I bought this when I moved into my first house, as ikea was pretty much void of cheap furniture during move in week in my college city.
The pros: it’s pretty solid, compared to the cheap plywood from ikea. That’s pretty much it, as you get what you pay for. I bought it as it was the only thing between a night stand and a desk drawer that I could find on here, so I’m happy for what it is.
Cons: the instructions were decently hard to follow. I’m no carpenter, but I hold myself to building an ikea desk in under an hour. For them, the lack of words somehow helps as it’s easy to follow for the simplest of minds. These ones, damn I had a headache multiple times as I feel like the instructions skip over a good amount of the small details. I was looking for the file cabinet track thing around my house for like 20 minutes until I realized that it’s detachable. No mention of it. Another con is that all of the screws are the ones that have hook binders. Compared to ikeas hybrid systems with the pegs as well, this makes it heavier. Not by a ton, but noticeable.
Okay, the biggest thing that I hate about this thing is the way it’s packed. I’ve been cleaning styrofoam off of my floor for like 3 days now. I had to scrub white stuff off my clothes and the thing itself for like 10 minutes because the black wood was almost stained by it.
In my opinion, I think this is a good piece of furniture for anyone moving in for the cheap. Go ahead if you don’t have any other better preferences…
I mean it’sss alright…
