I started to put it together and got as far as step 3. See that red circled part G? Yeah, they didn’t put that in the box.

And of course it was the only one that Target had. I’m taking it back and getting a refund . That’s one of those things that should never happen. I could understand being short a screw or a nail but a fu cking board? Fuck you, Sauder. Never considering one of your products again.

P.S. I went to their website and looked for a phone number and it's staffed M-F regular business hours only.

That sucks, I have run into similar situations and contacted the manufacturer and had no problem getting a part sent, but if you don't want or don't have the time to wait it well and truly sucks.

“finished edge” = eww, veneer over particle board.

Hah. I have some of the Threshold flat pack furniture in my bedroom, all “eggshell” or some similar color, but one of the drawer backs is navy blue for no reason. At least the part was in the box even if the color is completely wrong.

Well, I'd considered teak or a nice mahogany, but then I remembered it's just for over the shitter. So particle board it is.

I’m happy with pine.

I already didn’t like that it didn’t have cabinet doors on it, but it was the only one Target had that wasn’t white. So since Sauder doesn’ t want to staff their help line on weekends and I don’t really want a half-assembled piece of furniture in the way for however long it’d take for them to send me the piece, I’m taking it back.

I’m irritated. I wanted to have this and the IKEA end tables finished by the time my partner came home, but now I probably won't have any of it done.

I would have been ok with that, tbh.

Particle board isn't always excited about being near water. Just a thought.

I've had a few of them over the years and they all last fairly long. At least for the price.

Old Sauder: “oh, you lost some of the hardware for our computer desk? We need to charge you $9.95 for shipping to send replacements .”
Me: “Oh, well. Guess I’m stuck.”
Old Sauder:

New Sauder: “You’re missing the instructions? You can get them on our website. ” (No you can’t.) 
Me: “No. The hardware package .”
New Sauder: “That’s impossible. You clearly just misplaced it.”
Me: “No, I did not. It wasn’t in the box. I got no screws at all.”
New Sauder: “Nope. We don’t make mistakes like that.”
Me: “I’m not blaming anyone. Mistakes happen. I just need a - ”
New Sauder:

Pine? Eeeew.  Not a fan.
