I love this armoire. I have no problems with the sturdiness on carpet. I recommend it highly.

Yes! I had to move the armoire up a few inches from the wall not only for the doors swinging out but for the top as well. Other than that, which isn't a big issue for me or my wife, it is however, sturdy. She loves it. It looks better in person.

I don't know about the carpet issue since I have hardwood floors but I have to keep my armoire about an inch from the wall because of the baseboards and the side and top doors open easily at that small distance. I love this armoire! I received it as a Christmas gift last year and it's exactly what I wanted!

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.

I have not seen a problem with this. It dosent rub against the door causing scoring. There is a very small gap of space so I don't have this problem

If you put the front against a wall, you will lose the ability to use the drawer and cupboards in front. If you put the back against the wall, you will lose the ability to put stools under the extendable breakfast bar and use the way it sounds like you would like. If you are okay with pushing the front with the cupboards against a wall and not being able to use them, I guess it would be okay. But for the price of this beautiful piece, I would maybe look for something a little cheaper if you aren't able to have it stand alone and use both sides.

Yes, it's fully open inside. There's no wall where the two doors meet. We love these cabinets!

The didnt have to take the back off to get it in my door, and I think I have a pretty standard door. I havent tried to take it off, but I dont think it comes off. One thing I didnt think of or see listed is, it is a wall hugger when it relclines so it dont take up extra room. It has been a great recliner!

I hung it on the wall behind the door and it works perfect for me. When the door is open, it hides the tie rack. I would think that hanging on the door would cause the ties to slip off since most ties are silk. Too much movement on a door.

I purchase my mirrored jewerly armoire about six month ago,and never wanted to mount it to the wall and have not. I have not had a problem with . I also have to say it is not in a place were I have contact of having to pass it everyday. Made sure all screws were tighten up securely and I have not had a problem.

I have found that if you close one side partially you can fit through a space smaller than the 28 inch width. you should only do this if you feel Comfortable with the limited support you I wil lhave for a few seconds. I have found that since you are going through a doorway you can lean on the doorframe why you are doing this. Again I would emphasize that this is not the recommended use of the walkerand I wouldOnly did this if I felt comfortable.

I unpacked and positioned multiple pieces from this collection and did not notice that. I sure haven't seen the "bottom" fail in anyway over the last 1.5 years. If there is cardboard, it isn't visible when the pieces are positioned on their feet with the back to the wall. I think they are a good value and great style. Could they be sturdier...Yes!, for this money & style, probably not. But I have not had any sturdiness issues with this collection of furniture. I would buy it again.

The door openings are a bit more narrow than the actual storage area they conceal! The opening on each small side door is 7 1/4 inches. The center two doors open together and the opening is 20 5/8 inches. I have had this unit for ALMOST two years, and it still looks and functions like new! By far one of the best pieces I have ever owned! When I tell people it was one of those un assembled pieces, they can not believe it. I own Thomasville Dining and Bedroom sets, and Winners Only roll top desks. I am no stranger to high end goods, and this piece blends in perfectly! Even looks BETTER than some of that high end stuff!Hope you go with it, and love it as much as I do! The door openings are a bit more narrow than the actual storage area they conceal!

Pam, it isn't completely distressed. It has a very elegant look to it, but beware that it is made of pressed wood, so when installing don't use power tools, it will open up the holes too much. Because of that, the doors on my unit no longer stay attached, but with the exception of that, the armoire is a nice piece of furniture. Hope this was helpul.--Shelly

On my house the mailbox sits nice and flush with the wall. There is just a slight bit of room so the lid will clear the wall and open all the way. Hope this helps you, because I have had no problems with my new box. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Maryann

the armoire is "61" tall and "32" wide and "20 1/2" deep. I leave mine in the open position when I have a lot of sewing to do. When it's closed, it makes the room look larger and neater. I love it.

Hi Janet. Actually, the side door opening is the smaller sides of the curio that open for easy reach into the cabinet to put items on the shelf. We do have some other curios where the "deep" side (front side) slide open, but this cabinet is not one of them. Let me know if you have any other questions at all.
