Steens 3022130034000F Richmond 4+2 Pine Chest of Drawers Brown

**edit 2019**These are still standing and used daily and been through a house move too. Excellent quality and standing the test of time 5 years on!**I must admit I didn't read other peoples' reviews before buying these drawers. And I'm glad I didn't.Yes, the instructions are not fabulous, but using some common sense and taking your time, these are a pretty good set of drawers for the money.the only problems I really encountered were my own failings of being able to put screws in straight, but this was nothing to do with the product itself.Half way through assembly, I had a look at the reviews and the only thing that I found was constructive, was to use an alternative glue to the one provided. I made sure that there was plenty wood glue where required to make sure of a decent hold.I now have filled the drawers and everything is staying in place as it should and it is pretty solid.In my opinion of building flat pack (which is my little obsession), the kit is pretty solid and sturdy. You could go to other shops and pay a lot more for what would turn out to be particle board and be a nightmare to put up and would look cheap and tacky, but this is proper wood and fits in with other pine units that I already have.

This flat-pack chest of drawers assembled easily and has been in use for some time with no problems of strength, rigidity or stability. It is a good piece of bedroom furniture and is as good as our other chest of drawers in our bedroom that was bought 'off the shelf', but was just a lot cheaper

A very lightweight and fragile model. Easy to put together, but the wood feels like it isn't very durable. The bottoms of the drawers seem to be made of balsa wood. The design instructs you to use glue to hold the fronts of the drawers on to the rest of the drawer, which led to the predictably dismal results of the drawers falling apart after a few weeks. Perhaps the quality of the glue is poor, but there are other ways to design a drawer!Very poor product!

Many reviews mention the drawers are just held on with dowels and glue - I guess the design has been updated as mine were held on with furniture cam locks which were much more solid with no chance of the fronts coming off. The order was missing a piece (one of the cam locks), but after contacting amazon they gave me a discount and I was able to easily order a replacement (from missingscrew.co.uk) for a couple of pounds which was much more convenient than returning the item and having a new one redelivered.Assembly was straightforward, taking a few hours, just need to be check the diagrams carefully to make sure parts are put together the right way round.One finished it looks good and is solid and nicely matches the two bedside tables from the same range which I had previously bought.

All of the drawer bases with poorly made and the back was poorly made apart from that the only other query I had was that the hadn't finished the painting on the undersides where it needed it but all in all value for money yes it's o

I ordered this at the end of May and the order and delivery were cancelled several times because of Covid. After this happened the 3rd or 4th time and I did not seem to be getting to the top of the order priority I wrote to complain - in fact I had ordered the matching bedside tables a few years ago and in the mean time my existing chest of drawers (a different brand and design) fell apart.it finally arrived three months after the original order but it is an excellent product. My experience putting together the previous products was helpful but the instructions were very helpful - specific holes for specific screws ( eg drawer fixings) was clearly marked. I put it together over several days in stages but it was very manageable.An attractive, well put together, well engineered product. I discovered a split on the top when almost complete, it looks a loose piece has fallen away along the grain but I am planning to wax and hopefully it will not show.

It took about four hours to assemble, and is quite fiddly, and you're well advised to glue anything that can be glued. We used a rubber mallet in places, and you need a good screwdriver. But it's solid, the drawers open and close smoothly, it feels secure and stable, and it looks great. The first one we got had a warped panel, but returns were prompt and easy, and the end result is really quite handsome. Very pleased with it. There've been mixed reviews of this, but my experience is that it's good quality and worth the time it takes to assemble. Excellent.Postscript: I said returns were prompt and easy, but it's just been returned back to me again and I've had to spend two hours talking to amazon customer services (who are excellent) to get the damn thing returned again. I won't be doing any more business with these people, it's just too much hassle.

On average these take an hour or so to put together.I bought a number of these (or HD them gifted to me). Originally I gave a 4 star review, but 2 years later the drawers are very literally just falling off, leaving hundreds of tiny metal beads everywhere from god knows where.They weren't perfect to start with but cheap and simple. Now I have 4 chests of drawers to replace almost simultaneously.I am not pleased.
