Vida Designs Denver 5 Drawer Chest of Drawers Grey – Modern Wooden Storage Unit

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.

It was a fiddly job for two of us.It's best to read through thoroughly first before starting, as we found there was meant to be screws in the middle where we thought that it would be the same fixtures as the outsides.We also found the drawers did not align, but quickly discovered (in our case for the 8 drawers 12 and 13) need to be placed exactly as it says in the instructions, 12s on the left and 13s on the right, now they sit perfectly. The size of the drawers are perfect for us as we will be using them for our two young children.

Easy to put together. Decent quality. Looks really good. And drawers close nicely and smoothly when done right....not as deep as I had hoped but not the drawers fault lol. So decent storage . They're not flimsy.Issues: if you get them wet the layer on top will go weird. So use coasters and stuff otherwise it does chip.Some holes weren't lines up great but it was still easy to do.

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.

really impressed with delivery, starting to build the drawers with clear instructions, happy with quality & happy with the price - so very happy!

Drawers look great and went together well, however, after building them, I noticed what seems to be an attempt at a damage repair. It looks as if the edges of 3 of the drawers have been damaged, filled and then painted as paint is flaking away and is of a different colour.

Easy to build, great value for money
