Many people said the parts are not numbered which is correct and should be fixed as it would save alot of time. I did not find it too difficult to build which I did myself but time consuming as I had to keep referring to the main picture. Good idea before you start is number all your parts. Look at the main picture and you can suss them out. This unit did take me all night to built but I just took my time and I am delighted with the end result. It is solid and will last a lifetime. I have used it to store dishes and items I won't need too often. Overall looks great in my livingroom. Would be a lovely piece to store in a dining room to store dishes and cutlery etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality for the price

Purchased after looking at numerous ranges and manufacturers but kept coming back to this one.Arrived in good time in two boxes which was easily lifted by one person.Once unpacked it looked quite daunting as there were a lot of separate pieces and the assembly booklet was about 36 pages along with a very large selection of screws, dowels and other fixings.The booklet advised of a two person assembly and a time of 90 minutes.Now over the course of time I have assembled many flat pack units, so I consider myself quite apt at these tasks.There were no numbers or letters on any of the pieces so you had to really study the pictures to ensure you had the correct part and the right way round/up etc.Extreme caution needed when assembling as the wood is very soft so do not over tighten any screws as there is absolute minimum distance between the end of the screw and the face of the panel, as I found out when one burst through the face side of one panel, but luckily for me it was on an end that would not be visible.Personally I found it easily managed on my own, a little tricky in places but perseverance and patients is the key.I completed the unit in just over two hours and I cannot emphasise enough on how good it looks when completed.Long story short, after much head scratching and a couple of colourful metaphors I am extremely happy with the end product and would highly recommend this unit to others.Pros: Looks, sturdiness and quality for the price.Cons: Tricky assembly and softness of certain pieces.Overall I am very happy and it totally compliments my living room :)

5.0 out of 5 stars End result is great but assembly is tough

The end product is really good, everything fits together like it should, no wobble and feels really sturdy which is impressive for the price. It’s a really good size and looks far more expensive than it is. No complaints there.Putting it together is a different story. It says you don’t need a drill but it doesn’t half help if you want to avoid blisters in your hands from driving endless amounts of screws in to places with no holes. The screws do turn in but with a drill you will save yourself endless amounts of time. There are no written instructions, only diagrams which are not great and very cluttered. There is also no labelling of the wooden components so there is a bit of guess work to figure out what is what. It took 2 of us a few hours and a bottle of wine to sort this out! But ultimately very pleased with the unit which is the most important thing.

I bought this for my mum as she fell in love, but it's not a soft grey at all it's more of a medium/dark grey. It took my poor mum 3 days to assemble and most of the wood didnt have pilot holes in causing the wood to chip upon assembly. It looks nice up but it is darker than anticipated, it definitely could have been a bit cheaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent

Step by step instructions. Looks a bit daunting at the start but comes together nicely

This sideboard arrived damaged.Suspect it had been a return due to the amount of faults.Literally pieces with holes ( would require wood filler etc) aA lot of dark marks on several pieces.Almost grease type stains on several pieces.Paint work patchy and thinRough finish of wood in several pieces including door fronts.Requested a return.Very, very poor quality overall.A shame as the style of the sideboard looks really good.I notice there are several reviews with similar issues.
