Wayborn Ava Computer Armoire

Comments about Wayborn Ava Computer Armoire:

The cabinet looks nice on the outside for the most part. The side panels show unfinished wood since the finish was sprayed after it was put together and the panels have shifted from movement (panel movement is normal in this type of construction and is normally fine, it is fairly sturdy). The slide out tray uses standard drawer slides (Cheap and not supportive), I ended up buying heavy duty, full extension ball bearing slide rails from [...] to replace them ($15, there the same type used for file drawers). I also replaced the 2 small drawer slide rails ($6/set) since the finish was sprayed on after the rails were installed and they just didn't slide well, also had to remove the file drawer slides and clean with a wire brush for the same reason. I also ended up painting the inside of the lower cabinet as it was completely unfinished and a real dust magnet. The upper shelf is hollow (frame with plywood covers, actually sturdier than solid wood for long term use)it allowed me to install disk lights (under counter style) and run the wire through the inside of the shelf and run the wires straight out the back, just need to drill a couple holes. The outside finish is OK, the inside could have been sprayed a little more evenly (looks like an amature paint job) and it would have been nice to have a polyurethane coat or better sealer on it. I would also recoment getting some better slidders for the feet, they just put on a cheap plastic slider of which one was already broke when I receiced it, also a couple minor stress fractures in the wood nothing major though. The main reason I did not return it was I love the Asian/Geometric style on the outside and no one else has anything like it. So if you don't mind doing a little work it is a decent peice.
