Steens Richmond 3 Door Wardrobe, Cream & Pine

The construction of this wardrobe should only be attempted by people who are not likely to kill each other in the process.This is a very smart looking product although a bit flimsy, but it was very inexpensive so I wasn't concerned with that.If you are a methodical and neat person you should have no trouble putting it together.Do not attempt it if you expect it to be as simple as an IKEA kit, because it isn't. But it looks a lot more furniture like.I would suggest that all the screws and components are counted out into little pots (I used ramekins) and numbered with the number of the appropriate part ( I used page markers), the day before construction starts.Stick rigidly to the order of the pictures in the booklet, and you should be OK.Finally, if you can survive this as a couple, you really are in love.

Whilst one wardrobe was good and everything fitted together the second wardrobe had several faults. When putting in one of the side panels the wood was so thin that the fittings are coming through the outer casing. Trying to get in touch to have the side panel replaced

AVOID. Instructions easy enough to understand and not too long to build, however.... the fixings of various types and sizes (of which there are a couple of hundred) are not in index blister packs ready for use, they come conveniently in one plastic bag ready for you to tip out and measure the length of every fixing. After an hour of sorting the build begins. I put every component together first, built the drawers and fitted the runners etc in a different room to that which the wardrobe would be located. Overnight I lay the warped top and bottom panels on a flat surface with a heavy weight on top in a vain attempt to straighten them out. The following day I only had to piece the carcase together using camlocks.... disaster! The sides of the wardrobe are only about 12mm thick and the camlocks are about the same! Result... when you tighten the camlocks they push their way through the decorative end panel cracking the high gloss finish. Arranged a refund through Amazon which was approved ( return at my expense) Because of the weight and size of the three boxes this was quoted at around £60, coupled with the fact that it took so long to put it together I decided to keep it until I bought something far better. SAVE YOUR MONEY....THIS IS CHEAP TAT

good quality

The wardrobe looks good now it's up but it was a nightmare. The parts arrived in packaging that we were warned not to damage in case we needed to return the goods; it wasn't possible to get the stuff out without ripping the packaging. Then we found no instructions, so contacted the seller and instructions arrived via email the next day. However, none of the parts matched the instructions, so we again contacted them. This time they sent the correct instructions. Construction was awful! None of the furniture parts were labelled and the instructions appeared to be for two different products, though this wasn't made clear, so we wasted a lot of time looking for parts that weren't there. We followed the instructions PRECISELY - you spend a lot of time putting fixings in and then all the pieces slot onto them. But some of the fixings were in the wrong place because the instructions were wrong. Five hours after starting it was complete. The other reviewer who said this is a test of your marriage, I wholeheartedly agree.

this item was purchases for £419. being unable to build myself I hired a carpenter to do the job.the instructions were not very helpful. the quality was very poor, the main supports are only 12mm thickwhich makes the unit unstable.on top of this, as I stated it was purchased for £419 (18th august) today they are selling at £270.I think this tells its own story.

Although it seemed flimsy when first put together, once in situ and filled, perfectly sturdy!

a lovely spacious wardrobe and four drawers.im really pleased with it I've even purchased a five drawers chest,
