Vladon Ben V3 Sideboard, Cabinet with 3 Doors and 2 Drawers, Black matt/Grey High Gloss (117 x 74 x 36 cm)

This Cabinet is good, the assembly took some concentration and organisation but it wasn't impossible. I assembled this solo with no major issues. The instructions are pictures and there were a few extra screws. I got a little confused when some of the brackets were already attached to each other. I emailed customer services as I thought I was missing something for the doors and they were really friendly, helpful and clear (turns out the bits were all there) Using it as a Tv cabinet and the push open function works. Got the matt front to minimise finger prints. Happy with this. I rate their customer services.

Off the bat, this product comes in 2 packages, and you’ll probably get them on different days. Bit awkward to put together but that’s down to the instructions not being as clear as some other flat pack products. I’d slightly agree with some of the negative comments regarding the doors not being flush but you can work round this by playing about with the hinges and although not 100% flush, the doors on mine open and close just fine. Pretty sturdy, I was able to slide it into place without it feeling like it was going to collapse. Overall, for the price, you can’t really go wrong. If you want something better you’ll just have to spend more money, but if you’re on a budget this will do the trick.

sturdy easy instructions but it was a pain to set up clipping the doors on was a tad fiddley but it's all set up and looking beautiful even better that my twins can't figure how to open the doors and they push and then they open. Ours arrive with high gloss top and bottom which was a plus as it matches all our living room furniture

This looks great and was a good price. But the mechanisms for the doors and drawers to open were not durable, after a month or 2 they had broken or fallen apart. With a bit of DIY it managed to last a bit longer, but we got what we paid for I guess.

Probably up there with the worst piece of furniture I have bought. Firstly instructions are basic and some of the print was very lightly printed was hard to read at times, then it comes to the part where you atttach the doors..........they just simply do not aline properly at all I need to open both cabinet doors at the same time and close them both at the same time or they simply DO NOT SHUT. As for these being described as Matt finish its more like the old Black Ash furniture from back in the early 90s really disappointed!!!

Well-constructed item, with clear, easy to follow instructions. It looks very good. Delivery was prompt and efficient. It blends perfectly with its smaller version, to provide a stylish, useful means of storage.

Like many other reviews, this product does seem to be hit and miss and from what I can see - most issues appear to be with the matt black one I purchased. The instructions do take quite a lot to take in, and need reading several times for each step so not the best (but admittedly not the worst either). There are so many parts for this and having laid them all out ready for the build, I realised that several of the shelf stops were missing. Quick call to the support line and once I had confirmed my address and order details, they posted out replacement parts for me. So - onto the build itself and overall quality of the product is what lets it down. Like many others, I found that aligning the doors is an absolute nightmare - now I am a seasoned flat pack builder and this is the first product I have built where the doors just do not align. The left door once opened grates against the frame and the right hand door just will not sit flush or hang properly - even after playing with the brackets for several days, the best I can get is so at least the thing closes but cannot be used. The draws and the press stud fixing supplied are not the best either - the second draw works but the top draw does not so it is a challenge to open! Basically, I have paid for a shelf to display our photo frames as the storage elements of this unit just do not work or function. I am now saving for a better product and once ordered, this will be broken down and taken to our local recycle facility. Very disappointed with the spend and result - even great support does not redeem a rubbish product.

Once assembled it looks great, its sturdy, solid and sleek. However it took over 5 hours to assemble - the instructions read poorly and it is quite complicated. Id recommend only buying if you are quite efficient in flat packing or prepared to pay a handyman to assemble
