Vladon Ben Sideboard, Cabinet with 2 Doors and 2 Drawers, White matt/Sand grey High Gloss (79 x 74 x 36 cm)

Overall i am happy with the look of this cabinet, bearing in mind it is not the most expensive piece of furniture it looks very contemporary and stylish.Putting it together is not too hard as long as you follow all the instructions, make sure you have the right tools (electric screwdriver or hand drill will save you a lot of time) and lots of space to work with. I'm a 23 year old woman and managed to do it on my own..The door push mechanisms are a bit of a pain to fit though, trying to get it to slot in I managed to break one of the brackets and cut my thumb on the plastic, they are also a but stiff on some of the drawers and you really have to push it hard.It's a bit "gappy" around the doors but I am going to try adjusting the hinges a bit to rectify it. I ordered two of these and when I started building the second one I realized one of the sides for the drawer didn't have all the holes drilled which was a bit annoying but I have contacted the seller and asked for a new drawer so I'm sure it won't be too much of a problem.Overall what I would say is don't expect some designer piece of furniture as that it is not but it does not look cheap and nasty to me either, also allocate yourself a lot of time to build it and be patient. Make sure to look at all the instructions properly!

Take your time putting it together. I'm not DIY savvy and did it on my own in a couple of hours. I could have done with a little help picking it up as it's awkward towards the end.I noticed that a couple of the drawings were ever so slightly wrong towards the end of the build but by then I knew what I was doing and all was fine.The quality is really nice. All the gloss elements were covered in plastic out of the box so nothing was scratched, well protected.The unit is well packaged. The box is very heavy so be prepared to ask for help when carrying it.All in all, very happy with my purchase. Recommended.

I ordered this cabinet in white gloss / lime, along with another matching (but bigger) unit.I do have to say, they look stunning!!They both arrived on time, and packaged very well.I would allow some extra time to build these, as it did take some time to get the doors and draws to line up, and for the for 'flush' look to be just right, but that was achieved by adjusting the hinges and also the push fit mechanism having a twist out function on them that I was unaware of.After emailing Vladon customer services, I had all the help I needed. I received a phone call straight back from them, and also some 'You Tube' footage was of great help. Customer service from Vladon was excellent, they sent me out some extra 'spare' parts, as I found the drawer runners a little stiff, which I felt hindered the the push fit mechanism from working as it should. Just a point of note, dont forget to remove the protective film on each individual part before you start building the units...Overall, these are great value for money, they look expensive and are very well built.

I made sure all the individual parts were undamaged before I started assembling. It's not difficult to put together if you sort out your screws and bits into piles before you start. In fact, it's no more difficult than any Ikea furniture I've ever put together. My 2nd drawer is ever so slightly misaligned (as others have said), but nothing too major. Overall a nice, quite sturdy, cabinet.EDIT: The look of the “wood” is poor (can be seen on bottom right and top drawer looks like it was made of two separate bits). The opening mechanism is also very poor. I wish I spent my money on a tested and tried Ikea product.

These are smart looking but I had to readjust a couple of things. Firstly, the metal drawer runners had holes that did not line-up with the drilled holes on the wooden side panels. As these were on the external-faced panels, care was needed in limiting the depth of the holes to stop damaging the outside of the unit. The drill diameter also need to be accurate as the screws were square profiled (not tapered point). The unit manufacturers need to liaise better with their suppliers. Then the push-to-open and close buffer components did not work consistently. I had to stick a "shim" on the back of some of the drawers/doors to make it work. As an experienced DIY person, these were just annoyances I could overcome. Some of the instruction diagrams were quite obscure - a 90 degree specification was shown but no explanation given. I would not recommend the inexperienced to buy these.

Great piece of furniture and decent quality too. Easy enough to put together and the teal doors match our colour scheme so very pleased with it.

End result is very good. Like with any instructions you should always read the a couple of times prior to starting to assemble anything. Make sure that you check and count all the parts when unpacking the unit. I always use a clean dust sheet to lay it all on, plus this will protect the gloss doors. It isn't difficult but the instructions could be better in parts. Good quality and value for more, looks great. The ready built equivalent is well over £300!!

I did follow all instructions, they were very clear, but I was highly impressed that the cabinets and drawers do not align correctly, after many tries of getting them to work it was impossible. I ended up giving up, and just live with the fact that if I open the right cabinet, the second drawer will also open, and vice-versa, which is annoying. The other thing is the springers look very low quality, and sometimes they don't open/push the doors as they should.The material looks good and durable, assembly instructions very clear, and delivery perfect.
