Vida Designs Panama 4 Drawer Chest Solid Pine Wood, Bedroom furniture, Waxed Oak Finish

Having seen previous buyers’ images I approached the assembly with caution. I took my time and started with the drawers to get a feel for the instructions. I used several different tools; a small cordless rotary tool for pilot holes (not necessary but helpful for me to keep the drawers square), an electric screwdriver, a ratchet screwdriver and a hammer. I am a pensioner with health issues so I built the drawers and the unit on my coffee table while sitting on my couch. I took my time, resting between drawer making and the unit assembly. It took about 6 hours but, I did not rush it, stopped for tea breaks and rests; it was hard to do but I don’t have much energy. The unit and drawers are solid wood, the back and drawer bases are hardboard. The drawers’ runners are made of MDF, unusual but very effective. The sliding of the drawers is smooth. I am very happy with the results of the two units I bought and built.

Unfortunately, like others have stated, this chest of drawers had broken parts; the top and both sides had major cracks. I decided not to return it, but to use wood clue to fix it as best as was possible. The finished drawers look good (as long as you don't look closely!), it is just a shame the product is so fragile.

This was very easy to assemble I'm 89 and it took me about 4 hours between tee breaks to complete it. I was concerned at first that this would not be very stable But I was wrong after fully assembled it's a strong rock free solid piece of furniture. I found when assembling the drawers to use the small piece of hardboard to line the long pieces with the draw sides and to use a small drill 1 to 2mm To make pilot holes in the end grain of the front and back of the draw to stop splitting, I also use wood glue on all the wooden pins and joints.

I don’t usually write reviews but as a new home owner trying to get by on your own I thought this would help others of the same. The picture above does make it look more luxurious than it is. This isn’t a greatly manufactured cabinet, few panels warped, splits in wood, dowels struggle to fit into place. However, when built it looks nice and does the job. Most bed side cabinets I’ve been looking at are roughly £100 each so unless you’re splashing on something of that value then this cabinet is pretty satisfactory. Personally I wouldn’t buy again I would look at spending a little bit more on something decent.

Quick delivery and all the bits in one box. Great value, solid construction and reasonable easy construction. Couple of tips. Instructions are typical flat pack type i.e. not great, but take your time and study the pictures. Plastic sack with all the screws and bits an bobs are not individually marked but there is a sticker telling you the order of the seperate pouches. Watch for the sticker and don't empty contents until you know what they contain and when to use them. Watch for screw A2 x2, its easy to miss where they go, as A1 screws make up 99% of the construction. Also make sure top goes on the correct way round , not clearly shown in instructions. Overall very pleased.

Some people are saying g that it is missing some holes . All you have to do is screw the screws into the wood that has no holes. The screw will fit really tight and you will get a solid fit with no loss bits. Just follow the instructions. It is a really nice chest of drawers. I would recommend buying the item. I am happy with my chest of drawers.

Nice sturdy bedside table , lots of space in drawers, looks nice, would definitely recommend this if you are on a budget

it’s cheap quality and built better to avoid it will start cracking the wood while assembling as it’s made of pieces of wood glued together and haven after that will break like glass

Very cute side tables. They are a little short for how tall our bed is, so we purchased 10cm legs to put underneath the tables to make them taller.

Llegó perfecto, bien embalado. Todas las piezas encajan a la perfección. Cómo sugerencia mejoraria las guías de los cajones.

Excelente ¡¡¡
