Amazon Basics Rustic Pine Sideboard with 2 Doors & 2 Drawers, 76 x 86 x 40 cm

The reviews on these pieces of furniture (Corona) are very divided, so I'll give my reasons for giving such a high rating in the hope it helps. None of the pieces arrived broken, and none were missing. I found the instructions fine - my history of reading so many lego instruction books along with numerous flat pack furniture diagrams have probably given me the right experience though. What I will say is that I agree with the other reviewers that not having the pieces labelled adds a lot of time, and I advise you to take that feedback on board if you do buy it. I went through the instructions before unpacking everything, and made sure to figure out what piece it was I was taking out and label it in pencil myself. I guarantee this makes the assembly much, much easier. When it comes to assembly, I will say that this is not your typical flatpack. The upside of that is that once put together, it definitely seems very sturdy, and also looks fantastic. For the money you're paying, you're getting one good looking piece of furniture, composed almost entirely of actual wood instead of composite. I can definitely understand why other people have had issues putting it together. I myself used an impact driver to speed up all the screwing, but I've had a lot of practise using one from when I was a plumber. I would advise using an electric screwdriver / impact driver, because otherwise your hands will be very, very tired and you're temper much worse by the end. A plea to the manufacturer - an extra one of each screw would be the cherry on top. (I say this because I broke one of the hinge screws...) From start to finish this took 3 and a half hours, from opening the box to positioning the finished product. Slow and steady does it, with of course a few tea breaks. All in all, like the title says I think this is extremely good value for money. Yes, you put the effort in, but you're left with a really wonderful piece of furniture that has cost much less money, and only a little more time.

Hi there this unit arrived on time with no bits missing but is long and heavy 40 kg it’s a lovely unit but when putting together the wood is not marked at all meaning too say the instructions doesn’t tell you A go’s too A and so on so if you you are not experienced at flat pack it will take you a lot longer too assemble as which bit of wood go’s wear when putting it together as well the shelf is held up inside with 4 bits of plastic and this means too say any weight on the shelf will break the plastic please use too small L shaped brackets 4 of them not supplied this will do the trick and hold the shelf and weight in place. instructions need too be better clarity as what go’s wear when putting the unit together it make take some time due too the above and please check the wood top as if not straight this could be a problem talking about the wood it is good quality pine but it’s a pity they cut though the knots in the wood which can lead too the knots comeing way so leaving you with a bit of a hole lucky I did not have this problem all the doors fit nicely if a bit stiff too the drawers are also slightly out at the back and the drawer base should have been wood not thin cardboard bottom as weight will bend and break over time the backing is made of the same thin ply wood like cardboard it add taken me 4 hours due too poor instructions which is confusing when putting it together if your ok and experienced at flat pack then you should be ok but it’s not for the faint hearted please take your time as you will see what I mean when putting it together sturdiness is very good when all done and looks lovely if you want too you can varnish it or a bit wood dye but I think it look nice as it is value for money well no not with the instructions and wood not numbered this unit was selling a lot cheaper but some one put the price up buy £30 pounds over 1 month it’s a shame they did this but all said and done it does looks very nice and fits well in my lounge ps quality control would not go a miss too thank you I hope this review helps

Bought to match the lamp table I recently purchased. As always, I check and double check before assembly as it is so easy to muck up when things aren't labelled properly. Took just under an hour to assemble and a further 48 hours to finish off after applying a matt varnish. Looks very nice and is not obtrusive in a small terraced house.

The cabinet arrived promptly and safely packaged, in intact condition. Being a typical woman (who was mad enough to embark on house decorating during husband long absence), I was dreading putting this together. Not being a sexist, I am a typical woman and not an engineer... But the instructions are really clear, thorough and detailed. I would say follow them diligently, unless you are an DIY expert. I have made only couple of small, correctable mistakes. One of them was loosing one of two screws for a door handle, and then not being able to find in B&Q similar one. I have contacted the seller of the cabinet eventually and they just immediately sent me the missing screw with no fuss or charge, so very pleased with their service. Three months later, the cabinet looks fab and serves us well. It is very sturdy, gets lots of compliments and everyone thinks it was a pricey piece. It stand in my son playroom, treated roughly and taking it with not a scratch. Yes, it did take a whole evening to put together (on my own, with zero previous experience), but it was worth an effort and I can only rate it ***** Thanks!
