Looks greatDanielI am very pleased with the Besta unit and it looks great with glass doors and shelves. It was not too difficult to assemble.5
Love.NafisaI love my new sideboard. It took my husband and I about 2.5 hours to assemble and we did run into the issue of the doors not aligning like mentioned in other reviews - BUT after reading the review from Brittany on how to resolve the issue (loosening/tightening the screws on the door hinges) it was perfect. Highly recommend this configuration of the Besta sideboard aesthetic.5
Don't be fooled by the pictures!JoseliThis piece does not assemble as shown. Only the dimensions diagram shows that one-third of it is actually a separate piece so there's a (very apparent!) seam on the top and front. Additionally, the legs cannot be assembled as shown; there's no way to have just one leg between each third. Where the double piece and the single piece come together, there will be two legs! And no, this is not me not knowing how to assemble it properly. I hired Task Rabbit and had a professional assemble it for me (who, incidentally, said it was one of the most difficult Ikea pieces they had ever assembled!). I'm very disappointed. I wanted the look shown on the website and I am not going to have it. And this is after waiting more than eight months for the product to be available. This has probably been my last Ikea purchase.1
Very elegant pieceAnonymous reviewerEnded up buying this unit after shopping around in several sites. For the money and the look, it ended up being a good deal. It is 2 pieces that attach, which is not that bad but its a IKEA system that allows you to play with it. Understanding the concept will allow an aware purchase.4
please disregard previous review!Anonymous reviewerfound another box that had another complete section for the unit, so it is as advertised 70 inches... I only looked online and it looked like one piece so did not know it was separate! so this will fit my crafts perfectly5
