Review of Keter Unity XL outdoor cabinet

[@petercritchley5317]

Hi, just like to say thanks for making this video , I bought the same Keter in the UK it came with No instructions, so I was pleased to see you showed how to put it together . In fact I think you’re the only video on here showing how to put this Keter prep table together 👍

[@kevinc1956]

Useful assembly video, thanks! The towel bar/condiments tray can be mounted on either side (L or R) of table, so it is good to give that some thought for what works best for your individual grilling set-up before or during assembly. It is important to follow the directions in order as someone else noted. Jumping ahead can cause problems because the parts that snap in place would be tough to separate if needed due to skipping a step. I had a few minor hiccups during assembly (which took me over a couple hours), but it seems like this is going to work OK for my grill area. I will probably pick up a cover for it as Amazon has some available.

I really appreciated this video. Just received my box yesterday 8/27/2021 opened it up it was without instructions so I watched your video. Thanks!

[@Jbatton1024]

Seriously thank you so much. Our purchase also came without instructions and we would’ve been lost without this video.

[@petergaida3797]

Thank you so much for putting this video together, you are obviously a tradesman because you put it together with ease, I followed your every step and it was concise and the process and order made it easy. I just dumped a large old family Weber and am out shopping tomorrow for a new one, probably a Q as I don't need a family size BBQ any more. Thanks again, if you were in Australia I would buy you a beer. Thanks again.

[@DIYflorida]

Im glad you found it helpful and ill take that virtual beer my friend! 🍻

[@loribailey6841]

Bought my husband one for fathers day..he can't wait to assemble it and put it to use. Great video.

[@retniretep9477]

So you bought a job for your husband on father's day. Didn't you think of assembling it for him if it was a gift for father's day?

[@anitapinto3855]

Your instructions were right on point. I appreciate your video help. Thank you!

[@stewartlancaster2745]

Many thanks for making this video, my package arrived without any instructions - god send, cheers mate, all the best from the UK...

[@DIYflorida]

That would suck! Glad i could help

[@jumbeeblack]

About to put mine together now. I also read the reviews and initially moved on to view other tables but when the price dropped to $113 I decided to give it a try. Thank you for the well informed video. Wish me luck, I'm going in!!! LoL

[@DIYflorida]

Good luck and thanks for the feedback!

[@OWN12S]

Thanks so much for this video. My purchase came without instructions. Your a life saver!!!

[@SSEBRD]

Great video with an excellent review! Thank you for making this video.

[@NicVanD]

great video, this looks nicer than expected. Glad I saw this, helped me make the decision to pull the trigger.

[@DIYflorida]

It is nice. Not a problem with it yet!

[@kmjllj08]

Thank you for this step by step... I put mine together by watching this.

[@julieruziskatiddy3694]

Thanks so much for posting this video. It was an excellent supplement to the picture directions provided. I love my new cabinet!

[@DIYflorida]

The cabinet is great! Thanks for the feedback

[@peggyeastburn9142]

Thanks for this video! Following along with you and the written directions gave me the confidence to put this together. I totally agree - EASY to install - great design - especially for the price.

[@sheldonkimura4793]

Got mine today, shipped to Hawaii. No issues. Got instructions too, lol. Great product for the price $145.00

[@CatherineSilvera]

Thanks, same situation also our purchase also came without instructions.

[@ninjaawesomebattlepower]

Love the dry test, thanks for doing that.

[@AugustVirgo82]

Ty! Im watching your video to put mine together because it came with no instructions

[@howietorres3633]

Your video was a game changer, thank you from Orlando.

[@rachelmccloskey6560]

Thank you for posting this! Very helpful to watch while putting together!

[@vanesahayden6562]

Thanks - i found this so helpful putting mine together

[@puertorock73]

Thank You for taking the time to make this review just ordered it.

[@DIYflorida]

Im very happy with mine. When the stainless top gets grimy from the elements it buffs up nice with a brillo pad.

[@waynegranzin3824]

i like your "locks" on the doors. : )

[@barbararuiz4630]

Same here!!! Got mine from amazon with NO INSTRUCTIONS

[@howtobuildasentientmachine211]

Nicely done and useful.

[@texascurdog1256]

DYI FL. Thanks, mine came without instruction.

[@opfla]

It wasn’t too hard to put together except being a 5‘5“ tall female laying it on its side and trying to put the two sides on and get them to click was hard because I’m not really tall enough to do that. I also had one piece left over and it was broken so I don’t know where it came from but everything got all put together fine and it wasn’t on the parts list; it has a number “2” on it, also there was a long rectangular metal bar that fell out of one of the pieces and I just left it out because I didn’t know if it was supposed to be there or not

[@DIYflorida]

It sounds like you are a resourceful person. Most would give up if things werent going their way, much less falling apart as they put it together!

[@opfla]

@@DIYflorida I’m just worried about what that rectangular metal bar was that fell out of one of the sides and I’m considering tearing the thing apart again so I can put it back in

[@DIYflorida]

@@opfla i did see a metal rectangular piece running lengthwise in the top and floor sections beneath the metal top. If you open the doors and look up there is a small cutout in the plastic where you can see metal underneath. It probably came from there. There looks to be four metal bars that support items placed inside the cabinet and on the shelf beneath the metal top

[@opfla]

@@DIYflorida so I may have to take it apart and put that rod back in! uh oh...

