Poorly designed
I spent two afternoons (approx 3-4 hrs) assembling this item and found numerous poor design features that people should be aware of. Firstly, do not believe the manufacturers claim that you only need one screwdriver, have at least three or more. Also, you will need these screwdrivers to have very slim handles, later on assembling you will see why I have said this, especially when you get to the assembling of the washing machine area.
The screws are made of an aluminium composite and are of dubious quality, easy to ruin the tops. Furthermore, I used some Vaseline to help ease the more uncooperative screws in place and also had to use a drill to make pilot holes for such.
When assembling the top/counter, I suggest you make pilot holes here and apply the Vaseline, it is extreamly difficult to turn a screwdriver because there is no room for you to turn your hand. You also have to push down on the screw whilst turning the screw in, this is very difficult because on assembling, the whole thing will be turned on it's side following the instructions.
The washing machine door is a joke. It is not fit for purpose and only the slightest pull on this will release it from the hinge and, as you would expect when something keeps coming off and being put back again,only serves to make the fitting looser.
Even though I have not given this a good review, if you overlook the assembly problems and washing machine design it has been enjoyed by our little one and I suppose that is all that matters? The size is perfect, colours nice and there are plenty of features.
As with everything, buyer be aware!
