I needed a bit more storage space in my very small kitchen and this sideboard does the job perfectly. It looks good, easy to assemble and is very light weight. The draws and doors open and close easily. I was able to assemble it all on my own and DIY isn't my thing but the instructions were easy enough to follow. It did however take me a lot longer than the stated 40 minutes to assemble. It took me more than 2 hours. I think it is a great little unit and well worth the money.

It says 40 minutes to build - rubbish! If the instructions were accurate (several errors) and clear, then it would not take 20 minutes to read and understand them. I bought 2 and I built the first one myself and it took about 6 hours over 3 days. I had help with the second one (someone who has built a lot of furniture) and even with his help and knowing the problems from the first one, it still took 3 hours to build. Although the finished product is as good as you can hope for with a cheap self-build product, we will be changing it when we can find something we really like and these 2 will be consigned to a storage room, where they will serve an excellent purpose. As cheap everyday useable furniture, I can't really complain and they will serve the function they were bought for. Would I buy Mercer furniture again? Yes, probably, if I want a cheap, functional, product that is frustrating to build.Read full review

Took me just under 5hours to put this together and had a lot of trouble putting this together, dowels were either too big or too small. Some of the holes had been drilled too big which caused a lot of problems trying to put it together. Looks lovely when put together but I had to bodge a lot of it. However the bottom corner of the side board is not screwed in properly as the holes were not aligned and had been cut too big. On the whole I would not purchase anymore of this furniture. You get what you pay for with this.

I have now ordered 4 pieces of this furniture from the same company and everyone has had faults from holes drilled in the wrong places and plugged, to foot prints on the wood. The pocket hole tool they use makes the screws go in off centre so the frame can crack, and alignment of the pieces has been off too. The overall look of the furniture I like, just think the guys making the product should take more care as it’s not as if it’s a cheap argos piece of furniture your buying.

This range of high quality/low budget has began excellent buy (I have various items now). There is a 'real wood" feel about everything and so long as you are patient in assembling it will provide a great piece of furniture. If there was an area for improvement, it would only be the instructions that took me a while to work out but once in the routine of what to look for and frequent check backs to the itemised list of panels, fittings etc it all falls into place quite easily.
