Vida Designs Oxford 4 Tier Cube Bookcase, White Wooden Shelving Display Storage Unit Office Living Room Furniture

Good value
Easy to assemble. Quite heavy. Good value for the money

Sturdy
Very easy to put together. Sturdy. I’ve got a few of these cubes in different sizes, great for storage

Good end result after a little extra effort
I had pretty low expectations of this after reading the mixed reviews, but it was the only thing I’d come across that would fit perfectly in the little alcove-within-an-alcove I wanted it for, and between Amazon’s ever varying prices and a promotional voucher I got it for well under half the usual price so it seemed worth a shot. Despite all the issues below I’m very pleased with the end result, especially considering how little I paid. It seems sturdy once built and should be fine to support the weight of as many books as you can fit into it, although I’m using it for DVD/Blu-ray box sets myself, leaving my original bookcase free for the few paper books I’ve kept since moving to Kindle. Once ‘doctored’ a bit it actually looks good too, sitting in my little home office alcove. If I hadn’t had to do some creative assembly and some cover-up work to get it looking that way, it would have been 5 stars, but I can’t justify more than 3 stars due to the poor finish and lack of quality control, especially taking into account the full RRP.First impressions on opening the box weren’t great, I could immediately see a chip out of the black finish at the corner of one shelf, along with a scratch along the front edge of it, and what looked like a lot of marking but actually turned out to be mostly dust on many of the other panels. Having wiped away the dust I could still see a few greasy looking marks on the side panels if the light caught them just right, but knowing that wouldn’t happen where I planned to put it, I went ahead with putting it together. The shelf with the chipped corner I used for the bottom panel, chip downwards so it’s against the floor and can’t be seen. The black was peeling away slightly at one corner of a side panel too, a dab of glue sorted that.Putting the side panels and shelves together was the work of a few minutes. Don’t be tempted (as some reviewers seem to have been!), to use a hammer on the dowels, they push in easily by hand and then it’s just a matter of adding the screws which also have pre-drilled holes. The backing panel was the time consuming bit as it came in 5 separate pieces which all had to be nailed on. Forewarned by previous reviews, and thinking myself that the provided nails looked a bit heavy duty for the job, I used my own finer panel pins for the most part and managed to avoid any damage – one at each corner and one in the middle of each vertical side is enough per panel. One good part of this kit is the three little brackets provided to go along the join of each pair of panels, which add a good bit of rigidity. You do need to use the nails provided when attaching those as the nail head needs to be big enough not to go right though the hole in the bracket.I got the black version as I said (and noticed my hands were going black as I built it, so wouldn’t advise trying to clean it with anything other than a dry cloth despite the instructions saying a slightly damp one is fine, or the colour seems likely to come off!) and unlike the photos the back panel provided was black on one side, brown on the other – that was fine as I put the black side facing inwards and the brown side at the back where it’s against the wall. However the side edges of the panel were also brown, which didn’t look so great when viewed from the side and you could also see a tiny bit of bare wood at the edges of some of the shelves where they met the side panels. Five minutes with a black marker sorted both those issues, I’ve included both before and after pics. The stickers provided to cover the screws don’t stand out too much in the black version, although you do see a little shine off them if the light catches them.So basically, if you can pick it up cheap and are willing to do a little bit of extra work to fix any imperfections, this is a decent buy. I wouldn’t pay full price though, just due to what seems to be poor quality control.

Cupboard
The cupboard is very sturdy, and it looks great. I used it for my something like else which you good. It’s was easy to clean up after setting it up. The space where it put its great and it’s not too out .

esta bien sencillo pero bien

Una estantería de medidas poco habituales que está perfecta para completar huecos entre muebles o colocar de forma exenta. Llevaba tiempo buscando algo con estas medidas aproximadas.El pedido llego en perfectas condiciones y en la fecha acordada.Se monta con facilidad.. Si se desea se puede montar sin los paneles de los fondos, son varios, y aunque no se tarda demasiado hubiese sido más práctico un solo panel. Una vez montada es compacta y resistente, siempre que se respeten los pesos recomendados por el fabricante.Cumple perfectamente su función.Era para la habitación de mi hija y queda perfecta.

La madera es muy fina pero al montarlo queda bastante firme, asegurense de mirar las medidas porque la foto no es lo que parece. Facil de montar con un ayudante.