[@DIYflorida]

@@opfla i would look up in there first to see where the bar might be missing. If its the upper shelf i wouldnt worry about it, nothing that heavy would sit in that small area

[@fiosfiend]

Nice video, thanks for doing this. I just got one of these and sure enough, one of the first components in the box was defective. Part #D3 was actually melted on one end?! I called to order a new part and it's a 5 week turnaround. Sucks because I really need this. I got it from Walmart on line and really don't want to have to box it back up and lug it to Walmart to return.

[@jm4ntas]

Hey, thanks for the review! Would you be able to tell what are the dimensions (HxWxD) of the internal cabinet? Wondering if all of my big grill accessories would fit there.

[@DIYflorida]

No problem. Mine is roughly 42"L x 14.5"W x 18.5"H. The back panels pop in when assembled but when you fill it tight they will pop out too. I found that out after posting the video and was meaning to mention it, so just check the back after you fill it. Other than that it has been great!

[@bdawg8907]

Is the cabinet dark grey or a dark brown Color? Some pictures show slightly different Color. 😕

[@DIYflorida]

Not sure if you can get different colors but i have the dark grey. Like a charcoal

[@bdawg8907]

@@DIYflorida thanks 😊

[@thesesaltsarechippy]

Can you fit a 5 gallon bucket inside the cabinet?

[@DIYflorida]

Plenty of room

[@captaindj9790]

2 years later and it’s now $294 on Amazon.

[@Michael_Courtney]

I bought one. I wonder if any else added a shelf to the inside of the storage cabinet. I was debating making one or just buying something like a metal tiered rack.

[@DIYflorida]

It would be nice to have a shelf in there.

[@Michael_Courtney]

@@DIYflorida If anyone is interested, I added a shelf for the whole width for $7 making only 3 cuts. I bought a piece of 2'x4' 1/4" thick mdf at Home Depot. I cut 2 pieces measuring 14 5/8" x 20". They rest on the bump outs inside so no need for any additonal support and they butt up in the middle behind the middle support.

[@kevinc1956]

I assembled mine yesterday, and am thinking about adding a shelf inside the cabinet. I plan to store grilling tools inside the cabinet in four closed plastic boxes. Whether I install a shelf will depend on the size of plastic boxes I can get and how they will fit inside, but it’s good to know this method is available.

[@davebennett2482]

What size gas bottle do you think would fit in one of the cupboards? Thanks

[@DIYflorida]

You could fit a 20 pounder in the enclosure with the door closed.

[@scottburrow8293]

Another one of those that didn’t get instructions thank you! You think they would put a pdf on their website. Major fail on their part.

[@MsSkilgore]

I am having issues getting the long pieces to lock to the sides. When one side goes in the other pops out and I cannot get the keverage to get both to lock at the same time. Anyone else have this issue?

[@DIYflorida]

It has been a while since i put mine together but i kinda remember having to follow the sequence or things didnt go together right.

[@LoveNLight1111]

Great review!!

[@potatosalad9519]

how difficult is it to disassemble with all these locking pieces? do they unlock easy or is it a pain?

[@DIYflorida]

Id say the doors are the most difficult to pop out but you wouldnt need to break down all the locking parts to stow it for the winter

[@jonjondelacruz5463]

Great review, very helpful.

[@theattorney6072]

Great review thx!!! I have one question if you don't mind, would a gas bottle fit into it? Also I am planing on putting a camp chef stove on it, do you think it migh work?

[@DIYflorida]

I believe it might. The entire top and cross supporr beams are stainless so as long as the stove is centered on the top it shouldnt effect the plastic underneath

[@DIYflorida]

A small propane tank should fit underneath

[@theattorney6072]

@@DIYflorida thanks for prompt reply!!

[@DanGerPerm]

@@DIYflorida thanks a lot for the video! please tell me the inside height of the storage space, i doubt it can fit my propane tank, thank you very much!

[@DIYflorida]

@@DanGerPerm a standard 20 gallon tank fits in there and mine is almost full so there seems to be plenty of aupport for the weight. As long as the connecting valve doesnt poke up more than a few inches above the cage you should have no problem.

[@mitchellhinds5011]

Hi mate, did you have any issues or tips to getting the door off again? Thanks in advance

[@DIYflorida]

Hello, i dont think theyre supposed to come off but i took mine off with a flat tip screwdriver inserted into the slot where the hinge is located when it is open. Pry the tab down just to pass the nub in the frame and slowly close the door so you can pull it out as it closes.

[@doop6995]

Good man

[@mpharr2]

Can a propane tank fit inside? Want to put pizza oven on top

[@DIYflorida]

Tank could fit but the space is pretty well sealed, i would cut slots in the bottom to let any stray gas air out. You always have some gas bleed off and you dont want that swirling out when you open the door around an open flame.

[@DonJulioSippa]

They are almost $400 now😰

[@dleighmiller5]

Keep checking......I almost paid 400.00 last week and then suddenly price dropped to 235.00. The cost seems to jump all over the place!
