doors are the major weakness in the design. It's a tiny plastic connection that you insert into the grid to add the door. They are very unstable and fall off all the time. Finally, I just removed them all. In wish they were more dependable. I still love the rest of the shelf.

I can't answer that, but we have not had any issues with the door latching.

I haven't had problems opening or closing. Id say as long as the door latches its secure but it can be adjusted to your liking

Bolts on the tightening knobs ride inside the channels. When you tighten they pull against the channel locking the gate in place.

We installed the doors, but they were not square and would not close properly. I would not recommend these doors. They are not well built and thinner than I expected.

I think so. The door shuts nice and snug. I did notice at the very bottom of the door- that there is a very small portion that is not sealed but not a problem for me with dust. I love this cabinet!! It is beautiful, well made and the delivery was great. I can honestly say I have no complaints at all. It is frightening ordering something online this big but I would do it again and get the same exact cabinet. I may order another one.

i'm not saying it's absolutely so, but i think if you gently close the door, push the button in and don't slam it, it'll be ok. it may be that this unit was build for a more thoughtful culture than the average american sense of self provides...? but, anyway, so far so good with mine.

Our installer told us the fridge had to be tipped slightly backwards to secure gravity assisted closure of the doors. Strictly level does not do it. Our installer was home depot who said they see this all the time. Our doors snap shut perfectly.

Yes but I would suggest not to buy because the cabinet construction is bad it wabbles when opening and closing the door not worth the money I paid

No there are heavy duty zippers on both sides and small eyelet holes to roll the door up and tie to keep open.

Yes. Without anything to hold the sections in place they will be pretty unstable. I used a few hollow door anchors and screws in the lower sections, and the unit stays put. Otherwise the bottom sections would sway whenever you open or close the door.

Hi Jessica. This is a great idea but, unfortunately, the cabinet doors do not have to be very thick for the door not to close. I think ours are about three-quarters to an inch wide. My daughter still uses it but it makes me crazy that the door doesn't close.

The doors have adjustable hinges just like many kitchen cabinet doors. The adjustments allow you to position the doors for proper alignment, but may take a little time. Being a senior woman I would be more concerned about the weight of the unit, you will need help.

I'm sure you have the magnets in place on the doors to hold them closed. Like any other piece of furniture with doors if they are out of alignment they won't stay closed. Is the unit level. Meaning those center supports under the center I actually took out because were to big causing a slight arc in the unit. That could be a problem. Also, if you try loosening the screws on the hinges to allow the doors to settle and screw them in lightly and evenly that might help. All I can think of.
