Mercers Furniture Corona 5 Drawer Narrow Chest Solid Wood Mexican Pine

ii want to say i am delighted with the set of drawers very solid piece of furniture ..looks great in our bedroom on to a comical side now the instructions say 1 hour 20 mins for assembly correct if there is a team of 10 people all with motorized wrists.. i am, a mechanical fitter and the drawers took 4 hours to assemble as there are so many screws and parts ,however if you do not mind a bit of graft i can say the lengthy assembly procedure is well worth it as they look amazing and i will now be buying another set of these drawers as i think if i stain them they will make an excellent sideboard for our living room so great purchase very pleased and highly recommend

Really impressed with this furniture. It arrived in good time and well packaged in flat pack. Buyers should probably be warned that this packaging is heavy, it’s possible to handle it with one strong person but certainly not easy as it’s very heavy and the packaging is quite large. I had it delivered to work where I struggled getting it into my car. This was complicated further as I do not have rear seats that collapse or fold down and only just managed to wedge the box in the rear seats. Being quite large I assembled the furniture downstairs as it requires a lot of space to work out and gather the contents while having enough room to build the unit without hindering yourself avoiding frustration. The assembly instruction were simple to follow which I found a breath of fresh air. The unit was assembled within two hours whereby I recommend the following tools: Electric screwdriver; this is essential as there is A LOT of screws. Without one I think you will find, apart from wrist ache, that assembly time will double. Quickclamp; if you need to assemble this alone then you will need a clamp to aid and hold pieces one end of the furniture while you fix the opposite side. If you have the luxury of another pair of hands then this is all you need. Once assembled you will need at least one other person to move the furniture into place unless it’s put together in the room it will be housed. The furniture itself looks stunning and matches really well with two smaller bedside Corona cupboards I purchased six months previously.

Much like the others I would suggest that you build this with another person. I did it alone and it took me about 5-6 hours. This was more than likely due to the instructions not being the clearest. When built it is a substantial and sturdy chest of drawers but there are a couple things that let it down. The main issue was that after securing the wooden runners for the drawers( which are just pre drilled blocks of wood), some of the screws had gone right through the side of the unit and are now visible which is extremely annoying. This is either because some of the holes were drilled too deep into the runners meaning a few the screws were then too long or the wood is so soft that they bored through the runners in a effort to tighten up. Also the bottoms of the drawers are very flimsy and bendy which is a shame as the rest of the unit is solid. For the money though, once built I am quite satisfied. Anyone thinking of buying this though, watch out when screwing the drawer runners on!

The company communicated well informing me what day they would deliver with the option of changing the day. Closer to the date they gave me a time window. Very pleased with furniture although instructions could have been clearer.

I love these. I bought two for my living room and not bedroom. Plus the matching coffee table and TV stand The instructions state they're a 2 man job to build but I managed myself although the first took me 4 hours with about 3 regular screwdrivers. I bought a cordless screwdriver at the same time after reading a review recommending the use of one but that arrived two days after I had put together all 4 pieces of furnirure by hands that should be bleeding as they were that sore! There are lots of dowling. I glued these in with PVA, that was the best bit! There was one drawer runner missing out of one of the cabinets but I emailed the manufacturer the details and was sent two replacements within 2 days. Solid wood, definately would recommend. I love them. They look very expensive but aren't :) But do get a cordless screwdriver to help you. It would have been great if they were all alan key type screws but they're all philips (apart from a couple of flat nose screws on the coffee table)

