Vida Designs Denver Drawer Chests (Black, 8 Drawer)

This is a cheap set of drawers, however, at the price it represents true value for money. Contrary to another review I find that it’s sturdy and robust. It went together well without problems, the instructions are clear and it was easy to build. The drawers open and close smoothly. The base of the drawers are a little thin and made of hardboard, however there is a central brace for added strength. All in all better than expected at the price.

I’ve only given this unit a 1 star because a 0 wasn’t possible. Yes guys I know it’s cheap but it is absolute filth to market what is essentially mashed up chipboard with a thin white veneer as ‘furniture’. None of it fit together properly, it splintered and chipped everywhere with minimal pressure, the bottom back support snapped when putting the sides on, the outer shell had gaps all over so the drawers then wouldn’t sit on the runners, the drawers themselves either sat in wonky or didn’t sit in at all. Without the drawers in it swayed with minimal touch and I have no doubt that it wouldn’t take a decent amount of things within them if it even went together well. If you can afford even a £50 boost for something better then do it. I’ve been using flat pack for close to 20 years and not one piece in that whole time has been as alarmingly bad as this. There was satisfaction in smashing the entire lot into the bin though, so perhaps the one star is warranted for that alone. AVOID.

Good sturdy set of drawers, easy to put together

Looks great lots of screws instructions not very clear very sturdy mark very easy drawers easy closed

The drawers have some pros and cons. They arrived as expected, and after reading previous reviews, I wasn't surprised to find that the quality isn't great—they're quite flimsy. However, considering the price point, this was somewhat anticipated.On the positive side, while the drawers are shallow, they serve their purpose adequately for light use. They fit well in the designated space and are functional for storing smaller items.If you're looking for budget-friendly storage and are willing to compromise a bit on quality, these chests might suit your needs.

Easy to put together and very sturdy

Oh how I wish I could leave a 0 star review. This is by far the worst piece of furniture I have ever had the displeasure of assembling. Now I’m no Bob the Builder, but I often credit myself with the ability to build anything with ease, as long as there are clear instructions. I have built bookshelves, beds, wardrobes in record time. In fact, I find it enjoyable. This godforsaken dresser, however, could not possibly be any worse to assemble. Where should I start? The fact that half of the panels are incorrectly numbered? Or no, maybe the fact that the material is so flimsy that if a fruit fly lands on it, it might dent. Certainly can’t leave out the god awful instructions that can’t even be considered instructions given the lack of instructing! It’s as if the manufacturer didn’t realise they were supposed to be making an instruction manual, not a children’s book with barely any pictures and no writing. In fact, that would be a disservice to children’s books, because at least you can understand what’s going on in those even with just the pictures!Honestly, save yourself the trouble and just fork out a little extra money for something that wont collapse like a house of cards when you a leave the window open and it catches a breeze.Would make a fantastic gift for someone who finds comfort in smashing their head into the wall. Building this has the same effect.

They look the part. Very clean and fresh but they do not hold anything! The drawers were tiny. 2 T-shirts and one pair of trousers per draw. Not even worth 100 pounds. Drawers are shallow and short. Would not recommend for one person yet alone a family!!!