Absolutely brilliant

I have just spent a couple of hours putting the frame of the chest of drawers together, only to find that the top panel doesn't fit, because one of the pre-drilled holes is not quite in the right place. It cannot even be forced to fit. I am absolutely exhausted with the effort of putting it together: it is necessary to use lots of muscle behind the screwdriver, and so now I am not willing to take it apart again for it to be collected. I have asked the seller to meet the cost of a carpenter to drill a hole in the correct place so that the top panel will fit. Will keep you posted. The supplier sent me a replacement top panel, after I painstakingly provided detailed measurements. Therefore I continued to try to put together the chest of drawers. Really, unless you're a DIY specialist or a carpenter, I wouldn't recommend it. I've put together furniture from IKEA and MFI and various other suppliers without too much trouble, where all the holes are predrilled and it's just a matter of turning a key. But in the case of this item, there are screws that need to be screwed into wood, without any predrilled holes, using brute force - and 52 nails which need to be hammered in: not to be recommended if you're a musician and need all your fingers and wrists intact (it's a strain on the wrists to screw the screws in using force). In an attempt to put the drawers together, the side panels need to be screwed into the front panel without any predrilled holes, and on the two drawers I've attempted so far, the screws- instead of being embedded entirely into the wood of the front panel, have split the wood on the front panel, and appear inside the drawers. Also, a number of the different sections don't fit properly, and now that the top panel is on, and the ply backs are hammered in, there is a central piece of wood attaching front to back which has completely unslotted itself. After the hours I've spent so far trying to put this thing together, it doesn't look like I'm going to get a chest of drawers out of this; I could try hiring a carpenter, but I don't know if he or she could get the pieces to fit; and by the time I've paid someone to do that, I could have bought a much more expensive piece of furniture, instead of the quality budget furniture I wanted and can afford. And then there are still two front drawer panels with split wood and exposed screws on the inside of the drawers.

I carried out the same assembly procedure as I have done with the last ten pieces of the Corona range. As I always assemble a unit dry to check that all component parts fit together correctly; this time it paid off ! Four of the five draws would not fit the carcase due to the draw runners being oversize; this was corrected by running a hand plane on the offending draw runners until the draws slid in and out with no binding. The unit was then broken down and re-assembled using wood glue and the supplied screws. When finished it is a handsome unit which I use for the storage personal documents. I have said in previous previews my preference is to dispense with the distressed look and colour match all units. All the Corona range assembled “out of the box” serve the purpose for which they were intended; but time spent in getting rid of the flaws they become outstanding pieces of solid wood furniture. Yes, you can assemble most of these units in a few hours but spend a few days or more in finishing off the component parts the rewards are great, you do not have to be a cabinet maker just time and a little TLC. Tip: In section 05 of the assembly order it shows the draw runners (9) being fixed into place. My preference is to fix the draw runners at stage 01 apart from the top pair which is fitted after the top has been screwed down as this gives clearance when screwing down the top.

Bonita cajonera de madera de pino natural. El montaje es largo (1 persona unas 2h) pero relativamente fácil y está bién explicado en las instrucciones. La madera es blanda y se marca con facilidad, pero es lo que tiene el pino. Viene con un leve barniz o protector mate. Los cajones no tienen guía de ruedas sino guía de madera. De momento se mueven bién.

Das Stueck sieht aus wie auf dem Bild da kann man nichts sagen, ABER die Verarbeitung des Holzes ist vom Lehrling gemacht worden........ Kein einziges Loch war vorgebohrt wo man Holzstuecke zusammnefuegen musste. Die Loecher wo Schrauben reinmussten waren ungleich gebohrt so dass die Schrauben anstatt anzuschlagen durch die Holzwand durchkamen und so ein Loch in die Seitenwand gemacht haben. Dies gleich bei 6 von 9 Schrauben. Wir mussten zu OBI gehen und besser passende Schrauben kaufen.

Sono rimasto veramente soddisfatto da questa cassettiera che però sembra più un settimanale. Arrivata tutta da montare con un po' di pazienza in circa 1 ora era pronta e devo dire che la solidità mi ha stupito, nonostante la leggerezza del legno. La finituta è abbastanza grezza, ma era quello che cercavo e quest'ultima lascia la possibilità di dare diverse sfumature. Spedizione come sempre eccezionale.

Cassettiera stupenda non particolarmente grande ma i cassetti sono capienti e il terzo partendo dall alto é bello fonfo.Acquisto condigliato .Incantevole.

Pensaba que era más alta de lo que realmente es. Por lo demás es perfecta. Fue fallo mio no comprobar el tamaño.
